Aloha everyone to the seventh (!)
annual Paultacular Bruene Awards, formerly known as the I’m Right Awards. I
think the ironic bluster that characterized the previous title (and sometimes
content) has run its course as a joke, so I’m doing a minor rebranding. Focus
group testing has been very positive.
Here’s the format, pretty much
unchanged: I’m going to run through and give my own five contenders (renamed
from “nominees” because I wasn’t really nominating anything) and winners for
all of the traditional Oscar film categories, with a few tweaks. I’ve removed
categories about which I lack an opinion*, due to either a) not having seen
(m)any, like the three shorts categories, or b) I don’t care about, like Best
Makeup.
But, due to a tax loophole I’m
exploiting, for every category I take away I add one back. Bolded words in italics are winning movies, bolded words or phrases not
in italics are hyperlinks.
And, without much further ado…the
Pauls!
*Dangling prepositions are part of
the old brand. That’s something I feel very strongly about. Wait, shi-
