  • End of Award Season

    Well guys~ it was fun… I guess.
    it was very interesting to see who was really gonna win.

    A lot of people I know ended up as satisfied as they could have with the winners, though I know of one or two who weren’t, which is funny seeing as how inconsistent their opinions are.

    Anyway, the Award Season updates is gone now, until it begins again this December. In the meantime, this were the last 10 posts of the season.

  • Oscar 2010 Winners

    Red carpet is on at the moment. I have realized I can’t watch Red Carpet events anymore. Thank you incompetent entertainment journalist, and up-staging Oscar attendees.

    If you haven’t checked the predictions, check them here.

    Will be live blogging and posting winners during the night,
    check back and refresh often.

  • Oscar 2010 Winner Predictions

    I’d figure I’d make this post count for today, instead of tomorrow xD – If you followed, I made Oscar 2010 Nomination Predictions which were pretty okay, except it was 10% down from last year. But my record is 85%

    As for my Oscar winners, last year I made a 20/24… that’s 83%, though my record is 87% in 2003 xD

    Predictions include “most likely to win” to “less likely to win”

    According to these predictions (can’t believe I’m wishing that I get it wrong!) – Hurt Locker wins 3, and Avatar wins 6 – though they’re all technical.

    So how say you?

  • Spirit Awards 2010 Predictions

    I’m not sure i-sat will be broadcasting the Indie Spirits Live this year, as the schedule says it will air at 11pm, so I literally have no idea. Actually, I think they might be live and they just begin really REALLY late as the email they just sent me says that:

    8pm Pacific Time/ 11pm Eastern Time
    Hosted by Eddie Izzard

    So there you go…

    Anyway, I dunno where you can watch the show, but you can check the Live Arrival over at the Spirit Awards Ustream TV Channel. You can even check out the music they will be using~

    Here comes the predictions~

  • Vote for the Green Globe Film Awards

    This seems VERY open. It’s Asian, and it’s also Hollywood… so it seems like my kind of award. Funny thing is that some of those nominees seem very off and certainly kind of random.

    For example the historical film The Founding of a Republic is… nominated for Best Comedy? OMG, is that ironic? Also… Inglourious Basterds didn’t make it to Best 2009 Film (even though you can vote for “other” and add it), and Bigelow didn’t make it to Best 2009 Director…

    Anyway, some of the nominees in the international bits include usual suspects Avatar, The Hurt Locker, District 9, A Prophet, and Inglourious Basterds~~~ even Peru’s The Milk of Sorrow. xD

    The Asian nominees include Mother, Thirst, Air Doll, Red Cliff, Ponyo, Forever Enthralled, Nobody to Watch Over me, Jackie Chan, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Eason Chan, Rain, Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, etc.

    Some of the unusual categories include Best Asian Entertainer in Hollywood, Best Asian Movie of the Decade, 10 Best Asian Actors and Actresses…

    You can vote here.

  • BAFTA Winners 2010

    I’m almost kind of glad BAFTA decided to honor their own by naming Firth and Mulligan Best Actor and Actress, even though I haven’t seen A Single Man yet, I felt very underwhelmed after watching Crazy Heart.

    The Hurt Locker puts itself front and center coming Oscar week with this BAFTA sweep, which makes me a bit tingly inside. If only a set of much better films could have joined Hurt Locker, it would make make Bigelow’s future win a little less bittersweet.

    And I’m not even mad Let the Right One in lost to A Prophet, because both are such great films.

    Anyway, here are the winners…

  • Satellites Always Get Forgotten

    These were announced on December, LOL
    And I didn’t even post on 2008 xD

    But the Satellite Awards were out, sadly Toni Collete lost Best Actress Comedy in favor of Lea Michelle on Glee. And Toni lost her SAG nod… that means I got 2/4. Damn.

    Anyway, I dunno how popular the Satellite is, but they do have some wacky choices.

    First of all, there was no Avatar. Praise Geezus. LOL

    • (500) Days of Summer
    • A Serious Man
    • An Education
    • Bright Star

    • Precious
    • The Hurt Locker
    • The Stoning of Soraya M.
    • Up in the Air

  • Directors Choose Hurt Locker~

    This race is turning into an interesting one, as the Director’s Guild names Kathryn Bigelow the Best Director of the year for her film The Hurt Locker. Why this is pretty awesome? She’s the first female director to ever get it… which means she might be writing Oscar history if she wins that night. *crosses fingers*

    Other winners are the directors of the documentary The Cove (omg, I really wanna be wrong on this one), Mad Men… and Modern Family.

    Check out all the winners here.
