  • Best actor in a geeky movie (tie)
    Michael Cera, for being that sweet little Scott Pilgrim
    Leonardo DiCaprio, for not making you hear “I’m the king of the world!” even once during Inception
  • Best actress in a geeky movie (tie)
    America Ferrera, for being an ass-kicking Viking gal in How To Train Your Dragon
    Mary Elizabeth Winstead, for rocking Ramona’s colorful hair hard and having worse exes than you in Scott Pilgrim
  • Best movie that you saw on paper first
    Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part I
  • Most likely to be seen in costumes at a con
    TRON Legacy
  • The one where you could see where the video game was going to come from while the movie was still playing
    TRON Legacy
  • Best animation for geeks
    Toy Story 3 (with How to Train Your Dragon in a very close second)
  • Best flashback to your childhood
    The A-Team (with TRON Legacy just one vote behind)
