Best Villain of a 2002 Film
Third Annual Cosmique Movie Awards
Awarded to the performer deemed by Cosmo voters to have achieved the best performance in a villainous role an eligible 2002 film. Cosmo voters must decide for themselves how to define this category. Are villains necessarily intrinsically evil? Can a character be an inadvertent villain, or do they have to act with deliberate malice? Can they be considered a villain if they are redeemed in the end? Can they be considered a villain if they perform some villainous acts, even if they also perform some good ones? And to what extent is the voter basing his or her decision based on the character as written, or as performed by the actor or actress (if that is, indeed, separatable)? Each voter will have to decide for himself or herself how to best interpret the category.
