The 7th Annual Golden Gallo Awards

Who doesn’t love awards? Well at least one person doesn’t: Woody Allen. To quote him from “Annie Hall:” “What's with all these awards? They're always giving out awards. Best Fascist Dictator: Adolf Hitler.” I on the other hand love awards. So it was only a matter of time I came up with my own useless movie awards. Now in it’s 7th year I present the recipients of the 7th Annual Golden Gallo Awards. Congratulations to all the “winners.”
