AWARDS SEASON™ Shenanigans: Oscars 2014 Recap

ellen-degeneres-leads-flashmob-in-2014-oscars-promo

So who was completely and ridiculously exhausticated by 6PM NZT today?

Me.

Anyway. Ellen DeGeneres hosted the ceremony this year for the second time - the second time in her life, not the second time this year because there is only one Oscars ceremony per year - and she was hilarious and punchy and on form as always. Did you guys know she’s 56 years old? And still she looks amazing.

Her opening monologue was awesome, I particularly loved the way she ribbed Jennifer Lawrence about tripping over again this year. How awesome is she that she was able to incorporate that into her speech, which would’ve been rehearsed over and over, and Ellen just slipped it in there and carried on like normal.

I missed the first part of the ceremony as I had to run out to do some real life things (I know, I was surprised, too) but I got back early enough to catch the bulk of the awards. Not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing because MAN do the Academy Awards go on forever or what?

I didn’t end up making any guesses at all because I ended up not watching many if any of the films. Will make an effort to get stuck into them in the next decade or so. But out of all the winners I’m very happy that Gravity won a whopping seven times, winning the most out of all the other films. Dallas Buyers Club was the another multiple winner, scoring Best Supporting and Best Lead Actor with Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey respectively, plus the Best Makeup and Hairstyling Oscar.

(I continue to be amazed that McConaughey has made such a turnaround in his career because all I remember him in is The Wedding Planner and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. His acceptance speech was kinda weird, though…)

The other three-award winner was 12 Years A Slave, winning the super coveted ultimate battle fight award: Best Picture! We all knew that would win. On top of that, first-time nominee Lupita Nyong’o won her Best Supporting Actress category, and John Ridley contributed to the tally by winning Best Adapted Screenplay.

Three for Dallas, three for 12 Years, and none for American Hustle, BYE. Sorry, American Hustle. I haven’t watched you but I will. Sometime. Also, sorry Leo :( It is too painful to talk about it right now but come back to me in a year or so.

Other notable mentions:
+ Idina Menzel performing “Let It Go.” John Travolta had one job to do today and he mucked it up because I have no idea what name he said when he announced Idina. I guess we will just have to let it go. Either way, she was really good, and now I have to watch Frozen. Total chore.

+ Cate Blanchett dropping truth bombs about women in film. You drop those bombs, Cate! I can’t wait to see you make out with Rooney Mara in Carol.

+ HOW COULD I FORGET THE GREATEST SELFIE OF ALL TIME? So massive it broke Twitter. I loved how she talked about it on TV, and then tweeted it, and was able to deliver the results of her experiment live again on TV. Too awesome.https://24.media.tumblr.com/e4d86b7c3e6378a637268a3a2ce88aa8/tumblr_n1ubfhMIjv1r5zq6ao1_400.gifBhxWutnCEAAtEQ6

AWARDS SEASON™ Shenanigans: Oscar Nominations 2014

aas

Welcome to another installment of AWARDS SEASON™ Shenanigans, this time for the upcoming 86th Academy Awards! It’ll be hosted by Ellen on March 2nd, which means March 3rd for us here in NZ. With any luck we’ll be live-tweeting it for y’all again here at JawkwardLOL; we’ll keep you posted.

Most nominated films are: American Hustle and Gravity with ten nominations each, and close on their heels is 12 Years a Slave with nine. All three films are up for the much discussed Best Picture and Best Director, and each of their leading actors are up for their respective categories as well.

There weren’t too many surprises I don’t think - it’s hard to REALLY be surprised when it comes to the Academy, they are kind of predictable in their taste. But I think most people were expecting nods for Tom Hanks in the Best Actor category (Captain Phillips) and perhaps something a little more substantial than Best Music for Saving Mr. Banks.

This awards year has been filled with many good movies! And many actors and actresses I like! Of note is the fact that the average age of the Best Actress nominees is 55 years old. Look at them all, they’re still super gorgeous and helming their own movie - take that, patriarchy! Anyway, I won’t make my full picks just yet as I haven’t seen as many of the movies as I’d like, but I’ll watch as many as possible in the next month and then make a slightly more informed guess then.

