If I Were King of the Oscars… 2012

It’s time for my nominations! Hopefully, you’ve had a look at my top ten already. Now, it’s time for my favorites in every other category. I posted this last year, so even though the Oscars are long gone, I’m doing it again.  As usual, some of these the Academy got right, others not so much. Here is what my personal ballot for 2011 would look like. A lot of the same movies pop up, but I assure you, I honestly thought about what was best in each category. I didn’t just fill it out with my top 5 films, trust me.

Top 10 Trailers – 2011

Last week I shortlisted the year’s best posters, now it’s time for the trailers. For those who don’t know, creating trailers is literally my day job; so this is actually one of the more informed opinions on the internet (Kermit: Yayyyyyyy!). I’m a sucker for a good music cue, sharp editing, and anything that makes you want to see the damn picture. This list only covers movies released in 2011, so no The Dark Knight Rises here. This year, number one is so ridiculously obvious, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Top 20 Posters – 2011

[Editor's note: #1 might not be safe for work.]
Let the list making begin! As you might remember from my inaugural list, we here at Shooting the Script do not receive screeners or invites to advanced screenings. Therefore, our top 10 films of the year list doesn’t usually hit until March, once we’ve caught up with everything.

So, here are my favorite movie posters of the year instead. Once again, these are for films released in 2011 so The Dark Knight Rises will have to wait until next year. Quality of film matters not… just design. Here…we…go.
