The Simon Awards 2006

Cause I'm bored at work - a random selection of my award which will no doubt be updated throughout the day.



The "Christ why I hype this at Whedonesque?" award
Nathan Fillion's appearance on Lost.

Best iconic scenes of the year
Sam wakes up in 1973 on Life on Mars.
Jack arising from the depths in the first episode of Torchwood.
Baltar surrenders to the Cyclons at the end of Battlestar Galactica season 2.
The Doctor crashing through the mirror in "The Girl in the Fireplace".

Best dialogue
"Rose Tyler, I...." (see also best weepy scene).

Best dialogue from a play
At one point Bill Nighy as an English doctor reveals that he was passionately against the Iraq war. "From the beginning?" asks Julianne Moore as the pro-interventionist American heroine. "Let's just say," responds Nighy, "I knew who the surgeon was going to be, so I had fair idea what the operation would look like."
David O'Hare's The Vertical Hour

But still it's a lot better than Hex
Torchwood.

Fandom villains of the year
Universal.
Booster Events.

Biggest disappointment of the year
Superman Returns.

Best new tv show of the year
Life on Mars. Oh so good.

Ultimate fanboy orgasm experience
Daleks versus the Cyberman in "Doomsday".

The best wanking in my fandom
The bitching about who should play Wonder Woman on the IMDB boards.
The "OMG Spike is a Nazi" artwork angst - so much for artistic interpretation.
The "I will not read the Buffy season 8 comic book unless it has this, that and the other in it. I know better than the show's creator" postings.

Film of the year
Casino Royale.

The best Bond song that never was
Scissor Sisters - Land of a Thousand Words.

Book of the year
World War Z. Mmmmmm zombies.

Most overused fan phrase
"We are mighty". Runs away screaming.

Best breakout performance
Michelle Dockery as Susan in "The Hogfather". Stunningly good actress.
