The Mask (1994) - Lt. Kellaway
A classic example of the winner being literally the most "normal" performance in a film. I mean, he doesn't even have one dance sequence!
Hellboy (2004) - John Myers
Literally the most talked-about character from our Hellboy episode.
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014) - Kelsey Grammer's Beast
Totally worth those 5 hours in hair/makeup!
Batman Returns (1992) - Max Shreck
Andrew picked the grossest picture here. I also feel like Tim Burton reused this charred skeleton in another movie.

But where did he get this horse? Andrew thinks it's a police horse, but I think it's actually the embodiment of fear.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) - Cowering Inmate
I think this guy began a precedent for giving the award to anonymous thugs.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) - Dominos Pizza Guy
Stay in frame long enough until every kid watching asks for a pizza.
The Spirit (2008) - Louis Lombardi
I've seen this movie and talked about it for an hour and I still have zero idea why Louis Lombardi is a little foot man.
Chronicle (2012) - Michael B. Jordan
Seriously. Just give this guy a superhero movie already. Not a supporting role. Main character only.

Such an asshole that Superman flew across the country just to beat the shit out of him.

Wanted (2008) - Chris Pratt
The moral centre of the movie

Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993) - Demon Lady
Jeez that's disturbing. It's like Dot from Animaniacs turned into a human woman.

Look, if there's a weird horse in the movie, I'm going to vote for it.
Blade II (2002) - Cowering Feather Boa Vampire

Man, look at how ambivalent she is in this picture.
Men In Black (1997) - The First Pouncer

Push (2009) - Screamer
A Screamer is someone who's a big fan of horror films. This is not to be confused with a Wailer, who is really good at shouting.
Iron Man 2 (2010) - Bord?
That's not even his real bord.
Ant-Man (2015) - Fire Ants
The NMNP rule is that if there's an animal on fire at any point in the movie, they win the Golden Pounce.

Somebody call for a web-slinger?

It's clearly alive, because it makes an elephant noise.

It's a shock that his scene isn't in slow motion.
