Welcome, one and all, to the second annual Nerdy Awards!
Throughout the year of 2019, we've seen ups and downs in film, and we're here to not only look at the former, but to celebrate the ones that have had the biggest impact on our movie-goings for 2019.
But before we announce winners and give out awards, here are the quick run-downs of how the Nerdy Awards work:
- The option with the most votes is the winner of the Nerdy Award
- The runner-up gets the Nerdy Seal of Approval
Also, before we hand out awards, please take a moment to honor the lives of filmmakers, actors, and icons that we sadly lost in 2019.
