2012 Golden Globe Awards: Winners List
For much of the evening, Michael Hazanavicius’ black-and-white silent film homage, The Artist , swept the Golden Globes in the comedy category, coming out on top overall with three wins for Best Original Score, Best Actor and Best Picture. Over on the drama side, Alexander Payne's The Descendants t ook home the most awards in the drama category with a Best Actor win for George Clooney and Best Pict
I watched this at a press screening and about a dozen people got up and walked out during the showing. About two or three actually applauded at the end of it, but I guess there's no accounting for ta
No one's 2015 could possibly compare to Oscar Isaac's 2015. The guy was everywhere and yet you still felt like you couldn't get enough. A lot of that is due to him turning in intimate, challenging performances like he did in Show Me a Hero , while also being the best damned fighter pilot in the resistance in Star Wars: The Force Awakens . He's the sort of superstar that seems destined to attract as much blockbuster attention as awards recognit
About 3/4 of the way through the film I was hoping for "release" almost as much as Nancy. I honestly don't understand how an actor can look at a script like this and not just say: "Damn, that is f'ed up!" and just move on to the next
Steven Spielberg's War Horse managed to land six nods, but the bulk of its nominations were for technical achievements; by comparison, Alexander Payne's The Descendants raked in five, including (as expected) one for George Clooney as an actor, and others in areas like adapted screenplay and direction. Similar to War Horse , David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo landed mostly technical category nods - though, Rooney Mara was recognized for her performance in the f
In 2014, however, the Academy seemed to slip back to their more obscure choices. Clint Eastwood's American Sniper was the only Best Picture nominee to gross over $100 million by the night of the ceremony and had made more than its seven competitors combined. The average domestic total for a nominee this year was just $77.6 million: an average which is respectable, but a far cry from the averages of the past two years, where multiple blockbusters contended for Best Pict
Honestly, this one is a crapshoot. There isn't a performer on here who doesn't have a legitimate claim to the award given the work they've done this year. Rodriguez took the Globe home last year, and since we've inadvertently started a trend that 2016 will be the year of the repeat, we'll bet that Rodriguez goes home with it ag
So, all in all, just another year at the Oscars - complete with plenty of obvious choices, surprising snubs, and a handful of unexpected nominations. Whether or not the actual winners list will be quite so predictable - or, perhaps, mix things up a bit - that remains to be s
King already took home an Emmy for her role in American Crime (and she deserves another for The Leftovers ), so seeing her win a Golden Globe wouldn’t come as much of a surprise. Her role wasn't as showy as the others, but it demonstrated what a terrific actress King is and why she's one of those performers who makes things better just by being in t
The other issue that some will raise is the bloated nature of the telecast. Beginning at 8:30 p.m. EST, Sean Penn didn't announce that Birdman had won Best Picture until 11:48 p.m. In between all the awards being handed out, viewers were expected to slog their way through comedy bits that arguably fell flat, musical performances, and several commercial breaks. In this day and age, fans can find out who wins in real time via social media and see any speeches they're interested in watching online shortly after the original telecast. The need to see the show live has decrea
This almost feels like an impossible choice. Both actresses consistently bring their A-game to a pair of television shows that are incredibly fun to watch, even if they tend to stray from being great television from time to time. Honestly, if either woman were to win for this category it would feel like a win for television in general. Henson is long overdue for some recognition for her work on Empire – and that series is only halfway through its second season, if that tells you anything. Green, meanwhile, has been making Showtime's macabre, gothic adventure program, Penny Dreadful , her own since that series' second epis
Unlike the Golden Globes, Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life was recognized, as was Gary Oldman for his much-praised lead turn in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . Notable absences include praised indie titles (and Screen Rant favorites) Shame and Martha Marcy May Marlene in the acting categories, while Nicolas Winding Refn's Drive only managed to land one nod, in the technical categor
FOX's Brooklyn Nine-Nine made a big movie awards game strategy|https://moviefestivalhub.com/ splash its first season, and then seemingly shifted away from the spotlight. That's too bad, because it is has become one of those shows that is too good for its own good, and Braugher is a big part of why that is true. His performance as Capt. Ray Holt has grown into one of the most consistently hilarious roles in a comedy to
