3. Best Geek Sidekick



(Thanks to my Dad for suggesting this one)

The third category for The Gummi Awards is for the Best Geek Sidekick. This character can be male or female, generally wears glasses (but not necessarily), and is incredibly well read or technologically gifted in some way. This person supports the main character by interjecting invaluable snippets of info at just the right moment or MacGyvering the perfect surveillance device. Nominate the guy who can build robots or hack into the Pentagon, but not the guy who can play Halo for hours on end.

The Nominees Are:

Van Helsing (2004)- "Terrible movie, but David Wenham's Carl steals the show!"

True Lies - Tom Arnold "Not only does he serve a healthy dose of 90's era one-liners, but he bails out Arnold without cock-blocking him too much."

"Justin Bartha as Riley Poole in the National Treasure movies. He's a true geek, but he'll get you into anything and anywhere."

(This category is now closed to new nominations. Stay tuned to GP to discover the winners!)

**Note: Categories are being listed in reverse order, counting down from 15. To get the full details of The Gummi Awards, read here.
