I/O Movie Awards 2002

Well, folks. It's time for the Academy Awards once again, and once again they have about three good films on their list, along with a whole lot of crap. We here at I/O have gotten fed up with the Academy's picks as of late, (since it's just a bunch of crusty old Hollywood know-nothing's forcing their opinions upon us) which is why we've decided to come up with our own film awards. Without further ado, here is the list of Nominees for the I/O Film Awards. Winners will be announced the week before the oscars. (Because we're better, you see.)
