2006 Spacey Awards

Hitchhiker · **Mon Mar 27, 2006 9:19 pm 2006 Spacey Awards**

That's right, the 2006 Spacey Awards are here! Vote for the best in science fiction and fantasy.

My picks:

Favourite Movie: Serenity
Favourite TV Show: Battlestar Galactica
Favourite TV Ensemble Cast: Stargate SG-1
Favourite New TV Character: Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell
Favourite FX: Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

(I didn't vote for either Favourite Video Game or Favourite Action Sequence because I saw none of the games/movies nominated.)

Choosing my favourite TV show, in particular, was tough, since Battlestar Galactica, Stargate SG-1, and Doctor Who were all nominated. Eventually I chose BSG, however, since although I find SG-1 enjoyable, BSG is just . . . awesome. I chose SG-1 for ensemble cast partly because I hadn't voted for them as best TV show, but also because I like SG-1's cast a lot.

It was either Mitchell or Vala for this one, since I don't watch Lost and Milton Fine (aka Brainiac) isn't, in my mind, my favourite new TV character. I chose Mitchell because he's a nice new thread that joins the rest of the SG-1 team together now that RDA has gone.

So . . . go vote. Go now.

Favorite Movie: Star Wars Episode III
Favourite TV Show: Battlestar Galactica

-Movie: Serenity

RM: Revenge of the Sith? Come on! You KNOW it was an awful movie.

Republican_Man · **Mon Mar 27, 2006 9:37 pm**

Would you cut it out? I love Star Wars and I love Episode III. How many times do I have to tell you? How many times do you have to say that to understand? It is either my favorite or second favorite movie, either before or after Return of the Jedi. It's an awesome move--a fantastic movie. It deserves all the Spacey awards it can get

(I do mean it, though. Please stop. I'm getting really tired of it.)

It won a Raz award. It can't get much worse,

Republican_Man · **Tue Mar 28, 2006 6:43 pm**

What's a Raz award? If it means that it's a horrible movie, those people don't know what they're talking about.
Star Wars Episode III = BEST MOVIE EVER!

IntrepidIsMe · **Tue Mar 28, 2006 6:56 pm**

It's like the opposite of the Oscars. Star Wars: Episode III won worst supporting actor (Hayden Christiensen).

There is no competition with fav TV show.... Battlestar Galactica wins easily.

La Forge · **Wed Mar 29, 2006 4:42 pm**

RM...I can understand that you like Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. It was a great movie. You guys should stop picking on him for that (I don't remember who it was...heh...). HOWEVER...How on EARTH can you like one of the prequels over the originals? Are you out of your mind!?! The prequels are like the crap of the originals! They are still bloody awesome movies, but compare them to the originals...and...it is...no.

I'll post my votes in a bit.

More so II. I hate II. III is pretty darn good. My favorite would be V. The Hoth snow battle has stayed with me to this day...I love that scene!

WeAz · **Wed Mar 29, 2006 8:39 pm**

RM, i'll stop. But I maintain that ALL THREE PREQUELS WERE AWFUL!!
Now I've gotten it out of my system.
One more thing. Why are you posting in a Star Trek forum?

(How did ROTS even get nominated?)

Like the Matrix sequals, no one actually says WHY the movies are bad. Thus, their validity on the matter doesn't hold much weight.

It also doesn't matter if Episode III won a billion Razzie awards. In this case, it was only nominated for one Razzie award and it was because people disliked Hayden. How about the other awards it was nominated for eh? Academy Awards, Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films, Awards of the Japanese Academy, Costume Designers Guild Awards, Empire Awards, Grammy Awards, Mainichi Film Concours, Motion Picture Sound Editors, People's Choice Awards, Satellite Awards, Teen Choice Awards, and Visual Effects Society Awards. Not to mention, it was a box office hit.

IntrepidIsMe · **Wed Mar 29, 2006 10:28 pm**

People didn't understand Star Wars?

It really isn't that deep. You have the bad guys and the good guys. There isn't much beyond that. I'm not sure about hating on Christensen, either. What would be the point of nominating people you don't like, afterall they only get recognition in the end. Halle Barry won one last year, and everybody thinks she's an amazing actress.

Anyway, I voted for:
Movie: Sin City (I didn't care for this moive, and was nearly my least favorite out of those nominated, but it was definitely the best film)
TV Show: BSG
Cast: SG-1
New Character: Vala
Video Game: (Didn't vote, since I don't do video games)
Action Sequence: Anakin (...) vs Obi Wan
FX: King Kong

What I meant was that a lot of people didn't like the way he acted in the Prequal Trilogy. Thus, the Razzie. BUT, like you pointed out, it only made more people notice him. Thus the comment of the SW haters not being too...smart?

Reading too much into it? Not really. You keep posting that it's simplistic but it isn't. First of all, you keep explaining the ORIGINAL trilogy. Luke and the Rebellion only made cameos in the PREQUEL trilogy at best. I already said that the OT WAS black and white, simplistic. But the PT? No it isn't. Its much more grey and people didn't like that. It wasn't about Anakin is evil, the end. Its about the influences on Anakin's life that facilitated his choice in turning into the dark side. His mother's death, vision's of Padme's death, the Jedi looking down on him, being forced to carry the mantle of Chosen One, and Palpatine whispering notions of power in his ear. He becomes conflicted. Amidst all of this, a civil war is going on that is tearing the republic apart and Palpatine is stacking the deck, playing both sides. Its tragic in the sense that Anakin didn't have to turn out the way he did. All he wanted was to be with Padme and live happily, he become so conflicted that he began to seek out power to protect them. It wasn't needed and he end up helping to cause her ultimate demise. Anakin was beaten and "killed" by his "brother" and became a monstrous cyborg with virtually no soul left. It takes the love of his son to save him from Palpatin's hold on him. Together they finally do what Anakin was meant to do so long ago.
All of that I explained was Anakin's story. I didn't even get into the tragedy of the fall of the Republic or the Jedi Order, Padme's death, Luke and Leia's tumultous life, etc.

Now you might say "All of that is dumb. I don't like it." Well thats not a valid reason for saying "SW sucks!". Thats just you not liking the overrall story itself.

Republican_Man · **Wed Mar 29, 2006 10:53 pm**

What? Founder, I'm shocked. I see the Original Trilogy as having far more levels than the Prequel Trilogy. It's got good versus evil, yes, but it's full of religious overtones and redemption and all sorts of things. I see what your saying on how the Prequel Trilogy isn't simplistic, and I agree, but the OT is a lot more complex than the Prequel Trilogy. I mean, come on.
Actually, perhaps it's just all mushed together, not presiding predominantly over one specific trilogy, but rather the film saga as a whole.

Founder · **Wed Mar 29, 2006 11:25 pm**

Um not really. The OT isn't REALLY simplistic but against the PT? Yes, yes it is. By a LOT. Mainly when it comes to politics. The OT was just Empire=evil, Rebels=good. Nothing more.

As good a discussion as this is, I think that HH's intentions for this topic was not to debate Star Wars....

We're really off topic.

Republican_Man · **Wed Mar 29, 2006 11:28 pm**

lol, yes we are. I suppose a topic on this should be created, however, as I still disagree.
But yeah. SWIII should win in all the divisions it is nominated for

WeAz · **Thu Mar 30, 2006 7:06 pm**

Republican_Man · **Thu Mar 30, 2006 7:20 pm**

I'm not much. SW is my favorite, but Trek is up there too.
But then, as Founder said, this topic isn't about that, so...
I think Battlestar Galactica should definitely win the TV show award. It is a really good show. I've watched a few episodes and it deserves it.
