Hypothetically, if you had to select Eclipse Awards for this decade 2000-present, who would your picks be (only one per category) for the following categories. It would also be helpful to me if you put the year next to the names as well. Even if you just answer a few of these if you don't have the time would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
