This helpful key will allow you to engage in lengthy Bornie discussions with family and friends:
- A Super Bornie: A Super Bornie occurs when both RB and KB award a prize to the same winner. For instance, Martin McDonagh has received a Best Screenplay Bornie from both RB and KB for his script In Bruges, thus making him the recipient of a Super Bornie
- A Royal Bornie: A Royal Bornie occurs when an Oscar win coincides with at least one Bornie win. For instance, Penelope Cruz has been awarded RB's Best Supporting Actress Bornie for her her work in Vicky Christina Barcelona, which also earned her an Academy Award, thus making her the proud recipient of a Royal Bornie.
- An Atomic Bornie: Rare and sweet smelling. An Atomic Bornie occurs when both KB and RB bestow a Bornie on the same winner, even while that winner also receives the Academy Award. Thusly, Sean Penn's Super Bornie win for Milk added to his Academy Award for the same performance gives him the vaunted distinction of, yes, An Atomic Bornie.
