Oscar Race 2015: If I were The Oscars

So I didn't see many of the nominated movies this year... but if I were in The Academy THIS is who would win the oscars. Basically Gone Girl would probably win a lot.

BEST ACTRESS 
This is someone that was actually nominated, so it should be no shock. Rosamund Pike. That was such a breakthrough role, a hard character to play and she did a phenomenal job of it. She hasn't really starred in anything I don't think and she hasn't been in many movies overall, but people were talking about her a lot and she should get it.

BEST ACTOR 
I didn't see Foxcatcher at all... but I want Steve Carell to win of corse. How cool would it be for him to EGOT? Plus he looks really good in this movie. If I were going to give it to movies I did see, I think I would pick Chris Pratt? Lol or Kermit the Frog... they both did a pretty amazing performance.

BEST DIRECTOR 
Again, it should go to Gone Girl. David Fincher did it right. Gone Girl could have been such a bad movie if someone else had directed it, but he did an amazing amazing job. Ohhh or you know who should really probably win? The director of Selma. She's a woman! No women were recognized this year and from what everyone says this is a spectacular movie. But yeah of movies I saw, it should be Gone Girl.

BEST ANIMATED MOTION PICTURE 
I know The Lego Movie should have been nominated and everyone is upset it hasn't been... but I really think they should give the award to Despicable Me 2... I know that lost last year, but it was robbed. Frozen is a piece of garbage compared to most other movies... so it shouldn't have won at all. (I feel like somewhere in this post I've typed one instead of  won... I'm tired, I'm also an English Major, so even if I did make a mistake, I'm still smarter than you and unemployed so I don't care. Lol.)

BEST ORIGINAL SONG 
I really hope The Lonely Island wins. Brett McKenzie won from Flight of the Conchords... I just think comedy bands should win things. Plus how awesome is this song.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR 
Idk if he's exactly a "supporting actor" but Ben Affleck for Gone Girl. Compared to Rosamund Peak's performance it was more of a supporting role, and he really did take his fame down a peg and take a role that let her shine (I also may have spelled role roll somewhere in here. See above.) I know the Academy hates Ben Affleck and most people don't like him either... but I like him and he showed his dong in this movie... he should win something.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS 
I don't think I've seen many amazing movies with supporting actresses in it. I'm happy Emma Stone is nominated because she's adorable and I love her... but that probably shouldn't be the reason why we nominate people. Oprah maybe? I didn't even know she was in Selma, but I mean its Oprah... we should give her an award for something. Or we could just let Lupita Nyong'o keep it. I don't think anyone did a better performance than hers from last year... and they probably never will. Lets just let her keep it.

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
Gone Girl... how the hell was this not nominated? They are crazy! I can imagine it must have been incredibly hard for Gillian Flynn to take her own novel that she worked really hard on and created and keeping a lot of the original stuff in the book, but also adding to it for the movie so that we're still surprised and just... seeing the way they both came together was amazing. I am a huge fan.

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY 
Birdman probably... or THE LEGO MOVIE! How was that not nominated? They took legos and made a movie from it. Thats just gold. Maybe Tammy. Lol. Again I didn't actually see Bird Man.

Best Picture 
I'd say idk what would win best picture... for me my favorite movies of the year were Gone Girl, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Guardians of the Galaxy, Tammy, and possibly The Lego Movie... I can't tell if I loved it or didn't like it, but since it didn't get nominated and Weird Al loved it so much, I'm gonna go with that too. I guess the only one that was nominated was The Grand Budapest Hotel, so that would probably win by default... but Gone Girl was really good.

So thats it... idk are you guys upset about this? I'm a little bit, but its also made me more inspired to write movies about women that will hopefully be critically recognized.

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
