The "Sutton At The Movies" Achievement Awards

Hey, everybody, welcome back to the MSX. I hope you're having a great 2011 so far. Me, I can't complain. But I'll get into the details of why I can't complain later. Right now, we're here to celebrate the MSX's annual tradition, the "Sutton at the Movies" Achievement Awards, where I run down the best and worst of the movies I saw this year. Keep in mind that I usually don't end up seeing "Oscar bait" or most critically-lauded movies, nor do I end up seeing every bad movie released during the year either. So if you're expecting to see stuff like Inception or The Last Airbender to dominate my best and worst lists, all I can say is "sorry."
  • Best Movie: Toy Story 3
  • Best Actor: Robert Downey Jr., Iron Man 2 and Due Date
  • Best Actress: Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit

  • Crappiest Ending: Remember Me using the 9/11 attacks for no reason other than cheap melodrama
  • Most Curious Phenomenon: Jennifer Aniston still having an acting career despite making nothing but bad romantic comedies
  • Worst Movie: Clash of the Titans

And that's it for the 2010 S@TM Achievement Awards. There were a few movies during 2010 that probably would have been represented here had I actually seen them (like Let Me In, for example). But I'll just have to wait until I see them on DVD, then I'll probably edit this post accordingly. Until then, we'll have to settle for this. And I'm okay with that for now. So with that out of the way, let's see what 2011 has in store for us, okay? Alright.
