Subject: Please vote for my 2011 Igor Awards

Written By: ChrisBodilyTM on 01/18/11 at 7:34 pm

This is a bit early considering Oscar nods haven't been announced yet, but now there's plenty of time to vote.  ;D

The Igor-Boris Awards (All the good names are taken) is the alternative to both the Oscars and the Razzies. We honor the REAL Oscar winners and put excrement like Halloween II back in its place. We "award" the best AND the worst. And unlike the Oscars, you may have actually HEARD of some of these movies.  ;) ;D

Here is the official 2011 ballot! You can vote for write-ins, as well. I will note if I have seen a particular movie ONLY in the FIRST INSTANCE of the title.

Anyone?

:-\\ :-[

The Razzies were announced and Twilight has a sh*tload of nominations, much to my outrage. Also, with the Oscars, Nolan was SNUBBED for Best Director and Tron Legacy visual effects!!! WTMFF????  :o >:(

I still haven't seen T:L, but the de-aging special effect is gonna hit it big in movies.

You can fixthese errors by voting here. Tell me which film deserves to win in each category.

The Oscars are this Sunday, so I really need a boost in Igor voting. Otherwise I'll just have to resort to Rotten Tomatoes, but that's not gonna help me with individual people who are nominated.

Happy voting! See you at the movies!  8)

Polls are now closed due to lack of voting and the fact that the Oscars are on tonight.

May the best or worst "win."
