The Scotties Awards 2018!

Hello ladies, gentleman, binary and non. Welcome to the first ever and maybe annual awards I am now issuing on my blog. The Scotties are just imaginary awards I will give out to the best things I have read, listened to, seen, played etc of the past year.

What a year, so many up's and downs in all media's so without further ado; 

Let The Scotties Awards begin!

(All winners will receive this image which will be available to download after the show/post of course. :P )

Scotties Spotify Top Song Of The Year: So I love music but who doesn't and this year we have been presented with so many tunes and Spotify has kindly helped me in piecing together 3 contenders for my top song of the year and this could mean one of these 3 songs I have listened to the most this year. The nominations are: The Guess Who - Laughing, Jaroslav Beck - $100 Bills and Hugh Jackman & Zac Efron - The Other Side. And the winner is...........THE OTHER SIDE BY HUGH JACKMAN AND ZAC EFRON APART OF THE GREATEST SHOWMAN SOUNDTRACK! A huge surprise hit of the year both film and music wise as it took the nation and our cinemas by storm a well deserved winner.

Scotties New Fave Band Of The Year: So many bands old and new have come into my life this year and well as hard as it is to pick a winner out of so many this award goes to the band I have listened to most and this goes to the mighty SABATON!

Scotties Most Listened To Album Of The Year: Many choices here but the one which sticks out the most that I have listened to is my boys of 21 Pilots with their newest album TRENCH! 

Scotties Meme Of The Year: Another year has passed and so has so many memorable, funny and cringey memes but one stuck out the most to me and made the most impact this year and that is.....UGANDAN KNUCKLES! 

Scotties Game Of The Year: Oh this is the big one here with so many contenders this year I will admit I only play PS4 but don't worry I will also have a PS4 exclusive category next up. Right with so many heavy hitting games this year it's a tough choice however the winner is.......RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2! 

Scotties PS4 Game Of The Year: So many heavy hitting contenders here and of course no doubts here that PS4 had the best year in gaming and has the best exclusives but up for this exciting award are the following amazing games: Detroit Become Human, God Of War and Spiderman. These games are all winners let me say that first of all but out of them my fave exclusive this year was.......SPIDER-MAN! 

Scotties Multiplayer Game Of The Year: Not going to lie but this choice was incredibly easy to make granted that i have spent almost 400 hours on the game this year with my bessie mates Jared and James and the winner of course is........FORTNITE!

Scotties TV Show Of The Year: I admit I don't watch many tv shows anymore but this award goes to.....THE FLASH!

Scotties Actor Of The Year: So many amazing actors but one actor I have seen the most this year and has delivered on every performance and there's one that stands out the most and this award goes to the wearer of the Infinity Gauntlet himself......JOSH BROLIN!

Scotties Actress Of The Year: Just like the best actor category this year we have seen amazing talented actresses and again for me the one who stood out most is.......TESSA THOMPSON!

Scotties Film Of The Year: So many amazing films this year such as Game Night, A Quiet Place, Upgrade, The Shape Of Water, Bohemian Rhapsody, Searching, Bumblebee, Into the Spiderverse, Infinity War and Deadpool 2 to name but a few of the best we have had this year and so with all of these in mind my overall winner should come to no surprise because of how much love and praise I gave it earlier this year and it was not me either that gave this film a lot of praise, critics and academies alike gave it many awards and without further babbling from me the winner is......THE SHAPE OF WATER!

Now as the awards draw to a close, It's time to do some quick fire awards!

Arthur's POV - A Gaming Poem

Pursued by a Memory, A Deer i see when i sleep apart of the wolves one of the clan,

Unusual sights, mysterious people, on the run escaping our ego's, We're wise men outlawed for wanting more, Botching a simple job we ran for the hills, leaving our gold in hope for freedom and more,

May I stand an pay a social call, to get the money back from those who owe,

May i stand revolver at my side, Ready to pull, ready to die,

May i stand tall and grow,

This is the new south, The deer stands alone wild and free as our clan grows bigger as our bellies are double to feed, A man i once tried to kill and mistreated saved my life, 

My sweet lost flame has returned to my arms seeking a man i'm not but secretly am, 

It's an honest mistake to make, I've got friends in very low places those whom are shady and benevolent or so it would seem, 

May i take a pretty short walk into town, May i groom and raise my horse well in the stables, 

May i have no fury nor savagery be unleashed, May I be welcomed to the new world fresh and a new man, May i kill for defence and not for rage, May i change and become a decent man and change those i call friends, May there be honour amongst thieves, May we be our best selves,

Don't be victimised, don't take their poisonous bite, 

Don't get poisoned by lies, let them rot and rest in their living graves, Karma for sure aint your friend, 

May I stand forever tall, bold enough to move ahead without thinking, 

May my body react to the position I'm in, may we talk about the debt you owe me, 

May i stand tall and my beard grow on,

May I stand and take their best, while showing them you never rest, 

Working fast as you can, showing respect to your fellow man, 

That's one step towards the goal, setbacks are all apart of the plan, 

We need to aim for Tahiti or bust,

May I take my life, away from the shadow and plight, 

May I move without thinking and be the hero that's been missing, May i save a life, 

May I lead the darkness away from the light, may I stand tall and use pomade til i die,

American venom it builds up inside, seeing red yet feeling, dead inside, 

Coughing up the lies, stop withholding, don't tell me to fold and give me the muneh,

May I stand above the waters, they're filled with your waste, 

May I stand even though I'm in a state, may we have a chat on the level of a common man, 

May i bust the gate, May I stand tall, outlaw to the end,

Hold up this must be a robbery, you've taken my time for granted, 

You've set me up to lose from where we started, I'll polish my mouth with powder, 

May I Sharpen my words ready to cut at you deep, I'll stand unshaken and we'll settle the score in the burning heat,

May I stand tall and lasso the bull, May i ride a long and winding road at great pace on a noble stead,

May I fight to the last breath against the corrupt, May we battle long and hard and may my body never give up, May my friends escape and be safe, May i see the sun rise and breathe relief with redemption at my feet. 

I started writing this as a self hype inspiring post regards to sticking with a shelf stacking job i hate and putting up with their venom how i want to end the victimisation i am facing as a shelf stacker and then i came out with the phrase "American Venom" which happens to be the name of a mission in RDR 2 and went from there changing things and adding lots more to do a poem about Arthur and his life.
