And The Winner Is...

After 18 minutes of consideration, I present to you...

THE DAMON AWARDS!

As prized as the Hope Diamond - as elusive as the jungle leopard - desired by all, but only bestowed upon a select few...THE DAMONS.

The "Damons", named for Damon Bradley, Marissa Tomei's hapless soulmate in "Only You", celebrate the career of one Mr. Robert Downey, Jr.  I fully anticipate that this award will be shortly picked up by the Academy and an appropriate statuette designed.
