I can see the light of my 2013 awards! Lawd I’m almost done talking about the year that was 2013. In order to do this, I decided to group together some of the last prizes I needed to hand out and man did I hand some out. This was such a good film year that I even decided to invent some categories to honor more people. I’ve also included the worst films of the year in this post. Enjoy!
Best Book I Read in 2013: Two Boys Kissing
Best Episode of Television: The Rains of Castamere, Game of Thrones
