One Year Awards 2016

oyw16Ladies and gentlemen,

Once again, it is my sacred duty to hand out end-of-year honors to the most and least deserving movies and performers among us. I’ve changed the name of these awards to go along with all the rebranding I did at the beginning of the year – from now on, these are the One Year Awards!

The criteria for selection were as follows:
