The 2nd Anonymous Theatre 3000 Awards (Part II)
Best Supporting Actor
Albert Brooks (Drive)
To the rest of the general audience, Brooks is well known for his comedic roles, particularly his guest voice in several episodes of The Simpsons. But in Drive, Brooks is a scary gangster who acts more human than any other gangster I'll ever seen. However it's more likely that if you've fucked him over, then he'll poke your eye with a fork. He's foreboding, but has nothing against people. THe fact that he was snubbed by the Oscars is a crime.
While I wasn't won over Moneyball, the one thing I was left impressed walking out of the film was Jonah Hill playing the architect of sabemetrics Peter Brand. His character places an impact in sport and his partnership with Brad Pitt is at times feel like the odd couple when all he did was just stand there, but because of the jargon-crafted screenplay, it worked.
For me, the major highlight of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II isn't the fact that it pulled off a spectacular finale for the mega huge fanbase, but it's also came from Alan Rickman, who plays the anti-hero in this series, more or less. He is perhaps the more human Death Eater and there's a scene where it made me tear up when we see the relations between him Lily, Harry's mother.
Tom Hardy is perhaps the best out of a fine cast of British actors in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. Like all of them, his character provides the complexity to the film. His character is smooth, but is very melancholic at the same time.
Ben Kingsley is a major gameplayer in Hugo, playing a bitterly miserable toy store owner filled with something he regrets. Although he may look and sound like your average senile grandfather, you'll see by the end of the film, he's the person responsible for the popularity of cinema.
Last Year's winner: Christian Bale (The Fighter)
Runner Ups: Jonah Hill (Moneyball), Alan Rickman (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II), Tom Hardy (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Ben Kingsley (Hugo)

Best films of the 2000s
The movies had come and gone in various ends of the spectrum and it came be broken down to which movies are the best by remembering what was awesome in what particular year and how important it is to them. Determining how important would depends on how many times they've seen a particular movie, whether it is put on a thousand best lists of a thousand newspapers and magazines. The 2000s was the start of the new millenium where our civilisation become maintained with social networking sites and iPods. People went looking for weapons that may lead to platonic suicide and they later discovered that there were no such thing as WMDs. Our music had various changes where it asks you for those who love their music to turn their brain off. That is the result of music we are currently having today.
But that's not the point. I am counting down the 25 best movies of the 2000s. Some that I have kept in my DVD collection and some that... I think about and do not have the balls to collect it on DVD. And that's that. However before we get into the list, you are going to ask where is Requiem For A Dream, any movie by Wes Anderson or something like that, it's just that I haven't seen them yet.
And here a few mentions
