Golden Globe Nominations


Another group of nominations were released today, its time for the Golden Globes!  A lot of differences between the SAG nominations, definitely a few surprises, both good and bad. Take a look!


Best motion picture, drama

"12 Years a Slave"
"Captain Phillips"
"Gravity"
"Philomena"
"Rush"

Wow, I'm really surprised that The Butler isn't here, I thought it was much, much better then 12 Years a Slave. Really disappointed in this list. I'd have to go with Gravity I think. I really enjoyed it and it was beautiful.

Best motion picture, musical or comedy

"American Hustle"
"Her"
"Inside Llewyn Davis"
"Nebraska"
"The Wolf of Wall Street"

I haven't seen any of these films yet, many haven't been released so its hard to say. Really looking forward to American Hustle and The Wolf of Wall Street though. However, I've heard a lot of great things about Nebraska so there may be a chance that it pulls everything off.

Best Actress in a motion picture, drama

Cate Blanchett "Blue Jasmine"
Sandra Bullock - "Gravity"
Judi Dench - "Philomena
Emma Thompson - "Saving Mr. Banks"
Kate Winslet - "Labor Day"

I haven't seen a lot of these films, but from what I've seen I think Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet have a pretty good shot. Cannot believe that Oprah isn't nominated for this one. I thought she was AMAZING in The Butler.

Best Actor in a motion picture, drama

Chiwetel Ejiofor - "12 Years a Slave"
Idris Elba - "Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom"
Tom Hanks - "Captain Phillips"
Matthew McConaughey - "Dallas Buyers Club"
Robert Redford - "All Is Lost"

Again, haven't seen a lot of these, but I think Matthew McConaughey has a really great chance of winning.

Best Actress in a motion picture, musical or comedy

Amy Adams - "American Hustle"
Julie Delpy - "Before Midnight"
Greta Gerwig - "Frances Ha"
Julia Louis-Dreyfus - "Enough Said"
Meryl Streep - "August: Osage County"

Meryl Streep looks like she did a great job in August: Osage County.

Best Actor in a motion picture, musical or comedy

Christian Bale - "American Hustle"
Bruce Dern - "Nebraska"
Leonardo DiCaprio - "The Wolf Of Wall Street"
Oscar Isaac - "Inside Llewyn Davis"
Joaquin Phoenix - "Her"

I have yet to see any of these but as far as I can tell they all look like they gave some amazing performances. I'd love to see Christian Bale or Leonardo DiCaprio get it.

Best supporting Actress in a motion picture

Sally Hawkins - "Blue Jasmine"
Jennifer Lawrence - "American Hustle"
Lupita Nyong'o - "12 Years a Slave"
Julia Roberts - "August: Osage County"
June Squibb - "Nebraska"

Really tough to say but from what I've seen Julia Roberts looks like she has a pretty good chance.

Best supporting Actor in a motion picture

Barkhad Abdi - "Captain Phillips"
Daniel Brühl - "Rush"
Bradley Cooper - "American Hustle"
Michael Fassbender - "12 Years a Slave"
Jared Leto - "Dallas Buyers Club"

I'd say that Jared Leto has the best chance, but Michael Fassbender also did a really great job.

Best Director – motion picture

Alfonso Cuarón - "Gravity"
Paul Greengrass - "Captain Phillips"
Steve McQueen - "12 Years a Slave"
Alexander Payne - "Nebraska"
David O. Russell - "American Hustle"

Tough call, I've only seen a few so I can't really give a definite answer but I'd say Gravity or American Hustle. Really hope 12 Years a Slave doesn't win, I was super disappointed with that one.

Best Screenplay – motion picture

Spike Jonze - "Her"
Bob Nelson - "Nebraska"
Jeff Pope and Steve Coogan - "Philomena"
John Ridley - "12 Years a Slave"
Eric Warren Singer and David O. Russell - "American Hustle"

I've only seen 12 Years A Slave, and I think I've already made it clear that it does not have my vote, but David O. Russell has a great track record so I think he and Eric Warren Singer with American Hustle  have a good shot.

