(now updated with links to the posts announcing winners)
Pretty soon it’ll be time again for me to write about things I liked this year. Books, movies, music, and games are up for grabs. In an effort to revive my somewhat flagging rate of posting lately, I’ll break each category out into its own post once I decide on the winners. I haven’t quite made those decisions yet, but here’s the nominees:
Books:
- World War Z, Max Brooks
- Pattern Recognition, William Gibson
- Halting State, Charles Stross
- The Invention of Hugo Cabret, Brian Selznick
- I Am America (And So Can You!), Stephen Colbert
Movies:
- 300
- Stardust
- TMNT
- Hot Fuzz
- Ratatouille
- Transformers
- Stranger Than Fiction
Music:
(I didn’t listen to a lot of whole new full albums this year, so the list is a bit limited..)
- Smashing Pumpkins – Zeitgeist
- Foo Fighters – Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
Video Games:
(This will probably be the most hotly contested category)
- Super Mario Galaxy
- Portal
- Halo 3
- Rock Band
- Picross
- Bioshock
You might notice that not everything in these lists was originally released in 2007. I like to make lists on everything I took in over the year, not just what’s new.
Can you feel the excitement building? I know I can 😛
I’ll be posting the winners gradually as December winds itself up. See anything I left off the lists?
