The (half) Year Best of the Best Awards

With only a few months left in the year its time to review the favorites in our movie categories. Based on a survey from OK! Magazine, readers voted on who they want to win. See photos and video below.

Male Star of the Year
Let’s start off with everyone’s favorite guy. The 44-year-old might not have released a movie so far this year but he’s always in our thoughts and magazines! Brad Pitt’s new movie Burn After Reading lands in theaters September 12th.

Female Star of the Year
Where there’s Pitt there’s Jolie. Not only has Angelina Jolie climbed the money tree in Hollywood this year with roles in both Kung Fu Panda and Wanted, but her twins have kept her in the news since January.

Most Scandalous Story
Although Hollywood is always full of surprises and scandals, it was Heath Ledger’s tragic death from a drug overdose that really concerned us. 38.9% of OK! readers thought that the calls his housekeeper made to Mary Kate Olsen before she dialed 911 made it the most scandalous story of the year so far.

Coolest First-Time Mom
Halle Berry gave birth to Nahla in March of this year and has been voted coolest mom. The 41-year-old just edged Nicole Richie and her baby, Harlow, into second place.

Most Entertaining Celebrity Feud
Among all the celebrity battles, Denise Richards and ex-husband Charlie Sheen seem to be the most amusing. It’s rumored that his marriage to Brooke Mueller has “kinda got under her skin” and she’s letting the world know it. As for Sheen, the ‘Two and a Half Men’ star, describes his marriage to Richards as a con and states that he’s been subject to “mind control” and “psychological terrorism” by Richards..oh boy.

All-Star Family of the Year
Watch out Lohans, the Spears family can’t catch a break which has kept on the front pages. Not only have we been immersed in Britney’s meltdowns, showdowns, comebacks and legal battles, but her little sister Jamie Lynn has topped her by getting pregnant at 16!

Villain of the Year
Speaking of Britney, voters have sympathized with her when it comes to her ex-manager, Sam Lutfi. He is being accused of manipulating Britney when she was at her most vulnerable and looked to him for support. Britney’s father soon took over and ousted Lutfi for good.

So there you have it. Let’s see if the list changes by the end of the year. So far, I think the voters are dead on.
