2012 Imaginary Cinema Awards!

2012 was a year when several big movies disappointed (while still being pretty decent). So thank God for Joss Whedon and Katniss Everdeen! Here are the winners, and the runners up:

Best Movie: (TIE) The Avengers and The Cabin in the Woods. Non-Buffy fans worried at the beginning of the year about Avengers and thought that now would be a really good time for Whedon to get awesome. They didn't realise that's his secret - he's always awesome.
