It's here, it's here! One of the biggest nights in the award show season - and I'm still excited, despite one of the most severe instances of lack of diversity that I've seen since I started watching the show. HOWEVER, not having seen all the films in question, I can't put forward concrete opinions. All I can do is offer my opinion based on the trends I'm seeing from the other shows. I will be liveblogging, this post will be updated with winners!
The show airs February 22nd, 2015. (Tomorrow!) (Yes, I had to redo the blog post; the formatting got really weird and my other one also got buried.)

Well. I'm sad to see Gillian Flynn snubbed for Gone Girl, as well as David Fincher (though I seem to be somewhat alone in enjoying that film, from the amount of people I've talked to who HATED it). And apparently snubbing Ava DuVernay for Selma was a travesty, though I haven't yet had a chance to see Selma. And my timeline blew up when the nominations were announced with outrage over the lack of nominations for The LEGO Movie.
In the end, the nominations were generally what I expected, and I have some awards I'm expecting. (Julianne Moore and J.K. Simmons, for instance.)
I'm mostly really excited to see what Neil Patrick Harris has up his sleeve. Apparently he's got the writers of Frozen writing one of his musical numbers! (Thank goodness for his musical numbers.) Tomorrow's the big night, and I'm still excited!

GONE GIRL - The Film
Gone Girl is one of my favourite books. It's dark, it's creepy, it's completely messed up - in other words, it is right up my alley. (I gravitate toward weird things, what can I say?) Gillian Flynn's unflinching portrayal of a ridiculously terrifying, manipulative person is incredible. I'm just sad I don't own a copy, but I definitely plan to rectify that as soon as possible.
WARNING: SPOILERS! Lots and lots of spoilers.
Today, I saw the film adaptation. As soon as I heard it was to be directed by David Fincher, I knew they'd definitely get the feel of the film right. And Gillian Flynn penned the screenplay - to be honest, this gave me some pause. Sometimes, when authors write the screenplays based on their books, it doesn't work out so well.
But in this case? It worked out EXTREMELY well. Gillian Flynn was not afraid to cull certain parts of her large novel for the good of the film. (And though the extended examination of the "Cool Girl" piece didn't make it into the movie, it did get mentioned, and that was something. It was addressed, but I can see why people were a little upset that it wasn't in the film to the extent that it could have been, since it is a real issue.) Everything still made sense and worked. It flowed really well. I was concerned about how they were going to make the divisions in the book clear without hitting people over the head with it. (There are distinct separations, and there are a lot of flashbacks and going back to present. It's one of the things that will also be interesting to see in a Looking for Alaska movie, but that's a whole different thing.) But the simple text in the lower corner of the screen worked really well to me. The change in Amy was also done extremely well. The clean, simple shooting style was something I really enjoyed and found was very effective, as the content is so convoluted. I loved the small titles, and the way they flashed on very quickly, just long enough to be read, and then disappeared, was really interesting. I would probably be surprised if this film didn't get some kind of editing and cinematography nominations in the coming awards season.
And let me fangirl for a second over the score. I always love Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross working together. Put them back with David Fincher, and you have got an unbeatable thematic combination. Check out this amazing article where Trent Reznor talks about making the score "Rot From the Inside". (A perfect representation of the film and the novel too!) It was haunting and disturbing, and was a big part of the reason that the film felt as dark and scary as it did.
I am sensing definite Oscar buzz for this film. I'm seeing editing and cinematography, as well as something for the score. But let's talk about the acting too.
Rosamund Pike was a beautiful, terrifying powerhouse. I will honestly be shocked if she doesn't get a Best Actress nod. I definitely think she deserves it, for performing Amy to the max - just as Amy performs Amy. All the different Amys were done brilliantly. She scared me like no other. I was very, very concerned for Ben Affleck the ENTIRE time. Anytime she was near him, especially at the end, I was on edge. (Really, the whole movie, I was on edge.) I really loved her in this role. I haven't seen Rosamund Pike in very much, and I think she's finally broken through in a bigger way.
Carrie Coon was another breakthrough for me. Again, I've seen - well, pretty much nothing in which she appears. (She does some Broadway work, which is exciting.) I'm hoping for a nod for her as well for Best Supporting Actress. She was incredible as Nick Dunne's twin sister, being just the right amount of broken and scared as she is in the novel. Nick has obviously taken on more of the familial issues than she has, but she's still a little messed up. (Yes, I also love messed up characters, is anyone surprised at this point?) I would be disappointed if she isn't announced at least once this awards season. She was incredible.
