Due to the terrible timing of the SAG Awards (they coincide with Once Upon a Time and Lost Girl). I'm going to have to timeshift DVR the award show itself and watch that tomorrow. But I can report that I was able to watch the Red Carpet.

( And the Red Carpet winners/losers are... )

The Oscar noms...well no personal nominations for anyone I REALLY like (read: McAvoy, Fassbender, Sheen, Bean, Firth, Blunt, Paltrow) so that puts a bit of a dent on the Red Carpet excitement for this year. Everyone seems to be up in arms because Leo wasn't nominated. As far as I'm concerned, the poor guy never wins even though he is a great actor ( Read more... )

The Golden Globes have come and went. My thoughts:

Ricky Gervais was pretty tame...only a couple of naughty jokes and that was it. I'm not a fan of his but I have to say that he was robbed -  I believe they cut back on his hosting duties and that setback was actually detrimental to the show. They really needed him to spice it up a little.

The best, ( Read more... )

I really haven't seen too many movies nominated for awards this season so I am hard pressed to make any comments about the Golden Globe nominees. However, I can't help but point out the nominees for the Best Actor in a Drama (in the Motion Picture category):

Best Actor in a Drama

George Clooney, The Descendants
Brad Pitt, Moneyball
Ryan Gosling, The ( Read more... )

Not feeling particularly great today. It is gloomy and dark outside...again. I would just like to curl up in bed and go back to sleep. I really need something that will make me HAPPY. I have no legitimate reason to be sad but it seems like nothing is making me happy these days either. Something good must happen soon, right? Maybe I should get a ( Read more... )

The Grammy Awards were just not that great this year. A few of the acts were all right - I love the Cee Lo Green song and having Gwyneth Paltrow perform it with him made it all the better but the silly costume he wore was just not required. Gaga was Gaga. The song and performance were great but, dare I say, a little too normal for Gaga. Born This ( Read more... )

The Nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards were announced this morning. No major surprises - a few snubs (Paul Giamatti, Ryan Gosling, Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, Halle Berry, Mila Kunis, among others)  but I love how the Oscars always have to throw in some nominees who seem to get overlooked at the other events. This year, it is 'True Grit'. I am ( Read more... )

It was a particularly proud night for Milito who was crowned Best Foreign Player, Serie A Player of the Year and Best Bomber. The Argentine striker had been criminally overlooked in the voting for the FIFA Ballon d'Or, so there was a sense of justice about last night's award. Milito's success was the icing on the cake for Inter. The Italian ( Read more... )

Australian Open QFs are set as follows ( Read more... )

The 68th Annual Golden Globes were a somewhat subdued affair...okay well at least the red carpet was. Normally this event is my fav awards show of the season but really, it wasn't anything spectacular. The right people won - that is, Colin Firth for best actor (movie-drama), Natalie Portman for best actress (movie-drama). I hope that the Oscars ( Read more... )
