  2. Best Overall Steelbook package: Gladiator Hdzeta Boxset, Kingsman FilmArena, GotG Blufans Ultimate
  3. Best Full slip: Avengers AoU Novamedia, Jurassic World FilmArena (if it is received before new year :whistle:), Kingsman Filmarena
  4. Best Lenticular slip: GotG Blufans Ultimate, GotG Blufans Groot & Rocket, Avengers Novamedia
  5. Best Quarter slip: Gladiator HDzeta
  6. Best Overall Art: GotG Blufans, Avengers Novamedia
  7. Best Finish/embossing or debossing: GotG Blufans, Gladiator HDzeta
For me GotG Blufans was the most satisfying release because the Movie finally got the Steelbook he deserved. Gladiator from HDzeta is a close second because this great Movie had only medicore Steelbook releases so far but with the HDzeta release came the perfect Edition. I also enjoyed the Filmarena releases a lot, but the Steelbooks included are not always the best Versions available.

Anyway, a few new awards might be fun, but this many is as if we're trying to give every company that makes steels an award so that they are happy.
