(Belated) Imaginary Cinema Awards 2016

So, somehow I forgot to post my pick of the best in sci-fi, fantasy and horror movies from 2016. Okay, it was a sucky year (personally, and politically) but I still need to give these movies a shout out.

Best Movie: Zootopia. Normally I don't include movies with anthropomorphic animals as fantasy, but this created such a vivid world, and had an important message to boot, that I'll allow it.
Runners-up: 10 Cloverfield Lane, Deadpool, Captain America: Civil War, Moana, Arrival, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, Star Wars: Rogue One, Star Trek Beyond, Dr. Strange, Kubo and the Two Strings, Ghostbusters, The Shallows.

Best Screenplay: Zootopia (Byron Howard & Jared Bush & Rich Moore & Josie Trinidad & Jim Reardon & Phil Johnston & Jennifer Lee - whew!)
Runners-up: 10 Cloverfield Lane (Josh Campbell & Matt Stuecken & Damien Chazelle), Deadpool (Rhett Reese & Paul Wernick)

Best Direction: Arrival (Denis Villeneuve) - I actually found the movie a little disappointing storywise, but the direction was impeccable.
