| THE FIRST ANNUAL VASSAL AWARDS! |

|
|
It's no secret that a guy who titles himself the "Sultan of Television," is just a wee bit immodest. However, the major reason for me having such a deluxe title is because of the art form that I support so much: Television. However, TV's big brother, film, is actually more celebrated in the real world! The biggest awards show of the year, the infamous Academy Awards or "Oscars," is just around the corner, celebrating the very best films of 2014. Of course, being the stickler that I am, I am always outraged at the films who are awarded Oscars on the grandest stage of them all. Thus, I have decided to make my own version of the Oscars. And, just as I am the feudalistic Sultan to Television, I believe that since movies come second to TV, following feudalism, they should be vassals
So, without further adieu, let's get to the nominees!!!