Missi Pyle was actually amazing - I love her, and she is NOT in enough films lately! She was perfect as Ellen Abbott in the few glimpses we had of her. Tyler Perry was also great as Tanner Bolt - exactly how I pictured him being, and the one liners he managed to throw out were perfectly placed. (And I don't usually like Tyler Perry, so that was surprising.)
Ben Affleck wasn't as high a point for me. Don't get me wrong, he was great - he was very smarmy and made me uncomfortable, even knowing his entire background as Nick Dunne. He was great, but parts of his performance fell a bit flat, particularly in his moments with Andie. That one's hard to explain, but he did a good job overall. In the end, especially, he was fantastic.
Neil Patrick Harris was just ALMOST creepy enough for me. ALMOST. I think this was mainly due to the fact that we didn't get as much time with Desi as we do in the novel - again, an understandable cut - but the story behind his relationship with Amy was never really told. (We never found out that he was another of her victims, and thus we didn't get to see how close she was to the mark even when making false allegations about him, as we do in the novel.) I just think with more time, we would have been able to see more of his controlling, lovesick tendencies. But in the time he had, I think he did a fantastic job; he WAS still creepy. And he dies very well! I mostly just wanted more time for him, as his utter adoration of Amy didn't really come through, and he has no chance to actually scare you. He seemed more annoyed with her. And his death was a LOT more gruesome than it is in the novel; I think that really added to the psychopath tendencies of Amy's character - in the novel, she drugs him and kills him, and doesn't bathe in his blood. (Also, she was just soaked in it for way too long! As if they wouldn't clean her up at the hospital.)
Finally, I want to discuss the nudity. There wasn't a lot - which I was fine with; the novel really doesn't involve that much - but it still irked me, as it has irked some other people, that we got extended shots of Andie's breasts, but extremely quick, almost non-existent pans over the penises of Nick and Desi. Come ON, Fincher. What's so wrong with showing them if we're going to focus on Andie in a sex scene? There wasn't even anything sexual about the scenes with Desi and Nick - well, Desi to an extent, but we got a longer shot of that. Nick was showing us he was completely clean to Amy, no wire - wouldn't we see what she sees? Hollywood has this hang up and I do wish it wasn't a thing that mattered. Just have some equal representation! (Although it was interesting that we didn't see much of Rosamund Pike either - is Amy above that? Was she so careful not to reveal herself? Just interesting - she usually had some kind of top on even during sex scenes. It's an interesting way to look at her character.)
In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed the film, and I did really feel it captured the novel in an amazing way. Amy is terrifying, and Nick going back to her despite this is also terrifying in its way. I don't think she gets away with it. Not really. There's no sequel, and Gillian Flynn has said she didn't write it to set up a sequel, but to me, she doesn't get away with it. It's an ominous ending, and she's an extreme kind of person, and that doesn't end with the ending of the book, or the movie. It's lethal and it's part of what makes the novel so intense. I thought the movie really stayed true to that feeling of intensity.

59th Annual Drama Desk Awards - Winners
The Tony Awards are TOMORROW! On that note - I won't be liveblogging like I usually do! I'm assisting in a Tony's party that's fundraising for Suzart Productions, a local Ottawa non-profit community theatre initiative. (Mostly, we just want to hang out with people and watch the Tony's, but might as well raise some money for a great cause.) Check out @OttTonyAwards on Twitter - and if you're in Ottawa, you can pay at the door to get in! Silent auction, coffee station and a fun photobooth! (ottawatonyawards.com)
Anyway. I wanted to share the Drama Desk Awards winners! Let's prep for Broadway's biggest night; I always love to see who gets the Drama Desk Awards.

CECIL B. DEMILLE AWARD
Woody Allen
8:02pm Already loving Tina and Amy. These two women are some of the smartest and funniest women in Hollywood, if not THE smartest and funniest. Great shout out to Robert Redford too! Matt Damon's face is like, 'Uh oh.' He has a great sense of humour though.
