JacobCrites 4977 Posted October 1, 2012 So, last month the thread where we were brainstorming possible categories for the HDTGM Awards (which we're calling either the Howdies or the Literallies--let's vote on that, too) completely lost steam. So now let's take all the suggestions we got and pick which ones we want to see featured on the show!  I feel like we should keep it to ten categories, not counting the obvious Worst Picture, Worst Actor, and Worst Acress awards.  THE RULES -Everyone has a total of 100 points to assign. So, you could just pick 10 nominees and each give them 10 points. Or since there's so many categories, you could divvy your points out more sparingly. Do whatever you like, but posts without 100 points assigned won't be counted.  -Only vote for movies that have been done on the show!  -Cast your vote for your pick of the name of the awards (either The Howdies or The Literallies)  -Cast your vote by October 16th (two weeks from tomorrow) so we can finalize the ten official categories. Remember, after this, we still need to nominate the films for each category!  THE CATEGORIES These are all the categories that were submitted by you all, and a brief description of what they are if they're not self-explanatory. There's a ton.  -Literally the Worst Sports Scene (this one was mentioned on the podcast)  -Literally the Worst Use of CGI ("Godzilla", "The Creepy Joker Smiles in Old Dogs, etc.)  Literally the Most Insane Screenplay (good-insane)  -Literally the Most Convoluted Screenplay (bad-insane. Read: Pluto Nash).   -Best Scene in a Bad Movie (A scene in a terrible movie that's actually well-executed, like the explosion in Absuction)  -Most Insane Bathroom Scene (Think about it. There's a lot. Leprechaun in the Hood, Old Dogs, All About Steve...I could go on)  -Most misogynistic depection of women.  -Most Mis-Cast Actor (for instance, Gary Oldman in Tiptoes)  -Biggest WTF? moment  -Biggest Plot Hole (Speed 2 seemed to have a ton of them)  -Worst Superhero movie  -Worst Slumming Actor (Worst case of a great actor taking a shitty role in a shitty movie for $$, vanity, etc.)  -Literally the most awkward sex scene (Burkesque anyone?)  -Best of the worst (best performer in a terrible movie)  -Best Use of Music  -Best Mega-Acting Freakout  -Worst Costumes  -Craziest Line in a Movie  -Best Death  -Most Unintentionally Incompetent Male Character (Willem DaFoe, Speed 2, for instance)  -Most Unintentionally Incompetent Female Character (Saundra Bullock, for either All About Steve or Speed 2)  -Best Villain  -Worst Villain  -Worst "Best Friend" Character  -Most Inexplicable Side Character (a character whose presense in the movie just makes no sense. Like the Psychologist from The Room, or the forest hippie from Birdemic)  -Best Main-Character-Versus Himself-Faceoff (Superman vs. Clark Kent against Eddie Murphie vs. Eddie Murphy in Pluto Nash)  -Most Inexplicable Celebrity Cameo  -The Jason Statham Award for Defying Death in an Action Movie  -Best Performance by a Hairpiece in a Nicolas Cage Film  -Worst Performance by an Academy Award-winning Actor/Actress  -Best Unintentional Comedy  -Worst Intentional Comedy  -Worst Adaptation (of a book, comic, TV show, remake, etc.)  -How Did I Get Through This "How Did It Get Made"? (most difficult film to sit through for the show)  -"Not the Bees!" (Best Animal Performance...other than the bees, because they've got that shit locked DOWN)  -Most Unbelievable Plot  -Worst Action Lead  -Worst Romantic Lead  Most amazingly bad affectation. (Things like accents, physical gestures, costumes... any unnecessary "thing" that an actor adds to a performance (Like Angelina Jolie's accent in "The Tourist"))  Best/Worst ADR  Most Questionable Search Engine Query. (Catwoman, Abduction, I Know Who Killed Me)  Least-PC Acting Choice (I'm thinking Gary Oldman playing a little person, Justin Bartha playing retarded, most of the characters in Crank, etc.)  "Nicholas Cage Lifetime Achievement Award" (can be given to the podcast's most prolific actor or actress of the following year.)  Most Un-interesting or Non-heroic Protagonist  Most Un-intersting or Non-threatening Antagonist  'Most heavy-handed (attempted) message'  Best "Talking to Computer As if it's a Human... And it Responds!"  Biggest Let Down! Movies that had serious hype and then pissed on your weekend!  The "How Did This Get Laid" Award: most irrelevant/awkward/disturbing sex scenes  The "How Did This Get Slayed" Award: most terrible death scenes (the crow-wing-throat-slash from Birdemic would be a mighty contender)  "How Did This Get Quaid?"---Most puzzling appearance by Dennis and/or Randy Quaid in a motion picture  Most blatant misuse of product placement. (Products that are unnecessary in a scene, but for the fact that a company paid for it to be there.)  Worst camera work / use of Dutch angles.  Best Endangerment of Faceless Civilians  Worst Romantic Chemistry  Most Unwanted Baby (The Back-Up Plan, The Smurfs, Twilight:Breaking Dawn, Tiptoes)  Best Use of Child Endangerment  Most Unbelievable Character Profession  ________________  Let's make this happen, guys!
