Hosted by Empire's Chris Hewitt and Lauren Laverne, the Jameson Empire Awards 2012 (which took place earlier today at London's Grosvenor House Hotel) have seen comic book movies and their stars triumph.

Rooney Mara deserved Best Actress. She IS Lisbeth Salander.

@Catwoman1 Rooney Mara isn't Lisbeth Salander. Noomi Rapace IS Lisbeth Salander

@axelbratoski I disagree, I was one of these people who hated the idea of the remake and Rooney Mara's casting. But watching her play Lisbeth was mind blowing, Noomi was amazing and brilliant. But Mara was phenomenal. Oscar worthy.

i thought rise of the planet of the apes & source code were the best sci-fi films of last year,also drive was my favorite film of last year but it doesn't seem to be winning anything that i believe it deserves.

well done tom & gary.

Thor was not a better fantasy/science fiction film than Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Sorry, but that's just how i feel.

Agreed Thor was not as good as apes or FC, it was an okay movie...

capcyclopsftw - 3/25/2012, 1:09 PM
Thor was NOT better than Captain America or Planet of the Apes or X-Men FC. Thor started out great but once he landed on Earth, nothing really happened. Kind of a boring movie once he gets to Earth.

Wow props to Thor, the earth stuff was so-so but man The asgardian stuff was amazing!
jazzman

@capcyclopsftw

i mean it was not the best on that list.

Captain America problem is for a WW2 movie it sort of shy away from been set during the WW2.

X-Men FC is a good movie but fall apart from adding characters imo should not be in the movie if they not using them properly.

jazzman - 3/25/2012, 1:35 PM
@ckal

agree. Cap set during the WW2 but they should of had Cap fighting the Nazi aswell HYDRA.

Hiddleston really deserved this one.
He's the best villain I've ever seen on screen.

Rooney Mara should've won best actress, she completely transformed herself for, and allowed herself to be consumed within, the role of Lisabeth Salander. Mind-blowing performance, one of the best I've seen in a VERY long time.

Apart from that, I can pretty much see how most of these won

@ plain

you're entitled to think what you like about thor,but if you think thor is a piece of shit how would you rate the following.

-ghost rider 2
-ghost rider
-elektra
-howard the duck
-daredevil
-spider-man 3
-x-men 3
-x-men origins wolverine
-green lantern
-jonah hex
-catwoman
-superman 3
-superman 4
-batman forever
-batman & robin

the list above are all far worse than thor,so how much worse than a piece of shit are they.

I agree with Tom Hiddleston as best male newcomer. His performance as Loki was one of the better villain portrayals in a CBM. He was very convincing.

That's very cool that Thor won best Sci-Fi/Fantasy film. Personally, I would've picked Captain America. Still cool though.

@marvel72 I thought Drive was very good. I didn't expect it be so violent. I liked that even though it was set in present day, it had a 80's style to it.

I thought this fan art was awesome:
