The 21st Golden Tomato Awards winners have been announced, and the people behind 2019 standouts like Parasite, Avengers: Endgame, Fleabag, Watchmen, and more can add one more trophy to their mantles. Read on for a full list of Rotten Tomatoes’ best-reviewed movies and TV shows of 2019, with prizes handed out to Chernobyl, Toy Story 4, Us, Rocketman, Pain and Glory, and many more.
Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite (which currently has a limited series adaptation in the works) came out on top, winning three prizes overall. Avengers: Endgame, Fleabag, Watchmen, and Toy Story 4 essentially tied for second, taking home two wins each.
Here’s how the winners were determined, according to Rotten Tomatoes:
The Golden Tomato Awards are determined by the Tomatometer score for movies and TV shows in a category and rank by Adjusted Score, which uses a weighted formula that accounts for the variation in the number of reviews when comparing the movies or shows. To qualify in a category, a movie needed to have been released in American theaters in 2019 (beyond just a festival release) and have at least 40 reviews, five from Top Critics; TV seasons or TV movies needed to have premiered in 2019 and have a minimum of 20 reviews, five from Top Critics.
