And the winners are...

After taking a hiatus last semester, the cinetrix asked her students to list their nominees for the course's Oscar-esque awards. The candidates were all over the map, which I guess means the kiddies liked a lot of the stuff we saw. Or something.

Here are the winners, plus the nominees that most amused me.

That was a great list. You saved the best for last. "Between the little kid and the lady... jk." Some of those other honorable mentions were pretty funny, too. Paprika for Best Costume? Hilarious.
