Fan Edit Of The Year (FEOTY) 2022: and the WINNERS are...!

[lapis molari]

UPDATED to correct Best Editor and Best Cover.

Welcome to the 2022 edition of the "Oscars of the Fanedits"!

Fanediting is a growing field: you created 228 fanedits on FE.org in 2022, a HUGE increase from 129 fanedits in 2021 and 149 in 2020. Incredible!

Thank you to all faneditors for giving us new ways of looking at familiar pictures, for providing inspiration, and for standing up to show that your opinion is equally valid and sometimes even better than the original!

We celebrate those fanedits that positively stand out across twelve categories. These awards are more than a round of applause to the winning editors, they confirm a level of quality that helps us now and in future to evaluate which fanedits we choose to watch. Go, watch, enjoy, and be inspired!

The winners and runners-up of the 2022 FEOTY include two fanedits that tower over all others, with four categories each!

My thanks to @lapis molari and all the staff for their diligent, engaging commitment to this growing art form…

228 edits in 12 months… astonishing! To you all my thanks for your work and those that continue to inspire me… and you do!

Congratulations to you all!

Winner: Faneditor of the Year

This is kinda hilarious in hindsight. Somehow he won editor of the year by a landslide, despite not seeming to have done any edits.

Am I missing something?

Faneditor of the year always also for people simply contributing alot to the website. Or so I understood.

 

[lapis molari]

FEOTY results are updated in the first post and show the necessary correction. Thank you everyone for your understanding.

Congratulations to @Wraith , @krausfadr , @spence , and @TM2YC for being Winner and Runners-Up as Best Faneditor!

@Wraith

 

[INIGHTMARES]

Congratulations @Wraith . You did a ton of hard work on tons of your own edits, tons of editing work for RAC, tons of work helping me, you've done a lot. You made so many great edits and improved several older ones in the back catalog. This win is deserved no matter how hard situations have been lately. I sound all mopey sometimes like this but I mean the best for people, and people comprise this site. and those people love to do the same shit I do. So keep rocking on Wraith. I know you have been doing this stuff for a long, long time.

Anyways, congrats on a much deserved win mate!

 

[PanteraSteel]

Congratulations @Wraith

 

[spence]

I'm just seeing this post for the first time. Thank you all for the recognition!

However, I'm a little concerned that The Stand Trilogy won best Movie-to-TV edit, as it's not really that. It was longer series that I turned into a 3-part miniseries. Does this need to be revised?

 

[blueyoda]

Just saw that I was nominated in a few categories and won best trailer. Congratulations to @Wraith and all the other winners, and many thanks to @lapis molari and the rest of the staff. Also, thanks to anybody who took the time to watch a fan edit in 2022. You're the real MVP.

Congrats everyone who got a gong, and thanks to those who voted.
