I got to say I agree with most of the awards Scream dished out this year. The ones I couldn't say I really liked, I couldn't think of a better person. So anybody can have it. But my only problem is the Best Sequel. Order of the Phoenix? Eeeew as iice would say! I hated the movie, actually relatively, but singularly it still wasn't good enough for me. It just didn't cut it for me. Check out the film, what can you really say is the major achievement? nada! But that's not enough to spoil the rest of the show for me.
