    Lets keep it simple with 8 categories;

    General

    Best Film: Rush and Saving Mr Banks were both good but Gravity dazzled. I think Sandra Bullock might be a surprising Oscar win next year

    Worst Film:     The Internship

    Best Song: Daft Punk "Get Lucky"

    Worst Song: Kanye West "Bound 2"

    Good Person Of The Year: Independent TD Shane Ross for kicking arse on the Public Accounts Committee

    Bold Person Of The Year: Joint winners are Anglo Irish Bank senior managers John Bowe and Peter Fitzgerald. Both were caught on tape having a laugh about how Anglo was luring the State into giving it billions of euros. Both remain unjailed.

    Boards.ie Awards

    Poster Of The Year: Wibbs always has something very sensible to say.

    Thread Of The Year: The "How The Internet Used To Be" thread was great ;)



    For the craic you can add your own category and winner in addition to the 8 above, but no nasty ones like "biggest troll" etc


    Who do you give your After Hours end of year awards for the Best & Worst of 2013?

    This thread has some potential. Alternatively it might get locked after six posts.

    Gravity is a load of cnut. The Family with De Niro is pathetic. What is all the fuss about the Anchorman? Wankerman more like.

    I quite enjoyed that and Filth. Die Hard 5 was dreadful.

    The tributes to the late Mel Smith and Felix Dexter were appropriate and dignified, so comedians get my media death of the year award.

    Can't say the same of many the others, other than may they rest in peace.

    Also the year of Breaking Bad, arguably the best TV ever.

    Humungous year in gaming, with the release of GTA V and COD Ghosts, and the end of the 360/PS3 era.

    Ghosts and GTA V must be put down as a bit of a disappointment. Certainly neither have pleased everybody, and probably also have the biggest amount of people selling them on immediately. GTA online continues to develop and will hopefully improve over time. Maybe by mid 2014, we will have a fully working game.

    The physical release of Minecraft on Xbox 360 must be called a massive success for gamers. Huge sales, a well-crafted port of the PC game and at a very reasonable price.

    The jury is still out on PS4/Xbox One. Even though we have had a great year of arguing the qualities of each pre-release, nobody can afford one yet.

    The Last of Us deserves a mention, one of the best written games I've ever played

    This is of course the same Shane Ross (he with a PhD in Revisionism), who was a cheerleader for Anglo during the last decade and even went as far as to call for Sean Fitzpatrick to be appointed to the board of the Central Bank?
