Serenity wins at Anti-Oscars!
In this article, "Uncle Orson Reviews Everything," he comments on this years Academy Awards. He compiled his own anti-oscar poll and Serenity won best picture!

 In the Best Picture category, we couldn't stop with only five nominees -- there was a tie in fifth place. And the next two films were only one point behind, followed by a wide gap. So we ended up with eight nominated films:
Batman Begins
The Chronicles of Narnia
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
King Kong
March of the Penguins
Pride and Prejudice
Serenity
Walk the Line
Frankly, I think our anti-Oscar nominee list includes films that are more likely to last -- more likely to still be finding viewers ten years from now -- than any on the actual Oscar list.
From the nominations, I expected Narnia to win in a landslide -- it got more votes than anything else on the list. But, as with the Animated Film category, it's one thing to say what you liked and quite another thing to say what was best.
Thus Narnia and King Kong ended up tying -- for second place.
And the winner of the Anti-Oscar for Best Picture of 2005 was: Serenity That's right. The 99th highest grossing film of 2005, with box office of only $25.5 million, got slightly more votes than the third and fifth highest-grossing films of the year, which tied for second in our voting.
But keep in mind that when you have five or more nominees, the likelihood of the winner being the choice of a majority is quite slight. And there were enough of us in the room who loved Serenity with a passion that it skewed the results.
Except ... wait a minute. Isn't it about voting for films you love?
No apologies then. At my house, Serenity won as Best Picture of 2005, with Narnia and King Kong right behind.
