The 2026 Paultacular Bruene Awards Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome! to the fifteenth annual Paultacular Bruene awards. They grow up so fast. Heeere’s the format. We – you, me, all of us – are going to run through some categories, most standard and a few of my own creation. Inertia reigns this year, no new categories and none leaving us. Is that because I’ve perfected this thing after fifteen years, or I’ve lost my creativity and/or gotten lazy? Who’s to say. Each category gets five Contenders and one Winner. As of this writing I’ve seen 52 films released in 2025, which is…fine. I did fine. So without much further ado…the Pauls!
