[Ultra Lantern]

I'll be watching it.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

I have it set to record on my DVR.

 

[Superhero 101]

I will record it

 

[Call Me Darkman]

Like everyone else, I'm recording it.

 

[Donut]

Weren't the winners already announced ? So why watch it ?

Yeah, the winners list is posted on the net if you look it up.

As for me, I'd watch it, but I wanna see Ringer sooooo maybe I'll see it one of the days they repeat it.

 

[flickchick85]

I will probably watch. Unlike the other fan-voted awards shows, this one actually features people/winners I like. I mean, where else can I geek out on Dr. Who, X-Men/Captain America, Let Me In, Darren Aronofsky and Game of Thrones all in the same place?

 

[Punisher Rising]

I'll be watching this.

I watched/skipped through this on my DVR last night. It was nothing but shameless promotion for fanboy movies, but it seemed very entertaining. And when the winners are Let Me In, Super 8, Game of Thrones and Harry Potter--and not a Twilight moment in sight--for a shameless PR-awards show, it was pretty well done.

Is that a problem? Fanboys and girls made up the audience, and that's who the awards show was for. I was pleased with the previews and clips they showed, even though some were very short.

 

[DarkSovereignty]

wow this show was like Carnivale meets comic con...I loved it t:.

 

[bullets]

It was good seeing Nicolas Cage getting an award for his craziness. Also I like how they edited those tribute videos. This was more fun to watch than the MTV Movie Awards and could be somewhat of a replacement.

 

[antsman41]

Their TDK trilogy intro was beyond awesome...

 

[DoomsdayApex]

Agreed. I just watched the acceptance speech.

Greatness!

Heh, my thoughts exactly. I enjoyed it. I got to see Let Me In, Doctor Who, Game of Thrones and Darren Aronofsky get some love (especially nice considering the year he's had), and I got to see Darth Vader say what we've all been thinking about George Lucas's digital "enhancements" to the originals...with George Lucas standing right there. And from a production standpoint, I appreciated some of the creativity in the sets. Not a bad show, shameless plug-riddled as it was.

Their TDK trilogy intro was beyond awesome...

Did you see the poster on the screen in the background? The one that was a mix of the Batman Begins, TDK and TDKR bat symbol? I can't believe they used that, it was fan made and posted on the Hype awhile back. That was pretty cool.

 

[Prison Mike]

What was the TDK trilogy intro?

 

[Figs]

What was the TDK trilogy intro?

They had sound clips from BB, TDK and TDKR in the background while JGL, Oldman and Hathaway were walking to the microphone.

 

[Punisher Rising]

I watched this last night and it was surprisingly entertaining to watch, if anything just for the cool-looking stage.

 

[Elevator Man]

The weakest one yet. Though I was never a fan of this awards show. Only checked it out to see who showed up and won. Also for the sneak peeks. The shameless plugs don't really bother me. Only the butt-kissing.

The Comic Con Icon award was a joke. No offense to her fans. Walking Dead was robbed of the Best TV Show Award, imo. They didn't bother showing the nominees for Best Comic Book Writer. Just told us the plot but not the titles or it's writers. People might be interested in those comics now b/c of them being nominated. RDJ's Hero Award just dealed his most recent films. None of his films from the past 25+ years. I guess it makes sense since IM and Sherlock Holmes are both heroes. But still... Didn't care for Pee Wee Herman receiving the Scream Visionary Award. The Most Anticipated Movie Award was very predictable. I knew TDKR was going to win this year after last years Scream Awards. Plus TDK won the same award back in '07. So I saw that win coming a year away. Or years away. I also love how every year the most anticipated movie nominees never has the one that wins listed. Funny thing is that that particular award was the highlight for me other than Vader receiving the Ultimate Villain Award. Lucas' Tuskegee Airmen got my interest as well. But other than that the show was meh.

 

[Marx]

I missed last night's show...

 

[Prison Mike]

They had sound clips from BB, TDK and TDKR in the background while JGL, Oldman and Hathaway were walking to the microphone.

Oh that. I was thinking there was some montage of BB, TDK, and TDKR trailer footage that was shown.

 

[DACrowe]

Well, here were the highlights:

-Cool, if Vegas-style cheesy, outdoor set with fire.
-Weird actors acting like a sexed up carnivale show in the background just doing their own thing randomly behind the show.
-The big winners were Super 8, Let Me In, Chloe Moretz, Matt Smith (DR. WHO!!! t: ), Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and Nicholas Cage.
-Quentin Tarantino's intro to Cage.
-Radcliffe accepting his award at Lincoln Center from Samuel L. Jackson.

It was entertaining if meaningless.

 

[Call Me Darkman]

I liked the heads that popped out of the water.
