Thoughts On The 87th Academy Awards – NPH Holds Long Unpredictable Evening Together!

87th Annual Academy Awards - Show

Neil Patrick Harris wasn’t brilliant for most of his first evening hosting the Oscars®, but when he picked his spots he definitely sparkled – his few comments on the lack of diversity in the Academy’s selections (‘…celebrating Hollywood’s best and whitest, sorry, brightest;’ Oh, sure ! You like them now!’) may not have been many, but they were perfect – making the point and then moving on (from that first dig right into a stunning eight-minute song and dance number that dropped him into classic movie scenes).

2015 Movie Awards, Out and About

35th Annual Razzie Awards opens to public for 1st time

 

photo_2

For 85 glorious years, the Oscars have honored the best in cinematic achievement.  Then there’s its anti-thesis.  The yin to its yang.  The shiny statue that boasts of a golden glistening fruit. And no, it’s not Adam’s apple.  It’s the famous Golden Raspberry Awards aka Razzies that awards the uncoveted worst in film.  Founded in 1980, this ceremony typically precedes the corresponding Academy Awards ceremony by one day. For the first 34 years, the Razzies was closed to the press.  Everybody had heard about it but there was no red carpet or glitz and glamour accompanying it.  This year was different.

2015 Critics’ Choice Awards – More Perceptive Than The Oscars®?

Birdman

Some Oscar® wrongs were at least partially (and in two cases, totally) righted at the 2015 Critics’ Choice Awards. Selma, for example, at least got more nominations; The LEGO Movie won Best Animated Feature, and Birdman Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) won for Score (while being not being considered at all for that award by Oscar®).

Birdman wound up with seven awards – including two for Michael Keaton (Best Actor in a Comedy and Best Actor); Boyhood got four (Best Director, Best Young Actor, Supporting Actress and Best Picture), and The Grand Budapest Hotel got three (Best Comedy, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design).

This year’s Louis XIII Genius Award went to Ron Howard; the Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Kevin Costner and the very first MVP Award (for the most prodigious body of work over the last year) went to Jessica Chastain.

Host Michael Stahan (Live with Kelly and Michael) struggled a bit with his opening monologue, but got stronger as the night went on. The complete list of winners follow the jump.

2015 Golden Globes: The Morning After The Night Before!

No one network or film dominated the 2015 Golden Globes last night, but Tina Fey and Amy Poehler went out on top with a satisfying mix of soft, hard and curveball pitches – and yes, their Cosby jokes landed pretty hard. Somehow, they managed to sting as hard as Ricky Gervais – without using his scattergun approach. The result was that their digs landed well and generally caught the audience off guard.

But the Golden Globes is about the drinking the awards, so let’s take a look at them.
