The
2003 KryptonSite Awards: The Winners Revealed!
Last
year as the 2001-2002 season ended, we presented the 2002
KryptonSite Awards honoring the cast and crew of Smallville
for a job well done. Think the Oscars or the Emmys, but just for
Smallville.
After Season 2 was over, we asked again who the favorites were,
and had fans send in their nominees,
which were whittled down to five or six per category. Then throughout
this summer, we've had people vote.
The
results are in. Here they are:
Best Actor: Michael
Rosenbaum
|
For
the second year in a row, Michael Rosenbaum has run
away with the award for Best Actor.
11,059
people voted (!), and of that many people, Michael received
3,447 votes - or 31%. "Lex" better watch
his back, though -- castmate Tom Welling took the number
2 spot with only 375 votes fewer than everyone's favorite
bald baddie.

Best Guest Star: Christopher
Reeve
|
To
a generation, Christopher Reeve was Superman. Now,
with his perseverance with continuing to live and find a
way to walk again after a paralyzing accident in 1995, Reeve
truly is a Superman.
Reeve
appeared as Dr. Virgil Swann in "Rosetta," in
what will be remembered as one of the best scenes of the
series. As the role was left open-ended, we can hope that
Dr. Swann will be back in the future, to offer the young
Clark guidance in the future ahead.
|
Best Guest Star Who Is Not Christopher Reeve:
Ryan Kelley
|
Ryan
Kelley ("Ryan") took the award for Best Guest
Star Who Is Not Christopher Reeve with 1,663 votes, or 33%
of the vote. Sadly because his character died, it's doubtful
that Ryan will be returning to Smallville, but we
wish him the best of luck in the future.
Ryan's
closest runner-up with 1,390 votes was Emmanuelle Vaugier
(Dr. Helen Bryce).
|
Best Episode: "Rosetta"
|
1,443
of those who voted thought "Rosetta" was
the best episode of Season Two.
The
episode had Clark learning a lot about his origins, had
great foreshadowing towards his Superman legacy, and featured
a great guest appearance by former Superman Christopher
Reeve. 39% agreed it was tops. The episode was a great jumping
on point for a new viewer and is hopefully a sign of many
episodes to come.
At
more than 500 votes lower, at a distant second, was "Calling,"
part one of the two-part season finale.
|
Best Writers: Al Gough
& Miles Millar
|
Nearly
two-thirds of those who voted decided that the creators
of Smallville, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar,
deserved the #1 spot. The duo wrote or had a hand in
writing many Season Two favorites, including "Vortex,"
"Rosetta," and "Lineage."
Coming
in at second place with 15% was comic book fave and "Red"
and "Insurgence" writer Jeph Loeb.
|
Best Director: James
Marshall
|
James
Marshall, who missed out on last year's Best Director
spot by only 8 votes, came out on top this year, most likely
due to the fantastic looks of episodes like "Accelerate"
and "Rosetta." 43% of voters picked Marshall
for the top spot.
The
number two spot, at 30%, goes to Greg Beeman, who directed
the season premiere and finale, among other episodes.
|
The Lewis And Laura Lang Award For Best Death Scene:
Ryan James in "Ryan"
|
Getting
Best Guest Star wasn't enough for that Ryan kid... nope...
he had to go and have Best Death Scene too, so we can reminded
of the shock the Smallville characters felt when
the boy who could read minds passed on. The death of Ryan
James had 690 votes, or 26%.
Second
place (22%) went to the death of Dr. Walden in "Calling."
|
Grossest Scene: Clark
And Lana Profess Their Love
|
Last
year's grossest scene was a girl eating a deer. This year's
grossest scene -- or at least the most cringe-worthy to
866 people, or 29% -- was the scene where Clark and
Lana profess their love for one another right before Clark
heads off to Metropolis in "Exodus."
Proving
there may be a lot of Clark/Lana shippers out there, but
there's a pretty vocal amount of people out there who get
nauseous from the Clana, especially considering they thought
*this* was grosser than duplicating JTT's.
The
#2 choice for Grossest, with 762 votes, was Tina Greer getting
impaled in "Visage."
|
Worst Episode: "Redux"
|
Yep,
this one had "filler episode" written all over
it.
"Redux"
was actually filmed immediately after the first season
finale, "Tempest." Trying to find a place to put
it was a challenge, and for example, one might wonder why
the Kents are so strapped for money if Martha just started
a new job.
Even
Clark in a bathing suit couldn't save this one. Maybe that's
why 33%, or 714 people, agreed it was a stinker.
|
Best Special Effect: Speeding
Through The Rain In "Accelerate"
|
Stand
up if you didn't think Clark running through the stopped
rain in "Accelerate" was cool.
Anyone...?
Bueller...?
Didn't
think so. This fantastic effect beat out super-speed, super-jumping,
heat vision, and spaceships. It was just that good. 2,209
people, or 59%, can't be wrong.
|
Best Song: "Superman:
The Movie" Score by John Williams, performed by Mark
Snow
|
Admit
it. It was just darn cool to hear the score from "Superman:
The Movie" in such episodes as "Rosetta"
and "Exodus." Mark Snow's arrangement worked perfectly
with the usual sound of the show, and it really made you
feel like you were watching a show about the guy who's going
to grow up to be Superman.
1,096
people, or 37%, placed it up this high. The second-place
song barely achieved *half* of that.

the "Superman: The Movie" score on CD!
|
Best Line: The Birthmark
|
This
was another close one, with the winner being on top by only
15 votes! Coming in with 26% was this exchange of
dialogue from the episode "Red":
Clark:
"Did you know that Chloe had a birthmark on her
cheek?" Pete: "No she doesn't."
Clark: "Not that cheek."
And
if you're curious, the #2 line was "It says 'This is
Kal-El of Krypton. Our infant son, our last hope. Please
protect him and deliver him from evil'," as said by
Dr. Swann (Christopher Reeve) in "Rosetta." As
if "Rosetta" didn't pick up enough awards ;-)
|
Best Superman Reference: John
Williams Score in "Rosetta"
|
Another
very close one... winning by only 13 votes, fans voted the
placement of the "Superman: The Movie" score in
episodes like "Rosetta" and "Exodus"
as being the Best Superman Reference of the season.
Coming
in second place was the "S" burned onto Clark's
chest in "Exodus."
|
The Whitney Fordman Award For Best Auto Mishap:
Pete And Chloe Drive Off A Cliff
|
In
"Suspect," Pete and Clark took a cue from Clark's
dad's Dukes of Hazzard days and nearly ran into a
truck, leading them to a big leap into a field. Pete's car
then blew up.
One
episode later, in "Rush," Pete had another car
that looked just like the previous one, but painted another
color, and he and Chloe, under the influence of meteor worms,
decide to make like it's Hazzard County again.
Luckily
Clark caught them before they hit the ground. Anyhow, this
one was the winner, with 32% of the vote. That Dukes
homage from the week before came in second, with 30%.
|
Best
Performance By A Body Double: Clark's
Butt
|
A
screen capture of this went all over the Internet before
"Witness" ever aired, surely a purposeful leak.
The scene was gratuitous, and people asked "is it?"
It
wasn't. But, Clark's Butt joins Lana's Nicodemus Body Double
among the ranks of the performances of body doubles on Smallville.
And with that, the 2003 KryptonSite Awards are revealed....
