And the 2010 Golden Schmoes winners are…!!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

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):

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
