2002
KryptonSite Awards: And The Winners Are...
Here
at KryptonSite we set up the 2002 KryptonSite Awards is
honor and recognize the cast and crew of Smallville for jobs well
done.
Fans
were able to vote for the past two months, and the wait is finally
over. The most-voted-for subject was of course Best Actor (2,159
participated), and the least-voted-for subject was Best Director
(754). So why not take a look at the folks and episodes who won
this year's Awards. Thanks again to everyone who participated!
Best Actor: Michael
Rosenbaum
|
What
more can we say? The fans love their "Sexy Lexy,"
and it appears that Michael Rosenbaum's portayal
of the character is worthy of recognition.
Of
the eight actors from Smallville, and despite very
strong showings for many of his cast mates, Michael went
home with 43% of the vote. We don't know yet if those
are just Inquisitor readers that Lex bought off. Kidding,
Michael! Congratulations on the win!
|
Best Guest Star: John
Glover
|
Among
fans, he's the Magnificent something or other. But no one
can deny that John Glover can make even the worst
Smallville episodes worthwhile.
Let's
hope he survives the falling pillar so we can have more
Lionel next season. Glover walks away with 1,092 votes,
or 55%.
One
might argue that Glover is practically a regular on the
series, so for those of you who were wondering who came
in at #2, it was Shawn Ashmore (Eric from "Leech"),
who had 17%.
|
Best Episode: "Nicodemus"
|
This
one won by only ten votes, proving that fans of Kristin
Kreuk's body double beat out the fans of an episode
with a tornado.
Of
course, the excellent writing of the episode, and great
performances by the cast regulars and the guests may have
also had something to do with it. And hey, any episode where
Jonathan Kent listens to the theme song to The Dukes
of Hazzard is okay around these parts.
The
story from "Nicodemus" is credited to Greg
Walker, the teleplay was by Michael Green. James Marshall
directed the episode.
|
Best Writers: Al Gough
& Miles Millar
|
The
creators of Smallville and writers of such episodes
as the pilot, "Metamorphosis," and "Tempest,"
Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, landed at the #1 spot
with over 51% of the vote. It should come as no surprise
that this dynamic duo will be back next season.
Congratulations
are also in order for second-place winner Mark Verheiden
("Rogue," "X-Ray"), who received
21% of the vote.
|
Best Director: Greg
Beeman
|
Greg
Beeman ("Hothead," "Tempest") was
picked as Best Director for the 2001-2002 season of Smallville
-- most likely because the episodes showed his incredible
talent at working episodes around special effects. Whether
it's fiery scenes in "Hothead" or tornados in
"Tempest," Beeman came through and made sure it
all looked great.
Beeman
had 27% of the vote, beating out James Marshall ("Nicodemus,"
"Crush") by only 8 votes!
|
The Lewis And Laura Lang Award For Best Death Scene:
Lewis & Laura Lang
|
Who
else could die and still have their daughter talking about
them fifteen years later on such a constant basis that we
just want to strangle her?
Fans
(32% of them) thought Lewis and Laura Lang
had the best demise on Smallville. Or, maybe they
just voted them in with hopes that Lana will finally get
over it.
|
Grossest Scene: Jodi
And The Deer
|
When
Bambi's mother died you wanted to cry. When Jodi eats the
deer, you just want to hurl.
We'll
spare you a screen capture of this scene from "Craving."
This
one was another close race -- "Bugboy molting"
came at a very close (only 5 votes!) second place.
|
Worst Episode: "Craving"
|
Apparently
the "fat sucking vampire" thing didn't go over
well with fans.
Even
though "Craving" had some great moments
(such as the introduction of Joe Morton as Dr. Hamilton),
the meteor diet episode just wasn't happening. 496 voters,
or 33%, all seemed to agree.
|
Best Special Effect: "Bullet
Time"
|
The
Matrix-style slow motion effect seen in many episodes like
"Hourglass" and "Zero" seemed
to get the best response from fans, even beating out the
meteor shower!
"Bullet
Time" ended up with 35% of the vote. Congratulations
to the special effects crew of Smallville for a job
well done.
|
Best Song: "Save
Me" by Remy Zero
|
Not
only was this song performed in the episode "Tempest,"
but Remy Zero's "Save Me" is also featured
at the start of every episode of Smallville during the opening
credits.
"Save
Me" got 26% of the vote, beating Lifehouse's
"Everything" by 38 votes.

Best Line: Lex Luthor
in "Leech"
|
Boo--
err, Victoria Hardwick's luck has run out. She tried to
con Lex Luthor, but of course, it turned out that he instead
ended up conning her, in a scene that brought out this line:
"You
call sleeping with me business? Tsk. I hate to think what
that makes you."
40%
of voters picked this one, proving that it's either true
that Lex gets the best lines, or people really just wanted
to hear someone say something like that to the brainless
Victoria. After that, Kelly Brook and her bad-Austin Powers-accent
father were never seen again.
|
Best Superman Reference: "Stuff
of Legends"
|
In
the episode "Hug," written by Doris Egan,
Lex Luthor says the following line about his future with
Clark:
"Our
friendship will be the stuff of legends."
Well,
it'll at least be the subject of comics, movies, and slash
fanfiction, as it has been for over sixty years (except
for the slash part). Either way, this one took a whopping
44% of the vote.
|
The Whitney Fordman Award For Best Auto Mishap:
Lex And Clark On The Bridge
|
Poor
Whitney. He gets booted off the show, his car crashes every
other episode, and he still doesn't even win the award that's
named after him.
Rather,
40% of the fans thought Lex driving into Clark and
off the bridge in the Smallville pilot got the top
spot. Who's going to argue with that? Sorry, bro.
|
Most
Underrated Character: Pete
Ross
|
The
poor guy is supposed to be Clark Kent's best friend, but
you'd never know from watching the show. Clark is always
much more interested in fawning over Lana or hanging out
with Lex.
But
we, of course, know that Pete Ross is, can be, and
will so much more. Sam Jones III does a great job playing
the character, and we hear the second season will bring
big, good things for Pete. 46% of those who voted
can't be wrong.
