The Winner for Best Prestige Picture:

Drive


The Winner for Best Popcorn Film:

Bridesmaids


The very close runner-ups were The Artist and 13 Assassins respectively.

We had ~21 voters ifor both

I'll keep taking votes for the acting awards.

 

[hymen man]

Artist was robbed.

That is all.

 

[mronegative]

Yea, there were 21 votes for prestige, 17 for popcorn.
3 points for a 1st place vote, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd.
Then I counted the random dudes running in and yelling 1 movie as 1 point for 1st, 2/3 for 2nd, 1/3 for 3rd.

Drive won by 2 points, Bridesmaids by 8.

Seriously though, see The Artist and especially 13 Assassins.
You'd be surprised how great they are.
