alt-oscars

[the_reverand]

After nutmeg3 mentioned her discontent witht he Oscar noms, I suggested a few alternative categories for consideration, and though it might be fun to have our own alt-oscars.

I think the only requirement for a category should be that there are at least two (three?) instances/actors/films/whatever, that qualify. With that in mind, a few that I suggest are:

Sexiest Magicians
-Ed Norton, The Illusionist
-Christian Bale, The Prestige
-Hugh Jackman, The Prestige

Best Kitty or Kitty Scene
-Mr. Alley's Cat, The Prestige
-Clive Owen and various kitties, Children of Men

Best Man-Crying
-Hugh Jackman, The Fountain
-Clive Owen, Children of Men
-Christian Bale, Harsh Times

Best Voiceporn in an Animated Feature
-Hugh Jackman, Flushed Away
-David Bowie, Arthur and The Invisibles

Other categories I'd like to see but can't think of enough noms:

Best Old Song Used in a New Film (In the Court of the Crimson King - King Crimson, Children of Men)
Best Beard
Best Boobs (Scarlet Johansen, Anything)
Best Crossdressing (Keira Knightly, Pirates of the Carribean)

There could also be honorable mentions for really *really* necessary categories with only one nom. Chief among these:
Best Flip-flops worn by a Male Performer - Clive Owen, Children of Men
Best David Bowie Performance - David Bowie, The Prestige

Also, standard categories but with our own noms.

I'll be willing to build polls and such if anyone's willing to play along. But if you leave the categories up to me they'll all be for movies I've seen recently, because I have a horrific memory.

So, do you have anything for our consideration? Suggestions for aforementioned categories, standard categories, or new categories and honorable mentions welcome!
