2014 Screen Actors Guild winners + my thoughts

-

Here's a list of the 2013 SAG winners! The winners are in bold.
My thoughts as always follow in green. 

Ensemble Cast
12 Years a Slave
American Hustle
August: Osage County
Dallas Buyers Club
The Butler
Honestly, I thought 12 Years a Slave deserved this, and this is coming from someone who actually gave American Hustle a higher grade. The actors in 12 Years had harder jobs than American Hustle, IMO.

Lead Actor
Bruce Dern, Nebraska
Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave
Tom Hanks, Captain Phillips
Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club
Forest Whitaker, The Butler
I need to wait for the BAFTAs to decide if McConaughey is a lock for Oscar or not, but he gave a wonderful speech.

Lead Actress
Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine
Sandra Bullock, Gravity
Judi Dench, Philomena
Meryl Streep, August: Osage County
Emma Thompson, Saving Mr. Banks
I saw this coming, but I'm happy for her. Her speech was great too 

Supporting Actor
Barkhad Abdi, Captain Phillips
Daniel Bruhl, Rush
Michael Fassbender, 12 Years a Slave
Janes Gandolfini, Enough Said
Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club
Jared Leto gave one classy speech. Too bad his hair is still awful. (But he was hilarious on the red carpet hitting on Emilia Clarke.)

Supporting Actress
Jennifer Lawrence, American Hustle
Lupita Nyong’o, 12 Years a Slave
Julia Roberts, August: Osage County
June Squibb, Nebraska
Oprah Winfrey, The Butler
SO happy Nyong'o took this one, although her thanking Solomon Northup was awkward.

    I LOVED the Jared and Emilia red carpet moment haha
    And yay for Breaking Bad, so deserving of every single award. I'm still not sure whether or not I think McConaughey will win the Oscar, mainly because I want Leo or Chiwetel to win it but so far it looks like he will

      It's crazy how things have been turning out. Before the Globes, I thought Chiwetel was a lock to win. I never thought he'd have so much competition from McConaughey and Leo.

    Jared hitting on our Khaleesi was priceless, he couldn't stop touching her. I think Matt is winning, BAFTA is always very UK-actors oriented and barely anyone saw his movie there to begin with.

      I wonder if he got her number? I think Matt has the advantage too, but I want Leo to win SO BADLY!

    lol JLD is hilarious! Curious, what was so awkward about thanking Solomon Northrup? loved her dress, but i could have done without the flowery top part. matt mc's speech was so all over the place but i love him. happy for him. Listen, I just know there are women clamoring for jared's hair! lol he is so pretty with pretty hair (but it wouldn't hurt to wash it every once in a while lol).

      I think it's the weird highlights that are off putting to me. I can't describe why I think it's weird she thanked Northrup. It's the same reason I thought it was awkward when Anne Hathaway thanked Victor Hugo. Sure, they wrote the story, but they didn't really have anything to do with the way they acted in the movie. It didn't help that someone on Twitter joked about her thanking him for getting sold into slavery right after she said that.

Random Ramblings: The Radio Flyer Conundrum

-
Image
Recently, I was talking to someone about who I thought were the best child actors when I was also a child.  Two that really stood out to me were Elijah Wood and Joseph Mazello, and one film those two were in together was called Radio Flyer.  Then I was reminded about the uniqueness of this film. Instead of reviewing the film, I wanted to have an open discussion about the ending. It deals with a tough issue; child abuse. What I’ve noticed is the way that the film ends is interpreted many different ways, and the filmmakers never came forward to say what was right and wrong. I’m interested in hearing everyone’s opinions on it. How did you interpret the ending? Obviously spoiler alerts will follow.. For those of you who haven’t seen the film, the basic premise is this: Two young boys, Mikey (Wood) and Bobby (Mazello) move in with their single mother and her boyfriend, who refers to himself as ‘The King’. It doesn’t take long for The King to start physically abusing ...

Indie Gems: Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

Passionate about your profession? I had never heard of this film until it ended up on one of Jason's favorite horror movie lists around Halloween. It immediately sounded interesting to me, so of course I threw it in my Netflix queue. (and if I'm just now watching it after adding it around Halloween, you know how ridiculous my queue is) Taylor (Angela Goethals) is a journalist who, along with a film crew decides to follow around a serial killer named Leslie Vernon. (Nathan Baesel) He plans on doing the typical slasher thing - getting a bunch of drunk teens in an abandoned house and knocking them off one by one. He gets advice from a retired serial killer, Eugene (Scott Wilson) and is threatened by a man who's on to him, Doc Holloran (Robert Englund) Taylor and crew are there capturing it all. Leslie Vernon is fucking hilarious to start with, and clearly very passionate about what he does. He tells Taylor all of his secrets and can barely contain his excitemen...

My Favorite Movie Youtube Channels

-
Image
Starting around 2018, I started watching Youtube for more than just movie trailers or music videos whenever a new one dropped. Now I'm in full blown subscription mode and don't bat an eyelash at watching a Youtube video that's over an hour long. I watch Youtube for a few different categories of content, but one of them that I love most is movie/TV essays and commentary, and that's what I'm going to talk about today. Below is a list of my favorite movie related Youtube channels. Let me know if you're familiar with them too, or if you have any you'd like to recommend to me.  Double Toasted - I'm honestly surprised this channel isn't bigger. I first came across Korey and Martin when they reviewed War for the Planet of the Apes a few months before it hit theaters and I thought they were hysterical. While their full length videos stream on Twitch, they often upload their movie reviews and commentary on youtube and they're always hilarious. They've...
