WHY, you ask? because I, my friends, am having an AWARD ceremony(for myself) right here, right now, in this very BLOG...So please applaud when the winners are announced (in other words, when u read out the winners).
By the way, this award is called the BEST-est award cuz its the BEST(and i couldn't think of any better name than BEST-est). SO this is the very first ever BEST-EST award. (APPLAUD).I will be covering 10 categories and Just so u know(assuming tht u dont know already), the winners are voted by ME and me ONLY!. SO buckle up LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, here it begins-
Best Soundtrack
Nominees -
BLACK SWAN
INCEPTION
SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD
THE SOCIAL NETWORK
And the Winner is BLACK SWAN
I havent been able to stop myself from listening to the BLACK SWAN- Soundtrack. theres something about the music that puts me in a sort of TRANQUIL mood.
Best Animated Feature Film of the Year
the winner is- TOY STORY 3
though I must say that HOW TO TRAIN A DRAGON was almost equally as good!
Toy Story 3 is the only Animated movie so far to make me cry.
Best Writing, Screenplay
Nominees-
RABBIT HOLE
THE SOCIAL NETWORK
THE KING'S SPEECH
INCEPTION
ANOTHER YEAR
and the Winner is- Aaron Sorkin for The Social Network
Social Network deserved it HANDS DOWN!!! 5 minutes into the movie I was BLOWN AWAY by wht i was hearing. the Opening scene in the PUB between Eisenberg and Rooney Mara has to be one of the best Opening Scenes EVER!!
Best Achievement in Directing
Nominees-
Tom Hooper- THE KING'S SPEECH
Darren Aronofsky- BLACK SWAN
Christopher Nolan- INCEPTION
David Fincher- THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Mike Leigh- ANOTHER YEAR
and the WINNER is - Darren Aronofsky for Black Swan
The KEY-Reason why BLACK SWAN works is because of ARONOFSKY's masterful direction. To me, Black Swan was a one man show and What a SHOW it was.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role
Nominees-
Amy Adams- THE FIGHTER
Mellisa Leo- THE FIGHTER
Hailee Steinfeld- TRUE GRIT
Barbara Hershey- BLACK SWAN
Lesley Manville- ANOTHER YEAR
and the WINNER is - Lesley Manville for Another Year
You have got to see MANVILLE in ANOTHER YEAR. Its one of the finest performances I have ever seen. Manville gives such an authentic performance that its almost painful(and gut-wrenching) to watch her character suffer through her mid-life crisis(on screen). Its one of those (rare) Haunting performances tht will stay with you much after the movie is over. Its Appalling tht she wasnt even nominated for the Oscars!
Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role
Nominees-
Andrew Garfield- THE SOCIAL NETWORK
Christian Bale- THE FIGHTER
Geoffery Rush- THE KING'S SPEECH
Matt Damon- TRUE GRIT
Mark Ruffalo- THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
and the Winner is- Geoffery Rush for The King's Speech
EASY choice! Amazing performance! One of the main reasons why I enjoyed King's Speech so much!
Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role
Nominees-
NATALIE PORTMAN- BLACK SWAN
MICHELLE WILLIAMS- BLUE VALENTINE
ANNETE BENNING- THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
NICOLE KIDMAN- RABBIT HOLE
JENNIFER LAWRENCE- WINTER'S BONE
and the winner is- Oh its a TIE*... Natalie Portman for Black Swan and Michelle williams for Blue Valentine
*there can only be ONE tie per year, SO i decided to go with Portman and Williams. Enough has already been said about PORTMAN so i am gonna skip ahead to WILLIAMS- who gives her career-best performance in BLUE VALENTINE. Its one hell of a Heart-Breaking and Authentic performance. She literally put us in her shoes and makes us feel the frustration of being stuck in a dead-end-Marriage. To cut it short, let me just say tht she was BETTER than Portman. TRUST ME! Go watch BLUE VALENTINE!
Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role
Nominees-
RYAN GOSLING- BLUE VALENTINE
COLIN FIRTH- THE KING'S SPEECH
JESSE EISENBERG- THE SOCIAL NETWORK
JEFF BRIDGES- TRUE GRIT
JAMES FRANCO- 127 HOURS
and the winner is- Colin Firth for The King's Speech
EASY PICK! and BY FAR The best one in the lot.
Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture
INCEPTION
THE FIGHTER
ANOTHER YEAR
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
THE SOCIAL NETWORK
And the Winner is- The Kids are All Right
This was a tough choice. But i went with TKAAR. Dont ask.
Best Motion Picture of the Year
Nominees-
BLACK SWAN
THE SOCIAL NETWORK
TOY STORY 3
RABBIT HOLE
INCEPTION
TRUE GRIT
BLUE VALENTINE
THE TOWN
THE KING'S SPEECH
THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
and the Winner is- INCEPTION
I believe 2010 was a GREAT year for movies, and to choose one out of such great list is almost impossible. Though, it was a close call between BLACK SWAN and INCEPTION. I decided to go with the latter because INCEPTION is beyond any Movie-Watching experience I have ever had.
So altogether, Black Swan is the Big winner today with 3 wins followed by Kings Speech which won 2 acting trophies. Social Network(the most nominations= 7), Toy Story 3, Blue Valentine, Another Year, The Kids are all right and Inception all won 1 award each.
Thank you for joining me today(Wasn't tht fun??? the most fun i have had in DAYS!! YOOHOO!!!) and I hope you do come back to this BLOG for more.
As of NOW, We can finally say that the award season is Officially OVER. hopefully the 2nd Annual BEST-est Awards will be held next year before the OSCARS.
Please, leave a comment(PLEASE I beg of you!!!!anything will do, all i need is some kind of proof tht someone, anyone did go through this POST)! I would forever be indebted to your kindness.
