Comics Invade the ’08 Scream Awards
Each year, Spike TV airs the Scream Awards, sort of what would happen if the Oscars and the MTV Movie Awards had a baby, and that baby grew up and is now in it’s rebellious teenage phase. The award categories started off in 2006 mostly covering the horror genre, but they now cater too all things film, TV and the ever-growing categories pertaining to comic books. While there is no “Academy” per se, they are all up online for the fans to vote for their favorites here. Catch the ceremony and see if your vote counts on October 21 at 9 p.m. on Spike TV, but for now, you can check out the complete list of nominees after the jump, and remember to vote for Dark Knight as much as possible, because with 21 nominations, that movie needs as much help as it can get.
