Award Season is in full swing now and leading up to March 7th, when people will win this guy
In my mind, award season is like an actual holiday season. I look forward to it for months. It all kicks off with the Golden Globes in January, then the Screen Actors Guild, the the Directors Guild Awards (though not really a televised event), then the Grammys and finally the Oscars. Of course at other times throughout the year I like to watch the Emmys too. Too bad I'm not a country music fan because it seems like they have award shows every other week!
I'm serious when I say I'm into the award shows. For each of the award ceremonies, I watch the pre-show, the actual show, the after show (if there is one) and finally, I watch the Fashion Police on the following night, where the fashions from the night before are critiqued.
Unless you live under a rock, you probably know that the Oscar nominations were announced this morning. I'm still pretty hacked that the Academy decided to up the Best Picture nominees from 5 to 10 so that "more box office hits" could be included. Here's the deal. I'm a total movie snob, I'll admit it. I sometimes like mainstream, box office hits, but more often than not, I like the critically acclaimed movies. Many of the box office hits don't belong in the same category as the ones normally nominated. They just don't...It's kind of like putting a pair of Nine Wests on a shelf next to a glorious pair of Louboutins. It SHOULD NOT be done.
To add to the irritation for me, if there were only the 5 nominees as in the past, then I probably would have come very close to my yearly goal of actually seeing all 5 before the ceremony!
Anyway, my hopes for the 2010 Academy Awards are:
(1) The fashions are fab-u-lous!
(2) James Cameron and Avatar lose big (I don't care for him and though I haven't seen the movie, in my mind it is just a big freakin' video game)
(3) Brad and Angie come together and look stunning and Happy (why do I care?)
(4) Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin are great hosts
(5) All my favs win! (I'm really torn in several categories though!)
Less than a month and counting!
