Jan 8, 2016 10:11 PM UTC Rotten Tomatoes has announced the winners of its 17th annual Golden Tomato Awards, which honor the movies and TV shows which received the best reviews by critics during the previous year. Rather than a simple top ten list, the website, which aggregates reviews to give movies and shows ratings on a scale of 0 to 100 percent, selects a winner in a series of categories broken down by genre and region. The best reviewed wide-release movie of 2015, [_Mad Max: Fury Road_](http://time.com/4131668/mad-max-national-board-of-review/), does not come as a big surprise, nor do other buzzy awards-season titles like [_Inside Out_](http://time.com/3930081/inside-out-female-protagonist/) and [_Carol_](http://time.com/4136724/carol-todd-haynes-cate-blanchett-rooney-mara/). But the inclusion of multiple categories allows films that aren’t otherwise getting much attention, like the vampire comedy _What We Do In The Shadows_ and the graphic novel adaptation _Diary of a Teenage Girl_, to crack the list. On the TV side, new shows like _Better Call Saul_, _Fargo, Master of None_ and recent sensation [_Making a Murderer_](http://time.com/4167915/making-a-murderer-steven-avery-juror/) received ample love from critics, with the former three looking to snag an award or two at Sunday night’s [Golden Globe Awards](http://time.com/4171455/golden-globes-predictions-win-2016/).
