Awarded to the 2003 film deemed by Cosmo voters to have best covered a
historical person, event, or era. Voters will
need to decide for themselves how expansive or narrow they wish to
define this category. It clearly includes the film representation of a
specific historic event, including the portrayal of historic people,
even if some liberties are taken with historical accuracy for plot
reasons. The category may also include
fictional characters set against the backdrop of a historical event,
or films that include historical figures set in a completely
fictional setting. And finally, for some
voters it could include completely fictional characters involved in
completely fictional events, so long as those characters are set in a
recognizable historic setting where the setting or
the issues of the time play an important role in the film.
