Here is the full list of nominees and winners of the 87th Academy Awards, after the ceremony held on February 22nd, 2015. As you will see, no surprises, nothing out of range. Everybody almost expected these particular awards, I have no comments to add. Finally, Mr. Iñárritu has been awarded how he expected himself. With Babel, he just expected, but his expectations and hopes were turned upside down by Mr. Scorsese's friends and supporters. That was a surprise that I liked quite a lot. I remember … [Read more...]
My Grasp on the Oscars 2015
I haven't got the time to watch Selma and Wild, and I'm not going to comment on them yet. Maybe I'll do it another day, long after the Oscars 2015. Not a big deal, I suppose. None of them are big favorites for the Best Picture, and Selma, for sample, doesn't have a nomination on other important categories either. Too bad for them. [source: imdb.com] All in all, it wasn't a spectacular year for Oscars. There is one exception though, The Grand Budapest Hotel, my only full 10 on the whole … [Read more...]
Oscars Nominations 2015
I'm not doing like last year, when I published innumerable posts on nominees and awards, Golden Globe, SAG, Independent Films, etc. Just the Golden Globes and the Oscars, just to be more practical, especially that I don't want to comment too much, since I haven't watched yet all the movies. Anyway, among the actors, I have to salute a few new names nominated this year for the Oscars. Unfortunately, no Leo this year. I have a feeling that next year he will won the Best Actor for sure, with one … [Read more...]
2015 Golden Globe Awards
Here is the full list of nominees and winners! No comments from me, this is how I've taken it from the press. I have to mention that the ceremony has been brilliantly presented the third time in a row, by the same comical and hilarious former SNL ladies, Tina Fey and Amy Pohler, good friends in real life too. No video this year, I mean, you have to look for the video on your own. George Clooney has been there yesterday night, with his human rights lawyer wife, and received in person the Cecil B. … [Read more...]
Cannes 2014 – The Awards
Jane Campion, the Jury President, said she was afraid she'll need to go to the toilet during Winter Sleep screening, being a film so long, three hours sixteen minutes, but watching it, she said that she'll stay two hours more. Along with the other members, she has been impressed by the poetry, the political complex situation and the female characters. I haven't watched the movie, but I can't wait. It'll be launched in August. [source] I know, I've started this post with the middle, or … [Read more...]
