SAG Awards Nominations


It's the most wonderful time of the year! Awards season has begun and I could not be more excited! The SAG Award nominations were released today so I thought I'd take a look and give some feedback.


FILM
My opinions on the film category is going to be pretty slim because I've only seen a handful of the films.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A CAST IN A MOTION PICTURE
"12 Years A Slave"
"American Hustle"
"August: Osage County"
"Dallas Buyers Club"
"Lee Daniels' The Butler"
I think this is going to be a tough one. I've only seen The Butler and 12 Years A Slave, but I really want to see the other 3. Of the ones I've seen, I'd pick The Butler, but the cast of American Hustle is fantastic so I think that one has a pretty great cast. David O'Russell has a pretty great track record with cast performances so I can't wait to check it out!
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Bruce Dern, "Nebraska"
Chiwetel Ejiofor, "12 Years A Slave"
Tom Hanks, "Captain Phillips"
Matthew McConaughey, "Dallas Buyers Club"
Forest Whitaker, "Lee Daniels' The Butler"
Tough one, I think I'll have to see a few more films to make a decision, but I've heard great things about McConaughey and Bruce Dern.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Cate Blanchett, "Blue Jasmine"
Sandra Bullock, "Gravity"
Judi Dench, "Philomena"
Meryl Streep, "August: Osage County"
Emma Thompson, "Saving Mr. Banks"
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Barkhad Abdi, "Captain Phillips"
Daniel Bruhl, "Rush"
Michael Fassbender, "12 Years A Slave"
James Gandolfini, "Enough Said"
Jared Leto, "Dallas Buyers Club"
I've only seen 12 Years A Slave so again I can't really comment but I think that Jared Leto in Dallas Buyers Club seemed to really give it 100% so I think he really has a chance.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Jennifer Lawrence, "American Hustle"
Lupita Nyong'o, "12 Years A Slave"
Julia Roberts, "August: Osage County"
June Squibb, "Nebraska"
Oprah Winfrey, "Lee Daniels' The Butler"
Again, I've only seen two of these, but I thought that Oprah was unreal. She would definitely be my choice.
OUTSTANDING ACTION PERFORMANCE BY STUNT ENSEMBLE MOTION PICTURE
"All is Lost"
"Fast and Furious 6"
"Lone Survivor"
"Rush"
"The Wolverine"
The Wolverine is the only one I've seen, and I thought it was pretty good, probably wouldn't win though.
TELEVISION

