Notes:
The third update of the 2010 lists adds just 1 title to the mix, Jerzy Skolimowski's poor Essential Killing, which doesn't make the Bottom 10 list. Plus lists of the 10 most commercially negative and positive outputs of the year.
2010's best films are led by Tom Hooper's broadly appealing historical drama The King's Speech. It is followed by the first season of David Simon and Eric Ellis Overmyer's humanistic, musical New Orleans-set gift, Treme. Sofia Coppola has made her best film yet in Somewhere, and she joins the master ranks with Christopher Nolan with his huge, mind-bending Inception. Shari-Springer Berman & Robert Pulcini's priceless The Extra Man, Dustin Lance Black's little seen Virginia/What's Wrong with Virginia, George Tillman Jr.'s action car movie Faster and José Padilha's anthropology-investigating documentary Secrets of the Tribe are the year's other masterpieces (8 located so far.) Tobias Lindholm and Michael Noer's prison thriller R and Xavier Dolan's sexy menage-a-trois drama Heartbeats round off the top 10.
The year begat new, strong franchises Despicable Me, How to Train Your Dragon and The Expendables; the wonderful Allen Ginsberg-biopic Howl, new major TV-series Boardwalk Empire, a terrific, grand western from the Coen brothers in True Grit and many other great new titles. A couple of wild, crazy movies came out of Asia: Dream Home and I Saw the Devil. Noah Baumbach returned with wry, moody, over-budgeted Greenberg, while James Wan scared us silly with Insidious, and Gareth Edwards debuted auspiciously with the original Monsters. Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was strange and wonderful and had audiences flocking, just as Lee Unkrich's great Toy Story 3 did grand business, while Ridley Scott's Robin Hood was also good but hopelessly neglected by the public, - if seen up against its huge budge. Oliver Stone returned with a good sequel to Wall Street more than 20 years after that film; we got a new cool but commercially disastrous Wolfman film, and a maligned but fun Sex and the City 2. - As well as a great Danish dramedy, Nothing's All Bad, a Norwegian troll movie, Troll Hunter, a small crime drama that marks the arrival of Jennifer Lawrence, Winter's Bone and many other fine films.
Paranormal Activity 2 takes the cake as the year's worst film, an aggressively unlikable sequel, - which nevertheless made a boatload of money. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is an awful martial arts youth picture. They are followed up by similarly dour genre mates Legion, inane flop The A-Team and The Crazies. Michael Winterbottom's The Killer Inside Me rocked high unpleasantness and little to redeem it on any other front. Casey Affleck - the film's star - had an all-around bad year, which he also spent involved in the 7th worst film, the unbearable, narcissistic mockumentary I'm Still Here, starring his friend Joaquin Phoenix. The worst of 2010 also includes Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed but awful Incendies, Jack Black's turn in Rob Letterman's moronic Gulliver's Travels and an insipid remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street.
Another major star who had a poor year was Bruce Willis, who had a small part in Sylvester Stallone's refreshing Expendables, but also headed two brain-dead duds of 2010 in RED (a hit though) and Cop Out (deservedly a flop), as well as appearing as himself in super-dud I'm Still Here.
Besides honors (of which a few are questionable as such indeed), Film Excess awards are given in 21 categories with a maximum of 10 nominated for each category. The categories are an improved version of the Oscar categories which discriminates less between nations and genres than at the Oscars, (for this reason there is no Best Foreign Film category), and also recognize TV-series and non-adult actors. Other differences are that there's no distinction between 'adapted' and 'original' screenplays, - but there are different categories for practical and digital effects. There is also just one sound category, and no short film categories.
The Film Excess award winners of 2010, rounded up, are The King's Speech (Best Film), Inception (Best Screenplay (Christopher Nolan), Best Cinematography (Wally Phister), Best Practical Effects), Somewhere (Best Lead Actor (Stephen Dorff), Best Director (Sofia Coppola), Best Editing), Virginia/What's Wrong with Virginia (Best Lead Actress (Jennifer Connelly)), The Extra Man (Best Supporting Actor (John C. Reilly)), Rabbit Hole (Best Supporting Actress (Dianne Wiest)), Mad Men S4 (Best Child Actor (Kiernan Shipka)), Sex and the City 2 (Best Costumes (Pat Field)), Insidious (Best Sound), Alice in Wonderland (Best Digital Effects), The Wolfman (Best Makeup and Hair), Treme S1 (Best Original Song (The Treme Song, John Boutté), Best Music, Best TV-series), Toy Story 3 (Best Animation), Secrets of the Tribe (Best Documentary) and Boardwalk Empire S1 (Best Production Design).
On the list of great directors who underwhelmed to varying degrees in 2010, we find such forces as Danny Boyle (127 Hours), Pernille Fischer Christensen (A Family), Anton Corbijn (The American), Burr Steers (Charlie St. Cloud), Nicholas Stoller (Get Him to the Greek), James Mangold (Knight and Day), Julian Schnabel (Miral), Wes Craven (My Soul to Take), Mike Newell (Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time), Martin Scorsese (Shutter Island), David Fincher (The Social Network), David Spade (The Twilight Saga: Eclipse), Tony Scott (Unstoppable) and Peter Weir (The Way Back). Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse were two huge success movies that both aren't exactly good.
A few of the major stars who, on the other hand, had very good years include James Franco (mediocre but highly successful 127 Hours, great Date Night and Howl, awful Oscar hosting job aside), Guy Pearce (Animal Kingdom, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark and The King's Speech), Steve Carell (Date Night, funny flop Dinner for Schmucks and Despicable Me), Sarah Jessica Parker, who reportedly made 45 mil. $ on Sex and the City 2, plus the year's shooting star actress Mia Wasikowska (The Kids Are All Right and Alice in Wonderland).
The 2011 Oscars:
Hosting for their first (and likely last) time were James Franco and Anne Hathaway, who were, in short, terrible, the former seeming high through most of the broadcast, and the latter painfully stuck with a disengaged partner and unfunny material.
The biggest winners were The King's Speech and Inception, both winning four awards:
King's Speech won Best Film, Director (Tom Hooper), Actor (Colin Firth) and Original Screenplay (David Seidler). Inception won Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Cinematography (Wally Phister) and Visual Effects. Natalie Portman won Best Actress (Black Swan), Christian Bale and Melissa Leo won Best Supporting Actor/Actress for The Fighter and Aaron Sorkin won Best Adapted Screenplay for The Social Network. Toy Story 3 won Best Animation, Inside Job Best Documentary and Susanne Bier's In a Better World won Best Foreign Film for Denmark. The short film Oscars went to Strangers No More (short doc.), God of Love (live-action short) and The Lost Thing (animated short). Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won Best Score for Social Network, which also took Best Editing, and Toy Story 3 and Randy Newman won Best Song for We Belong Together. Alice in Wonderland won Best Art Direction and Costumes, and The Wolfman won Best Makeup.
Honorary Oscars went to Kevin Brownlow, Jean-Luc Godard, Eli Wallach and Francis Ford Coppola.
