The World's Ugliest Awards

(Continued...)

	The Chicago International Documentary Festival Grand Prix U.S.A. See the face? Was this troubling sculpture inspired by a severe tension headache? Or just by some drag queen who decided to style his hair into a cone and wrap a bunch of film around it?

	The Nibbie BRITAIN Above all, trophies should not be dangerous. In the wrong hands (say, ours), this monstrous pen nib, also known as the British Book Award, could easily be used to disembowel the beloved J.K. Rowling.

	The Golden Bear GERMANY The fierce Berlin International Film Festival award is disturbing. How odd it must be to receive a statuette that so clearly yearns to maul you, yet—being a lump of indifferently sculpted, gold-plated feces—simply can't.

	The International Highrise Award GERMANY We get it. It's conceptual, a droll simulacrum of the countless renderings that go into a bold skyscraper design. That may be, but this distinguished architectural honor still looks unmistakably like clutter.

It's not a cheesy metaphor, you twit, the Gemini astrological sign is represented by a set of twins, hence the two faces in the Gemini award. Get it? Twins? Two faces? Good.

And how did the Gemini end up on this list? It's a sleek, simple design and there's some thought behind it. The others are hideous beyond belief. What in God's name is the Genie supposed to be?
