Velkommen, bienvenue, benvenuto,
tervetuloa, and welcome, to the fourth annual I’m Right Awards! It’s so lovely
to have all you beautiful and sophisticated people—with great taste in seldom-updated blogs—with me. No, you’re the best!
Quick rundown of the rules,
which are mostly unchanged from last year: I’m going to go, category by
category, through many of the Oscar categories and give my personal list of
what the nominees, and winner, should have been. In my humble opinion, of
course…though, after all, I am right.
It says so right in the title.
Anyways, like in the past few
years, I’ve replaced a few of the Oscar categories with new ones of my own.
Some I ditched because I think they’re dumb, or at least don’t really fit in
with the rest, like the shorts categories. Others I’ve chosen to replace simply
because I haven’t really seen enough films to render any sort of opinion,
namely Best Foreign Film and Best Documentary. I’ve gotten rid of a couple of
my original categories from last year and replaced them with what I think are
better one; Best Trailer is gone, as is Best Sequel, Remake, or Ripoff.
Finally, I’ve consolidated Best
Adapted and Best Original Screenplay into one category (Best Screenplay); I
understand the value of treating them differently (adapting source material and
coming up with your own are very different tasks), but the distinctions were
giving me a headache. So, fuck it.
And, without much further
ado…the Pauls!
