Contest: ENTER Creating the "1st Annual Disco Awards"

[Lord Garth]

We should create an Annual Disco Awards Ceremony. Just a fun, little thing.

I want to put together different categories:

Best Episode
Worst Episode

Best Actor
Best Actress

Best Main Character
Best Supporting Character

Best Scene
Worst Scene

Best Line
Worst Line

"Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera," as Yul Brenner would say.

And in the event of a tie, I need two co-judges where we'll decide on a two-thirds vote on how to break the tie. If you're interested in becoming a Judge, please notify me by PM.

Feel free to suggest additional categories. Though I can't promise they'll all be used. Again, that would be based on a two-thirds vote from the judges.

What do you think? Is this something you'd be interested in? If this works, I want to do this every year, for each season.

UPDATE: Succubint is now a Judge! Just need one more.

 

[Succubint]

How about best death/worst death as potential categories?

 

[gblews]

Yes, good idea for a thread.

How about:

Best Use of Technobabble
Best Traditionally Star Trek Scene or Moment
Best Traditionally Sci Fi Story (or Storyline)
Best Real Science Concept
Best Character Scene

 

[Orac]

Suggestions for themes:

Most gratuitous scene.
Best Incongruity.
Best Anachronism.
Best "homage".
Best "homage" to something already done on Star Trek.
Best canon violation.

 

[Lord Garth]

UPDATE: Kidding aside, Orac is now the third judge!

 

[SpocksOddSocks]

I don't know about all categories. Maybe there should just be one - best actor.

I'd like to nominate ....

[BillJ]

Most Fanwank? It would probably be the toughest category to judge.

 

[Lord Garth]

I'll throw a bone. "Most Fan-Servicey Moment". You only get to vote once, though.

Also:

Best Effect
Worst Effect (which probably overuses blue. )

Best Homage/Callback
Worst Homage/Callback

 

[BillJ]

You only get to vote once, though.

 

[shapeshifter]

Best creation of space-faring lifeforms. (Tardigrade and Goremander)

 

[seigezunt]

Most Insufferable gatekeeper

 

[Mad Jack Wolfe]

Most Implausible Race Reassignment
Best Recipe for Kelpians As An Appetiser or Entree
Most Costume Changes By A Vulcan In a Single Episode (This gets the Stevie Nicks trophy)

 

[Orac]

Most Insufferable gatekeeper

If I undertand the term correctly would this award go to a trekbbs poster? If so I approve, and will also add the following suggestions:

Vilest post. (about Star Trek Discovery)
Best grammar. (in a post about STD)
Worst spelling. (in a post about Disco)
Most incoherent post. (about DIS)
Most obtuse poster. (in a thread about Star Trek D)

 

[Lord Garth]

The ex-mod in me wants to go "post not poster". I think we should stick to the show. Otherwise, things can go wrong really fast. That's not up for a vote.

 

[SpocksOddSocks]

How about: Most annoying monologue.

Best underuse of the colour blue (OK , I can only think of one example of this - the inexplicable orangeness of the "O-type star" in episode 4).

 

[Jinn]

Most Insufferable gatekeeper

Walter Harriman of the Stargate Center vs. Peter Grodin of the Atlantis Expedition?

I can't decide, I like both.

 

[Tenacity]

Best Picard-like aimlessly wandering optimistic speech.

Best battle on the main screen where you can't tell what's going on.

Most obviously lead up to a plot twist.

 

[Vger23]

Best line spoken in Klingon

The Golden Mushroom Award for someone who can actually explain the spore drive to me in a way that makes sense.

The Edward Jellco Award for the greatest "Lorca is a prick Captain" moment
