Yes, they have some goofy categories. When is one no longer a "young" actor or actress? By creating a seperate catagory for Best Popular Movie, aren't they validating the idea that the people and the critics have a chasm of opinion between them? Who knows, but they did a sufficient job of weeding out some of the better moments of 2004. In case you didn't know, they also pick a film of the month for every month of the year:
