And the 2010 Golden Schmoes winners are...!! | Movie News
As in previous years, it was the film with the most nominations (INCEPTION with a record-setting 19) that ended up with the most wins at the Golden Schmoes this year, as Christopher Nolan's film managed to sweep most of the major awards, just like his previous film, THE DARK KNIGHT, did just two years ago (that film won 12 different categories at the time). INCEPTION managed to win in 9 categories this year including "Favorite Movie", "Best Director" (take that, Oscars!!), "Trippiest Movie", "Best Sci-Fi Movie", "Best Special Effects", "Favorite Movie Poster", "Best Trailer" and both "Best Action Sequence" and "Most Memorable Scene" of the year.
Nolan also becomes the 3rd director after Peter Jackson (2002, 2003) and Quentin Tarantino (2004, 2009) to win "Best Director" twice at the Golden Schmoes! Check out where INCEPTION stacks up against previous "big winners" of the Golden Schmoes below... (Note: Nolan has 3 of his films in the top 10...the schmoes love him!)
MOST WINS @ GOLDEN SCHMOES (All-Time):
| 1. | The Dark Knight (2008) | 12 |
| 2. | Return of the King (2003) | 10 |
| 3. | Inception (2010) | 9 |
| 4. | The Two Towers (2002) | 9 |
| 5. | Sin City (2005) | 7 |
| 6. | Fellowship of the Ring (2001) | 7 |
| 7. | Inglourious Basterds (2009) | 6 |
| 8. | The Departed (2006) | 6 |
| 9. | Pirates of the Caribbean (2003) | 6 |
| 10. | Memento (2001) | 6 |
The other two big winners this year were Edgar Wright's SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD, which won 4 different categories including one of my favorite awards for "Most Underrated Movie of the Year", as well as "Best Comedy", "Best Music" and "Biggest Surprise". KICK-ASS actually finished in 2nd place for both "Most Underrated" and "Biggest Surprise" right behind SCOTT PILGRIM, but it too managed to nab 4 different categories -- every single one featuring the very awesome Chloe Grace Moritz aka Hit-Girl -- including "Best Supporting Actress", "Breakthrough Performance of the Year", "Coolest Character" and "Best Line"!
Unfortunately for other films like TRON: LEGACY (7 nominations), THE SOCIAL NETWORK (12 nominations) and BLACK SWAN (12 nominations), the INCEPTION sweep provided them with few wins, as TRON: LEGACY ended up with 0 awards, although THE SOCIAL NETWORK managed 2 for "Best Screenplay" and "Best Actor", while BLACK SWAN also managed 2 for "Best Horror Movie" (yeah, you read that right) and "Best Actress" for Natalie Portman, who becomes the first actress to win twice in that category (her previous win was in 2006 for V FOR VENDETTA). Portman's actually won 3 Golden Schmoes so far, as she also won for "Best Supporting Actress" for CLOSER back in 2004. You can see the full list of this year's winners RIGHT HERE.
GENERAL NOTES: Mila Kunis was runner-up for both "Best Supporting Actress" and "Best T&A" (which she won in 2008 for FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL), while newcome Hailee Steinfeld was runner-up for both "Best Actress" and "Breakthrough Performance of the Year". Kelly Brooke won "Best T&A" in a landslide (go boobies!!), while Conan O'Brien became our first ever non-actor to finish in the running (he finished right behind James Franco as "Favorite Celebrity of the Year"). TOY STORY 3 also marked the 7th time in 10 years that a Pixar film won for "Best Animated Movie" and the 5th Pixar film to win it in a row. I also think it's the first time that the word "cunts" is included in our awards, but I'm sure it won't be the last (check the "Best Line" category for that doozy).
Thanks to everyone who participated again this year and who keep making our little awards ceremony more and more popular every year. And if you haven't done so already, be sure to enter our OSCAR PREDICTION CONTEST right HERE! And stay tuned for our Oscar coverage, this coming Sunday, February 27th. See ya'll next year!

Hopefully, 2011 can have more obscure films on the final ballot. However, nominations are likely to include mostly wide releases that everyone has seen.

Kind of disappointed with all the Inception love. And I'm really pissed off that How to Train Your Dragon didn't beat out Toy Story 3. I knew it had no shot, but it was the better film.

Yes, Inception is incredible. I don't care how much money it made.. It still rocks. However I don't think it deserved as many awards as it got.
And Scott Pilgrim for best music? What a joke. Fuck that movie.. Daft Punk had all the love 2 months ago, where'd it go??
And btw, Black Swan (terrific flick) isn't a horror movie until about the last half-hour.. incase you guys didn't know....

Most Overrated Movie: Twilight Runner: Up: Alice in Wonderland
I think the voters mistook box office for the word “overrated”. Inception deserved this title without question. I think when people are shouting praises that a movie is the “best of the decade” IN THE FIRST YEAR OF THE DECADE, then that makes it a bit overrated.
Trippiest Movie of the Year: Inception
Yeah, where they dream and it looks EXACTLY like reality. How trippy!
Biggest Disappointment of the Year: Iron Man 2
I agree with this. I really liked Iron Man 1 and the sequel was awful in my opinion.
Best Actor: Jesse Eisenberg
I thought he was just playing an unlikable version of himself which wasn’t too difficult to do. Colin Firth gave a real performance and James Franco carried an entire movie by himself and skillfully evoked the emotion of being trapped by the boulder.
Best Actress: Natalie Portman Runner Up: Hailee Steinfeld
I like Natalie Portman but her character in Black Swan was a one-dimensional caricature. An extreme performance that calls attention to the fact that she’s acting. Jennifer Lawrence was PHENOMENAL in Winter’s Bone and deserved to win this. And Hailee Steinfeld shouldn’t be runner up because she’s just a caricature like Portman’s character.
Supporting Actor: Christian Bale Runner Up: Joseph Gordon Levitt
I thought he was great in The Fighter, although I didn’t like the actual movie. Joseph Gordon Levitt being runner up was ridiculous. He just stood around the entire movie in an attempt to look cool. Really, people, he was better than Geoffrey Rush in The King’s Speech?

Of course, Kelly Brook. Anyone that might've voted for someone other than her would need their head examined.
TRON: LEGACY should've gotten the music award and the ALIEN ANTHOLOGY should've been voted as best home video release. Other than that, pretty much agree with the rest.
