The votes have been cast, the independent accounting firm of Fletch & Fletch has been consulted, and the time has come for the LIONs to be handed out.

Our fourth award for presentation is for Best Supporting Actor. There were a total of 54 votes, and as you might expect, it was a blowout. The runner-up, with four votes…Robert Downey, Jr. for Tropic Thunder.

And the no-doubt-about-it winner, with a LIONs-leading 32 votes, Jon Voight for Pride and Glory! Congratualtions on your big win, Jon.

Yeah, right. You know who it is…

The posthumous award goes, of course, to Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight. Though the bonus award for Best Out-there Vote does go to the person that voted for Mr. Voight: John of Flick Rater.

Next up…we’ll go on a slight detour from the acting races to count down the Worst Films of the Year. Stay tuned to the LAMB for more of the LIONs, culminating with our Top 10 Films of 2008.
