Welcome to Smash Cut Culture’s annual Trailer of the Year Award. This is the inaugural year and we are excited to showcase six of the year’s best trailers. It will be up to you to determine which of the six should take home the top prize.
Before we continue, we must address the big elephant in the room, or rather, the big bantha in the room. You will notice that there are a total of zero Star Wars: The Force Awakens nominations. This was done for one reason, it would have been a completely pointless contest because anything Star Wars on the internet, wins. I equate it to long discussions about who was the greatest wide receiver in NFL history, in that there are no long discussions because of Jerry Rice. There are long discussions about who is the second best NFL receiver, but the top spot belongs to Rice.
So to keep this interesting and still interactive, Star Wars trailers are banned from contention. Because for the foreseeable future, there will be a new Star Wars trailer released every year that breaks the internet. That is unless The Force Awakens turns out to suck, then all bets are off.
Now that that is out of the way, on to the nominations of which each will introduced by a top YouTube comment.

I seriously smell lots of Oscars in this movie!!
Punishment for stealing Kevin Bacon’s cop car: being forced to watch Hollowman.
Wow, Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper together in a movie, who would have thought?
Jesse, we have to write.
Probably one of the bet casts I’ve seen in a long time
Now that’s you’ve recapped it is time to vote for the Trailer of the Year Award (Non-Star Wars). Polls close December 29th with the winner announced on Dec 30th.
