    Jon Favreau was not best director. Nolan or Fincher was. And as people below said, HB2 was not a horror movie.

    Iron man is not a science fiction movie.Cloverfield should have one for sci fi. F*ck the Saturns. They give that bitch Jolie an award for best actress instead of Anne Hathaway who deserved it. They gave the most annoying child an award, Jaden Smith. Nolan should have one for director. I have to see that let the right one in. Every thing with tv suck ass. They got all these lifetime, life career and visionary bullsh*t and none of those awards go to Bruce Willis, before that guy leaves this planet he better get awarded with something. Pussies.

    i love how, even though hes only appeared twice on the big screen, the joker just steals the movie

    i loved jacks version for years but till heaths came out, i was blown away at how perfect they made the characteristics of the clown prince of crime

    sadistic, clever, always 2 steps ahaead of everyone, charming, plays with ur head and emotions,a petty thug with the mind of a crime boss and just enjoying every single moment of chaos hes creating

    well see in another 10 -20 years when they remake batman again and try to top heaths perfomance with another joker, highly doubt it

    why don't we just call it the joker movie? whenever someone puts a picture up about TDK, it is ALWAYS of Heath. TDK was great, but it wasnt a BATMAN film.

    Nice to hear that The Dark Knight is finally getting its awards. It earned it. The oscars can F*** Off for not even letting The Dark Knight go fo Best Picture. Who the hell even saw The Reader?

    There is only three things I do not like about the list.

    HELLBOY II: THE GOLDEN ARMY is not a HORROR movie.
    BEST DIRECTOR should have been CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (THE DARK KNIGHT)
    The DVD lists

    Other than that, great list.

    Someone should be fired if their idea of a horror film was "Hellboy II: The Golden Army."

  15. Velvet

    seriously... hellboy sucked. the first one was boring.. but the second was a little better but it still sucked and its far from a horror range. its more comical

  16. LEO: Lord Epsilon Omega

    This is good, but how the hell is Hellboy II a horror film? Can someone explain this to me?!

    3 years agoby @epsalonFlag

  17. slysnide

    oh yeah, and "The Wire" season 5 should be the best TV show award winner. But I still can't fathom why HellBoy II is slated as being a horror film? That's doing a disgrace to Guillermo Del Toro AND the movie!

    Mary Zophers did do a fantastic job at costume design for IJ4.

    And I disagree with the best director award. For me it'd be a toss up between Christopher Nolan & David Fincher.

  18. Psycho

    I agree with most of the list but best DVD release? WTF?

  19. slysnide

    I agree with most of these. But wtf? HB2 wasn't a horror film! It was fantasy/comic book. And who the hell is Jack Brooks and how can he have the best DVD release?
