Best Music:

Winner: Hanz Zimmer - The Dark Knight Rises
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.

Other Nominees:

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

Best Supporting Actress - Hero:

Winner:
Anne Hathaway - The Dark Knight Rises - Selina Kyle
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

Garfield's performance was weak. Watched The Amazing Spider-Man again last night only to find it to be much worse than my first viewing. There is not a redeemable thing about it, the action is lame, the acting is pathetic, the CGI looks (most of the time) terrible, and it's overlong. Definitely one of the worst comic-book movies I've ever had to endure. Plus, talk about a creepy ending when he breaks his promise to Capt. Stacy. I know that the two are destined to be together, but they should have kept them separate until the sequel where Electro, Rhino, Green Goblin and Mysterio (possibly) will be added to the mix.

Though I didn't like this movie at all, it does set-up what I hope will be Spider-Man's best outing yet because they have the main villain finally lined up, and not nowhere to be seen, in the Green Goblin. Can't wait to see how this sequel turns out, I'm expecting it to be much better than it's predecessor. Easily.

Yeah I agree with everything except best film. The avengers was the best film of the year.

I'm gonna host an awards thing like this starting this year: the semiannual 72 awards. I'll do awards for the summer films and then fall and January of next year ill compare the winners from each award.

Some unusual awards include:
Most badA character
Most interesting character
Best romantic chemistry

But I won't be the judge ill put them in the form of polls and let the users decide.

@thejon93rd: The acting pathetic? I found it to be the best acting seen in a comicbook movie from the cast as a whole. Andrew Garfield embodies Peter more than Tobey did (this is coming from someone who likes the original trilogy). From sheer speculation and personal opinion, Rhino is going to make TASM 2 the next Spider-Man 3. I'll admit the cgi was weak but, creepy ending and the action lame? The high school fight is the best fight ever seen in a Spider-Man movie. I think it felt overlong cause you weren't enjoying it somehow. I personally feel it goes by pretty quick. Even when I'm not paying attention.

But, that's just me.

Best Music: Howard Shore definitely. I loved all of the Dwarves songs. Definitely the most memorable of these movies here and one of the best parts of the Hobbit.

Best Supporting Actress: Scarlett Johannason owned the role. The scene with Loki's interrogation sold it for me(though Anne was a very close second)

Best Supporting Actor: Um...Ian Ian McKellen I guess but none of these really stood out for me.

Best Writing: Joss Whedon. Funny, epic, emotional at times, a true comic book brought to life.

Best Actor Hero: Chris Evans. He sold Captain America for me with all of his lines. He made me believe that he was both a man out of his time, and a true beacon of what we all could be. I HATED Garfield...he was not Parker. He was a good looking, athletic, vengeful, punk, asshole who had no issues stealing. Not what I'd call Peter Parker at all.

Best Villain: Silva. I loved his performance as a dark reflection of what Bond could be. I liked Loki a lot as well but Silva was new and different, we'd already seen Loki's excellence in Thor.

Best Film: The Avengers by far. Nothing like it had ever happened before, a true multi-film crossover, and they took a risk adapting it as a true comic book come to life. That risk paid off for them in spades.

@avengers
I am doing a public awards this Sunday.
@jon93rd
I thought Garfield was excellent. But, each man to their own, right.

@YipCha
Eh, Shore's music isn't epic enough for me... it all feels too... tribal, I guess.
Anne won it because she was the rock of the movie... she helped Bruce when he needed it... Johannason was great when we saw her, but we didn't see her enough, honestly.
Agree with writing.
I thought he was a little bland but, not like Thor, maybe I was only thinking about how boring Hemsworth's acting was in that movie.
Totally agree but, I thought Bane was slightly more lethal.
