Celebrate Romantic Comedies with the Meet Cuties Awards – Full List of Nominees

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and love is in the air!

The Meet Cuties are celebrating with the first-ever award show to honor love through the latest and greatest romantic comedies.

The Meet Cute, a modern rom-com entertainment brand with a focus on original scripted romantic comedies, is behind the awards.

Company CEO and Founder Naomi Shah, explained, “Somewhere in between superhero blockbusters and best-picture-nominated indies, rom-coms are wholly underrepresented in awards season. They deserve critical thought and serious recognition, which is why we decided to create the Meet Cuties.”

Keep reading for the full list of nominees below and tune in to the Meet Cute YouTube page on February 13 – Valentine’s Day Eve – to find out who wins. The Meet Cuties will be hosted by Mike Manning and Deánna Giulietti.

Nominees are English-language 2022 rom-coms available in theaters or on streaming in 2022. Except for holiday movies, which were excluded due to volume.
