Best Eclipse Release
Nikkatsu Noir

Multimedia essay by Tag Gallagher, The Taking of Power by Louis XIV
Best Cover
Wise Blood

Last Year at Marienbad
Best (Re)Discovery
The Golden Age of Television -- Probably the most fun of their "special interest" releases too. The cast and crew's enthusiasm was catching.
Most Disappointing Release
Bergman Island -- The full three-parter would have but nice but mostly for the content redundancy with Seventh Seal. It's nice for those who didn't upgrade but won't anyone think of the completists?

Thankfully I may be spared the embarrassment, painful stretching and uncomfortable priapism that such an honor bestows, not to mention the requirement of having to display said bangle during an honorary tickertape parade through my hometown! (Plus it is snowing again at the moment, so it isn't quite the weather for nude parades even if I wasn't feeling modest)
Thanks HerrSchreck! I'll stop bugging you now with my grovelling apologies! I'll just quietly sit over here in the corner after once again mentioning that "I'm an extraordinarily harmless person, in fact"
