It’s time boys and girls to see who you picked for the winners of this Award show. I have to say thank you for all of you that voted this year, I actually received a lot more votes than last year which made me pretty happy. Like always to avoid long list of nominees again I will only put the nominees that got votes and then the winner. I’ll also give my little thoughts on the winner or winners (since there were A LOT of ties this year) so onward to the votes
BEST ANIMATED MOVIE
WINNERS:
1) The Adventures of Tintin
2) Puss in Boots
Gnomeo and Juliet
Rio
Kung Fu Panda 2
Rango
Thoughts: I only three animated movies this year and two of them are actually the winners and only choosing one as the best is pretty hard. I’m glad however that Tintin and Puss in Boots got the wins.
BEST HORROR MOVIE
WINNER: Insidious
Paranormal Activity 3
Fright Night
Scream 4
Final Destination 5
The Thing
I Saw the Devil
Thoughts: I really liked Insidious and out of all the movies on this list I would have picked Insidious, PA3 and I Saw the Devil (although it never got a wide release). Insidious actually had me nervous and gave me chills while watching it.
BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE
WINNER: X-Men First Class
Thor
Priest
Captain America The First Avenger
Thoughts: X-Men: First Class can be said to be one of the biggest surprises of this year and I’m one of those that believe that. First Class was a great comic book movie and one of the best performances of the year by Michael Fassbender.
BEST FIGHT
WINNERS:
1) Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: Wizards vs Voldmorts army
2) Rise of the Planet of the Apes: Apes vs Humans
3) Fast Five: Dom (Vin Diesel) vs Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson)
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: Harry vs Voldemort
Colombiana: Cataleya (Zoe Saldana) vs Marco (Jordi Molla)
Drive: Driver (Ryan Gosling) vs Hitman (Elevator Fight)
Warrior: Tommy (Tom Hardy) vs Mad Dog
Season of the Witch: Monastery Fight
Priest: Priest (Paul Bettany) vs Black Hat (Karl Urban)
X-Men: First Class: X-Men vs The Hellfire Club
Immortals: Gods vs Titans
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows: Sherlock Holmes vs Assassin
Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows: Sherlock Holmes vs James Moriarty
Thoughts: This year was a good year for movies but also a good year for fights and as you can see from the winners it was pretty hard to pick just one. The Harry Potter good vs evil fight was one that they have been building up for a while now and it delivered everything we expected. Another fight that delivered the good was The Rock vs Vin Diesel in Fast Five, a pretty brutal fight scene that had a lot of people cheering and on their seats. Of course the last was humans vs apes in Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The takeover on San Fransisco was a great experience to see and some of the best moments of the year for me.
BEST VILLAIN
WINNER: Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Tom Hiddleston as Loki – Thor
Jason Flemying as Azazel – X-Men: First Class
William Fitchner as The Accountant – Drive Angry 3D
Terence Stamp as Thompson – The Adjustment Bureau
Cate Blanchett as Marissa – Hanna
Ghostface – Scream 4
Albert Brooks as Bernie Rose – Drive
The Creature – The Thing
Karl Urban as Black Hat – Priest
Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw – X-Men: First Class
Jared Harris as Professor James Moriarty – Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Hugo Weaving as Johann Schmidt/Red Skull – Captatin America: The First Avenger
Thoughts: The One That Shall Not Be Named will most likely go down as one of most popular or best villains in movie and book history. While I liked Fiennes performance as Voldemort I actually liked Hiddleston’s Loki in Thor and Fitchner’s The Accountant in Drive Angry.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
WINNERS:
1) Kat Dennings as Darcy – Thor
2) Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Hayden Panettiere as Kirby – Scream 4
Courteney Cox as Gale – Scream 4
Marion Cotillard as Dr. Leonora Orantes – Contagion
Robin Wright as Erika Berger – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Bonnie Wright as Ginny Weasley – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Thoughts: I have to say the supporting actress roles this year were scattered everywhere and I actually like Dennings performance as the comic relief Darcy in Thor and was probably the best one this year.
BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
WINNERS:
1) David Tennant as Peter Vincent – Fright Night
2) Jamie Foxx as MF Jones – Horrible Bosses
3) Jude Law as Dr. John Watson – Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
4) Stellan Skarsgard as Martin Vanger – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stephen Dorff as Stavros – Immortals
Nick Krause as Sid – The Descendants
Simon Pegg as Benji – Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
Jay Chou as Kato – The Green Hornet
Timothy Olyphant as Henri – I Am Number Four
Ramon Rodriguez as LT. William Martinez – Battle LA
Sung Kang as Han – Fast Five
Nick Nolte as Paddy Conlon – Warrior
Thoughts: Usually it’s the women giving great performance but at least for me it seems that the men bought their A game for the supporting roles. I agree with the winners but I also feel that Nick Nolte gave a great performance in Warrior and of course The Rock in Fast Five.
BEST ACTRESS
WINNERS:
1) Shailene Woodley as Alexandra King – The Descendants
2) Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
3) Noomi Rapace as Madam Simza Heron – Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Emma Watson as Hermione Granger – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter – Captain America: The First Avenger:
Michelle Rodriguez as Tech Sergeant Elena Santos – Battle LA
Rose Bryne as Renai Lambert – Insidious
Saoirse Ronan as Hanna – Hanna
Neve Campbell as Sidney – Scream 4
Jennifer Lawrence as Raven/Mystique – X-Men: First Class
Elle Fanning as Alice – Super 8
Bailee Madison as Sally – Don’t be Afraid of the Dark
Viola Davis as Aibileen Clark – The Help
Thoughts: Woodley surprised me in her role in The Descendants (as did the movie as a whole) and Mara surpassed my expectations as Lisbeth Salander in Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The other performances that surprised me was actually Bailee Madison in Don’t be Afraid of the Dark. Although the supporting roles were a bit off but the staring roles shined this year, great job ladies.
BEST ACTOR
WINNERS:
1) Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr – X-Men: First Class
2) Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Jason Sudeikis as Kurt – Horrible Bosses
Chris Evans as Steve Rogers/Captain America – Captain America: The First Avenger
Alex Pettyfer as John/Number 4 – I Am Number Four
Aaron Eckhart as Staff Sergeant Michael Nantz – Battle LA
Matthew McConaughey as Mick Haller – The Lincoln Lawyer
Patrick Wilson as Josh Lambert – Insidious
David Arquette as Dewey – Scream 4
Andy Serkis as Caesar – Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Chris Hemsworth as Thor – Thor
Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes – Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Matt Damon as Mitch Emhoff – Contagion
Jude Law as Alan Krumwiede – Contagion
Ryan Gosling as Driver – Drive
Thoughts: The women bought their A-game but so did the men this year and Fassbender was the man leading the charge with performances in X-Men and other films like Shame and A Dangerous Method. However, Fassbender wasn’t along in the comic book great performance, Chris Evans and Chris Hemsworth gave great performances as Captain America and Thor. BUT, I thought Andy Serkis gave the best performance this year as the ape leader Caesar in Rise of the Planet of the Apes even though you never see his face.
BEST DIRECTOR
WINNERS:
1) David Yates – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2
2) David Fincher – The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Steven Soderbergh – Contagion
Gavin O’Connor – Warrior
Jonathan Liebesman – Battle LA
Kevin Smith – Red State
Brad Furman – The Lincoln Lawyer
James Wan – Insidious
Wes Craven – Scream 4
Justin Lin – Fast Five
Matthew Vaughn – X-Men: First Class
Guy Ritchie – Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
Brad Bird – Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol
Takashi Miike – 13 Assassins
Thoughts: David Yates closed the Harry Potter series in a great way and David Fincher bought us a pretty damn good remake of an already great movie. I also liked what Brad Bird, Matthew Vaughn and Justin Lin did in their movies and Takashi Miike beautiful and bloody direction in 13 Assassins.
