Golden Globes Nominations 2017 -- UPDATED W/ WINNERS

Hey, so I forgot about this blog again. BUT awards season is starting! So. As usual, the Golden Globes are first, and here are the nods! I'll probably do a separate post listing the winners so the updated post doesn't get lost. I'm excited! Although as usual, I may not get to watch the broadcast live. Damn lack of cable and no online viewing options for Canadians.

UPDATE: I did not get to watch the broadcast but bolded titles/people are winners, as usual! (And I decided to just update the post after all.)

BEST MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

Moonlight
Hell or High Water
Lion
Manchester By the Sea
Hacksaw Ridge

BEST MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY

La La Land
20th Century Women
Deadpool
Florence Foster Jenkins
Sing Street

I just saw La La Land tonight, and I could barely speak as the end credits rolled. I was so moved and awed by this film; this is what dreams, and movies, are made of. This reminded me of why I love the movies. It had the nostalgic feel of those original movie musicals that were so loved, but had modern elements that worked seamlessly.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

Isabelle Huppert - Elle
Amy Adams - Arrival
Jessica Chastain - Miss Sloane
Ruth Negga - Loving
Natalie Portman - Jackie

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE - DRAMA

Casey Affleck - Manchester By the Sea
Joel Edgerton - Loving
Andrew Garfield - Hacksaw Ridge
Viggo Mortenson - Captain Fantastic
Denzel Washington - Fences

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Emma Stone - La La Land
Annette Bening - 20th Century Women
Lily Collins - Rules Don't Apply
Hailee Steinfeld - The Edge of Seventeen
Meryl Streep - Florence Foster Jenkins

Emma. She is old Hollywood glamour and relatable girl in this. She's the whole package. During the song about her aunt jumping in the Seine, tears streamed down my face, simply because of the power in her voice and face. She moved me, more than I have been moved by a performance in a long time. I'm predicting Oscar, even if she is up against Meryl.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE - MUSICAL OR COMEDY

Ryan Gosling - La La Land
Colin Farrell - The Lobster
Hugh Grant - Florence Foster Jenkins
Jonah Hill - War Dogs
Ryan Reynolds - Deadpool

I'm in agreement. Gosling is an all-time favourite of mine, but in this, he was incredible. I hadn't heard him sing before that I remember, but he was excellent. And to find out that that is him playing the piano like an absolute boss was amazing. I adored him, as usual.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

Viola Davis - Fences
Naomie Harris - Moonlight
Nicole Kidman - Lion
Octavia Spencer - Hidden Figures
Michelle Williams - Manchester By the Sea

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN ANY MOTION PICTURE

Aaron Taylor-Johnson - Nocturnal Animals
Mahershala Ali - Moonlight
Jeff Bridges - Hell or High Water
Simon Helberg - Florence Foster Jenkins
Dev Patel - Lion

BEST DIRECTOR - MOTION PICTURE

Damien Chazelle - La La Land
Tom Ford - Nocturnal Animals
Mel Gibson - Hacksaw Ridge
Barry Jenkins - Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan - Manchester By the Sea

BEST SCREENPLAY - MOTION PICTURE

Damien Chazelle - La La Land
Tom Ford - Nocturnal Animals
Barry Jenkins - Moonlight
Kenneth Lonergan - Manchester By the Sea
Taylor Sheridan - Hell or High Water

What entirely disappoints me about these two previous categories is the same faces, and the complete and utter lack of women. It isn't like women created nothing. (Example.) I don't fault Chazelle's wins in both categories; as expressed above, that film floored me. But I know there could have been more diversity. We're still working to be represented, and I don't think it's an unimportant consideration going into the new year.

BEST MOTION PICTURE - ANIMATED

Moana
My Life As a Zucchini
Sing

"Faith" - Sing
"Gold" - Gold
"How Far I'll Go" - Moana

BEST TELEVISION SERIES - DRAMA

The Crown

I'm a freely admitted royals addict, so of course I watched this. It was done respectfully and was fascinating, and absolutely incredibly acted. A deftly painted portrait.