8:03pm Loving Meryl's glasses. "Meryl Streep's over 60." ACCURATE. Still great parts for Meryl, mostly because she makes them great.
8:04pm "Explosion at the Wig Factory" would definitely make a GREAT alternate title for American Hustle. Also, focusing on Jennifer Lawrence as Amy Poehler is pretty phenomenal.
8:05pm Woody Allen is winning the Cecil B. DeMille award! "Award for tiniest man with the biggest glasses." Martin Scorsese won it a few years ago! And PRETTY GREAT George Clooney burn! ("He would rather float into space than spend another minute with a woman who's his age." PARAPHRASED.)
8:06pm Yes, shout out to Her. "Takes place in the not so distant future, which is good, since so does Joaquin Phoenix." Still beyond annoyed that Scarlett Johansson got no recognition for her role.
8:08pm Over 500 instances of swearing in Wolf of Wall Street, and I would have thought it was WAY more. And they carefully avoided any in-poor-taste jokes about 12 Years a Slave.
8:09pm Ladies, kick off your shoes, and men, try them on and see how terrible they are. Thank you, Amy Poehler. I wonder how long they're going to keep the weird Tom Hanks pronunciation going.
8:11pm CALLED IT. Could have said JLaw would get Best Supporting Actress. I love how shocked she is all the time. She's lovely, despite the lack of filter.
8:18pm Gotta love when Jacqueline Bisset swore. Don't be afraid to do that, although they were on top of their bleeping. She seemed extremely overwhelmed, but I will definitely have to see Dancing on the Edge to see where this win came from.
8:27pm Elisabeth Moss beats out Helen Mirren and Jessica Lange. This is amazing. This is a good indication for the rest of the award season!
8:28pm "It's me, the garbage man. Who forgot his glasses. Fantastic." Matt Damon is a great love of mine. What a cutie.
8:34pm How LONG did it take Tina and Amy to say those names with no stumbling or laughing? These women. I tell ya.
8:35pm I am loving this President of the HFP. "Bathroom break time for those at home." I love to recognise everyone who made these things, and things every day, happen.
8:36pm If you don't appreciate stage managers, production managers, production assistants - just imagine how AWKWARD it would have been if one of these integral backstage people hadn't handed Jonah Hill and Margo that piece of paper! Wrong teleprompter information helps no one!
8:47pm It's the real Philomena Lee! This is amazing! It's an extraordinary thing to show the person the film was based upon.
9:08pm Amy DESERVES this Globe for American Hustle. She was phenomenal, as always.
9:18pm I didn't really expect Tatiana to win. It would have been cool, but first time nomination against these seasoned actresses - it was unlikely. But it would have been awesome. Despite not having had a chance to watch Orphan Black.
9:19pm OH JIM. The Shia crack. So accurate, yet so heartbreaking. Shia has been saying...well, things. Lately. Oh dear.
9:23pm I haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club but I have heard spectacular things about it, particularly about Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto. They seem like iconic roles. I can't wait to see it, but I'm also happy to see Jared get some recognition. He is super talented.
9:30pm Emma Thompson is literally one of the most talented women out there right now. She can be hilarious and also beautifully intense. But I think people often forget how absolutely fall on the floor hilarious she can be, and I'm glad to see it in evidence with that whole shoe bit tonight. So wonderful. And Spike Jonze wins Best Screenplay for Her, and if you've seen it - you get it.
9:37pm I just saw Matt Damon and Ben Affleck together. They still look to be great friends. Which is obvious. I just really love their partnerships. They play so well off of each other, and they work and create amazing things together. I occasionally go through phases of not being able to get enough of them. It's always nice to see long lasting friendships, as well as long lasting marriages.
11pm And that marks the end of another Golden Globes broadcast! (And it shockingly ended on time.) I noticed a ton of outrage over the fact that 12 Years a Slave got so little recognition. The actual swearing I saw when Matthew McConaughey won for Best Actor was actually surprising. But I haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club or 12 Years a Slave, so I can't pass real judgement on whether or not one of them should have won over the other. But this was...well, this was an experience. Nothing too crazy happened, a lot of people seemed pretty darn drunk, and it gives a relatively good indication of who is likely to win the Oscars. I will be taking some time off to do this whole liveblogging and livetweeting thing again on March 2nd, for sure, for the Academy Awards! See you then.
