Thanks goes to Marshall Banana for the logo!

Since the year is coming to a close, I think it would fun to have an event showcasing what people loved about this year the most. The instructions are simple, just nominate once for each category below and send a private message to me with the title, "Best of '09 Nominations" before the deadline. Please be sure to include the name of the award and your nomination. For the Best Quote award, please include the quote and the person who said it. The only other rule is whatever you nominate must be from this year. If you're unsure if a game, movie, television show, etc. is not from this year, private message me and I will let you know or you can look that information up on IMDb -- otherwise it's fair game. You do not have to nominate for every category, but it's recommended you do so there's more to choose from in the voting phase.

Here are the categories:

Once again, please send in your nominations to me via private message with the appropriate title before Thursday, December 31st at midnight EST.

Nominated like a champ. :aimsun: Was kind of hard to think of stuff because I usually get games and watch movies a year later than everyone else!

I guess I will.

If I don't get enough noms by the deadline, I might extend the nomination period to give people more time. I realize it's hard thinking of stuff. I say might because I don't want to encourage people to wait later, but if you think of more you can always just send another PM with additions! :shiny:

I nominated for as many as I could. It's pretty difficult because I don't keep up with current stuff.

Nominated. I think I played far more old games than I did previously... I couldn't really do anything for 2009 stuff so I had to leave it out altogether. x_x; 2010 looks like it will be a much better year for gaming.

This is a good idea. Will try to nominate some time later.

I have a question, you say "Best Anime of 2009" but are we talking about things that have aired on TV in North America or series from the Japanese '09 seasons? Or both?

---

Could be both, or either or. It doesn't have to have aired in North America. Anything you nominate could come from various countries as long as it's from this year.

I think this might take me a little while xD It's hard for me to remember everything from all the way back at the start of '09!

I kept thinking of old things that I first saw this year. Still, got a good amount of nominations in.

Just as a side note, because this came up before, when nominating Best Album you can nominate an album with just one song on it i.e. a single album. Most often, singles are released on their own albums and if you like a particular song, you can nom the name of that album instead of the studio album. Make sense? I hope so.

Shall be doing this soon.

Also, what of Anime that were released in 09, but non on TV, and only as a DVD release?

You can nominate DVD or VHS releases in 2009. I doubt many things get released on VHS nowadays, but just putting that out there.

You know, I realized I payed so little attention to things like that this year, Anime is probably the only thing I'm qualified to nominate anything for...

Deadline is now extended to Monday, January 4th at 11:59pm EST. Keep those nominations comin' folks!

The nomination period is closed for all except this award: Best Song which I am adding in at the last minute. One of the largest amount of nominations was for Best WTF is That Moment. For those who nominated, thanks for all the great choices! :shiny:

For those that already nominated Best Song, I have it down. Please be sure to include the name of the band/singer that plays the song -- not just the title.

The voting phase will begin after I receive enough noms for Best Song or Wednesday, January 7th.

I wish I had seen this earlier. Silly me.

I'd nominate for best song but I suspect I'm the only person on this entire forum that listens to either black metal or zeuhl so that pretty much rules out any chances of anything I would nominate for Best Song winning.

Nominations closed. Voting now open!

IMDB says it's 40% live action, 60% CG. There's quite a few scenes where it's obvious it was achieved with practical effects and real actors, though the mixture of the two is really impressive.

:(

Guess I was wrong!

Otherwise known as the boring scenes.

EDIT: Had to get rid of Roman Bellic because I just realized GTA IV was 08 and not 09 despite all the spin offs. Luckily, I don't think anyone voted for him yet, so that's cool.

b-but, michael crichton is dead!

So is Michael Jackson, but that's irrelevant because they both had stuff that came out in 2009.

Voted. =]

The Hero is the deepest video game character in the industry.

Manga was the category I knew about. Beelzebub is awesome and everyone should read it.

So, do I have to vote in every category?

