2012 Film Guy Awards

2012 was a pretty good for movies. We saw plenty of quality blockbusters, like Bond and Batman, as well as plenty of quality indie pictures. So we got to see the best of both worlds. While the Oscar's pick for Best Picture, Argo, doesn't necessarily represent the best of 2012, it is still a fine film regardless and worse crimes have been committed. The Oscars may have played it a little safe, by omitting films like Skyfall and The Master from the Best Picture lineup, but they didn't play it safe to the degree of the year before. So from all angles, 2012 was a decent film year. There are films that I loved that were on people's radars as well as some films I loved that weren't. But again, that's the fun of creating your own personal ballot. Here are the 2012 Film Guy Awards. Enjoy!
