You seem to have placed Last Airbender in the wrong category. Won't hold that against you, it is…after all…a common mistake. Should be in Worst Picture F.Y.I.

Seems a little unfair to brand Predators and The Sorcerer's Apprentice with the “Worst movie” category and put Skyline in “Best Horror/Action movie” when by all accounts it was absolutely terrible. Predators was the first solid Predator film since Predator 2.

Oh, and that Captain America trailer is a fake. It may've been shown at Comic Con, but I spotted scenes from Resident Evil and The Wolfman spliced into it.

I agree with Kingpin. It really isn't far place those 2 movies there despite getting mixed reviews they were both financially successful

F*ckin' “Splice” for best original screenplay? Not even that beak-nosed goon could save that jawdroppingly predictable stinkburger.

Also, you either have too many listings in one catagory and then not enough listings in another catagory.

Also also: when you pick your “winners”, don't do the scripted/roleplaying thing you did last year… that was just weird.

That's just something I had to deal with. I tried to keep it down to 10 slots max, five min. It's a little tricky to balance.

Uhh… (*egon) I'll see what I can do…

Looks like the Oscars are on this Sunday, so it's time to get a boost on Igor voting.

About “bad” movies being in the “wrong” categories…

Biggest Disappointment is for movies that I (and/or the general public) thought looked good(ish) from trailers and such. But when the films actually came out, they didn't quite nail it critically, commercially, or with fans. I never actually saw any of the films in the Disappointment or Worst Picture categories, but I didn't want to limit the ballot to the handful of movies I did see.

Surely, Oscar voters haven't seen every single nominee. :-)

Happy voting!
