The Ugliest Object Votes Have Been Tallied!

Hello, Ugly lovers. Well, we’ve counted the votes and are happy to report that we have not one, but two winners! That’s right, two lucky objects will share the honor of Ugliest Object of 2020. It seems fitting, in a way. No one object should have to bear the burden of misery that 2020 encapsulates for so many people.

So, without further ado, I present to you the Ugliest Objects of 2020: head of a faun (May) and that janky bronze figurine that looks like it was an extra on the Graeco-Roman version of the Thriller video (October).
