Well we’ve finally heard from the Academy on what they consider some of the best in film this year and like most Oscar nomination mornings we got some shocks. I didn’t wake up at the crack of dawn to look at that Oscar nominations but when I finally saw them, I instantly let out a chortle. Let’s dig into the nominees with some analysis.
‘Twas the night before Oscar nominations and all the bloggers/critics/awards enthusiasts are hedging their bets at what will be announced tomorrow. For me, this has been one incredibly interesting phase 1 with films like Nightcrawler, American Sniper and The Grand Budapest Hotel making strong cases while the likes of Unbroken and Fury have faded a bit. There are so many ways the awards can go given that all categories are being announced live. Will we get 9 Best Picture nominations again? Will one of the big front runners miss? We’ll just have to wait and see.
This post signifies the start of my 2014 film awards! While the other day I lamented stuff I had to exclude this post is all about celebration, or in the case of my worst films of the year list, derision. Since I am a writer/podcast producer at Awards Circuit, the following choices will represent part 1 of the ballot I will turn in, so you can’t blame me if the choices turn out boring lol jk. Anyways, here’s my special film awards.
You all don’t know what pain is until you attempt to vote on awards or do best of lists. 2014 in particular proved to be an incredibly difficult year to narrow down and so before I unleash my top 10 films of 2014 and personal ballot choices into the world, I wanted to pour a bit out for the stuff I had to leave off.
The wait is over, here we go again with Girls Season 4…the last time we saw these ladies; Hannah had been accepted to grad school in Iowa, Marnie was hooking up with Desi, Jessa was helping Beedie commit suicide, and Shoshanna wasn’t going to graduate on time. So let’s see what Lena and company have in store for us this season.
