As planet Earth remains in the aquiline grip of its annual film awards season, here's an infographic from illustrator Robert Shaw showing us the movie awards to keep track of from around the globe.

The Asian Film Awards, more accurately filed under the flag of the Bauhinia blakeana (speaking of which, they're also missing the Golden Bauhinia), are presented annually by the Hong Kong International Film Festival Society, awarded to features from anywhere in Asia.
Since 1962, Taiwan's Golden Horse Awards have been the gold standard for Chinese-language films from any region, with Hong Kong's Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung boasting the highest tally of Best Actor and Best Actress Awards. Traditionally dominated by Taiwan and Hong Kong throughout most of its history, Golden Horses are increasingly being awarded to mainland productions - a trend that has aroused considerable debate as well as resentment in the award's homeland.
The Tiantan Award is offered by the Beijing International Film Festival and the Golden Goblet is awarded at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The People's Hundred Flowers Award and Golden Roosters are both presented by the China Film Association. The Changchun Film Festival awards the Golden Deer - which, although ostensibly international, is only ever awarded to films from China (or regions claimed by China).
The Golden Broom Awards, recognizing the very worst in mainland Chinese cinema (a much more tiring task than recognizing the best) have been awarded in Beijing since 2010. In recent years, the so-superficial-it-burns Tiny Times franchise has swept up the most accolades.
