The Prince of Persia Award for a Too-Good Trailer
Generally, good movies had good trailers and vise versa but that's not always the case. Prince of Persia had an awesome first trailer but ended up being nothing more than a flashy movie lacking any coherent plot or Middle Eastern actors. The 2011 recipient had a trailer that showed off an awesome cast, cool special effects, and an appealing premise. Unfortunately, the trailer ended up being more entertaining than the movie.
The Award for Best Video Game Trailer
Most of the other awards took some thought but this one was a no-brainer. That's not to say video game trailers were any worse than usual this year but one truly stood out as a step above the rest even if the game ultimately didn't stack up.
The Thankful Nerd Award for Making Me Feel Cool
This award may never be given out again but I had to think of a way to honor a commercial that makes me feel giddy even after a dozen views. I envy anyone named Michael. To quote a YouTube comment, "COULD YOU IMAGINE A BAR FIGHT IN THERE?? HOLY SHIT"
The Award for the Best Movie Trailer of the Year
Many trailers impressed me this year and my honorable mention list includes The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Muppets, and Super 8. However, there's one trailer I keep watching over and over again. The trailer showed some great footage but not too much and most importantly, It did exactly what a trailer should do: make me excited.
