Seven years ago, Kevin created the Cosmique Movie Awards, a movie awards that blends the gravitas of the Academy Awards with the irreverence of the MTV Movie Awards.
The first year, all of the awards were for Lifetime Achievements, with any film from any year or era eligible. After that, most of the categories focus on films from the preceeding calendar year, but a handful of Lifetime Achievement categories are used to honor the best films, actors, and actresses of all time.
Many of the categories are serious, like Best Film, Best Actor, Best Drama. But some are a little different (Best Queer Film, Best Female Villain)) and some are downright silly (like Best Cameo, Sexiest Ensemble, and Actor's Character You Would Most Like to be Intimate With).
The awards are chosen by more than 50 eligible voters. The first round is harder -- voters must come up with up to five nominees in each category from any eligible film released during the previous calendar year. (This ends up being harder that one might think; many voters end up making lists of films they saw to be able to check against during the nominations.)
In past years, Kevin inevitably saw more films than any other voter (including a record 94 films in 2004, his glorious year of unemployment). But these days, Kevin's busy! He's only seen 13 theatrically-released films that were released in 2006 that reported box office returns, and another six films that we will also count. Those films are:
Adam & Steve; Another Gay Movie; Blood Diamond; Casino Royale; The Conrad Boys; The Da Vinci Code; The Devil Wears Prada; Dreamgirls; Eating Out 2; Follow My Voice: With the Music of Hedwig; Jackass: Number Two; The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green; Queer Duck: The Movie; Shortbus; Strangers with Candy; Superman Returns; Smalltown Gay Bar; and X-Men: The Last Stand
That leaves a lot of eligible 2006 films that Kevin hasn't seen. Two will definitely be seen soon; David owns John Tucker Must Die ad Kevin owns Pirates of the Caribbean 2, but neither have been watched yet. But of these 2006 films, which do you think Kevin should try to see before casting his nomination ballot:
