The 2013 GP Movie Awards

Well, the Academy Award nominations have been announced. They're sort of underwhelming this year, so here is my alternative. Welcome to the First Annual Guilty Pleasures Movie Awards. Here are the nominees with the winners in bold. Feel free to agree or disagree in the comments below. I'm sure my choices have just as much potential for disappointment as that group of old white men's.

Before we go too far, let me point out that our poll for what you, our readers, would have nominated for Best Picture has concluded with the following ten nominees: Argo, Moonrise Kingdom, Zero Dark Thirty, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Master, Skyfall, Lincoln, and the overwhelming number of votes went to Les Miserables, which we can claim as our victor for the reader awards.

Now, it's my turn.
