The 4th Annual Halfway Awards: Long Lists

It is that time of the year again, and man how time flies! Six months have gone by, and it is now time for The Awards Psychic to present the 4th Annual Awards Psychic Awards. These are for the films released between January 1st and June 30th. This year's selection would be better if, say for example, Beasts of the Southern Wild had been released anywhere near me. But alas, there are still plenty of choices, and here are the long lists of contenders for each category. If you think of some that are missing (although for me it may be that it hasn't been released near me, like the aforementioned Beasts of the Southern Wild), let me know in the comment section!

  1. Seth MacFarlane wasn't alone in writing Ted, he had Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild of Family Guy to help him.