Nope. I didn't. :p

Neither did I.

I would like to get some more votes! Thinking of putting the results up this weekend, so for those who haven't voted or would like to enter in more votes, please do so before then.

Voting is now closed! I will be putting up the results to the Anime/Manga section shortly. Until then, here's what didn't get any votes at all:

*Cryostasis
*Drake
*Eden of East
*Everyone randomly leaving EoFF Staff
*Joe Jonas Dances to Single Ladies
*Kenny vs. Spenny
*Kid Cudi
*Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson
*Monster
*Ponyo

Poor, poor Shakira.

Best Anime

When I think of Anime, I think of something really cool with explosions, fights and a great soundtrack. Instead I get this...

Winner: Hetalia: Axis Powers

Best Character

Quote:

Admit it, cute things are hard to resist and they're even harder to resist when they're pint sized. For those who didn't want to vote for Chibi, it's okay. I understand that you just wanted to keep your masculinity intact.

Winner: Chibi Italia from Hetalia: Axis Powers

Best Manga

Quote:

I figured you guys would vote for the lesbian one. I had a hard time finding any appropriate pictures to show on here since most of them are X-rated girl on girl action. It's like Girls Gone Wild, but then animated.

Winner: Maka Maka

To catch them is my real test. To train them is my caaaause.

Ahem. Game section coming up!

I will travel across the land, Searching far and wide

It makes me sad that even had I voted, Monster still would have gotten only one vote. :cry:

Let me know when we get to the relevant categories.

Best Action/Adventure

Quote:

---

Arguably this year has been a great year in terms of action/adventure games. We had Batman: Arkum Asylum, GTA IV spin offs, Assassin's Creed II and those other ones. These types of games allow us to pretend that we kick ass. It's a great escape if you will; especially if you work a desk job like my man in Office Space. XPlay announced the following winner to be the Game of the Year. Heh, chyeah. Adam Sessler thinks it's the cat's pajamas, so I guess that's cool.

http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation...ts/image_1.jpg

Winner: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

---

Best First Person Shooter

Quote:

---

I can't think of a game I'd want to play more than the winner of Best FPS. I mean, you get to teabag people, grenade them from the grave, shoot them repeatedly after they've asked you 500 times if you're a girl. I mean, what could be better than that?

http://www.teamteabag.com/wp-content...91-500x312.jpg

Winner: Halo 3: ODST

---

Best RPG

Quote:

---

If your name is Baloki then your idea of role-playing probably involves dressing up in a kitten costume and parading about the house. If you're not Baloki then you probably voted for Dragon Age. This won by an overwhelming amount. Of course, this is no surprise. When you put dragons, swords, and topless girls in things people eat it up.

http://gamernode.com/upload/manager/...1255480865.jpg

Winner: Dragon Age: Origins

Best Video Game Character

Quote:

---

When we look back on the iconic vidya game characters we can pay tribute to greats like Sonic, Mario, and Chun Li's thighs. This decade has sparked a plethora of new characters as well as bringing back some old ones, but enough about that. 2009 was the year of badass characters like Yusuf Amir who loves to go on crazy ass missions that make entirely no sense whatsoever, but are still amazing. He's gettin' Arab money.

http://www.astromono.com/wp-content/...9/10/yusuf.jpg

Winner: Yusuf Amir from GTA IV: Ballad of Gay Tony

---

I sorta figured Maka Maka would win the manga just 'cause not that many people here seem to actively read anything and that's what was getting linked around in chat a few weeks ago!

I have to admit that all the voting I did for the games was based on what I've read since I haven't played anything new from 2009 >.> I think the newest game I've played recently was Left 4 Dead 1. That's what I get for being a cheap gamer xD

If I get a PS3, Uncharted & Uncharted 2 will be high on my list of games to get with it.

obligatory post whining about poor taste (ps which of you idiots voted for Uncharted over Arkham Asylum, AC2, or either GTA)

what do you mean i should have voted

A-RAB MONEY

WE GETTIN' A-RAB MONEY

Yusuf Amir is not the best game character of the year. He is the best game character of the forever.

