The Bookish Academy Awards Tag

I was tagged by Michaela @ Journey Into Books. Thanks for the Tag!  Go check out her blog, its awesome!

This is actually the second time I have done this award.  The first was a year ago tomorrow.  I thought it would be fun to answer all the prompts and then compare my new answers to my answers from last time! Also, this time around, I tried to pick books I have read in the last year.

BEST ACTOR – BEST MALE PROTAGONIST

Marko from Saga

Previous Choice: Nate from Heroine Complex

BEST ACTRESS – BEST FEMALE PROTAGONIST

Lila from A Darker Shade of Magic

Previous Choice: Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice

BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY – BEST PLOT TWIST

The Cruel Prince & The Wicked King

Previous Choice: Godsgrave

BEST COSTUME DESIGN – BEST BOOK COVER

Sherwood

If you ask me this question again in a couple hours you will probably get a different answer.  I love so many different book covers!!

Previous Choice: The Cruel Prince

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS AND ACTOR – BEST FEMALE AND MALE SIDEKICKS

Ron and Hermione

I have re-read most of the Harry Potter books in the last year and they are definitely the best sidekicks OF ALL TIME!

Previous Choice: Aaron, Darvish, and Chandra from The Fire’s Stone

BEST ON-SCREEN KISS – BEST COUPLE/ROMANCE

Ethan and Mo from The Princess and the Fangirl

This choice is kind of a cop out because it is a very Pride and Prejudice esque romance and I loved it!

Previous Choice: No Previous Choice / Wasn’t a Question Last Time

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY (BEST BOOK-TO-MOVIE ADAPTATION)

The Umbrella Academy

I know this isn’t a movie, but I am picking it anyway.  I thought the graphic novel was pretty awful, and the tv show was brilliant.  The are other adaptations that I like better, but I also loved their books, so considering how much I disliked the book compared to how much I loved the show, this might be one of the best adaptations I have seen.

Previous Choice: The Princess Bride

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE – BEST CHILDREN’S BOOK

P is for Pterodactyl

Previous Choice: Last time the Prompt was “Best Animated Feature: A book that would work well in animated format” and I chose “Daughter of the Pirate King”

BEST DIRECTOR – BEST NEW-TO-YOU AUTHOR

V.E. Schwab

I read my first Schwab book back in June ’18 and since then I have read 6 of her books, and am currently reading a 7th.

Previous Choice: Ashley Poston

BEST SHORT-FILM – BEST NOVELLA/SHORT BOOK

One Con Glory (107 pages)

So I read this one more than a year ago, but I don’t read a lot of short books, so I just sorted my goodreads books by length and picked the shortest novel that I loved.

Previous Choice: One Con Glory

BEST PICTURE – BEST STANDALONE

The Fire’s Stone

This one was hard for me because I don’t read a lot of Stand Alones, but I loved The Fire’s Stone!

Previous Choice: Uprooted

BEST DOCUMENTARY – BEST HISTORICAL FICTION

Mortal Heart

Previous Choice: Girl in Blue

BEST ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK – BEST AUDIOBOOK

Second Hand Curses

Previous Choice: No Previous Choice / Wasn’t a Question Last Time

BEST FOREIGN FILM – BEST BOOK WITH DIVERSE REPRESENTATION

The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue

Previous Choice: No Previous Choice / Wasn’t a Question Last Time
