Best Music:

Hanz Zimmer's beautiful and bombastic score went from the most bombastically epic of the year, to one of the most emotional and deep scores of the year.

Thomas Newman - Skyfall
James Horner - The Amazing Spider-Man
Alan Silvestri - The Avengers
Howard Shore - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Best Supporting Actress - Hero:

Anne's performance went from kickass (Scarlett Johannason, Olivia Thrilby), to emotional and caring (Emma Stone) giving a wonderfully kickass performance as Selina Kyle.
Other Nominees:
Scarlett Johannason - Natasha Romanoff
Olivia Trilby - Dredd - Cassandra Anderson
Emma Stone - The Amazing Spider-Man - Gwen Stacey
Judi Dench - Skyfall - M
Best Supporting Actor - Hero
Michael Caine - The Dark Knight Rises - Alfred Pennyworth
The best performance of the year. It was enough to bring grown men to cry. He gave a beautiful representation as Alfred Pennyworth. I don't know a single person who wasn't moved by his performance.
Other nominees
Ian McKellen - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Jason Gordon Levitt - The Dark Knight Rises
Gary Oldman - The Dark Knight Rises
Mark Ruffalo - The Avengers
Clark Gregg - The Avengers
Best Writing
Joss Whedon - The Avengers
A wonderfully scripted movie, with wonderful dialogue, hilarious moments, brilliantly written action, and characters who felt so out of this world they could be in it, Joss Whedon takes this category with ease.
Other Nominees:
Christopher Nolan - The Dark Knight Rises
John Logan, Neal Purvis , Robert Wade - Skyfall
James Vanderbilt - The Amazing Spider-Man
Guillermo del Toro, Peter Jackson - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Best Hero
Andrew Garfield - The Amazing Spider-Man - Peter Parker
Andrew gave a performance equal parts realistic, funny, brilliant, and heroic, something Tobey Maguire never did. He easily takes this category, as his performance was the single best part of the movie.
Other Nominees:
Christian Bale - The Dark Knight Rises - Bruce Wayne
Robert Downey Jr. - The Avengers - Tony Stark
Martin Freeman - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Daniel Craig - Skyfall - James Bond
Best Director
Joss Whedon - The Avengers
This is the best direction of the year, CBM or not. Joss Whedon should have gotten an Academy for this and Best Adapted Screenplay. He made a hilarious and epic movie through his great direction.
Other Nominees:
Christopher Nolan - The Dark Knight Rises
Sam Mendes - Skyfall
Pete Travis - Dredd
Peter Jackson - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Best Villian
Tom Hardy - The Dark Knight Rises - Bane
I had a huge battle choosing this one, between Bane, Loki, and Silva (Skyfall). But, I ended up choosing Bane. Why? Well, Tom Hardy gave a great performance for Bane which was considered for an Academy Award, and he did it without even showing his mouth.
Honorable Mention:
Tom Hiddleston - The Avengers - Loki
Javier Bardem - Skyfall - Silva
Other Nominees:
Rhys Ifans - The Amazing Spider-Man - Dr. Curtis Connors
Marion Cotillard - The Dark Knight Rises - Talia Al Ghul
Best Film
The Dark Knight Rises
Even though The Avengers had far superior writing and slightly better direction, TDKR came out on top, with way better acting and an amazing close to Christopher Nolan's brilliant trilogy.
Honorable Mention:
The Avengers
Skyfall
Other Nominees:
The Amazing Spider-Man
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Jouney
