MOVIE OF THE YEAR
American Sniper
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Guardians of the Galaxy
Gone Girl
The Fault in Our Stars
Boyhood
Whiplash
Selma

Our pick: Gone Girl

Probably the most difficult choice on the list, but it had to be made, right? When we think about the Movie of the Year award, we have to take into consideration which film had us at the edge our seats throughout the entire thing. Author and screenwriter Gillian Flynn kept audiences on their toes with the twists and turns in her widely praised book, and those ideas translated perfectly to film.

BEST FEMALE PERFORMANCE
Jennifer Lawrence – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Emma Stone – Birdman
Shailene Woodley – The Fault in Our Stars
Reese Witherspoon – Wild
Scarlett Johansson – Lucy

Our pick: Reese Witherspoon

Emma Stone’s performance as a recovering drug addict in Birdman is one to be reckoned with, but it doesn’t hold a torch to Reese Witherspoon’s awe-inspiring portrayal  in Wild. As Cheryl Strayed, the respected author and real-life inspiration behind the film, Reese literally brought us to tears as she embarked on a gritty journey through the Pacific Crest Trail — the ultimate testament to will and courage.

BEST MALE PERFORMANCE
Bradley Cooper – American Sniper
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy
Ansel Elgort – The Fault in Our Stars
Miles Teller – Whiplash
Channing Tatum – Foxcatcher

Our pick: Bradley Cooper

Bradley went rogue for his role as U.S Navy SEAL and American sniper Chris Kyle. We’d be kidding ourselves to say his unsympathetic and ruthless representation as Kyle wasn’t one of the year’s most powerful. Though we're going Cooper for our official pick, we wouldn’t be surprised (or too offended) if Miles Teller took home the prize for his acclaimed role in Whiplash.

BEST SCARED-AS-S---T PERFORMANCE
Rosamund Pike – Gone Girl
Annabelle Wallis – Annabelle
Jennifer Lopez – The Boy Next Door
Dylan O’Brien – The Maze Runner
Zach Gilford – The Purge: Anarchy

Our pick: Zach Gilford

Umm… The Purge movies scare the living crap out of us. Like seriously, let's be thankful that the annual purge is merely a fictional system, because last year’s flick had us holding back screams.

BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE
Ansel Elgort – The Fault in Our Stars
Rosamund Pike  – Gone Girl
David Oyelowo – Selma
Dylan O’Brien – The Maze Runner
Ellar Coltrane – Boyhood

Our pick: Ansel Elgort

Ansel stole our hearts and never really did give them back after his portrayal of Augustus Waters, a bone cancer patient who loses one of his legs to the illness, in last year’s The Fault in Our Stars. Although we love seeing him in the Divergent series, even we have to admit that this was one of the strongest performances in his career.

BEST SHIRTLESS PERFORMANCE
Zac Efron – Neighbors
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy
Channing Tatum – Foxcatcher
Ansel Elgort – The Fault in Our Stars
Kate Upton – The Other Woman

Our pick: Zac Efron

This was such a close one between Zac and Chris. It's obvious that Chris has the body of a god and there’s nothing we wouldn’t give to touch him in real life over and over again, but Zac’s signature abs have never gone out of style. And if there’s anything we didn’t mind while watching him in Neighbors, it was every time we got a peek at Zac’s happy trail and those beefy muscles! And how’s about we give Kate her much-deserved honorable mention, too, for being the only female to make the list. You go, girl!

BEST DUO
Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill – 22 Jump Street
Zac Efron and Dave Franco – Neighbors
Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort – The Fault in Our Stars
Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel – Guardians of the Galaxy
James Franco and Seth Rogen – The Interview

Our pick: Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel

Another toughie on the list, because we think the infectious chemistry between Shailene and Ansel played out so well onscreen. Still, we have to give it to Bradley and Vin, who brought their animated bounty-hunting characters to life in Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket Raccoon and Groot had the funniest, most adorable and sentimental camaraderie, which is exactly why we think these two buds should definitely take home the prize.

BEST FIGHT
Jonah Hill vs. Jillian Bell – 22 Jump Street
Chris Evans vs. Sebastian Stan – Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Dylan O’Brien vs. Will Poulter – The Maze Runner
Seth Rogen vs. Zac Efron – Neighbors
Edward Norton vs. Michael Keaton – Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

Our pick: Dylan O’Brien vs. Will Poulter

If you haven’t watched the next mind-blowing dystopian flick to make it to the big screen, The Maze Runner, starring Teen Wolf’s Dylan O’Brien as the lead, you are insane! Those action-packed scenes were so intense and had us biting at our fingernails. Forgive us Captain America, but when it comes to best fight, we’re going with Will and Dylan’s one-on-one face-off.

BEST KISS
Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley – The Fault in Our Stars
James Franco and Seth Rogen – The Interview
Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone – The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans – Captain America: The Winter Soldier
Rose Byrne and Halston Sage – Neighbors

Our pick: Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone

We think it’s safe to say that that rooftop kiss scene was definitely… unique, for lack of a better word. But isn’t that what makes it the best on this list? What’s more romantic than having Spider-Man as your boyfriend?! Nothing comes to mind. Once again, Shailene and Ansel come in as a close second, but we’re still waiting for someone to kiss us the way Peter does Gwen in the movie.

BEST WTF MOMENT
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne – Neighbors
Jonah Hill – 22 Jump Street
Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day – Horrible Bosses 2
Miles Teller – Whiplash
Rosario Dawson and Anders Holm – Top Five

Our pick: Miles Teller

Probably one of the most talked about movie moments this year occurred between Miles Teller and J.K. Simmons. (Just look at all the wins Whiplash picked up at the Golden Globes and Oscars this year.) That crazy “rushing or dragging” scene is what really sold us on the wild chemistry between these two, but Teller’s reflexes and reactions to J.K.’s crazy character throwing that chair at his head deserves all the recognition.

BEST VILLAIN
Rosamund Pike – Gone Girl
J.K. Simmons – Whiplash
Jillian Bell – 22 Jump Street
Meryl Streep – Into the Woods
Peter Dinklage – X-Men: Days of Future Past

Our pick: Rosamund Pike

If you’ve seen (or read) Gone Girl already, then you know just why we had to go with Rosamund as our best villain. She demonstrates all the classic characteristics of a “good” villain: clever, calculating, manipulative. Though the same could be said about Meryl’s role as The Witch in Into the Woods, Rosamund’s role has a very femme-fatale spark to it that makes her the biggest threat in this category.

BEST MUSICAL MOMENT
Jennifer Lawrence – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy
Seth Rogen and Zac Efron – Neighbors
Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig – The Skeleton Twins
Miles Teller – Whiplash

Our pick: Chris Pratt

Okay, so we know this category is more about the music moments, but Chris Pratt had us rolling around in laughter with his music numbers in Guardians of the Galaxy. There’s something irresistible about a man that can bust a move to “Come and Get Your Love” and effortlessly fight the forces of evil while doing it.

BEST COMEDIC PERFORMANCE
Channing Tatum – 22 Jump Street
Chris Pratt – Guardians of the Galaxy
Rose Byrne – Neighbors
Chris Rock – Top Five
Kevin Hart – The Wedding Ringer

Our Pick: Chris Pratt

We’ve got to give it to Chris Pratt on this one, too! Our stomachs still ache every time we watch Peter’s dance-off scene in Guardians of the Galaxy because it was so unexpectedly weird and out of place that it really never fails as one of the funniest scenes of the film. Though Kevin Hart’s timeless humor in The Wedding Ringer is a strong contender in this category as well, we’ve put our money on the Star-Lord.

BEST ON-SCREEN TRANSFORMATION
Eddie Redmayne – The Theory of Everything
Elizabeth Banks – The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1
Zoe Saldana – Guardians of the Galaxy
Steve Carell – Foxcatcher
Ellar Coltrane – Boyhood

Our pick: Steve Carell

Say what you want about his role as the maniac John E. du Pont, but Steve’s performance was just as bone chilling as his transformation. He’s barely recognizable not only physically but also in his drastic transition into the crazed wrestling fanatic who develops a very questionable relationship with Olympic wrestling champion Mark Schultz. The role was like no other Steve has ever taken on — a notable risk that makes him deserving of the award!
