AcadeMolly Awards 2013

It's AcadeMolly Award time! Here's my take on the best and worst (that I've seen*) of 2012.

Best Cinematography
Moonrise Kingdom - Robert D. Yeoman
Skyfall - Roger Deakins
Life of Pi - Claudio Miranda
The Dark Knight Rises - Wally Pfister
Beasts of the Southern Wild - Ben Richardson

 Moonrise Kingdom

I would have loved Moonrise Kingdom even if the script was bunk - it wasn't by the way. Each frame is a piece of art capable of standing alone. Humor, beauty and tenderness are expertly communicated visually. Yeoman's intensely stylized shots are a feast for your eyes.

Best Production Design
The award formerly known as "Best Art Direction" is now called "Best Production Design."

 Life of Pi

David Gropman (Production Design); Anna Pinnock (Set Decoration)

One nominee. One winner. From the opening credits to the final frame, Life of Pi is a stunner. Vibrant colors pop off the screen from the opening credits until the final frame. The stunning beauty of this film is even more impressive considering a sizable percentage of the scenes take place on a raft. This is easily one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.

Best Adapted Screenplay
Argo - Chris Terrio
Beasts of the Southern Wild - Lucy Alibar and Benh Zeitlin
Life of Pi - David Magee
Silver Linings Playbook - David O. Russell
Bernie - Skip Hollandsworth and Richard Linklater

 Silver Linings Playbook

Silver Linings Playbook surprised me. I saw it early at the Chicago Film Festival. I saw before I knew what to expect. As long as I'm being honest, I saw it because it had a killer cast. But Silver Linings Playbook surprised me. It is so much more than just an incredibly smart romantic comedy. It has a dark side. Be warned - it will stick with you.

Best Original Screenplay
Zero Dark Thirty - Mark Boal
Moonrise Kingdom - Wes Anderson and Roman Coppola

 Moonrise Kingdom

Once again, Wes Anderson does not disappoint. Moonrise Kingdom is clever, humorous and touching. Anderson and Coppola have created characters that manage to be delightfully quirky and surprisingly relatable. Undoubtedly one of the most original, unexpected and entertaining films of the year.

Best Actor
Bradley Cooper - Silver Linings Playbook
Bernie - Jack Black
Daniel Day-Lewis - Lincoln
Jared Gilman - Moonrise Kingdom

 Daniel Day-Lewis

I'm not going to lie to you. The other actors listed were really fantastic. The problem is Daniel Day-Lewis made a movie this year. He's impeccable. He disappears into a role like no other working actor. He is a genius. Period.

p.s. I didn't really like Lincoln

Best Actress
Quvenzhané Wallis - Beasts of the Southern Wild
Jessica Chastain - Zero Dark Thirty

 Quvenzhané Wallis

She was five when she was won the role of Hushpuppy and can now be called the youngest Oscar nominee in history. But I assure you, she isn't winning the AcadeMolly award because of her age. Wallis is a gifted actress who delivered a compelling performance.

Best Director and Best Picture
I've mentioned this before...if a movie is good enough to be called "Best Picture" surely the person in "charge" should be nominated as "Best Director". I'm sure there are lots of reasons why this doesn't happen. Some of those reasons are practical, some are artistic and some are political. But these are MY awards so I get to make the rules.

Life of Pi - Ang Lee
Argo - Ben Affleck
Zero Dark Thirty - Kathryn Bigelow
Beasts of the Southern Wild - Benh Zeitlin
Moonrise Kingdom - Wes Anderson
Silver Linings Playbook - David O. Russell

 Zero Dark Thirty - Kathryn Bigelow

I knew how the story was going to end and I still had sweaty palms through the last 30 minutes. I'm staunchly opposed to torture but this film made me stop for just a second and reconsider. Heck I was rooting for the people doing the torturing! There's a list of reasons why I shouldn't have liked this movie but not one entered my mind for the two and a half hours that it captured me. It made me think. It grabbed me. Zero Dark Thirty is brilliant. Whether it's 100% fact or purely a work of fiction, I don't care. This is an entertaining film.