Yusuf Amir makes me want to make a website dedicated to awesome examples of A-rab Money, like the Burj Khalifa.

I have never played any of the games or seen any of the animes that have won so far. Hopefully something I am interested in actually wins something!

Best Internet Personality

Quote:

---

Over the past decade we have been greeted by various types of personalities like Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka and Chris Crocker. Among the more lovable ones is a man that comes from Eyes on FF. His name is Joel Holmes a.k.a. The Bastard Gamer. We've watched him rant about Sundays, video games and YouTube. We've watched him devour an entire cake in front of us and possibly even vomited at the sight of it. Regardless of what he's doing, we love it. So Joel, wherever you are, this one's for you.

http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c1...s/bgamer-1.jpg

Winner: Joel Holmes, The Bastard Gamer

Best Viral Video

Quote:

---

The words best and viral don't exactly seem to coincide. It's like an oxymoron. I mean, it's like saying what's your favorite bacteria virus, e. coli or staphylococcus? Yet, when you add video the meaning immediately changes to something amazing. With the dawn of mass streaming and uploading sites, people were blessed by quite possibly the best the internet has to offer; the viral videos. One of the most popular ones of the year, The JK Wedding Entrance Dance was featured on the Today Show, Dancing With the Stars and other crap. The couple even made money off of it which they donated to charity (or so they say).

http://celebrity.exilez.com/wp-conte...l-Peterson.jpg

Winner: JK Wedding Entrance Dance

Best Website

Quote:

---

One could say that the best website could be judged by the amount of memes it creates, the people who visit, the controversy it stirs and the hate mail the admins receive. Whether you go online to check your email or come here on EoFF, you've probably at one point in time loss brains cells by going on YouTube. This site has become one of the most renown sites in the history of the internet; which is actually a relatively short history in case you're wondering. You know a site is popular when even your grandmother is saying, "Let's watch that thing on YouLube." "No...grandma...YouTube."

http://thenextweb.com/wp-content/upl...utube-logo.jpg

Winner: YouTube

---

Just where can I find Joel's stuff anyway? I'm out of that loop.

On the best website, YouTube.

I just had a dream about Joel. He came into my house, raided my fridge ate some of my food and I tried being nice to him but he just kept insulting me. Also I think Raistlin was there and said "Joel owned you! Wait 'til I tell everyone!" and I had to chase these two assholes out of my house with a broom.

Best Author

Quote:

---

It takes a really good author to write something that people actually want to read especially when the majority of people hate reading anything above the second grade level; hence why Twilight is so popular. Mr. Burroughs was able to do just that and more with acclaimed works such as Running With Scissors: A Memoir and You Better Not Cry: Stories for Christmas. Plus he's bald and bald dudes are usually pretty cool. Ving Rhames, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel...okay maybe not the last one.

Winner: Augusten Burroughs

Best Book to Get Someone You Hate

Do I even have to say it? You guys probably knew who was going to win this one before I even posted the nominations. If I can say anything I will say this, you know a book is bad when you have people who are barely literate and barely competent in the English language waiting on line to buy it.

Best Novel

Quote:

Admittedly I haven't read the winner of this award. However, after taking a gander at the raunchy cover below and seeing how many people voted for it, I can say that You Better Not Cry must be pretty damn good. I will leave you with an excerpt: "My name is Augusten and I like writing about myself." Okay, that's not really an excerpt, but it's true.

The Twilight woman was robbed. :colbert:

I see putting up the results is going to take all week. The more you guys [strike]spam[/strike] post the quicker these results will go! :monster:

Award Shiny indeed. :colbert:

I still kinda wish I would've made that mashup of Joel and the Fatman videos. My conscience kept me from doing something so terribly mean, but man... it would've been hilarious.

