Weirdest vocal performance: Blake Lively in “The Age of Adaline.” Don’t try talking like you’re very old. Just don’t.
Runner-up: Joseph Gordon-Levitt in “The Walk. His French was good. His English with a French accent, not so much.
Proof that Peter Pan movies need to stop: “Pan.” If this doesn’t shut it down, I don’t know what will.
Best use of Channing Tatum: “Magic Mike XXL.” The movie’s great; give it a chance.
Worst use of Channing Tatum: “Jupiter Ascending.” There is so much wrong with this movie and his (part-dog) character and just everything here.
Best movie being talked about everywhere: “Spotlight.” My No. 2 of the year. Might win Best Picture. I hope it does.
Worst Julianne Moore movie: “Freeheld.” Would not have expected this to win the title.
Runner-up: “Seventh Son.” Yep, this looked much worse. And was still very bad.
More proof that Kristen Stewart is talented and you need to stop complaining about her: “Clouds of Sils Maria.” Watch it and you’ll see.
Movie I can’t believe I loved: “The Last Five Years.” It’s a musical. Normally that is a problem.
Movie that was exactly as bad as everyone expected: “Entourage.” Actually, it was worse.
Most undeserved failure: “We Are Your Friends.” I liked it. Did you?
Stars you didn’t think could be bad together: Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. You didn’t see “Serena,” and you shouldn’t. They’re better in “Joy,” but that’s not good either. Rough.
Movie that made me cry: “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl.” Hadn’t happened in decades, so kind of a big deal.
Star finally getting the attention she deserves: Brie Larson. “Room” is good. She’s incredible in it.
Star who deserves more attention for an underrated performance: Jason Segel. Please catch up with “The End of the Tour.” You won’t regret it.
Best guitar playing: “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Like there was any doubt.