CECIL B. DEMILLE AWARD

Meryl Streep

Academy Awards - UPDATED WITH WINNERS

The biggest awards ceremony of the year is almost upon us. The nominations were announced this morning, and there have already been many, many discussions. (Somewhat overshadowed by the world learning of the death of Alan Rickman. My heart is broken.) Most of these discussions center around the fact that the nominations are...pretty white-centric. And they are. They always are. This needs to change, but we need to be changing the Academy roster to do this. They're working on it, but it's going to take a long time to roll over. People are invited every year (I usually post this list too), but it depends on those people. And politics are a huge factor that people like to either mock or pretend don't exist. Politics are the main way the Academy Awards happen at all.

However, this ceremony still fascinates me. I like to see what's obviously Oscar material. It's an interesting cultural view. A really good thing, though, is that Mad Max: Fury Road actually got a ton of nominations, and I have to say, I wasn't expecting it to see it in anything but the technical categories. Nice surprise, I'll take it!

BEST PICTURE
The Big Short
Bridge of Spies
Brooklyn
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Martian
The Revanant
Room
Spotlight

ACTOR IN A LEADING ROLE
Bryan Cranston, Trumbo
Matt Damon, The Martian
Leonardo DiCaprio, The Revenant
Michael Fassbender, Steve Jobs
Eddie Redmayne, The Danish Girl

There aren't really any surprises in this category, as usual. I'm glad to see Bryan Cranston. And maybe this will be the year poor Leonardo DiCaprio actually gets his damn Oscar! (I haven't seen The Revenant so I can't comment on whether or not he would deserve it for this specific role.)

ACTRESS IN A LEADING ROLE
Cate Blanchett, Carol
Brie Larson, Room
Jennifer Lawrence, Joy
Charlotte Rampling, 45 Years
Saoirse Ronan, Brooklyn

It's weird that I haven't seen J-Law's new film; usually, I watch everything she's in. I've heard next to nothing about Joy, though - she did win the Globe, so there must be a little merit there. And I'm happy for Saoirse Ronan - she's incredible! I'm thinking Brie Larson or Cate Blanchett, though.

ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Christian Bale, The Big Short
Tom Hardy, The Revenant
Mark Ruffalo, Spotlight
Mark Rylance, Bridge of Spies
Sylvester Stallone, Creed

This could be the year for Sly; a lot of people are gunning for him to win. Glad to see Mark Rylance in there; a bit of a different lineup!

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Jennifer Jason Leigh, The Hateful Eight
Rooney Mara, Carol
Rachel McAdams, Spotlight
Alicia Vikander, The Danish Girl
Kate Winslet, Steve Jobs

I'm just happy to see my girl Rachel McAdams back in the film world. I can't wait to see Spotlight. And I sort of can't believe this is her first Oscar nod! I'm also hearing a lot about Alicia Vikander suddenly.

THIS WAS CRAZY. Can't believe Bond won over a song with an essential message, sung so incredibly by Gaga. (And introduced by Joe Biden, randomly but amazingly.)

The 87th Annual Academy Award - Nominees

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.)

Another lock, but so deserved. I've loved this man's work for years, and it's so important he be recognised finally.

ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE
Patricia Arquette - Boyhood
Laura Dern - Wild
Keira Knightley - The Imitation Game
Emma Stone - Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
Meryl Streep - Into the Woods

This was one of my locks - I KNEW it. But it is so deserved. AND THAT SPEECH! INCREDIBLE. Meryl Streep jumped out of her seat and I did too. Equality!

COSTUME DESIGN

Maleficent - Anna B. Sheppard

I have to say this was a surprise! I always figure Colleen Atwood, but I also really adore Colleen Atwood. I also find it interesting that we have a token male in this category, rather than a token female. I love women, and they run the world, but more men should feel like they can get into costume design too.

I kind of called this. It was a very Wes Anderson, fantastical set, and was a beautiful design. Though I haven't seen the other ones, besides Into the Woods.

I've also started a hashtag - it's probably too long to catch on, but I like to add it to the lesser known, lesser recognised categories like this. #thesecategoriesmattertoo

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!
