The MET Gala is fashion’s biggest night celebrating the opening of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s costume exhibit. It’s also the place where anybody who’s anybody attends and shows out fashion wise. This year’s exhibit, PUNK: Chaos to Couture, will examine punk’s impact on high fashion from the movement’s birth in the early 1970s through its continuing influence today. Featuring approximately one hundred designs for men and women, the exhibition will include original punk garments and recent, directional fashion to illustrate how haute couture and ready-to-wear borrow punk’s visual symbols. With that theme in mind, let’s check out who dressed the best!
On the heels of the recent news that Guys and Dolls was getting a big screen remake with C-Tates and JGL and the Tony nominations, I decided to give this week’s top 10 a Broadway flavor. Movie musicals come and go in terms of public consciousness but given the success over the past few years, we might be entering a new age where musicals are being made regularly again. So I now present to you the top 10 Broadway musicals that haven’t made it to screen yet.
Hollywood stardom is a difficult thing to quantify these days since Hollywood has become a place driven more by production value than the stars in the production. Yet despite that, we still can identify movies based on their actors. We will still refer to films as Tom Cruise movies or ask, oh is that the one with Angelina Jolie? Once you’ve ascended to stardom, you’ve pretty much made it. So what of the possible movie stars today? Well I’m here to offer you a glimpse at the people I think are next in line provided they play their cards right. I tried to pick a mix of people just on the cusp as well as some who might need a few breaks, but will succeed in the end. Check out my selection of people after the jump!
Today’s Top 10 finds me looking back on the film year of 1999 along with my colleagues at the Awards Circuit. (BTW have you voted in our ACCA 1999 awards? Go do it!) Being on the most formative years of my existence, I was shocked to realize that despite the broad slate of films I’ve seen almost as many films this year so far (31) than I saw in all of 1999 (36)! But 1999 was such a good year for film, incredibly diverse and the films of that year are so representative of that time period. Enough of my blathering, here are the top 10 films of 1999!
It’s the first Terence’s Tuesday Top 10 (hooray alliteration) and man is it a doozy. I fear I’ll have nowhere to go but down but why not aim high? GQ recently did a post about the top 21 books of the 21st Century that every man should read and it inspired me to make this list. This was actually really difficult to do considering this is spanning from 2001 to now I can i can barely remember what book I read last week (Lover At Last by JR Ward if you’re wondering) let alone since 2001. I also took out books in a series (so no Harry Potter, His Dark Materials, or Robert Langdon books). You also won’t find plays, non-fiction, or internet fan fiction on the list, which is why the final list looks so geared towards the latter half of the time frame. So after reaching Claire Danes levels of ugly crying to cut this list down to 10, I managed to get it to my top books. Check it out!
Well 2012 is coming to a close. It’s been an interesting year for me personally, as well as professionally. But now that we are in the home stretch, figured it was time to begin my end of the year superlatives. Let the Tomas Experience Awards commence! Today’s awards focus on the top 10 albums of the year, which were far more of a struggle to put together than I thought they would be. Shockingly, this year was kind of underwhelming in terms of albums released. There were plenty of great singles but not a lot of fantastic albums. But regardless, there were some that stood head and shoulders above the rest, which we will dive into now.
