The 2013 Maxim Oscars

BEST TITLE THAT DOUBLES AS A PLOT SPOILER

Man on a Ledge
The basics of sentence construction state that there must be a subject (who?) and a predicate (what?). Man on a Ledge is a classic example: Who is it? A man. And what’s he doing? He’s on a ledge! There is more to the plot but much of the action is driven by Sam “Call me Wortho” Worthington, you know, standing on a ledge and shit.

WORST LINE

The Dark Knight Rises
One of the biggest and most respected franchises of all-time, the final instalment of Christopher Nolan’s humourless but thematically rich Batman trilogy was big (although, fell almost $500 million short of The Avengers in box office takings). The action was always impeccable and you could always rely on characters to make stirring speeches but, shit, do you recall this exchange?
Bane: So, you came back to die with your city.
[Audience anticipates a witty, f—k you retort. An uppercut would also suffice].
Batman: No. I came back to stop you.
[Collective audience facepalm].

BEST USE OF THE MEDIUM

Katy Perry: Part of Me 3D
Some criticism has been levelled at 3D for being too expensive and inducing headaches. To that we say: Boobs. But let’s be serious for a moment: Boobs. No, no, this is, as the trailer suggests, a “journey” (or something along those lines) about a little girl who wanted to someday divorce Russell Brand and dress up as pastries. And then she achieved it. As for the title, that may or
may not be referencing her boobs.
