These are the 2008 Endy Awards, wherein I pretend to give out maneki-neko statues to the best in that year in film. I did one of these five years ago, but things have changed so this is the revision. Awards for many other years can be found in the Endy Awards Index. Eligibility is determined by imdb date and by whether or not I've seen the movie in question. Nominees are listed in alphabetical order and the winners are bolded. And the Endy goes to. . .