AWARDS SEASON™ Shenanigans: 71st Golden Globes Recap

Sooooo Golden Globes. Three hours of celebrities locked in a room with alcohol and a deadline. WHAT COULD GO WRONG? If you followed us on Twitter, hopefully you enjoyed it, after my live stream fail that is. I missed the opening monologue and the first few awards, but thanks to the internet we have the best joke of the night in .gif form:

gg1 gg2 gg3 gg4 gg5 gg6

Tina and Amy knocked it out of the Parks and REC! See what I did there? Also amazeballs from the hosting duo was when Amy cross-dressed as Tina’s adult son Randy from a previous relationship, searching for his biological father… not gonna lie, Randy is a hottie. Case in point:

[Source]

Out of all twenty-four awards of the night, I correctly picked ten winners. Ten out of 24! A whopping 42% pass (fail?) rate. Actually this is quite on par with how I’ve normally done with my picks in the past few years, given how random the Golden Globes seem to be both in terms of nominees-per-category and the winners themselves.

12 Years A Slave and American Hustle were leading the nominations with seven each heading into the ceremony, and American Hustle came out way better off, winning Best Picture - Comedy or Musical as well as both Best and Supporting Actress for Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence respectively.

However, 12 Years A Slave did win Best Motion Picture - Drama, making history as the first film directed by an African American director (Steve McQueen) to win a Golden Globe in the award’s history.

Also happy that Brooklyn Nine-Nine won Best Comedy, hopefully it’ll be on NZ television screens soon because the general public are really missing out here. Andy Samberg’s speech was okay, I guess, ugh. Lol. But you know what else we’re really missing out on? Orphan Black.

Don’t even get me STARTED about Robin Wright winning Best Television Actress for House of Cards (yes apparently it’s really good blah blah blah) instead of Tatiana Maslany for playing seven different women to the point where you think about a character and wonder why TMas is talking about her when you remember that, oh wait - TMas played ALL OF THEM.

RUDE, HFPA, RUDE.

Unexpected winners of the night were perhaps Jacqueline Bisset, who won Best Supporting Actress in a Series/Mini-Series/TV Movie. I missed her acceptance speech while vainly attemping to retrieve my live stream, but it sounded like she was off the trolley! Already! Sat at the back with a crate of champers, you probably wouldn’t have expected to win either.

Other wins I’m happy with: Alfonso Cuaron for Best Director, with Gravity. Leonardo DiCaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street - ten nominations and only two wins! (The first one was for The Aviator back in 2005.) Hopefully this means we are well on track for an Oscar! I am ready Academy Awards, come at me!

(Side note: Cate Blanchett is great and I’m sure Blue Jasmine is also great so congrats to her for winning and all that, but if Kate Winslet had won her category it would’ve meant that Leo would’ve presented her with her Golden Globe and those two should get married already…)

What did y’all think? Dragged on too long? Nominees robbed or winners well deserved? Think it’ll be an accurate predictor for the Academy Awards in March?

Full list of winners:

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama: Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine

AWARDS SEASON™ Shenanigans: Golden Globes Are on Monday!

70th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Show
[Best host team to ever host hosted things! - Photo courtesy of NBC]
 

YOU GUYS, THE GOLDEN GLOBES ARE ON MONDAY*. Are you ready for the funner, less pretentious younger sibling of the Oscars, plus Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosting? It’s a win win for everyone who has three-to-five hours to spend in front of their TV on a weekday.

So, Kyle Buchanan and Margaret Lyons over at Vulture have done their own dissection and run-down of who they think should win their respective categories, in a way more articulate and hilarious way than I ever could. I think they have a drinking game brewing in the background, you guys. Something to consider, perhaps…?

On the whole, their favourites are my favourites. Gravity, Alfonso Cuaron, and by dear GOD Leonardo “STILL No Oscar?!” DiCaprio. The Globes are a good indicator for future Oscar winners, generally, so if Leo can bag one here… maybe??? Oscars???

The only point of contention I have with their opinion (which is not wrong because an opinion cannot be wrong apart from this one which is wrong) is for Best Actor for Comedy:

Best Actor, TV Series Comedy
Jason Bateman, Arrested Development
Don Cheadle, House of Lies
Michael J. Fox, The Michael J. Fox Show
Jim Parsons, The Big Bang Theory
Andy Samberg, Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Everyone in this category except Samberg has already won a Golden Globe, and Don Cheadle and Michael J. Fox have each won two. Parsons probably does the most comedic heavy-lifting, and Fox has the sentimental juju (don’t be surprised if he wins), but let’s go with Andy Samberg for this one. Not because he’s so amazing on Brooklyn Nine-Nine (the show’s getting there, but slowly), but because he seems like the most likely to give a funny and unique acceptance speech.

This is probably the last category I thought I’d care about so much, but Andy Samberg is so NOT amazing on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. He’s probably the weakest link there, surrounded by the likes of Chelsea Perretti and Andre “Deadpan” Braugher. Although, it’s true, as acceptance speeches go, his would probably be one of the ones that would make the LOL in JawkwardLOL not silent.

