2025 Golden Goblin Awards

We need your vote for Best Douchebag

The Academy Award nominations came out last week, with Emilia Perez leading the charge with a baker’s dozen of noms. All this for a movie that even Selena Gomez’s mom had to pretend to like.

Fortunately, my third edition of the Golden Goblins are here, so we can recognize some under-celebrated cinema of the past year. Favorite categories return, such as Best Douchebag, along with new entrants like Best Age-Gap Relationship.
