It is that time of the year. It is time for the 2024 EYG Year in Review!

Over the next month (or so) I will be posting the winners of the awards that we give out this time of the year every year. This is our 14th year of giving out these awards and it is one of my favorite times of the year.

There are also several lists where I list my favorite and least favorites in a plethora of categories. Everything from the world of geek culture including movies, TV shows, comic books, WWE, YouTube and so on. The biggest hole in the year in review is video games as I do not play them (for fear of never stopping).

We have the records of all of our winners from the past found on the site. I will post the records during each award post. Here is an example:

The EYG Stan Lee Movie Cameo Award

Previous winners:  Stan Lee (Big Hero 6*, Deadpool, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse* ), John Cena (Daddy’s Home), Chris Evans (Thor: The Dark World, Free Guy), Sigourney Weaver (Cabin in the Woods), Hugh Jackman (X-Men: First Class), Yoda (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), J.K. Simmons (Spider-Man: Far From Home), Harrison Ford (Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker), Rudy Giuliani (Borat Subsequent Moviefilm), Val Kilmer (Top Gun: Maverick), Rhea Perlman (Barbie)

There are a ton of potential winners in this category for 2024 so it will be interesting who receives the Stan Lee Movie Cameo Award this year.

We will end the year in review with our typical Best Movie and Worst Movie lists. It is unclear as of yet how many each list will be. Last year I had 40 films on the Best list and only 20 films on the Worst, but I think that may not be as split this year. I know there are about 5-6 films competing for the worst film of the year spot and I am unsure which one will land in that spot.

I should say that, even if there are films on the worst list, or something receives a ‘Batman and Robin Award for Rottenness,’ I have the utmost respect for those who create movies and TV shows. I know it is an amazingly difficult job. However, I do believe it is okay to criticize or critique these projects. I will never get personal though.

And I will say this many times… this is my opinion. You may have a different opinion on some of these and that is great. I had someone on Twitter/X this year get mad at me for my review of Kinds of Kindness and was very insulting to me about it, calling me names and being disrespectful. All art is subjective and what I hate completely (like Kinds of Kindness) may be your favorite film of the year. And that is OK. To attack someone for their opinions is not OK and goes against everything that we believe at EYG.

So here we go. 2024 is almost in the books. It flew by and we look back before we look ahead.
