2011 Golden Globes

God! With the Golden Globes, I thought that some movies would be recognized, specially the comedies (which are the movies who are more hardly recognized for the majority of awards, because they seem to love "drama"). In fact, the Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical is so sad that you will want laugh with the silly choices: The Tourist? Red? They are action movies! Burlesque and Alice In Wonderland? Well, "Alice" is visually delicious and has a great score, but Burlesque was a waste of its cast's talent. The Kids Are All Right... well the only serious and deservable choice in that list! Where are Cyrus, Easy A, Made In Dagenham, Somewhere or Please Give? These ones are much better than any Tourist or Burslesque! Another questions: with all the sucess of Inception, why didn't the Globes nominate Leonardo DiCaprio or Marion Cotillard? Where is Mark Ruffalo for The Kids Are All Right, Robert Duvall for Get Low and Lesley Manville for Another Year?
Well... Sometimes there isn't justice in this world!

The almost annual TOP 35 Actors and Actresses Under 35 Working Today is out, with me considering the performers' performances of 2016 also. We have a few changes since last year's list, with Greta Gerwig toping the list thanks to her last 3 great performances in Mistress America , Maggie's Plan and the Oscar buzzy acting turn in 20th Century Women . Scarlett Johansson comes second with her latest distinguished performance being in 2014 ( Under the Skin ), but she managed to be at the spotligh this year thanks to her fine turns in critically acclaimed movies: Hail, Caesar! , Captain America: Civil War , The Jungle Book (voice) and Sing (voice). Emily Blunt adds another great performance to her resume in The Girl on the Train and she comes third, while Elle Fanning 's turning into one of the finest actresses and she's getting to play more adult and complex parts like The Neon Demon  and 20th Century Women 's (her two best performances since Super 8 ).

Academy Awards 2027 nominees predictions: all categories (2nd ROUND)

Now that the Fall film festival has passed, it's time to make some changes in the Oscar predictions charts: La bola negra is on a winning strike taking home the TIFF's People Choice Award; The movies I Play Rocky and Elsinore revealed themselves as huge crowd-pleasers and can be extremely viable Best Picture candidates; Neon's has found its big Oscar player (Luca Guadagnino's Artificial ) and Paper Tiger got more enthusiastic word from New York and London; the unexpected A24's documentary You Can See Everything is (currently) the most well-reviewed movie of the year and it's on track to become a truly unexpected box-office hit; Lee Chang-dong's Possible Love entered Best International Film race and it can have nice shots in screenplay and directing (according to reviews), suprassing the buzz of early favorites All of a Sudden and Fjord ; Digger is a bomb and not a promising Oscar vehicle; Sense and Sensibility is doing well with critics and it is project...
