    :X: Best Antagonist--Nominations Closed

    This thread is for members to nominate characters for the Award for Best Antagonist. In order for a character to be eligible for nomination they must satisfy the definition of an antagonist listed below, and they must be a character from one of Stephen King's published works, including any of his novels, novellas, and short stories. Characters from titles published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman are also eligible.

    To nominate a character for this category, simply post your choice in this thread. In order for a character to be placed onto the voting ballot for the Award the nominated character must be seconded and thirded, also in this thread. This is to ensure that we do not have an overly long list of contenders for the Award, and that--by virtue of the nomination process--each character listed on the ballot is guaranteed to have at least something of a following come voting time. Please note that you MUST clearly state in your post that you are seconding or thirding a nomination for it to count. Feel free to deliberate and discuss your choices in this thread.

    While you may second or third a nomination more than once, we ask that there be only one new nomination per member.

    Antagonist- The character who opposes or struggles with the protagonist/hero in a literary work. Adversary; villain.

    I have a feeling Flagg is going to take this one. He isn't my favorite but I still think he's got it. For my part, I'm torn between Nadine Cross and the Overlook Hotel.

    For Flagg? Nope.

    Can I nominate Nadine and the Overlook? If I can then these are my nominees.

    Yeah...its one of those big head/small head things for me.

    edit: You weren't talking to me. Ooops. But I can't pick between the two so I have to nominate both...or neither.

    I would say that you can second or third more than once, but you should only nominate the one that you feel is the best pick.

    If you pick the hotel I will second it Coz. Otherwise, you're on your own

    Well...damn. See...on an intellectual level I want to pick the hotel. I enjoyed the way King made the Overlook seem alive with out hit interracted with Jack and his family and how it slowly took over Jack's mind. Nadine speaks to me on a more primal level but also on an intellectual level. But Nadine was sexy as all get out and I really liked how she slowly fell into darkness. She's also a person and not a building. As fascinating as I find the concept of an evil building I do prefer a humanoid antagonist.

    I have to pick Nadine. Its by the most narrow of margins but I have to pick her. I know its kind of obscure and she has no hope of winning but still.