Best Hook-Up

Quote:

Who would have thought that a dorky golfer could be such a mack? Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months you've no doubt heard about Tiger Woods and all of his escapades. Whether you care or not remains to be seen. I know I don't, but then again I hate golf. Here's to you Tiger Woods and #1, #2, #3, etc. Play on playa!

http://www.ingolfwetrust.com/golf-ce...woods-pimp.jpg

Winner: Tiger Woods and 15+ women

Best Meltdown

Quote:

---

Now, admittedly Bale is a good actor, but amazing acting could not save him from the horrors of sound production. As it turns out, one of the boom operators recorded Bale freaking out on the Director of Photography about lights. People were amused and some were outraged. They're light lovers you see. The freak-out became so popular that the music version of his meltdown was featured on the news right before they announced that everyone will die of Cancer.

Winner: Christian Bale on the set of
Terminator Salvation

Best Quote

Quote:

---

If I had fingers for the amount times Kanye said something douchey I'd be some sort of a mutant thing because I'd have entirely too many fingers. His behavior during the VMA's even surpassed another WTF Moment of that night; that is Lil Mama randomly getting on stage with Jay Z and Alicia Keys while they were performing a song Lil Mama had nothing to do with. We know Kanye, you worked with Jay Z on a song, but you don't have to kiss his wifey's ass. If people can learn anything from Kanye's words it is to not drink right before an award ceremony and don't prance on stage with a haircut worse than a Sisqo doo trying to tell somebody they shouldn't have won. Whew, that was a mouth full.

Winner: “Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you

Best WTF Was That Moment

Quote:

---

The death of an icon. You may remember where you were when you heard that Michael Jackson had died. I was in my room and it took me a while to even believe that this was true. It's one of those moments where few who grew up listening to him on a daily basis like I did will forget. He touched the hearts of many through song in a way that many musicians could/cannot. Although there was a lot of controversy surrounding him; regardless of what he did he was still undeniably talented and ingenious. It's because of him that so many musicians who are popular today are going. It's because of him that we have such lyrics like, "Your butt is mine." Truly amazing. He will be missed.

http://cdn.picapp.com/ftp/Images/c/4...mageId=5327441

Winner: Michael Jackson dying

Maybe MJ isn't really dead. I mean, how do we know for sure?

How do we know he didn't die years ago? HMMM?

I still think MJ's gonna come back as a zombie and perform Thriller live.

I think he already was a zombie and just fell apart.

The stuff with Tiger has just been so crazy. It was such a slow trickle of details initiated by "Tiger Woods was in a crash" where each part just became stranger and stranger. I kinda feel bad for all involved, but it is kind of an epic story when you think about all of the craziness to it.

what's the latest? I haven't kept up with it

- Tiger gets into a crash.
- Crash is suspicious, seemingly self-inflicted, but he doesn't want it investigated.
- It turns out he crashed his car because his wife was beating him with a golf club.
- His wife was beating him with a golf club because he cheated on her.
- Since the initial reveal that she cheated on him, there's been like, a hojillion women come out and say that he's slept with them.

I think that's kinda where it's been for a few weeks. It was just such a strange series of events.

oh, you made it sound like there was more to it xD

Best Animated Film

Quote:

Unfortunately I haven't watched Up yet because the bootlegger gave me a crap copy. Jermaine/Sheneyney/Shaquifa/who ever kept getting up for a potty break. Malik also kept talking during the entire thing. For that reason, I can't give this a proper speech/review, but I will say this, the concept of a little old man flying around on balloons is adorable. Tavrobel would be proud.

