Kell's Awards - Characters

The Oscars are tonight, and in honor of them, I've chosen MY candidates for the best movies, crew and actors of the year. Here are the awards for best characters:

Best Onscreen Couple --
Ben Stiller and Amy Adams (Night at the Museum 2)

He doesn't understand half of what she says. She's infatuated and eager to help him. Even Abe Lincoln thinks they're a great couple. What can go wrong here?


Best Onscreen Chemistry (Male) --
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law (Sherlock Holmes)

They can bicker like an old married couple, they love each other deeply, and, most importantly, every bit of this is visible onscreen. Downey and Law, both very talented, bring their talents together to create a relationship that's supposed to appear decades old.


Best Onscreen Chemistry (Female) --
Malin Ackerman and Carla Gugino (Watchmen)

Their mother and daughter relationship is bittersweet, and they love each other as much as they dislike and don't understand each other.


Best Hero --
Rorschach (Watchmen)

Rorschach is the ideal antihero, the hero with a past that's so scarred, it leaves you wondering why he decided to play for the good guys' side. The fact that he's so messed up only makes him more of a fascinating character.


Best Villain --
Ozymandias (Watchmen)

I fess up, I'm a sucker for villains who think they're being villainous for the good of the world. And Ozymandias, aka Adrian Veidt, is on top of the world. The head of Veidt Enterprises, this guy has action figures, a TV show, perfume, and probably half a dozen other things that we never got to see onscreen. But he's pretty much willing to give all that up by trying to prevent the nuclear war that he feels is inevitable.
