I will overlook the fact that an Abba tribute album won best soundtrack, and concentrate my vitriol on the most fucked up award of all: Wanted winning best Superhero/Sci-fi.
In the same year that we were treated to Iron Man, Hell Boy II, The Dark Knight, The Hulk and a myriad of straight-to-dvd science fiction and comic book films that didn't even make it to the cinema, how is it that the worst, most vacuous, pointless and socially disturbing film of last year even made it to cinemas, let More

OK... I think there is an AWFUL lot to be said for Empire no longer putting the votes to its readers.
QOS was probably the worst Bond film in 25 years, and that's saying something, so to call it Best Thriller is a Joke.
Christian Bale as best actor? I mean, c'mon. We all loved The Dark Knight... But even in that film alone Caine, Ledger, Oldman and Eckhart were all better actors than him.
How did Dark Knight or Ironman not win best Sci-fi/Superhero? I mean, are we being really strict wi More

Dark Knight deserves every award it gets and more so no problems there. Quantam of solace was a load of crap and so was Wanted. Glad to see Rock n Rolla get a bit of recognition as it was a really entertaining film. So a bit of a mixed bag... More

Quantum Of Solace is an abysmal film, how did that win best thriller? An already muddled and confused plot obfuscated by poorly edited, often superfluous and badly executed action sequences. I used to like the Empire awards when I was 14( Star Wars gets awards recognition!). But now I see them for what they are- juvenile and dominated by mainstream fare( yes, The Dark Knight is a good film but where is the appetite for indepedent cinema such as the art More

Best British film - RocknRolla??? Best Thriller - Quantum of Solace??? Best Sci-Fi - Wanted??? And of course, complete over flagulation of The Dark Knight.
Oh, and what the hell is Russell Crowe on at the moment? More

Wow! What a star-filled night! I am happy with the results and glad that RocknRolla won Best Brittish Film (just nearly finished it on Blu-Ray and loving every second of it!) Brilliant news for the Dark Knight and Qutuam of Solace, lots of hotties around like James Mcavoy, Christian Bale and even Gerard Butler! Ah, need to see the show on tv when it comes on! More

Dammit...why this film always goes un-recognized? It's the best film of last year. I feel like In Bruges is the new Shawshank...in time it will become a true classic.
I'm a HUGE Bond fan but QOS...embarrasing...it was the most aticipated film for me, and what a let-down. Martin Campbell come back!!!!!!!!!!! More

| RocknRolla Best British Film? You're havin' a larf geezer! |
Rocknrolla is forced and almost unwatchable in parts.
It's terrible.
Guy Ritchie must have been sleeping with someone famous to get all the kudos and attention he's got over the years/
D'oh.
I just got it. More

Eden Lake - Best horror - F*** right off, The Mist blew it out of the water, so to speak!
QOS - Best thriller - How could you present that award and keep a straight face? (Every other film in that category was superior.)
Gemma Arterton is a terrible actress IMO. Best newcomer???
Nothing for In Bruges, another piss take.
As for the rest, meh!
C'mon Empire readers, those are poor choices.

Some terrible choices this year!
Christian Bale over Daniel Day Lewis? (I know Lewis wins a lot of actor awards but Bale's 'Big Boy voice' performance as Batman over that???)
Wanted over Iron Man? (One of the best pure superhero adaptations over a bastardized, if stylish, version of a blackly funny graphic novel?)
RocknRolla over In Bruges? (A Guy Ritchie re-run over something fairly original?)
I could go on. I should be appauled at other Empire readers for voting this More

So what did Heath Ledger get then? You said he was going to get something and I haven't read anything here yet (admitidly there's a lot to read). Maybe Empire should have supporting actor/actress noms' in future. A visual fx would also go down well More

To be honest, it's nice to see film awards that don't feel they have to hand everything out to the most 'important' film. At the end of the day, the vast majority of those films were good films and most likely the ones people are going to remember for years to come unlike most of the awards ceremony bate. More
