Kell's Awards - Individual Movies

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 individual movies:


Best Animated Film --
Up!

Has there ever been a bad Pixar movie? This one in particular, with excellent voice acting, clever comedy, and amazing characters, definitely hits a home run in the animated movie department.


Best Comedy --
Night at the Museum: Battle at the Smithsonian

Very few comedies are educational at the same time, but this one, as well as the first Night at the Museum movie, accomplishes this. It's awesome, taking in historical information and laughing about it at the same time.


Best Horror --
The Haunting in Conneticut

Another ghost movie! So many horror films lately have been all about the gore and shock value, that something with a storyline and good characterization is a welcome breath of fresh air. Also, one of the only horrors based on true stories that haven't been boring for me.


Best Drama --
Public Enemies

Filled with jaw-dropping moments, with great music that accompanies the drama very nicely. Some amazing acting by Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, and a great cast altogether.


Best Adaption --
Watchmen

It's faithful to the graphic novel, while giving its own twists (like the surprise ending) to keep those who've read the comic in the dark. This is the perfect example of a comic book movie.


Best Tear-Jerker --
Up!

If a movie that makes you cry in the first five minutes isn't classified as a good tearjerker, then what is? Pixar movies are notorious for inspiring tears of both joy and sorrow.
