History

Cinema Paradiso Club, and also known as CPC, was formed by a group of cinephiles in the year 2010 in Kerala, India. Several actors and technicians from the industry like Indrajith Sukumaran, Aashiq Abu, Abrid Shine, Saiju Kurup, Midhun Manuel Thomas, Syam Pushkaran, Neeraj Madhav etc also became an active part of the group, and most of them openly accepted criticisms.

The idea of honoring the best performances in malayalam cinema evolved in mid-2015. The first crowd sourced CPC Cine Awards was announced in the year 2016 for the movies released in 2015 in malayalam film industry as CPC Cine Awards 2015. Though the awards were announced, it was not awarded in person to the winners, in an official ceremony.

CPC Cine Awards 2016, that was announced in January 2017 had much more participation from the members of the group than the previous year. Similar to the previous year, the combination of votes from members and the score from the jury was used for declaring the winners. On 19 February 2017, the awards were distributed to the winners in a ceremony held at Kochi

CPC Cine Awards 2017, was announced in January 2018, to honor the best cinematic performances for Malayalam films released during the year 2017. A major change in polling system was that the poll was open to public, which in the previous years were restricted to the members of the club.. Also a new category was included this year, award for The Best Editor, for which the winner was selected by the jury panel alone, without considering the members' vote. Similar to the previous year, the Special Honarary Award, was selected by special committee and was awarded to K. G. George for his contributions to Malayalam cinema. The winners were declared and announced to the public on 27th of January 2018