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image..._466x300ap.jpg

Winner: Up

Best Comedic Film

Quote:

---

What's the key to geting a successful comedic film under your boot? Well, cast three guys and one extremely creepy guy with a fairly unpronounceable last name. Step two: Have the setting be Las Vegas. Step three: Give them booze and a chicken. Step four: Introduce extreme plot conflict that is, "Omg wtf happened to the guy who is getting married in like 3 seconds?!" Step five: Kidnap a tiger. Step six: Let Mike Tyson knock out one of the actors. Step seven: Cops suck. Steal their squad car for your movie prop and then have the actors steal it in the film. Step eight: Stuff a naked and vulgar Asian man in the trunk of a car. Final step: Watch your film sky rocket to success.

http://paulbucelwicz.com/blog/wp-con...s_-500x332.jpg

Winner: The Hangover

---

Best Dramatic Film

Quote:

---

When I think of dramatic I think of Meryl Streep, but she isn't in this. That would be weird. The casting was incredibly perfect for such a violent film, but wasn't as violent as some of Tarantino's other films. Still, who cares?! Hitler gets killed. There, I spoiled it for you. No I didn't. Of course he gets killed! I will stop having a discussion with myself now.

http://static.blogcritics.org/09/08/...Hans-Landa.jpg

Winner: Inglourious Basterds

Best Horror Film

Quote:

---

Okay, I haven't seen this one either, but for some reason people are always scared by things with demons in it. See: The Exorcist. The hype around this film was extreme and according to the votes, it lived up to the hype. So congrats PA for some how winning over the terrifying film, Jonas Brothers: 3D Concert experience.

Good set of winners for film. I'm glad that bitch Avatar didn't run away with it.

I'm also happy to see my Tiger Woods nomination won! I wonder if anyone else nominated it.

I haven't seen Up or Paranormal Activity but I really wanna watch both. It's just hard for me to track down someone to watch super scary movies with :(

The other two were well-deserving of their wins, though. The Hangover definitely came out of nowhere to be the funniest movie of the year for me, and Inglorious Basterds was just awesome. Tarantino's still got it.

I am glad to see Stephenie Meyer didn't win best author.

That is all.

I was slightly drunk when I went to see Paranormal Activity. I didn't really like it.

Star Trek and Jonas Brothers were robbed.

It will be time for the 2010 awards by the time these revelations are done.

A girl at work told me Paranormal Activity is bad. Yet EoFF says it is good. I don't know who to believe!

a girl you work with is a brit ergo was drunk when she saw it which syncs perfectly to jowy's testimony that it's bad when drunk. So see it sober.

No one will admit IRL that they enjoyed a horror film as anything but a comedy!

In that case, Drag Me to Hell should have won. That movie was hilarious!

Oh hi, you thought I was gonna post the next results didn't you? /smug

Bish, I cut you!

Note: Doing a part one of this since this is a bit longer than the other categories and also to add suspense. :jess:

Best Album

Quote:

When you give a guy with a puppy dog face and a soft voice a microphone what do you get? You get hordes of women throwing their panties on the stage and an award for being the best album of the year. The vocalist's dreamy lyrics and velvety soft voice is something few people can resist -- or at least few members of this site can. Go ahead, you know you want him to sign your boob.

Winner: Ocean Eyes by Owl City

Best Rapper

Quote:

---

Jay's got 99 problems, but a bitch ain't one. Winning awards for him also doesn't seem to be a problem. Ever since the release of his first Blueprint album, people have been calling him the King of Hip Hop. He is also the self-proclaimed Best Rapper alive. It's no wonder why people have been thinking of him in the same light for years now. He sells out albums, he sells out concerts, and has the hottest chick in the game wearing his chain. I'd be damn if this wasn't the best past five years for him. H.O.V.A.!

Winner: Jay-Z

Best Band

Quote:

---

To think, ten years ago they used to be a credible band punching out beats with an underground vibe. After getting rid of their old singer, they just aren't the same anymore. Now they've become more generic and popish. And with that "selling out" they've also become more popular. With all their singles hitting to the top of the Billboard for the past three or so years, it's no wonder why they are considered one of the biggest bands out there right now. They're unique, they're sellouts, and we love 'em even when we hate 'em because that make sense...maybe.

