Sexpot of the Year

 |
 |
|
Grace |
Dr Henry Loomis |
Ray |
Ronaldo |
Saja Boys |
| Her husband Jackson and even her (fantasy?) lover Karl, just can't match her freak. | Those slutty little glasses! Henry Loomis was stealing more than just pterodactyl eggs this summer. | He's a Leather Daddy Sex God Master. Unfortunately he's also a terrible boyfriend. |
Zaddy. You believe that Baby would instantly fall for him and that men would fork over their cash. |
The lust this boyband inspires gives the movie some of its best sight gags and also proves they really did have a solid dastardly plan. |
|
Finalists: Cheers to sex positivity. Nasha (Naomie Ackie) get its in Mickey 17. This bitch knows that two Robert Pattinson's are even better than on. Bonus points for her illustrated sex position guide; Eric Reyes (Manny Jacinto) is obviously the perfect future husband in Freakier Friday -- he can even dance! Semi Finalists: Hedda (Tessa Thompson) in Hedda, Honey O'Donaghue (Margaret Qualley) in Honey Don't!, Perfidia Beverly Hills (Teyana Taylor) in One Battle After Another, Katherine St Jean (Cate Blanchett) in Black Bag, and Harry (Pedro Pascal) in Materialists |

Animal of the Year

 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Bud |
Indy |
Krypto |
Mamma Creeper |
Tapeworm |
| Caught stealing this picture (sorry)! Will convert dog people to the cat person life. |
That expressive face. The loyalty. What a good loyal fearless boy. Bonus points for going home w/ the director at night. |
Representing for all the anti-obedience school pups out there. 'Krypto will return in Supergirl'. | Intelligent kind and harmless as long as you don't disrespect this queen. 'Death to all humans' indeed. |
The year's breakthrough Body-Horror star. It steals the perverse picture simply by following its nature. |
|
Finalists: It was so hard to choose. Love them all. Like unknowable affecting Hawk in Hamnet, little doomed Googoo (meercat) in Left-Handed Girl, and naughty adorable Panda (dog) in The Love That Remains, and Liza/Elis (janus cat) in The Secret Agent - oh the duality!, Semi Finalists: scene stealing hungry Olga (cat) in Sorry Baby, and like the hilariously pompous Sterling (showdog) we don't quite understand what Honey (show dog) sees in Bull in Fixed but for every lock, a key. |

Movie Poster of the Year
(click to embiggen for the beauty) |

 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
BUGONIA |
NO OTHER CHOICE |
SINNERS |
TRON ARES |
THE WEDDING BANQUET |
| Bizarre. Perfect. The two toned syrupy glaze is stunning and surreal and blocks out transmissions to the mother ship! |
Park Chan Wook posters I tell ya. They're always detailed reminders of the brilliant pieces of a masterful whole. |
The "Sugar Shack" poster, is a stunner... transporting you back in time just like that real ring-a-ding-ding night | Simple, sure, but stunningly direct. The verticality and color are such a rush... like the first time you saw a light cycle. | A joyfully stitched beauty, like a ceremonial gift to the two couples that make up this found family. |
| Runners Up | ||||
|
Finalists: Ballad of a Small Player (drowning dissolving colors... too stylish for his own good), Weapons (children running like moonlit airplanes), Mickey 17 (with all the Mickeys behind him), The Testament of Ann Lee (mirrored Seyfried), Semi Finalists: Good Boy (shadows), Novocaine (pain points), Fantastic Four (white and blue graphic teaser... but they overdid it with so many inferrior subsequent posters) and Pillion (matching lock and key character posters - so smart) |
