Recap post of the year's events, similar to the ones I've done in years past.
Best Blog -
Tim Chalies. Though Grammar Girl is also really good.
Best Country Song of the Year -
No question, it's this super-medley to honor the fiftieth anniversary of the CMA Awards. When it comes to actual songs released this year, there wasn't much good to pick from. But Jake Owen's less-than-creatively-titled "American Country Love Song" and Keith Urban's "Wasted Time" were both pretty good.
Best YouTube Channel -
Studio C wins, though Screen Junkies, makers of "Honest Trailers," is another good candidate.
Best Movie Seen in Theaters -
Captain America: Civil War, hands down. Ben-Hur was fine, as were Rogue One and The Force Awakens.
Best Netflix Documentary -
The Price of Gold, about the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan fiasco, was a really good one, and I Know That Voice! is my favorite documentary of all time, but both of those were pulled from Netflix this year. Grr. But Top Spin, following a quartet of teenagers trying to make the U.S. London 2012 Olympic table tennis team, was a great one.
Weirdest Skill Learned -
How to apply theater makeup, during prep week right before Tent City opened. I was able to do my own after one explanation from our makeup artist. Also, how to tie a ponytail correctly was another odd trick learned.