Now it's Your Turn!

What did I get right? What did I get wrong?

 

*I'm kind of bummed that I didn't get a chance to see The Master.

Netflix should be delivering it next week.

AcadeMolly Awards Preview

Tomorrow the Academy Awards nominations will be announced. Are you as excited as I am?

It's the official start of the most wonderful time of the year. The next two months are chock full of movies and fashion and beautiful people being self congratulatory. The Golden Globes are this weekend and then there's a red carpet about every five minutes until the Oscars on February 24th.

But I haven't even told you the most exciting news! This year is the 10th anniversary of the AcadeMolly Awards!

As the founder and sole voting member of the AcadeMolly Awards Board of Directors (AMA BOD), each year I make it my mission to see as many of the Oscar/Golden Globe nominated films as possible. The AMA BOD trusts that that other Academy and the Hollywood foreign press are capable of compiling a list of reputable and entertaining films from which AcadeMolly nominations can be drawn.

It's true, so far this year I've seen a few stinkers. But there are some pretty great films to be seen too. Life of Pi, anyone? Until the official AcadeMolly Awards announcement on February 23rd (mark your calendars), I'll continue to work through my must see list. And I'm looking forward to hearing tomorrow's announcements to see what other films I should add to the list.

Just in case you're compiling a must see list too, I thought I'd make a few suggestions.

Until last weekend, I was convinced Silver Linings Playbook would be my favorite film this season. It has a little bit of everything. It's touching, funny, and the performances are world class. This film should not be missed.

Then I saw Zero Dark Thirty. It's as different from Silver Linings Playbook as night and day. But, WOW! What a ride. Even though I knew how the story ends I had sweaty palms during the last few scenes. Jessica Chastain is quickly becoming one of my favorite working actresses and Kathryn Bigelow has directed a masterpiece in Zero Dark Thirty.

Both are undoubtedly top contenders for this year's AcadeMolly Awards.

What's the best film you've seen so far this season?

Catch up on the AcadeMolly Awards from years past.

AcadeMolly Awards 2011

The movies have been screened.  The choices have been made and you are all invited to attend the 2011 AcadeMolly Awards. Best news is, you don't even have to leave your couch or desk or wherever.  I'm bringing the ceremony right to you! Right now.

This year was chock full of fantastic film making.  Since back in September when The Town was released I have loved going to the movies!  With each film we saw I would think, "Wow, there isn't going to be one to top that!" (Well, except when we saw The Tourist.  Then I wished I could just have my two hours back...)  But with each new film, I was even more excited about the diversity and artistry that I was privileged to see.

I've been compiling this list in my mind for months.  I'm excited to finally get to share it!

Actor in a Leading Role

Nominees:

Colin Firth "The King's Speech"
James Franco "127 Hours"
Jesse Eisenberg "The Social Network"

Ryan Gosling "Blue Valentine"

Aaron Eckhart "Rabbit Hole"

The Winner Is: James Franco for his out of control performance in 127 Hours (<-- check out my original review there). 

Actor in a Supporting Role

Nominees:

Jeremy Renner "The Town"

Christian Bale "The Fighter"
Geoffrey Rush "The King's Speech"

The Winner Is: Christian Bale for The Fighter. I mean, come on.  Was there even ever a question?

Actress in a Lead Role

Nominees:

Natalie Portman "Black Swan"

Jennifer Lawrence "Winter's Bone"

Nicole Kidman "Rabbit Hole"

Michelle Williams "Blue Valentine"

The Winner Is: Natalie Portman for Black Swan.  She really is scary good in this film, emphasis on scary.  Plus the role won her a hubby and baby.  I'd say it was a major score all around for the beautiful and talented actress.

Actress in a Supporting Role

Nominees:

Lesley Manville "Another Year"

Melissa Leo "The Fighter"
Helena Bonham Carter "The King's Speech"

The Winner Is: Helena Bonham Carter for the The King's Speech.  Don't get me wrong, the other two ladies gave amazing performances, but I chose Ms. Bonham Carter because it was great to see her shine in a quiet and understated role.  No whack-a-doo needed this time for her to command the screen.  For that she should be recognized.

