The 4th Annual Occult Detective Awards Begin… NOW!

The Occult Detective Awards continue their tradition of being a schizophrenic mess. But it is what you’ve come to expect. Why change now? We’ll start things off slow and easy with a look at 2013’s best outings on the big and small screen. There’s room fro argument and debate in nearly every category, so feel free to do so in the comments below. I’d be more than happy to defend my choices.