And *drumroll* the category that I am most anticipating:

Best Actress in a TV Drama

Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife 

Tatiana Maslany, Orphan Black
Taylor Schilling, Orange Is the New Black
Kerry Washington, Scandal
Robin Wright, House of Cards

Please dear God let Tatiana Maslany win this one. Orphan Black deserves a much higher profile, and sci-fi shows have never had a chance with the Emmys. Make it so!

Orphan Black Orphan Black Orphan Black! This show is so amazing, and if Tatiana Maslany does not win… HFPA you’re doing it wrong.

Overall, the film category seems a lot more clear cut than the television category, which seems to be a mixed bag both in terms of HOW the nominees were grouped and then WHO out of those respective groups should win. Possibly because movies only take about two hours of your time on a weekend, while television shows generally require you to invest years of your life and hundreds of dollars on medication for the stress ulcers and anxiety and up-and-down emotion they give you each week? Who knows.

You can check out the full article here. Who else is excited for red carpet fun tiemz?! I haven’t sat down to watch the Globes in a very very long time but I will have the alcohols at the ready methinks.

*Monday because we live in New Zealand! More specifically, 2pm Monday.

AWARDS SEASON™ Shenanigans: Golden Globes Nominations 2014

Golden Globe statues

I love AWARDS SEASON™. I really do. I prefer the Golden Globes, because they tend to have a bit more of a relaxed feel than the Academy Awards; it’s the fun cousin in the family, shall we say. Also, by the time the Oscars come out, I’ll have been tuckered out from all the AWARDS SEASON™ craziness and really, who can watch TV for five hours straight?

(Don’t answer that.)

Anyway. Golden Globes.

Movie nomination thoughts:

  • Kate Winslet and Sandra Bullock up against each other for Best Actress! My brain can’t really handle this and I will have a meltdown on the day I’m sure. I really want Gravity and Sandra to win simply because Hollywood needs to know that there can be strong female protagonists leading a film AND that it can be an award-winning film and/or performance, too. It’ll be unlikely that Sandra will win, though; it’s not really that kind of performance for AWARDS SEASON™.
  • I see Leo is nominated for Best Actor… somebody give that man an Oscar already! Oh, wait, wrong awards. Still, the sentiment remains. Also, my fangirl heart will be so aflutter if he and Kate Winslet were to win their respective categories.

Television wise:

  • There’s been a bit of a shake up in the industry in the last 12 or so months, most notably with Netflix coming in with its instant-full-season style of distribution and putting forward a catalogue of original series. Three Netflix original series have been nominated: House of Cards, Orange is the New Black, and Arrested Development. I haven’t watched House of Cards nor caught up with Arrested Development (does that make me a bad pop culture geek?), but I did mainline OITNB in two days after settling down from my Wentworth fervour. Being the type of person who will buy season DVDs of a show I haven’t watched, I really enjoyed the convenience and instant gratification of the system. I wouldn’t have picked OITNB as an award-winning show, but the platform on which it was delivered has changed the game and it’s good to see Netflix’s understanding of consumerism and fanservice being nominated here.
  • Homeland swept the awards last year but hasn’t been nominated at all this year. Do I feel the winds of change? Will somebody else truly get a chance to make a tearful and surprised acceptance speech?
  • I was super excited to see Brooklyn Nine-Nine nominated for Best Comedy. That has been the highlight of the past couple of months for me. Andy Samberg’s been nominated for Best Actor, but he’s the weakest link in that show for me, despite him being the lead character. I have feelings about this: he’s been developed as the glue to hold the squad together, but the rest of the squad really shines without him - heck, sometimes they shine harder when he’s not in the scene at all. But I would like to see that darling show win over Girls, or Modern Family.
  • I’ve gone on and on, but last and DEFINITELY NOT LEAST: Tatiana Maslany for Orphan Black. You guys, I love this show so much. It’s sci-fi clones played all by the same actress and she knocks it out of the freaking park, every time! She was totally snubbed by the Emmys so I am so happy to see her nominated here. She better win, or her clones will show up as every other nominee.

Living in New Zealand, it’s hard to keep up with film or television in a timely manner (see how nicely I put that? But so many HULK SMASH feels about this) but I normally go through the list and pick my winners, as well as which movies/shows I think will win. And then when AWARDS SEASON™ is over, I’ll review my picks and see how many I scored. I don’t win many; I average about 30-40% on accuracy, but it’s good fun and who doesn’t love Bingo?!

Bolded are my favourites; underlined are who I think will win. I score myself two points for picking the correct winner, and one token point if my favourite does end up winning. If I don’t know enough about the category slash have no real feelings about it either way, I just pick who I think will win.