Winner: Black Eyed Peas

...Jay-Z? Black Eyed Peas?

Okay you know what, I am going to listen to girls at work more than I am going to listen to you guys.

Best Song

Quote:

---

I had a special thing planned for this award. I was going to ask a bunch of people if they'd like to sing this song. The way it would go: one person sings just one line from the song and then the next sings a line and so on until the song was complete. Then I would I mesh it together in Pro Tools with the beat and err thang. Unfortunately, I didn't have much time this month or last to get that done, but I think this would still be cool to do! What do you guys think? /notreallyaspeech

Winner: "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga

Best Solo Artist

Quote:

The lone ranger is something that people can respect. These are people that have the gall to stand up on stage in front of thousands -- if not millions of people and sing their hearts out all by themselves. If there is one person who did this best, it was Michael Jackson. All the man had to do was grab his crotch, rip his t-shirt, and go, "Ohhh" and people would eat it up. It just goes to show you that even in death he is bad, dangerous, and invincible.

Winner: Michael Jackson

Uuuuuurrrrrrrrgh none I wanted to win. It's like I'm watching an awards show.

Wait.

Huxley loves to sing and dance to Lady Gaga, especially Paparazzi. I had a whole playlist for Lady Gaga in my iPod for him when we had my car to connect it to. xD

Good lord those music winners are worse than your average Brit Award or Grammy winners.

Hahaha I have a friend that has a major lezzy crush on Lady Gaga and puts up videos of her singing her songs on youtube xD

You know, I'd agree with you, only the girls at my work would probably go along with these people.

Best Comedy Series

Quote:

When you mix vulgar gross-out comedy in with parody what do you get? You get a show that has withstood the test of time and constroversy. The writers, Tyler Parker and Matt Stone are not shy of stirring up the pot. They're pretty much the kings of making fun of celebrities, movies, politicians, Walmart, Barbara Streisand, Canadians, and anything else they can get their hands on. But perhaps, the most popular episode of 2009 was the Kanye West one featuring an auto-tune song about gay fish and slapping Marlin ass. Yeah, I dunno either....

Winner: South Park

Best Drama Series

Quote:

Since the kick off of Season Four in 2009, there's been more buzz than usual surrounding the show, Dexter, about a self-righteous serial killer that kills well, other killers. The arrival of supporting actor, John Lithgow could have something to do with it. He stars as a seemingly cordial family man at day and a deranged serial killer at night. Sound familiar?

Winner: Dexter

Best Game Show

Quote:

---

Deal or No Deal took it's cue from successful game shows like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Weakest Link by [strike]stealing[/strike] borrowing the premise from another country. In this case, they borrowed from the Dutch. The show features 25 or so female models holding cases with numbers on them. In one of these cases is usually a millionaire dollars -- though sometimes it's more. A person has to choose a case and hope that it's worth more than a penny. Then Howie Ball Head usually calls on his silly prop phone and speaks to a non-existent banker which offers contestants an amount of money to leave. They can either choose to take it, or be ballsy and play a game of pure luck and guess.

South Park and Dexter are both very worthy winners.

Owl City is smurfing terrible. Anyone who thinks overusing autotune as much as he does is a good idea deserves to be dragged into the street and shot.

Owl city is awesome! Anyone who thinks otherwise "deserves to be dragged into the street and shot".

Excuuuuuuuuuse me for having taste. Using computers in place of actual singing ability offends my ears.

I agree with The Man. This is why I despise Lil Wayne and other musicians who overuse auto-tune.

While I'd hate to live in a world where everyone or even a majority used autotune, I don't see the harm in its niched usage! It creates a specific sound which is quite pleasant in certain compositions. Much the same way that you find some movies are made much better by their special effects, which doesn't mean you want all movies to rely on special effects.

Moderate use of autotune on occasional tracks as a counterpoint to natural singing isn't terrible, but Owl City uses it on every song on virtually all of his vocals. Way too much.

But autotune is funny!
