THE 2012 AWARD WINNERS

The wait is over and even better you don’t have

to sit through any acceptance speechs!!

BEST FILM: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

2012 was the year of the

Superhero and it was the

Avengers that came out top. The

huge success of bringing together

all of Marvels hottest properties

so succesfully has to be put down

to Joss Whedon who delivers a

light and incredibly exciting

superhero romp.

BEST DIRECTOR: GARY ROSS

Gary Ross did an incredible job of

making a blockbuster that still

manages to look like an Indie film

with The Hunger Games. From

the very beginning of the film his

handheld camera work makes us

feel uneasy and he does a great

job of capturing brutal violence

for a 12a audience.

BEST F ILM ACTOR: GEORGE CLOONEY

For years George has being a huge star

but this year he staked an extremely early

claim for best actor in The Descendants.

The performance of his career was well

worthy of an Oscar as Clooney brilliantly

portrays a middle-aged man who’s life is

falling apart. This may be his peak but he

can still get that allusive gong, as an

actor or director.

BEST F ILM ACTRESS: JENNIFER LAWRENCE

I may be in love with her but Jennifer

Lawrence really does deserve her

actress award. The Hunger Games has

launched her to global star but she puts

in a performance to deserve that. Yeah

there might not be too much difference

to her Winter’s Bone role but you can’t

get too much of a good thing can you?

BEST F ILM SUPPORTING ACTOR: MICHAEL FASSBENDER

He’s one of the rising stars in the film

world and 2012 was a great year for

Fassbender but it will perhaps best be

remembered for his role in Prometheus.

His performance is probably the most

memorable of 2012 and without him the

film would really be as bad as every

critic seems to think…

BEST F ILM SUPPORTING ACTRESS: SHAILENE WOODLEY

Clooney’s was not the only great

performance, from under the

shadow of her incredibly famous

co-star Woodley came from

nowhere and threatened to steal

the film. Expect big things from

this girl who was painfully

overlooked during awards season.

BEST ENSEMBLE F ILM CAST: THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

Most of the success of The Dark Knight

trilogy was the case and it didn’t come

much better then ensemble assembled for

the final chapter. While the new additions

are superb it really is the returning

supporting players who steal the show

with Oldman, Caine and Freedman all

among the greatest actors of their

generation on top form.

BEST SPECIAL EFFECTS: AVENGERS ASSEMBLE

Ok it’s pretty much guaranteed that

effects are going to be good now

but it’s fair to say that Avengers

Assemble steals it. The crowning

moment is final battle scene and

the superb one shot journey around

the battle torn New York.

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN

It’s not a bad film but with the cast and

crew assembled for the newest

superhero reboot it could have been

amazing!! Maybe I just don’t like

Spiderman but with Marc Webb, Andrew

Garfield and Emma Stone surely that

would change but no lets move on and

hope that the sequel will be a tab bit

more original.

BEST TV SHOW: GAME OF THRONES

Possibly the most epic TV show of

all time, it might be complicated

but Game of Thrones was king of

2012. Yes some storylines are

better then others but there all

pretty superb and the season finale

would leave any fan gagging for the

start of season 3.

BEST TV ACTOR: ANDREW SCOT T

He’s not a house hold name yet but

Andrew Scott managed to steal

Sherlock away from 2 of the most

talented British actors of the age. Scott

managed to find the perfect balance

between menace and craziness as he

put a new spin on one of the most

famous literary villains of all time.

BEST TV ACTRESS: ZOOEY DESCHANEL

The heart of possibly the most lovable

show of 2012, Zooey Deschanel has

created one of the most lovable TV

characters of all time. Without

Deschanel New Girl would not exist and

that would be a great shame and

although it may not be too different

from her other roles Deschanel is still

superb.

BEST TV ENSEMBLE: THE B IG BANG THEORY

The Big Bang Theory cast has always

been great but over time all the cast

have grown up and become stars.

With the addition of Melissa Rauch

and Mayim Bialik the cast has

become one of the best on TV and

could even live up to the standards

set by 6 very special Friends.

BEST TV EPISODE: THE WALKING DEAD – BESIDE THE DYING F IRE

One of the most shocking episodes of

all time and was The Walking Dead at

it’s best. Sitting down expecting just

another episode who’d have suspected

to see a new baby and the deaths of

several of the show longest running

characters. One of best episodes of one

of the best half a season of TV ever!
