Ahead of a huge night of film awards in Los Angeles this weekend, Showcase Cinemas has hosted an awards ceremony of its own, with film fans casting their votes in three categories via social media.
Cinephiles were invited to vote for the best duo from 2024, best villain and best film from the previous year.
Best Duo saw Elisabeth and Sue from The Substance triumph over iconic partnerships like Godzilla X Kong and Deadpool & Wolverine, proving that this powerful on-screen pairing left a lasting impression on audiences.
In the Best Villain category, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice made a triumphant return, snatching the title from sinister competition including Longlegs, Terrifier 3 and Abigail, cementing the character as one of cinema’s most beloved, and feared, once again.
Meanwhile, the most coveted award, Best Film, was claimed by Deadpool & Wolverine, with Marvel’s action-packed adventure fending off Dune: Part Two, Gladiator II and Wicked to take the top spot as the fans’ favourite.
The Winners:
· Best Duo: Elisabeth and Sue – The Substance
· Best Villain: Beetlejuice – Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
· Best Film: Deadpool & Wolverine
