While the Academy may have covered the classic bases such as Best Soundtrack or Best Picture at the Oscars on March 10, our staff believed there were more awards to hand out.

Best Wig: Trolls Band Together

The luscious magenta poof of Poppy’s hair in Trolls 3 is truly unlike her previous looks and has redefined the hairstyles used in film and seen on the streets today. I think we can all learn something from Poppy’s coiffure. -Ava Segale

Best Bathtub: Saltburn

Just know as soon as this thing of a movie ended, I jumped onto the Bed Bath and Beyond website and bought myself a Sinkology Euclid 6′ Copper Freestanding Bathtub with Overflow (on sale) for $3,022.59. -Alex Gribb

Best First Half of a Movie: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
I didn’t think the team behind Into the Spider-Verse would be able to revolutionize animation for a second time. But they did! And what a phenomenal, stunning movie this was until it ended. It’s high time for filmmakers to stop ending on cliffhangers. I left the theater angry. -Katya Roudakov

Best Movie About the High School Experience: Meg 2: The Trench
Imagine swimming through the deep blue sea, and you’ve got to paddle for your life. What’s chasing you? A swarm of blood-thirsty, massive, prehistoric sharks. I simply imagine this as a mundane, completely relatable day of our Cherry Creek life. Any teenage realistic fiction absent of behemoth krakens and vicious dino-dogs is grossly inaccurate. -Peter Philpott

Best Chevy Product Placement: Barbie
I have never seen a car commercial so smoothly integrated into a movie. Perfect execution — all the angles, plenty of logo, a freshly polished car at its best. The Chevy Blazer SS EV gets as much screen time as Allan. -Katya Roudakov

Best Executed Motorcycle Jump Off Cliff: Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part 1
No one could have executed this better than Tom Cruise. His form as he flew through the air was poetic, swanlike, too entrancing to be faked by CGI. It takes someone as buff and rugged as Cruise to accomplish something so breathtaking. -Ava Segale

Best Bomb Test: Oppenheimer
Plutonium-239 really blew up above any other bombs! An earth-jittering explosion? Who wouldn’t want to see a bomb that weighs 9,000 pounds explode in a barren area of New Mexico? That’s just pure showmanship! Great on you, Christopher Nolan. -Nick BeDan

Best Unexpected Cry: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
This movie hurt me to my core. I expected a light-hearted movie following the first two volumes. Maybe I’d shed a tear at the end if someone died. Two at most. But I was sobbing from the first 30 minutes. Something about animal cruelty plus the abandonment and the innocent, childlike creatures tortured for the sake of scientific advancement… Enough. -Amanda Castillo-Lopez
