2010 Oscar Predictions – Pt. 2
Voters are instructed to rank the ten nominees from one to ten with one being their favorite film and so on. That sounds simple, but alas, it’s not.
2010 Oscar Predictions – Pt. 1
I have yet to lose the Oscar pool at our Academy Awards party and I don’t intend to this year either.
Olympic Fever
Here are five things that you should pay attention to during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Blinded by the Oscar nominations
Best Picture: Avatar, The Blind Side, An Education, District 9, The Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds, Precious, A Serious Man, Up, and Up in the Air.
Top Ten Emmys of the 2000s
The decade that gave us “Survivor”, “Who wants to Marry a Millionaire” and “American Idol,” also gave us groundbreaking, original, and wonderful television that we deeply needed and still appreciate.
Top Ten Tonys of the 2000s
Given that the 90s gave us great musical theatre like “Rent” and “The Lion King,” the new decade had a lot to live up to.
Top Ten Grammys of the 2000s
The thing about the Grammys is that they are sort of like your weird aunt that shows up for the holidays. All you know is that she is random and doesn’t seem to make much sense.
Top Ten Oscars of the 2000s
I plan on taking on the Tonys, Emmys and Grammys in the next few weeks, but I thought I would start by examining Oscar’s chosen few from the past decade.
Film Review – Up in the Air
If there was a time capsule that could represent 2009 as a whole, it would have to include “Up in the Air.”
Film Review – Nine
In the end, it’s still that hollow musical that came out in the early eighties. It’s fun, it’s enjoyable and it’s beautiful. But at best, it’s more like a 6 or a 6.5.
Film Review – Avatar
This was a movie that many have waited years for. This is also a movie that many wanted to be brilliant despite the fact that the trailer disappointed.
Oscar derby…Where we stand?
I thought I’d take a moment before the holidays to access where we stand in the race and which films deserve your immediate viewing.
And the Grammy goes to WHAT?
The Grammy is the highest level of achievement that a recording artist can get. The Grammys reward close to one hundred different categories ranging from pop to polka, and everything in between.
Film Review – Precious
Let me go on record and say that everything you have heard about the movie is true. It is brilliant!
Film Review – An Education
“An Education” is a nice, little (just about an hour and a half) movie with a lot to say. This is a pre-Beatles time where everyone is still buttoned up and stubborn.
Black Friday Survival Guide
I always acknowledge that I look at Black Friday as survival of the fittest. I think it requires both great patience and determination.
Five to be thankful for
I thought I would take a few lines to celebrate five pieces of entertainment (not film, yet…DAMNIT) that we should be thankful for.
Five to wait for
A sampling of films that should be highly praised and may even get the chance to dance around with that little golden guy.
