Awards season is in full swing and Decider has you covered. Click here for our coverage on the 2015 Golden Globes.

This Sunday, the 72nd annual Golden Globe Awards will air at 8pm on NBC. While we’re stoked to see how many presenters crack jokes about Amy Pascal and who will take home the major honors of the evening, we wish the nominees (as well as those snubbed), would, for once, get the recognition they deserve. Forget about Best Actor or Best TV Drama, as we all know it depends on who’s coziest with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Here at Decider, we’ve created our own categories we believe accurately reflect the year in film and television. Without further ado, we present to you the winners of Decider’s First Annual Alternative Golden Globe Awards, along with Honorable Mentions we couldn’t bear to leave out.

**BIGGEST LET DOWN, TELEVISION:** *Marco Polo*. 90 million dollars bought Netflix a beautiful, boring series that received the universal review of "Meh, it's okay." HONORABLE MENTIONS: *Gotham*, The Yellow King, *True Detective*, Christopher Walken, *Peter Pan Live!*, and *American Horror Story: Freak Show*.

**BIGGEST LET DOWN, FILM:** *Interstellar*. Only Christopher Nolan could screw up a mega-budget blockbuster starring four Academy Award winners with a script that reads like it was written by a twelve-year-old who *really* loves space. HONORABLE MENTIONS: *This Is Where I Leave You, Exodus: Gods and Kings, Mockingjay: Part II*, and *Dumb and Dumber To.*Photo: Everett Collection

**GOOFIEST DEATH AWARD:** Rose Leslie, *Game of Thrones*, "The Watchers on the Wall". After shooting poor Ygritte through the heart with an arrow, the littlest Stark gave his brother, John, the ol' head nod. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Martin Freeman, *Fargo*, Lorraine Toussaint, *Orange Is the New Black*, "We Have Manners. We're Polite.", Michael Raymond-James, *Once Upon a Time*, "Quiet Minds", and Chevy Chase, *Community*, "Basic Intergluteal Numismatics".

**BEST SEASON FINALE OF THE YEAR:** *Peaky Blinders*. It beat out *Game of Thrones* for a reason, okay? The reason being it made two of us on Team Decider jump out of our seats and cry out in shock. HONORABLE MENTIONS: *Orange Is the New Black*, *Fargo*, *'Transparent*', and *Game of Thrones*. [Stream *Peaky Blinders* on Netflix]Photo: BBC/Netflix

**MOST PROMISING NEWBIE:** Gina Rodriguez, *Jane the Virgin*. Sure, her girl-next-door-appeal is charming, but Rodriguez is mega-talented and *Jane* is just the beginning. We're going to see plenty of this starlet in the future. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Sophie Rundle, *Peaky Blinders*, Noah Wiseman, *The Babadook*, Jack O'Connell, *Starred Up, Unbroken*, and Allison Tolman, *Fargo*.

**THE BEST PUKER OF THE YEAR:** Tie! Woody Harrelson, *True Detective* and Lena Dunham, *Girls*. We couldn't decide between successfully throwing up outside your car, or throwing up down the front of your dress in front of all your co-workers. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Reese Witherspoon, *Wild*, Audiences who watched *The Strain*and *The Knick* (y'all are troopers), and Channing Tatum, *Foxcatcher*.

**MOST UNLIKELY THRILLER:** *Locke*. Tom Hardy sitting in a car and talking on the phone about cement for 90 minutes may not seem like much of a movie at all, but Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight is a genius who turns seemingly boring plot lines into, "Holy shit this is the coolest thing I've ever seen!" HONORABLE MENTIONS: *Kill List*, *Whiplash*, *A Most Violent Year*, and *Blue Ruin*. [Stream *Locke* on Amazon Prime]Photo: Everett Collection

