Cutest Wittle Guy Award - Star

Ruined Disney Musicals Award - Lin Manuel Miranda

This man has set the standard too high for modern Disney musicals. Everything he does is AMAZING. So now, anyone else who does a Disney musical has a rough uphill battle ahead.

George from Aristocats Award - Sabino

We love George and he was the inspiration for Sabino. Does Sabino look one hundred years old? No, but I still see the glimmers of my favorite Disney old man.

I Think That’s the Real Villain Song Award - “At All Costs”

“This is the Thanks I Get?!” is pretty good. But one of the most incredible songs in the movie is when the villain and the hero share a duet. And it is gorgeous! No other song describes better Magnifico and Asha’s motivations. At the same time. Like, wow.
