The Obsessies! Our Awards for the Best, Worst, and WTF-est in Pop Culture

Being a pop culture obsessive goes hand-in-hand with a compulsive, enthusiastic fascination—one could say, preoccupation—with award shows. (We’d venture that we’re not alone in having encyclopedic knowledge of Oscar winners for Best Supporting Actress before we could name all the state capitals.)

So last year, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the launch of The Daily Beast’s Obsessed, we debuted our own version of awards, The Obsessies, that reflected the site’s take on TV, movies, celebrities, and all the mayhem that whirls about in between. Believe it or not, a whole year, a lot of entertainment news, and about 47 new versions of Taylor Swift albums have passed: It’s time for our second annual Obsessies.

Below, you’ll find an incredibly silly and equally fun list of categories and winners reflecting back on the things from this last year that excited us the most and made us the most passionate. It runs the gamut from serious to ridiculous. We’re as proud to acknowledge the creative brilliance of shows like Ripley and Shōgun as we are to pay tribute to Manny Jacinto’s arms and Julianne Moore’s grave concern about having enough hot dogs.
