I'm here Atreides!

So it is time to find out what we all thought we all thought was the best of the best of the best, sir!

Alright enough with the quotes lets get to it. This usually takes about 3 hours but I will do my best to get it down to 2. Will have to keep the microphone away from Adrien Brody. But if I go over, I promise I won't cut off the broadcast early like Hulu did last night (more like FUlu mirite?) I'll go in reverse order as usual. Best Needle Drop up first,

He won't waste time!!

This was added last year for a little bit of fun at the end of the ballot and I think its succeeded thus far. Though the votes were all over the place this year unlike last year where a few songs were the clear favorites.

Best Needle Drop AKA Best Use of a Non-Original Song

All Too Well by Taylor Swift from The Fall Guy
Baby One More Time by Jack Black (originally performed by Britney Spears) from Kung Fu Panda 4
Bye Bye Bye by NSYNC from Deadpool and Wolverine
Like A Prayer by Madonna from Deadpool and Wolverine

Only four songs got more than one vote so those are the four we're going with. There would be an endless amount of close calls.

Lets have a laugh