Best Foreign Language Film

"Blue is the Warmest Color"
"The Great Beauty"
"The Hunt"
"The Past"
"The Wind Rises"

I have seen none of these so I can't comment.

Best Animated Feature film

"The Croods"
"Despicable Me 2"
"Frozen"

I haven't seen Frozen yet and I've heard fantastic things about it so I'll have to wait and see, but The Croods and Despicable Me 2 were both really great so I'm fine with any of these choices.

Best TV series, drama

"Breaking Bad"
"Downton Abbey"
"The Goodwife"
"House of Cards"
"Masters of Sex"

I find it really difficult to choose a favourite out of these. Television is really killing it these days. I think Breaking Bad would be good as this is its last chance to win. However I love Downton Abbey and House of Cards also.

Best TV Series, Comedy

"The Big Bang Theory"
"Brooklyn Nine-Nine"
"Girls"
"Modern Family"
"Parks and Recreation"

 Some great ones here but I think my top choice would be Parks and Recreation. Girls and Parks and Recreation would also be great though.

Best TV movie or mini-series

"American Horror Story: Coven"
"Behind the Candelabra"
"Dancing on the Edge"
"Top of the Lake"
"The White Queen"

I haven't seen all of these but I absolutely loved Top of the Lake.

Top 10 Directors

This weeks list topic is Top 10 Directors. I found this list very difficult because most of these directors who have created different worlds that have changed our lives, or taught us something about ourselves that we didn't know beforehand.  10.) Sam Mendes I think most people have actually not heard of Sam Mendes, although his name is getting a lot of coverage lately for the amazing job he did on the most recent Bond film  Skyfall .  He's actually only Directed 9 films so far, but all of them have been pretty well-known and extremely well recieved.  American Beauty ,  Road to Perdition ,  Jarhead ,  Revolutionary Road , etc. Since  American Beauty  is one of my very favorite films of all time, I had to allow him to make it onto this list. Like I said, he's only done a few films but thats incredibly exciting because he definitely got some serious potential, and after seeing his most recent film,  Skyfall , I can only assume its going...

The Invisible Man

IMDB: 7.1 /10 Rotten Tomatoes: 91%(critics), 88%(audience) Director:  Leigh Whannell Writers:  Leigh Whannell Stars:  Elisabeth Moss, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Harriet Dyer, Aldis Hodge, Storm Reid Release Date:  28 February 2020 It's an absolute tragedy that this movie was released when it was because so many people(myself included) did not get to experience this movie in theatres, and unfortunately, I think a lot of people will miss it altogether because it didn't get the exposure it should have. I personally decided to pay the $20 to watch it on demand at the beginning of the pandemic, and I was glad to have the escape from reality.  I think if I had gone into this film realizing that it was from the team who brought us Paranormal Activity, and other horror movies that were way too scary for me to watch or enjoy, I think I would've run away screaming. But, thankfully my love of Elisabeth Moss and the fact that I assumed it was a thriller, made me comfortable eno...

Top 10 Comedies

24 March 2013 Since last week's list was full of tears, I thought it would be appropriate to change it up a bit and make this list full of laughter. Here's the list, I found this one pretty hard because I think that people's sense of humour are pretty different, so I think a lot of people will probably disagree with me on a lot of these, but this is my list and my blog so I don't care. 10.) Easy A I honestly don't know if this film is genuinely funny, or if the 80s bratpack movie references just took over the nostalgia part of me, but I really love this movie.  Emma Stone  is fantastic as always in this film, so many great moments. Really shows what high school is like, and how quickly rumours are started and how quickly you can go from unknown to the most popular name in school overnight. Genuinely hilarious. Apart from  Stone , the cast also includes  Amanda Bynes ,  Penn Badgley ,  Patricia Clarkson , Stanley Tucci ,  Dan Byrd ,...
