Best of '09 - Revelations

[NeoCracker]

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...

[Shiny]

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

[Shiny]

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.

[The Man]

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.

Just FYI, Avatar was entirelty CG animated, there isn't a single frame shot with a real camera there.

* Avatar (Mostly CGI Animated)

Just FYI, Avatar was entirelty CG animated, there isn't a single frame shot with a real camera there.

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.

[rubah]

b-but, michael crichton is dead!

[Shiny]

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