BEST COMEDY OR MUSICAL was a bit of a quieter category this year, due to this the winner was clear, winning by over double the votes. This seasons winner is Buffy The Vampire Slayer, written by Walter McKnight and Directed by Cathy Yan. Congratulations!!!

BEST SUPERHERO / ACTION / ADVENTURE this season as well as past seasons is a tight voting process. However it did lead to our first R rated film winning this award. This season the winner is ... THE PUNISHER written by Dwight Gallo and Directed by S Craig Zahler.

For some reason the last few awards didn't pop up when I did them originally so I will do them again. The Ledger is given to best performance by an actor 35 years of age or younger. This year the award is given to LRF nominee Lakeith Stanfield for his performance in the character study Drawing Dion.

The Quiver is given to the best writer at LRF in that season. All films from said writer must be above 70. This season 3 writers qualified. John Malone for Caesar and Lowell, Matt Parker for Sleeping Beauties and Dwight Gallo for The Punisher and Cocaine Cowboys. Almost unanimously Dwight Gallo won this award. Earning 18 nominations at the GRA's for 2 films in a season is amazing and I dare say will never be replicated. Congratulations on earning the Quiver Dwight Gallo.
