Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: First Ever Horror Oscars…I Mean…Igor Awards!

So here Remy and I are, with our own little horror column, wondering what to write about the week after horror yet again exists as the biggest Oscar snub of them all (except for Wreck-It Ralph which was 10x better than Brave!!!!) - and thus the Igor Awards are born. Well, born here at least. Universal has the Eyegore Awards during their Halloween Horror Nights, but ours pay tribute to that hunchbacked sidekick who will forever live in infamy.

Michael Fassbender in Prometheus

Wait, WHAT?

Yes, you read that correctly. People can spew all the hate they want towards Prometheus, and how it did not live up to the (unrealistic) expectations that everyone had thrust on it, but Fassbender OWNED his role as the slowly sentient android, David. He was easily the most compelling thing about the film, and he seemed so cold and stoic, much like the two wonderful actors who had played androids in this series before (mainly, Lance Henriksen from Aliens). Fassbender was the glue that held this film together, and kept us fixated on screen from start to finish. While it’s true the film took some missteps, it is WAY better than most have made it out to be, and if you look at Prometheus as its own film, and not a new entry in the Alien franchise, it’s actually a damn good movie.

Some may want to cry foul saying Prometheus is Sci-Fi and not horror, so it shouldn’t be included in this list. Those people are wrong.
