KING OF THE CON Award Goes To Jon Favreau!

For those of you who don’t know, we here at GeekTyrant live for Comic-Con. A week out from it and I am already feeling withdrawals.   Every year we go into the Con with high expectations that something is going to blow us away. We have gone for many years and we have yet to be disappointed.  So, because of the time and the effort that the film makers have put into bringing us pure awesomeness, we have decided to give recognition to who ever really stepped up their game.

The winner of the first ever KING OF THE CON Award goes to Jon Favreau.  I have to think of this as an award that he has deserved for the last couple of years.  There were a lot of cool things brought to us this year; however, Favreau brought the red carpet to SDCC 2011.   He has figured out the perfect formula to make the fan boys drool and to get the bloggers singing his praise.  Last year he shot and edited a scene from Cowboys and Aliens just for the fans at Comic-Con.  Then this year not only did he bring us Cowboys and Aliens, but he made Hollywood come to us for the red carpet premier of the film.  Venkman and I were allowed to attend the star studded event and we were not disappointed.  The movie was everything I expected and more.   

I think what put him over the top for this award was the fact that after the movie was over, instead of leaving and going about his business, he hung out with his fans.  I didn’t see a single person turned away from an autograph or a picture. That kind of solidarity with us, the fans, is the reason why he wins the first annual King of the Con Award.

I know that Favreau loves Comic-Con and if he has anything to say about it he will be bringing amazingness to us next year, but he will have some stiff competition.  I have a feeling he will defend his title well.
