Nominations For The 2013 Fanatic Awards!

Instead of just writing a top 10 or 20 list, I decided to do my own awards so to speak, with nominations and all that. It may seem kind of late to announce nominations now, but since I live in Europe many films are released much later over here and so instead of including these films for 2013, I wanted to do it while they were relevant and so here they are, the creatively named 2013 Fanatic Awards!

I just want to add a couple comments here at the end, firstly the absence of five nominations in the animated category. I have not seen Wreck-It Ralph and so could not nominate it and of the other animated films I have seen in 2012, none were deserving of a nomination. As for the foreign language category, there is a possibility of a nomination being switched during the next week as there is a good chance I will be seeing Holy Motors, which is supposed to be good and if I consider it better then ay of the five nominated, then I will update it (kind of unfair I know, but it was that or waiting until I see it before posting this). The winner will be announced sometime during the next week!