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A DRAMA SERIES
"Boardwalk Empire"
"Breaking Bad"
"Downton Abbey"
"Game of Thrones"
"Homeland"
So tough! I love these shows. I think I'd go with Breaking Bad though. Such a fantastic series overall. I'd be happy with any though. 
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY AN ENSEMBLE IN A COMEDY SERIES
"30 Rock"
"Arrested Development"
"The Big Bang Theory"
"Modern Family"
"Veep"
 I would LOVE to see Arrested Development win this one! Its been so long.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Steve Buscemi, "Boardwalk Empire"
Bryan Cranston, "Breaking Bad"
Jeff Daniels, "The Newsroom"
Peter Dinklage, "Game of Thrones"
Kevin Spacey, "House of Cards"
Definitely Kevin Spacey. He was absolutely magnificent in this series, he's one of my favourite actors and this performance just puts it over the top!
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A DRAMA SERIES
Claire Danes, "Homeland"
Anna Gunn, "Breaking Bad"
Jessica Lange, "American Horror Story"
Maggie Smith, "Downton Abbey"
Kerry Washington, "Scandal"
Claire Danes is pretty fantastic, but Anna Gunn would be a great way to end the series. Such a great group of strong women, I'd be happy with any!
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock"
Jason Bateman, "Arrested Development"
Ty Burrell, "Modern Family"
Don Cheadle, "House of Lies"
Jim Parsons, "The Big Bang Theory"
Ty Burrell is so hilarious. Definitely one of my favourite characters in a comedy right now. He always cracks me up.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A COMEDY SERIES
Mayim Bialik, "The Big Bang Theory"
Julie Bowen, "Modern Family"
Edie Falco, "Nurse Jackie"
Tina Fey, "30 Rock"
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, "Veep"
Probably Julie Bowen or Tina Fey. Great characters.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A MALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR MINISERIES
Matt Damon, "Behind the Candelabra"
Michael Douglas, "Behind the Candelabra"
Jeremy Irons, "The Hollow Crown"
Rob Lowe, "Killing Kennedy"
Al Pacino, "Phil Spector"
Unfortunately I have not seen any of these yet, but I've seen some great things about Michael Douglas.
OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE BY A FEMALE ACTOR IN A TELEVISION MOVIE OR MINISERIES
Angela Bassett, "Betty and Corretta"
Helena Bonham Carter, "Burton and Taylor"
Holly Hunter, "Top of the Lake"
Helen Mirren, "Phil Spector"
Elisabeth Moss, "Top of the Lake"
Top of the Lake was fantastic, Elisabeth Moss and Holly Hunter were both fantastic, but I think my top choice would be Elisabeth Moss.
OUTSTANDING ACTION PERFORMANCE BY STUNT ENSEMBLE IN A TELEVISION SERIES
"Boardwalk Empire"
"Breaking Bad"
"Game of Thrones"
"Homeland"
"The Walking Dead"
Probably Game of Thrones? I'd imagine that it requires a lot more training and skill.

BARBIE

IMDB:  7.4 /10 Rotten Tomatoes:  88%(critics), 84%(audience) Director:  Greta Gerwig Writers:  Greta Gerwig & Noah Baumbach Stars:  Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu Release Date:  21 July 2023 Wow. I saw this movie on July 23rd and I've been thinking about it ever since. Right off the bat, the first thing that has to be mentioned is the absolutely stunning and wildly impressive set design. The backdrops, the houses, all of the set decoration in Barbieland is PERFECTION. All of the travel sequences are so fun and beautiful and creative. I would love to believe that Barbie can help usher in a new era, where we can go back to at least having some movie with real honest to god set design in a sound stage, without so much CGI. Set Dec is 10/10 Next, I have to talk about Greta Gerwig 's clear love of cinema. From the opening sequence that starts with a perfect 2001: A Space Odyssey parody which they absolutely nailed, to a hilarious Matri...

Top 10 Halloween Movies For Adults

I definitely need to start off by saying that I hate horror movies and therefore there are going to be some classic slasher films missing that most people would expect to see. Apologies to those people, but I just have no interest in those ones. However, I can definitely say that all of the films listed are fantastic movies so please enjoy! 10.) Sleepy Hollow Surprise! Tim Burton and Johnny Depp made a movie together! I haven't seen this movie in a few years, but damn is it creepy and weird. It definitely fits the halloween criteria with the classic Headless Horseman tale. This movie is one of my favourite Tim Burton movies, which obviously means that the lead is Johnny Depp. This is a perfect character for Depp and he plays it very well. The rest of the class is great and includes Christina Ricci, Michael Gambon, Richard Griffiths, Jeffrey Jones, and Christopher Walken. Depp plays Ichabod Crane, who is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of 3 people.  H...

Top 10 Film Trilogies

Originally Posted: 27 January 2013 So, we all have our own favorites when it comes to trilogies.

So here is this weeks Top 10 list:  Top 10 Film Trilogies 10.) Jason Borne Trilogy I actually almost forgot about these ones when I was first making the list. I've only ever seen each one once, so theres actually a huge possibility that they should be higher, but until the day comes that I decide I need to see them again, they will stay at #10. These made me have some serious respect for  Matt Damon , especially in The Borne Ultimatum, where he did a lot of the stunt work himself. These films are a perfect example of how to have an action movie with a real story to it. Really great.