**EPIC SEXUAL FAIL AWAWRD:** Ilana Glazer, Abbi Jacobson, Jason Mantzoukas, and Matt Jones, *Broad City*,' "Fattest Asses." The girls want to pair off but the guys have other plans. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Lena Dunham and Adam Driver, *Girls*, "Role Play", Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, *The Americans,*"Comrades", Gaby Hoffman's trippy threesome gone wrong, *Transparent,*"The Letting Go", and Jenny Slate and Jake Lacy, *Obvious Child*. [Stream *Broad City* on Amazon Prime]Image: Comedy Central

**MOST EMOTIONALLY-PROVOKING SOUNDTRACK:** *Boyhood*. This soundtrack has everything from The Beatles and Bob Dylan to Wilco and The Hives. But when Family of the Year's "Hero" accompanies Mason (Ellar Coltrane) as he hits the road for college, it's almost impossible to choke back the tears. HONORABLE MENTIONS: *Palo Alto*, *Chef*, *Wild*, and *Guardians of the Galaxy*. [Where to stream *Boyhood*]Photo: IFC Films/Everett Collection

**GUEST STAR WE WISH HUNG AROUND LONGER:** Amy Sedaris, *Broad City*, "Apartment Hunters." Sedaris played crazy Pam, who attempted to find Abbi the perfect apartment, and failed. Epically. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Aisha Tyler, *Modern Family*, Mark Cuban, *The League*, Matthew Perry, Parker Posey, and Sarah Silverman, *The Good Wife*, and Donald Glover, *Girls*. [Stream *Broad City*, "Apartment Hunters on Amazon Prime"Image: Comedy Central

**MOST BRILLIANT VILLAIN:** Mr. Babadook, *The Bababook*. If it's in a word or it's in a look, you can't get rid of The Babadook. Dook, dook, dook... HONORABLE MENTIONS: Lorraine Toussaint, *Orange Is the New Black*, Tilda Swinton and the engine, *Snowpiercer*, J.K. Simmons, *Whiplash,* Rosamund Pike (and marriage), *Gone Girl*.

**BEST FULL FRONTAL:** Chris McKinney, *High Maintenance*, "Ruth". A chili-burned penis being cooled in a bowl of milk? T'was a groundbreaking year for the flaccid weenie. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Ben Affleck, *Gone Girl* (the side peen made the list after careful consideration), Scarlett Johansson, *Under the Skin*, Katherine Waterson, *Inherent Vice*, Gaby Hoffman, *Girls*, "She Said OK".

**WORST WIGS**: Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys, <em'The Americans. If anyone can pull off a horrendous wig, it's Keri Russell. Matthew Rhys? Not so much. HONORABLE MENTIONS: Woody Harrelson, *True Detective* Lena Dunham, *Girls*,' "Role Play" Reese Witherspoon,*Wild* Corey Stoll, *'The Strain*.'

**THE MOST INTENSE MOMENT WE WERE NEVER SHOWN:** The "tape," *True Detective*. They say what's left to the imagination is more maddening. The collective choice *not* to show the brutal crime on the VHS Rust Cohle uncovered was one of the most powerful choices creator Nic Pizzolatto could have made. HONORABLE MENTIONS: A close-up of Mr. Babadook, *The Babadook*, The photo of a drugged out Jena Malone, *Inherent Vice*, Ralph Fiennes' and Adrien Brody's death, *The Grand Budapest Hotel*, and Rene Russo's and Jake Gyllenhaal's dirty sex, *Nightcrawler*. [Stream *True Detective* "After You've Gone" on HBO Go]Image: HBO

**THE COOLEST FILM YOU HAVEN'T SEEN YET:** *A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night*. In the spooky, desolate town of Bad City, the scant number of townspeople are disappearing one-by-one, unaware they're being stalked by a vampire who just wants someone to love. From director Ana Lily Amirpour comes the best vampire tale for people who loathe vampire tales. HONORABLE MENTIONS: *Locke*, *Love and Air Sex*, *The One I Love*, and *The Overnighters*.
