This is the thread where we discuss matters pertaining to the detrius that accompanies the "End of the Year in Cinema" -- 2012

I have a different award in mind than cryptosicko and possibly Eric

Oh no, I want him to at least get nominated for that one too.

I'm lost; does this award start with a "gr" (and isn't for music)?

whatever award Dirk Diggler won.

btw re DGA to Affleck, wtf is wrong with people?

Deakins wins ASC for Skyfall

Another year for Snidey McSnides to snipe that MTV had better taste than Oscars/GGs/crixes, et al.

phew i can finally draw a line under 2012 thanks mtv

Also what trails has Emma Watson blazed?

I suspect that this is what a list of "MTV Movie Awards" winners *should* look like, but I've never felt more my age than I have just now.

LOL, I didn't even realize every single LOTR movie won. Twilight came up one half-movie short.
