Every year films are assessed, and if found worthy enough, nominated for the Academy Awards. Now, for whatever reason, my beloved Action movies are rarely nominated for an Oscar, so I’ve decided to hold my own Action Academy Awards to recognize and celebrate the hard work that goes into making an action movie.
Action roles not only take a lot of brain power, but also a lot of physical power. Actors are put to the test in every scene, as well as the stunt men/women, safety crew, director, etc. Every single person has to be on cue because when something goes wrong in an action movie, there’s more of a chance of someone getting hurt.
I’ve set up a survey that is now open to the public, so that you, the fans, can decide who wins. The awards are for new action films released in 2012. There are only five categories to start with this first year, so it won’t take long to give your input. The categories are as follows: Best Hero, Best Heroine, Best Villain, Best Stunt Work, Best Action Movie of 2012.
There’s no requirement to sign-up or create an account, so take the survey and support your favorite action movies! The winners will be announced March 27.
This is the Action Flick Chick, and you’ve just been kicked in the ass!

This is awesome and long overdue. Major kudos. Spread the word, everyone!
Survey taken. Along with some advil after having to choose just one of the films in the last question. Just the thought of one…/wince.
Most of them were easy decisions IMHO, with the exception of best villain (none were that good) and best picture (best action, best story, and best effects came from different movies).
Best hero (Dredd) and heroine (Mallory Kane) were VERY easy choices.
Awesome! Thanks for putting this out there. Can’t wait to see the results!
