Post Emmys Thoughts ....

1.  Congratulations to Homeland ... Mad Men can't win all the time.  I still wanted Downton Abbey to win, but they won an award in the Mini Series category during the past Emmys.

2.  Jon Cryer whaaat?!?!?!?!  Sure ... maybe voters didn't want to give another Emmy to Jim Parsons, but TAAHM is no longer funny ... I wonder how close the votes were.

3. Congratulations to the Modern Family wins!

4.  I'm going to have to watch Game Change ... only to see if maybe this was more of a "political" choice, rather than a "best in category" choice.

5.  I'm glad Amazing Race won ... only because I think it's the most "real" reality competition show. 

6.  Must Watch Breaking Bad

7.  Contratulations to Julia Louis-Dreyfus !!  I guess she has an Emmy for every show she was a lead actress on ?!?!?

8.  Contratulations to Martha Plimpton on winning an Emmy for Guest Actress!!  I love her on Raising Hope !!

9.  Need to see Castle and Community nominated in the future!!

It's Emmy Night!!

84th Academy Awards

Must see THE ARTIST!!
Must see IRIS !!

I got 6 out of 8 of my picks ~ missed Director and Actor ~ both going to THE ARTIST!

I loved the speech Octavia Spencer gave. Made me cry when she started crying.
Then smiles ....
"Please wrap up, I'm wrapping up, I'm sorry I'm freaking out. Thank you world"

Meryl Streep also gave a nice speech too ~
"I really want to thank all my colleagues, all my friends, I look out here and see my life before my eyes, my old friends, my new friends and really this is such a great honour but the thing that counts the most with me is the friendships and the love and the sheer joy we have shared making movies together"

What Did She Just Say!

True Grit

I really liked this movie!! Now I understand why it was nominated for soo many categories.

The Oscar Hosts

I'm not too sure how I feel about the both of them hosting ~ hopefully it works out fine.

Daytime Emmys 2010

I cannot believe As The World Turns was cancelled!!

Seriously!!

Okay, so it has been a LONG time since I've watched this soap, but I remember watching this with my mom, and just thinking about those times are happy memories.
Just a couple of days ago, I had my TV on while the show was going on. There was a special with the character of Lisa (one of my favorite), but I really wasn't paying attention...it seemed like a "tribute" episode...and now I understand.

First CBS cancels Guiding Light, now ATWT.

I always thought it would be just sitcoms & dramas that could face the possibility of cancellation, but soaps that have been on air for more than 50+ years and have a fan following?!?!?! RIDICULOUS!!!

Now on to the title of my post.

Yes, I found out because I was watching this awards show.

Anyways ~ Congrats to the ATWT winners!!

Congrats to CASH CAB!!

Dick Clark ... you made me cry just watching you break down.

Congrats to the Ellen D show ~

I want to write more, but I feel traumatized about finding out about ATWT being cancelled.

MTV Movie Awards

Sandra Bullock is back!

I only watched the awards because I wanted to see how she was doing ... and I'm glad she looked great!!!

The Tom Cruise and J. Lo bit was alright ~

I thought X-Tina's performance was the best of the night.

And how awkward was the Rob Pat & K-Stewart kiss.

2010 Oscar Nominations!!

Today was the reveal of the 2010 Oscar Nominations!!

Here are my picks on who I want to win!

Best Picture:I haven't seen half of the movies nominated,
but just for creativity, I would really love for AVATAR to win. Several
were based on novels, and my next choice would be THE BLIND SIDE.

Lead Actor:George Clooney

Supporting Actor:Matt Damon

Lead Actress:Sandra Bullock (my pick the day i saw the movie)

Supporting Actress:Mo'Nique

Animated Film:UP (i have no idea what The Secret Of Kells is about, i didnt see it in my theatre)

Directing:The Hurt Locker
*OK ~ so I love James Cameron, however, I keep thinking
of this category as "directing REAL people", so my pick
go to the "former wife" of James Cameron ~ Kathryn Bigelow.

Art Direction:Avatar

Cinematography:Inglorious Bastards
*Real Location VS fantastic CGI location (Avatar)

Costume Design:Coco Before Chanel

Film Editing:Avatar

Make Up:Star Trek

Music:Avatar
* another Oscar for James Horner

Adapted Sceenplay:Up In The Air

Screen Actors Guild

Its the Screen Actors Guild Awards!!

Congrats to Sandra Bullock!!
Congrats to GLEE!!

Golden Globes Night!!

It's Golden Globes Night!!

Congrats to Sandra Bullock!!
Congrats to Avatar & James Cameron!
Congrats to UP!
Congrats to UP IN THE AIR screenplay!

Oscar Night!!!!

It's Oscars Night!!!

I think I watched enough movies this
year and feel confident about my "picks"
for the winners.

I'm still really disappointed in
The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.
Even if I really LOVED Slumdog Millionair,
I would have wanted a reason for Brad Pitt
to win. Now, not having watched
The Wrestler or Milk, I would rather
have Mickey Rourke or Sean Penn win.

ANYWAYS:

Congrats to SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!!
1. Motion Picture
2. Director
3. Adapted Screen Play
4. Cinematography
5. Sound Mixing
6. Original Score
7. Origianl Song
8. Film Editing



And also ~ Congrats to Heath Ledger

I was WRONG in only two categories:
1. Sean Penn beat out Mickey Rourke
2. Art Direction went to Curious Case / NOT Dark Knight!

SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE ... WINS BAFTA AWARDS!

More awards for Slumdog Millionaire!

This time The British Academy of Film and Television Arts
had honored the movie in these categories.
1. Best Film
2. Director
3. Adapted Screenplay
4. Music
5. Sound
6. Editing

** And congratulations to Heath Ledger too

Grammy Night

It's Grammy Night!

When I was younger I wanted to win this
award ... however ... I CANT SING!!

I wanted to do a Best New Artist acceptance
speech.

I thought there would never be a chance
that I could ever get one, but now I know
its possible for me in these categories
that has nothing to do with me singing :

1. Song Of The Year (song writing)
2. Best Compilation Soundtrack Album (producer)
3. Best Musical Show Album (lyricist)
4. Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television

ANOTHER WIN FOR SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE!

Danny Boyle wins the DGA Award!!

Slumdog Wins SAG Awards!

I was hoping and praying that the SAG would
honor the actors of Slumdog Millioniare, I
thought that maybe the guild would have wanted
the cast of Milk or Doubt since Meryl & Sean
won ... but when Slumdog was announced ...
I WAS SOO HAPPY!!

THANK YOU SAG!! THANK YOU FOR ALL WHO VOTED
FOR SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE ~

I wish that the kids were there to accept the
award, but Im glad Freida Pinto gave out their
names ... she gets BEST DRESSED in my opinion.



PS.
Congrats to Heath Ledger
Congrats to Tina Fey who had the funniest
speech ... regarding her daughter & residuals.

2009 Golden Globes Nominations

My Thoughts On The Golden Globes Nominations:

Its another year of awards ... i try to watch
everything nominated, but i just dont' have that
much time on my hands ~

I have yet to see any of the "Best Picture" nominees,
so I can't say who i think should win ~

I really think MAMMA MIA will win for "Best Musical" ~

I think I'll see what movie wins in the "Best Foreign Film"
then I'll watch it to see if it wins the Oscar.

Heath Ledger SHOULD win for "Best Supporting Actor" ~

BOLT should win for "Best Animated Film"

I have not watched any films in the "Best Screenplay"
category ... which is just SAD, SAD, SAD!

The TELEVISION category:
All I can say is the America Ferrera & Neil Patrick Harris
should win ~
