The First Annual Power Awards Nominations


It's no secret the nominations, awards, and everything about most award shows (other than the Golden Globes) are all completely pretentious. Nobody's favorite movies of 2013 were Philomena or Her. There was complete snubbery. Let's be real. I decided to take matters into my own hands and create my own awards for the blog. I considered doing my own versions of the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, etc, but I instead decided to combine them all into one to create more of a variety type awards program. Categories from all over will be involved in the first nominees for the Power Awards. Everything nominated comes from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013. This is strictly 2013. It's time to make awards fun again. (By the way, it was really hard to leave out Paul Giamatti, Colin Farrell, Chris Pratt, Jason Schwartzman, and James Franco from the Supporting Actor category. And to The Hangover Part III. Really sorry! All honorable mentions, though.) Also, I will only be nominating things I know I can accurately judge. Without further ado, the first annual Power Awards nominations:
