Synopsis

Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films dominated in the first few years of the Cosmique Movie Awards, and he has continued to dominate with his return to Middle Earth. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug received 12 nominations, making it the most nominated film 2013 and the third most nominated film in a single year for Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth films. (Return of the King received 26 nominations, The Two Towers received 21, and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey received 11. The Fellowship of the Ring also received 11 nominations the year it was released, but with 3 Lifetime Achievement nominations now has a total of 15 nods.)

With The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug’s nominations, all five to date of Peter Jackson’s Middle Earth films have been nominated for Best Film, Best Director (Peter Jackson), and Best Supporting Actor (Ian McKellen).

But the top award for film of the year went to 12 Years a Slave, which also won Best Actor (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and Actress (Lupita Nyong’o), Best Drama, and Best Historical Film. The Lion in Winter was inducted into the Best Films of All Time Hall of Fame, as were Joan Crawford and Morgan Freeman in the Best Actor/Actress categories and Bette Midler and Bill Murray in the respective comedic categories.

Chloë Grace Moretz received four individual nominations this year, two each for Carrie (2013) and Kick-Ass 2, making her the most individually nominated person for the 2013 Awards. She’s followed by Jennifer Lawrence with three nominations for American Hustle and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. With ensemble nominations factored in, Benedict Cumberbatch and Jennifer Lawrence were the most nominated people of 2013 with five total nominations each (two individual and three ensemble nominations for Cumberbatch, three individual and two ensemble for Lawrence).

The Young Actor or Actress Award that had been revived in 2012 was split this year (and forevermore) into separate male and female categories. The winners were Sophie Nélisse for The Book Thief and Tye Sheridan for Mud.

The Best Science Fiction/Fantasy Award was also split forevermore. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug won Best Fantasy Film while Gravity won for Best Science Fiction Film.

This was also an unusual year for posthumous nominations. Philip Seymour Hoffman was nominated for Best Actor of All Time Lifetime Achievement Hall of Fame, and Paul Walker was nominated for Favorite Male Heroic Character for Hours. Hoffman previously won Best Actor for Capote. This was Walker’s first nomination.
