The Schmoes have spoken and the winners of The 18th Annual Golden Schmoes are here! The major winner this year was AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, which came just shy of besting our all-time winner THE DARK KNIGHT by two votes, but still managed to unseat THE LORD OF THE RINGS: RETURN OF THE KING in the all-time number two spot with eleven total wins. As a huge fan of the film myself, I think the votes went to the right place, considering I think it was unquestionably the best superhero film of the year.
The other two big winners were SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE and BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, each of which took home three awards. ANNIHILATION and A QUIET PLACE each took home two awards, with the rest falling to single title wins after the massive shut out of AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR. Notable losses were A STAR IS BORN, BLACKKKLANSMAN, THE FAVOURITE and BLACK PANTHER, all of which have gotten a lot of attention with the Oscar/Golden Globe crowd. In the end, you all voted and decided, not a special academy or press group and this is how it shook out.

Thanks to everyone who took part in the nomination phase and to all who voted in this year's awards! In the end, it's YOU GUYS who decide everything in the Golden Schmoes, from nominations to voting, so this is all about your perspective.
