A series of best-guesses, theories, and wishful thinking about some of this year's nominees.
Who will win? Who will lose? Who was robbed? With the 2011 VGAs airing tomorrow night, I have opinions and wish to make you read them. You can check out the full list of nominees on the Spike VGAs site.
If ______ doesn't win, I'm going to burn this place down! ("Best Performance by a Human Male" Edition)
The lineup of voice actor competition is pretty rich for this year's VGAs, and as much as I hate to draw any attention away from the excellent J.K. Simmons and his work in Portal 2, Mark Hamill is simply the hands-down winner for this year for his role as the Joker in Arkham City.
