Help the People Choose Correctly!
November 13th, 2008
As everyone knows, I'm DC's resident awards show junkie, and while even I usually give the People's Choice Awards a pass, I couldn't help but notice their contenders in the Favorite Sci-Fi/Fantasy TV Show category, all of which have been the topic of much discussion around these parts.
The three nominated shows are "Heroes", "Supernatural", and "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles". The fact that "Heroes" made the cut is pretty disheartening considering how far it has declined since its debut, but the other two are more than worthy. For me it was a tough call, but in the end I had to cast my vote for the Winchester brothers.
Other categories that have some relevance to Dread Central readers are:
FAVORITE ACTION MOVIE
The Dark Knight
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Iron Man
(These same three films are up for overall favorite movie as well)
FAVORITE ON-SCREEN MATCH-UP
Christian Bale & Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
Tina Fey & Amy Poehler (Baby Mama)
Harrison Ford & Shia LaBeouf (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull)
(Is there any doubt here?)
FAVORITE SUPERHERO
Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne/Batman
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark/Iron Man
Will Smith as John Hancock
No doubt these are slim pickins, but the least we can do is show some support for what little genre fare there is.

Stills from Mrs. Brumett's GardenWe're always happy to receive an update from indie filmmaker Patrick Rea as to what's he's been doing, and today is no exception. According to a press release Patrick recently sent over, production companies SenoReality and Free State Studios have just wrapped on a new short film titled "Mrs. Brumett’s Garden".
If Hancock wins, we riot.

Batman will dominate. Too bad, because I really think Iron Man was the better movie. *Leaps for cover*
As far as the TV shows go, Heroes will probably take it. I don't watch any of them, but I did catch the black and white episode of Supernatural. Clever stuff, but it seemed like they could have done much more with it.

Living in L.A. I've learned a few things about these so-called "audience choice" type award shows. You can vote all you want, but it barely makes a difference. The winners are usually the folks who are most willing to show up to the awards show.

I don't doubt it, but I felt like I had to do my part to make sure Heroes doesn't win. That would just be a sin.
