Movie Awards Season 2012

^Tina and Amy were fabulous, I've watched their opening over 10 times and I'm still laughing. Even the lesser jokes (Amy singing and Tina's Sarah Palin) were okay because they just continued on. Having them co-host was a genius move and I wish they would host everything together.

Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell were absolutely hilarious, the best part was just how they kept going on and on in character only to finish with the genius Muriel Street.

For the wins, I'm baffled by Hugh Jackman and Les Miserables winning. I wanted Cooper to take it as he was miles better in SLP than Jackman was in Les Mis. Same with the films.. But, this is the globes.. I'm not that surprised either.

Also wanted Phoenix to get it for Best Actor. Waltz winning was also a disappointment, I hate DiCaprio but he was miles better in Django

 

[Niusity]

Yeah, both Amy and Tina were just amazing. They should host Oscars next year.
As for the winners, I haven't watched all the movies so i can't judge. I'm very happy for Jessica, she was so sweet. I loved Jodie's speech and how she made everyone cry and Adele's, she was fun.

Will Ferrell & Kristen Wiig

"Judi Dench. Where did she come from? Unknown. She used to be a police officer.”

WIN.

 

[loladonna]

I have an irrational dislike for Les Miserable so I hate that it won anything. I want Bradley Cooper to win best actor at the Oscars and I want anyone else but Anne Hathaway to win Supporting Actress so I don't have to hear an insufferable speech from her.

 

[jmrmartinho]

^But Anne is the only one who deserves to win. But in other hand I dont want to listen her rehearsed speech with fake tears, she deserves it anyway

 

[saann]

I would choose Amy over Anne, both for performance and body of work.

 

[Niusity]

I love both Amy and Anne, they're my favorite actresses and they both desearve it. And as Anne took the globe I'd love Amy to take the Oscar.

 

[loladonna]

Amy Adams seems overdue for the quality of work she regularly puts in. Sally Field could pull the upset. She's a sentimental favorite with the old fogey Oscar voters.

 

[Label Basher]

I have yet to see The Master (it's killing me) but I saw Les Mis on the weekend cause I got given a free ticket and I actually enjoyed it. Hugh deserves his nom. I'm still on the fence with Anne. She was really good but until I see Amy I just don't know. Sally's performance was basic. There was nothing special about it just like Jacki Weaver's. Helen Hunt was better than both of them.

 

[LoveKatFashion]

What upsets me about Anne is that shes so into the campaigning, I'll do whatever it takes to get an oscar thing. not that shes the first.

 

[jemina]

^^I don't see what's wrong with that. She has a chance to get it and she wants it bad. It's the most important award for an actor.

I'm glad that Tina and Alec won for 30 Rock, it seems so strange that the show is ending in a few days, and it's probably not just for the last season but their work on the show as a whole. I'm not really surprised by any of the wins, all of them seem pretty predictable, but that's alright. I would have liked Michelle Dockery to have won for Best TV Actress-Drama though, her work on the second season of Downton Abbey was fantastic.

 

[ad041715]

^ Jennifer Lawrence surprised me considering Jessica is the frontrunner this season.

I welcome unexpected wins though. They make me that more anticipated for the Oscars since it's up in the air as to who will win. I always love a good Oscar surprise. B)

 

[rox_yr_sox]

^ Jen has been the frontrunner for pretty much the whole season. (Personally, I can't understand this, and rate Jessica's performance over Jen's easily.)

Jennifer and Jessica were pretty much neck and neck going into tonight. Both won the Globe, Jessica won BAFCA but Jennifer won in comedy there. This award was supposed to tell who is really ahead and it's apparently Jan. With SLP over-performing with nominations and ZDT underperforming, I'd say Jennifer is comfortably in the lead at this point.

Argo is really the story of the season though. I thought with the Director snub its campaign would collapse, but the opposite happened. It's like Ben's snub energized people and it now became the underdog that everyone rallied around. Additionally, no solid alternative emerged and thus Argo is the movie of the season. I'll be happy to see another film wining Best Picture without a Director's nomination and I really enjoyed the movie, but there are much stronger ones nominated. Still, who will win Director?

Also, I'll be content if Daniel Day Lewis doesn't make another movie in his life again. His sweeps are becoming insufferable. He's the male Meryl Streep. Both need to either retire or withdraw their names from all future award consideration.

Hey now, watch it, Meryl Streep is flawless! But I do agree with you about DDL, I'd like to see someone else win and it always seems like he only does films that the academy would deem "Oscar-worthy." At least Meryl does a verity of films, like Hope Springs or Mamma Mia, that may not be the best films and certainly not films that would be given awards as well as her "Oscar performances". But it feels like, at least to me, that DDL doesn't really do anything like that. I'd love for more up-in-coming actors and actress to not only get nominated but to win, while I do love some of the 'old guard' it's no fun having them always getting nominated, not everything they do is award worthy. Of course this year Jen, Jessica, and Quvenzhane have all been nominated for various awards, and rightly so! I wonder, does it seem like more up-in-coming female actresses are in the categories then up-in-coming male actors? I'd be curious to know the statistics behind it.

 

[Label Basher]

Personally I'm waiting for the BAFTAs when it comes to Best Picture and Best Actress. Last year Volia and The Help got the SAGs but then Meryl and The Artist won the BAFTAs. Who got the Oscars - Meryl and The Artist. It's the same this time these two awards are too close the call.

I saw The Impossible on Saturday and Naomi is fantastic. If she pulled an upset she would still deserve it. I also watched Flight. It's such an average popcorn movie. I'm really baffled that Denzel is nominated over John Hawkes for Oscar.

Best Actor and Sup Actor are so boring now. Props to DDL for his shout out to Joaquin. He should have been nominated.

 

[loladonna]

The Oscars are going to be a snoozer at this rate.

I'm disappointed that Bradley Cooper continues to go unrewarded at the majors for SLP. JLaw is getting all the acclaim but he really was the anchor of that film.

I'm hoping Chastain and Bradley can pull off upsets at the Oscars but it's looking bleak at this point.

I'm respect DDL and Meryl but I'm so over them winning every time they're nominated for something. It's like all they have to do is fart on screen and they will be nominated.

 

[pixiedust1603]

I loved Bradley in SLP so I do agree that he should be getting more attention but unfortunately for him Best Actor is such a strong category this year. I think Best Actress is Lawrence's to lose with maybe Riva being a shock win as I think she (Riva) is going to win the BAFTA. There is little chance of Jennifer winning that in my opinion. I just think Jennifer has the better narrative, with her ability to straddle staring in two money making franchises and staring in critically acclaimed film, to win the Oscar and Weinstein is going to push that.

I really do think that the Best Picture category is somewhat of a mess at the moment but there is no way that Argo is not winning. It's funny that when ZD30 was first screened, reviewers kept on saying that it made Argo look poor in comparison yet it is Argo benefiting more from the rebound and sympath vote.
