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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...
