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. :lol:

Hmmm, I had to vote Star Wars for best movie, just because... But I liked King Kong's special effects, and I really liked the fight scene.

Wow, it feels like the '05 Spaceys were only a couple months ago.

War of the worlds was kind of dissapointing...but King Kong was great. Really, really great. In my opinion anyway...

I regret that I spent most of last year in Iraq, so I missed most of these. Although, I did see Batman Begins while on the flight back to the Sandbox from Holland (Complete with Dutch subtitles!) Definitely threw the original orgins story as portrayed in the first post-Adam West Batman movie in the trash.

 

Also saw the remake of War of the Worlds. While technically accurate to the original work, other than starting out in New Jersey and ending in Boston, it was missing a lot of the "coolness" and human drama that even the original, 1954 version has.

 

When it comes to remakes, I generally say "Friends don't let friends watch remakes. Unless it's the new Battlestar or Area 88 (anime)."
