2006
Just two more entries to go and then I can reveal the best fantasy movies of 2008. Take that, Oscars!
So 2006 was an interesting year. There were two movies made about a totalitarian Britain of the future (V for Vendetta was the more stylish but Children of Men was more subtle and emotionally satisfying), Pan's Labyrinth was one of the most disturbing fairytales ever and Snakes on a (muthafucking) Plane was everything I expected it to be.
Best Movie: Children of Men; Runners-up: Pan’s Labyrinth, V for Vendetta, The Prestige, Snakes on a Plane, Monster House, Superman Returns, Slither, The Hills Have Eyes
Best Screenplay: Alfonso Cuarón, Timothy J. Sexton, David Arata, Mark Fergus & Hawk Ostb (Children of Men)
Best Director: Guillermo del Torro (Pan’s Labyrinth)
Best Actor: Hugo Weaving (V for Vendetta); Runners-up: Clive Owen (Children of Men), Samuel L. Jackson (SOAP), Kevin Spacey (Superman Returns)
Best Actress: Natalie Portman (V for Vendetta); Runners-up: Julianne Moore (Children of Men), Ivana Baquero (Pan’s Labyrinth)
Best Music: Dario Marianelli (V for Vendetta)
Best Visual Effects: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest
Best Makeup: Pan’s Labyrinth
Biggest Disappointment: Cars. Pixar can normally do no wrong, but I don’t know what they were thinking making a family movie about a world where talking cars have apparently killed every human and animal and erased all trace of their existence.
