I have decided to put up my own 2012 movie awards. I will tell you I have not seen Dredd so that by default cannot win anything. The 1st award is Best Actor in Lead Role. And so down to my reasoning.

Its true when people say the best compliment you can give to a actor is that he wasn’t in it. This happened in Marvel’s Amazing Spider-Man and DC’s Dark Knight Rises.

To be honest picking between the 2 is extremely difficult. However I have to give Christian Bale the edge. Before that I thought he did a passable job. DKR showed this to be wrong. He was doing a excellent job in those first two but was outclassed by characters who make Batman, Batman.

I do not know why I thought Bale’s was only passable as when I think back I also considered it as Batman in the film and Bale wasn’t in it…As I stated I think it was Batman was outclassed as a character by Joker and Ra's Al Ghul in the 1st 2 movies.

This is not to underestimate the great things Andrew Garfield accomplished. On the contrary. Andrew Garfield was Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Its just that since there was another actor immediately before that didn’t act like Spider-Man the change to someone actually being Spider-Man while big isn’t as major(in my book).

As I stated I give this award to Christian Bale’s Batman.

K4TZM4N had this thought:

Karl Urban as Judge Dredd. Most of the time you'll say things like, "yeah, that actor did a good job as the character," but every now and then you'll see a movie and instead say, "yeah, that actor is that character!" This happened with Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark... and it's exactly what happened for Karl Urban as Judge Dredd. Emotionless yet captivating, calm yet aggressive, Urban did a brilliant job as the anti-hero and I desperately want to see him return for a sequel. And unlike someone else out there, he never took off his helmet (here's lookin' at you, Pete), so this powerful performance was limited to just his lines and piercing frown. Now that's impressive. Simply put: Urban is Dredd.
