They Serve Popcorn in Hell: The Annual 2018 Laggys

It's that time of year again! No not Oscar season, who gives a s**t about that sweaty, desperate mound of pretty faces clamoring for attention? No, this is the time of year we, the dedicated folks of They Serve Popcorn in Hell (yes it's still just me) flashback to the past Wayne's World-style, to honor the sweaty, desperate mound of pretty faces from five years ago.

Let us take a moment to hearken back to the long away time of 2013 when the world anxiously awaited the arrival of the royal baby, CERN discovered evidence of the higgs boson and the word Sharknado finally entered the cultural lexicon. It was also a time of great stress however, the country had also just re-elected a lily-livered, gun grabbing, lying, cheating, irresponsible liberal to the highest office in the land all but guaranteeing the death of the great American experiment. Haha - it's so great to laugh again?

As you well know, as part of my tradition of obsessive movie watching and regret, I like to sidestep the usual Academy-fever that happens this time of year and instead focus on a made-up award I like to call The Laggys. Instead of honoring this year's movies which the Academy always (rarely) does, I delve into the past to find out whether the winners and nominees of half-a-decade really do stand the test of time.

And when it came to movies overall, 2013 was quite the doozy. Who can forget the incredibly well-received box office extravaganzas that were Man of Steel, Iron Man 3 and R.I.P.D.. With titles like those why even bother handing out awards? Yet that year the big winners come award season were: 12 Years a Slave, American Hustle, Gravity, Frozen, The Great Beauty and Dallas Buyers Club.

I personally believe you should hand every movie coming through the tubes a big 'ol golden statue just for existing! Saving Mr. Banks - you get an award! 47 Ronin - you get an award! Hangover Part III - you, you actually don't get anything, you were just, just awful. However I'd like to know what you think. Which, in your opinion, of these (already pre-chosen) films deserved the Oscar on that fateful Seth MacFarlane hosting night (yikes).

As per usual, the nominees were chosen by a secret cabal of mind-reading sea monkeys who expressed their choices via bio-luminescent algae patterns. Science was used to come up with these choices so don't f**king question them! To vote you just go to https://survey.zohopublic.com/zs/jSCusL
