Last week Solid Country Gold was nominated for five awards at AOF Film Festival in Pasadena, California and we learned Saturday that they took home the prize in three of those categories. Solid Country Gold won Best Comedy, Best Supporting Actor-Matt Hagan and Best Feature Soundtrack.
While I think it is really cool that Solid Country Gold won Best Comedy, I think it is way more awesome that Matt Hagan beat Hellboy, Ron Perlman for best supporting actor. Also nominated were Costas Mandylor who has a pretty impressive resume although I have never heard of him, and Brian Tee who also boasts an impressive resume.
You know how people always say “Man if we filmed our life it would make a really funny movie.” Well that is basically what Solid Country Gold is. While the story is made up, the “actors” are pretty much being themselves. And of all the “actors” that are an exaggeration of their personality, Hagan’s character is 90 percent true to his daily life.

Oh and I guess I won part of the award because my on the spot crappy song I made up that’s in the movie is on the soundtrack…
That’s awesome! Congrats to Ronnie and the guys!
