"The king's speech" triumphs at Bafta

"The king's speech" got a nice swoop of 7 baftas yesterday, 13th of February, surpassing "the social network" which ended up with only 3-best director, editing and screenplay. Well, it wasn't a shock. It is a British ceremony and the most awarded film was well ... British. No surprises here. Glad that "the girl with the dragon tattoo" got what it deserved: Best foreign film and Natalie Portman's

"How to train your dragon" sweaps Annie Awards 10/16!

I am so happy to announce that Dreamwork's masterpiece "How to train you dragon" finally took the attention it deserved. It destroyed "Toy Story 3" at the Annie awards 2011 aka International Animated Film Association. It won 10 awards out of 16 nominations. More specifically, HTTYD took home:

King's Speech wins big at SAG and DGA awards

Well no surprises here like last year where awards were expected to be divided between "Hurt locker" and "Avatar" with some wins on "Inglourious Basterds". At the 2011 Screen Actors Guild awards, "The king's speech" took the most important award of the night, "Outstanding performance by a cast" as well as Best actor for Colin Firth. Natalie Portman took the award for best actress for the

Oscar nominations are on and ... horrible

Woa..the oscars are becoming more predictable year by year. Also the choices sometimes are inxeplicably stupid. Ok. It's time to rock so here are my thoughts:
You have nominated the entire cast almost from "The fighter". Are they really that good? You guys left other good actors/esses.. Pointless. 
What about this? Nicole Kidman who hasn't been seen into a major award show/organisation for her

Razzie awards nominations for 2011

Well the inevitable happened. The Razzie awards nominations just announced their list of films that were considered the worst of the year. Surprisingly they forget to include the likes of "Skyline", "Killers", "Nightmare on elms street" and "Case 39". But i think Razzies have lost some of their "magic" touch throught the years. Nobody said Jessica Alba is the new Meryl Strip in terms of acting

awards: King's speech wins PGA's best picture

In comparison to the laughable and massive enthusiasm for "Social Network", "the king's speech" was the big winner at the Producers Guilt Awards for best film, one of the most biggest (and influential ceremonies leading to the Oscars). Yes finally. I am pretty sure right now that "The social network" won't win anything besides the ridiculous trophies that took home from the Hollywood Foreign

Bafta nominations- The girl with the dragon tattoo scores 3 noms!




Despite all the fuzz about such films like "the social network" and "the king's speech", one particular movie is criminally neglected. The swedish "Girl with the dragon tattoo", the successful adaptation from the same novel is being rejected from the various critics organisations. Why? i will tell you why. Because it is not an english speaking film. However, Bafta nominations came as a

Oscar race-awards update

his would be interesting. I mean woa! From side A u have, the biggest movie of all time with weak storyline and amazing special effects. Side B includes the independent gem? "Up in the air", musical "Nine", hardcore drama "Precious", the awesome war?-film "The Hurt locker" and QT's latest masterpiece "Inglourious basterds".
Now why this is interesting. Because "Avatar" swooped two golden globes
