Some interesting notes: True Grit didn’t get a single award despite ten (10!) nominations; Christopher Nolan didn’t receive any awards despite Inception being entirely original and praised for its design, winning 4 other awards no less; Anne Hathaway, poking fun at the Academy’s attempt at appealing to a younger demographic is the presentation’s youngest host ever at 28 and last but not least, 8-time Oscars host Billy Crystal made a friendly and fun appearance making some wish he was back to host ag
If you missed our live-chat for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards this evening, don’t fret, we have the winners and a brief recap of the ceremony for you. In short, Inception took home the technical categories, The Social Network took a few, notably for its score and The King’s Speech was the big winner, coming in with 12 nominations and walking out with four big wins, including best pict
Jakes Gyllenhaal said it best this evening, pointing out that it would be the shorts that make or break our Oscar Pools. I am usually able to get half of them right by watching them and picking favorites but this year I got them all wrong. Amongst the big categories there were few surprises though, outside of Tom Hooper ( The King’s Speech ) beating out David Fincher ( The Social Network ) for achievement in directing. But hey, Chris Nolan wasn’t even nominated for Inception so without further
So although this isn’t a zombie movie awards games dlc|https://Moviefestivalhub.com/, if you’re a fan of the genre or if you like comedy and don’t mind some serious violence and gore, I highly recommend you go see The Signal when you get the opportun
There are several noteworthy performances in Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight , but the film once again demonstrates that there are few actors who know how to deliver Tarantino dialogue just right like Samuel L. Jackson does (for more proof of that, see that SLJ monologue from The Hateful Eigh
The owner of the store has always told Mike that Fats Waller was born in the building and grew up around the neighborhood. Being that “Fats” is a hero of Mike’s, they decide to create an original movie about the man’s l
From Melissa Leo’s F-bomb, Kirk Douglas’ never-ending jokes and womanizing to Hathaway’s fun anti-Wolverine solo and Christian Bale actually shedding a tear, it was another long night at the Oscars defined by its little moments scattered through
Nevertheless, we’ll take a shot at guessing who and what will take which awards – using a very un-scientific and more than a little subjective method – while at the same time offering some thoughts on who (and what films) should be recognized at the 2016 Golden Glo
The other issue that some will raise is the bloated nature of the telecast. Beginning at 8:30 p.m. EST, Sean Penn didn’t announce that Birdman had won Best Picture until 11:48 p.m. In between all the awards being handed out, viewers were expected to slog their way through comedy bits that arguably fell flat, musical performances, and several commercial breaks. In this day and age, fans can find out who wins in real time via social media and see any speeches they’re interested in watching online shortly after the original telecast. The need to see the show live has decrea
2015 was a big year for Amy Schumer, what with her having picked up lots of acclaim and awards alike (including an Emmy) for her own variety comedy show Inside Amy Schumer , in addition to headlining the critically-acclaimed comedy/drama Trainwreck (based on her own original script). It remains to be seen if Schumer lands an Oscar nomination for her turn in director Judd Apatow’s latest film (where she plays a professional writer who’s quite the emotional mess), but she appears to be the front-runner at the Golden Glo
The Signal is a 2007 horror film directed by David Bruckner, Dan Bush, and Jacob Gentry. The film follows the inhabitants of the city of Terminus as they grapple with a mysterious broadcast signal that turns people into violent aggressors. The story is divided into three interconnected parts, each showcasing different perspectives on the ensuing ch
There’s not a clear front-runner in the awards season race (culminating with Oscar night) in 2016 like there has been in some years past, but Tom McCarthy’s docudrama on the Boston Globe’s investigation of the Catholic Church’s sex abuse coverup has gained momentum of late. The HFPA’s own Best Drama selections generally aren’t too surprising (with recent winners including Boyhood and 12 Years a Slave ) and McCarthy’s film boasts that perfect combination of topical subject matter and critical darling status that suggests it will take home the big prize (and maybe then some) at the Golden Glo
All the talk about Leonardo DiCaprio braving hypothermia-inducing temperatures, fighting CGI bears, and eating a raw bison liver aside, The Revenant boasts an excellent, largely wordless, performance from DiCaprio – one that’s worlds apart from his Golden Globe-winning turn as a fast-talking scumball in The Wolf of Wall Street , a couple years ago. Matthew McConaughey ended up winning the Best Actor Oscar over DiCaprio at the Oscars that year, and there’s a real possibility Matt Damon will do the same at the Academy Awards this year. As far as the Golden Globes go, though, DiCaprio is the easy pick for Best Actor in a Dr
