"The Incredibles," "Sideways" Tops in the 6th Annual Golden Tomato Awards
by RT Staff | January 20, 2005
Discuss Article
"The Incredibles" and "Sideways" prove to be the freshest of 2004's movies, as they take top honors in the 6th Annual Golden Tomato Awards. The scores for Golden Tomato Awards are calculated using each movie's Tomatometer score and the Bayesian* formula to account for varying number of reviews. When all the numbers are in, "The Incredibles," Pixar Studios' latest animated movie, is Rottentomatoes.com's pick for the best reviewed title in the Wide Release category. With a score of 87.77, it bested runner-ups "Spider-Man 2" (85.83) and "Hero" (85.14) for this top honor.

In the Limited Release category (movies distributed in 500 or less theaters), Alexander Payne's "Sideways" grabbed the top prize. With a score of 86.60, it beat out second place "Before Sunset" (84.00) and third place "Maria Full of Grace" (83.50). "Million Dollar Baby" came in eighth with a score of 81.58.

For the individual genres, "Spider-Man 2" won for Action/Adventure, "The Incredibles" for Animation, "Mean Girls" for Comedies, "Super Size Me" for Documentaries, "Sideways" again for Dramas, "Hero" for Foreign, "Shaun of the Dead" for Horror, "Two Brothers" for Kids/Family, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" for Romance, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" for Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and "Collateral" for Thriller.

View all of the results here.

* The Golden Tomato Awards scores are calculated using the formula: (r ÷ (r+m)) × t + (m ÷ (r+m)) × a, with "r" representing the number of rated reviews, "m" the minimum number of reviews needed for a movie to qualify, "t" the Tomatometer score, and "a" the average Tomatometer of all the qualifying movies.

[b]Oh my... the moldy tomato awards......[/b]
Poor Twisted, Godsend and Catwoman, who make up 3 of the 4 WORST reviewed films of 04. Van helsing is on that list too, which I thought was a good no-thinking-action flick. Mooseport was ok too, for me, cause I like raymond.

Other notables that deserve to be here are garfield, cinderella story, NY minute and white chicks.
