I know, I know, I’m a bit late to the “Best of 2012″ party but I wanted to wait to see 3 major Oscar contenders (Amour, Zero Dark Thirty, The Master) before I made my final lists. In the mean time, I figured I could still at least show you all the next entry in this year’s Rorschach Awards, in which I give nominations for the kind of categories the Oscars will never include.
As you might recall, I held part 1 of my Rorschach Awards nearly a month ago, in which I had all of you nominate and vote for your favorite movie bloggers. With over 500 votes cast, it was a huge success and a lot of fun to put on. The next three parts will consist of three different classifications for the best and brightest of 2012:
- My nominees for my own set of categories, including Funniest, Most Surprising, etc.
- Who I would have nominated for the major categories of this year’s Oscars
- My Top 10 films of the year
Each of these posts will give my nominees in the form of polls to allow you to vote on each category. After about a week, I’ll post the winners in each category by your vote and the winners in each category by my vote. I would absolutely love to get your input on this so please vote! Without further ado, here are my nominees with links to my reviews of them.

Do you agree with my picks? Do you have suggestions of your own? Please let me know in the comments below!
Twilight in the Comedy category! Lol
I was laughing my ass off through the entire end battle so I thought it would be appropriate, lol. The Twihards next to me were not amused
TDKR was my most disappointing film this year by a large margin.
I agree.
Fun stuff. My choices dont seem to be faring well, but I had fun voting here anyways!
Lol, mine aren’t either, funnily enough
Nice choices! Great to see TDKR in most satisfying – it’s my number 1 of the year. Most moving for me was actually Frankenweenie – I cried for 50% of that movie.
I need to see that after it’s nomination for Best Animated Picture, I’ll prepare myself for sadness
I wouldn’t say it’s sad, but as a dog owner I literally cried every time the dog was scared or sad
Cool stuff! Love these kind of awards! Looking forward to the next batch of contenders.
Thanks fernando
