From Dorka Nieradzik
To Dorka Nieradzik [Dorka Nieradzik Mbe]
MBE is short for Member of the Order of the British Empire.
From my understanding, this is a an "Order of Chivalry" and the lowest step on the way to being a Knight, and being able to use the title of Sir.
Would it be treated as a title (included in credited as), or more as an association (excluded)?
Aside from the fact that, it should be MBE and not Mbe. |

| | Posted: | | | | I'd treat it as an association, since actual titles are more in the lines of "Dame", "Duchess" or similar.
But maybe we should ask our British members if MBE is actually a title. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

| | Posted: | | | | Cast, as a rule, don't show associations. I think it should be allowed in the credited as assuming: 1) It is actually on screen 2) The case is fixed From the Rules (MBE would be equivalent to the USMC in the example) : Quote:
Example: a credit of "Cpl. John Smith, USMC" should be entered as First Name: "John", Last Name "Smith", Credited As "Cpl. John Smith, USMC" | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | This isn't a cast entry. It is a crew entry for Makeup Artist. Crew do show associations (sound, editor, DoP, etc).
Is this like a guild association, or more like "USMC"?

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, it should be MBE and I would think we should treat it the same way as 'Sir'.
It is not a guild association. It is an award given out by the Queen during her annual Birthday Honours.

| | Posted: | | | | I didn't see an answer to tweeters question but, if it is part of the on-screen credit, then I don't see why it shouldn't be entered. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.

Dorka Nieradzik [Dorka Nieradzik MBE] I assume that would go for OBE, CBE, KBE(DBE), or GBE if presented. Charlie |
