2008s

It's that time again - the time where I share a few of my favourite things from 2008. Here goes!

Andi's 2008 Film of the Year

The Dark Knight - There really wasn't going to be any other, was there? I actually spent the first 20 minutes of my first viewing worried that The Dark Knight wasn't going up to the hype. I was actually scared. I had nothing to worry about - it was superb.

Other notable films of the year: Juno and Iron Man. Yeah, another superhero film. Very unlike me.

Andi's 2008 TV Series of the Year

Lost - It's back. After a poor second half to season 2, and an even poorer start to season 3 (improving later on), season 4 was totally awesome. Like season 1 quality awesome. Only another couple of seasons of this left, but it'll be good to finally know all the answers!

Andi's 2008 Music Album of the Year

Kings of Leon - Only By The Night - Toughie this one. There's been so many good albums throughout the year, but the only one that really sticks in my head is the new Kings of Leon album. It's pretty damn good though. Coldplay's new album is also worth a (large) mention.

Andi's 2008 Music Single of the Year

Estelle - American Boy - I'm sorry, but I love this song. It's a now public guilty secret. I love it so much it was my favourite song of 2008. Yes, I don't care what that makes me. I LOVE THIS SONG. Kaiser Chief's "Never Miss A Beat" was a close second, and has quickly promoted itself to my favourite Kaiser song.

Andi's 2008 Game of the Year

Fable 2 - Xbox 360 - Totally awesome. Fable 2 is a British RPG where you can choose between the path of good or evil. To quote someone at work when I told them I was taking the good path: "only someone like you could be as nice in a video game as you are in real life." I have a pixellated conscience, what can I say?

Andi's 2008 Celebrity of the Year

Barack Obama - The president elect, Barack Obama. If he does everything he says he will, America will be a better place!

Andi's 2008 Celeb Babe of the Year

Mila Kunis - So, I managed to convince Amy to come and see Forgetting Sarah Marshall with me, despite the possibility of my drooling over 2006's winner Kristen Bell.

Except I didn't, I drooled over Mila Kunis instead. She's hot, and therefore wins this year's celeb babe of the year. Amy continues to win the non-celeb award.

Andi's 2008 Formula 1 Driver of the Year

Robert Kubica - So good, he doesn't need a powerful car to win. Believe me when I say Canada is just the beginning.

Andi's 2008 Craze of the Year

Twitter - And it's getting bigger everyday! When I joined, I didn't know many people using it, now it seems a week doesn't go by without someone else I know joining!