Best Director

Nominees:

Darren Aronofsky "Black Swan"

Danny Boyle "127 Hours"

Debra Granik "Winter's Bone"

Tom Hopper "The King's Speech"

David Fincher "The Social Network"

The Winner Is: Darren Aronofsky for creating 108 minutes of the most bizarre, beautiful, dark and disturbing film that I have ever seen.  Aronsfsky. is. a. genius.  And Black Swan is breathtaking.

Cinematography

Nominees:

Inception

True Grit

Black Swan

127 Hours

Winter's Bone

The Winner Is: Enrique Chediak and Anthony Dod Mantle for 127 Hours.  Seriously, this movie is so powerful.  I can't help but believe that the way it's shot is hugely responsible for it's intensity and weight.  The creativity and innovation necessary to produce a film that largely takes place in a crevice? Yep, that deserves recognition.

Screenplay

Nominees:

The King's Speech

Another Year

Inception

127 Hours

Black Swan

The Social Network

The Winner Is: Aaron Sorkin for The Social Network.  I combined Adapted & Original Screenplay nominations this year for one reason.  That reason is Aaron Sorkin.  His script for The Social Network is so, so, so far and away the very best this year that it isn't even up for discussion.  I watched The Social Network again this week just because I wanted to see Justin Timberlake it had been so long since I originally watched it.  And I'm telling you, this film is brilliant.  The dialogue is so incredibly quick and smart and funny and touching and award worthy.  Watch it again... or for the first time ... you'll see what I mean.

Best Picture

Nominees:

The Social Network

Black Swan

Winter's Bone

127 Hours

The King's Speech

The Winner Is: Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Don't make me decide.  I've never had such a difficult time picking.  I loved each of these films for a different reason.  I don't think I can single one out.  Nope.  I'm not going to.  First time in the history of the AcadeMolly Awards that I'm letting the nominees share in the win.  There's no way to pick just one. I'm just not going to pick.  Is this a cop out?  Perhaps.  But I'm okay with that.

What was your favorite film this year?

AcadeMolly Award Preview

In case you missed it, earlier today the nominations for this year's Academy Awards were announced. As always, these announcements are nothing more than a giant "to do" list. As the founder and sole voting member of the AcadeMolly Awards Board of Directors (AMA BOD), each year I make it my mission to see as many of the Oscar nominated films as possible.  The AMA BOD trusts that that other Academy is capable of compiling a list of reputable and entertaining films from which AcadeMolly nominations can be compiled.  However, do not misunderstand; their nomination list is not an exhaustive list of contenders... just a place for me the AMA BOD to begin.

I'm happy to report that a big chunk of the "to do" list is "to done."  Between our Christmas holiday movie marathon and subsequent use of the 2011 popcorn bucket*, the handsome hubby and I have already knocked out 6 of the 10 films up for best picture.  Thus far we've seen: The Social Network, True Grit, The Fighter, The King's Speech, Inception & Black Swan.  That just leaves The Kids Are All Right (this one didn't get too much screen time in old Chattanooga what with the lesbian lead characters. I'm kidding. kind of), Toy Story 3 (humph, I guess I'm going to have to see it), Winter's Bone (which I JUST heard about on NPR yesterday.  It was shot in southern Missouri!!! or as Terry Gross pronounced it "MissourAH") and 127 Hours (I'm still hoping this will be screened in Chattanooga *fingers crossed*). 

I've added those that I can to the Netflix queue and the anticipation is mounting.  Check back Saturday February 26th for complete AcadeMolly Awards coverage.

Now in the meantime, how do YOU think that that other Academy did this year?

Any surprises? Disappointments?

Would you like to lobby for a particular movie in the 2011 AcadeMolly race?

*2011 Popcorn Bucket: each year our local movie theatre sells a giant bucket that can be refilled for only $2 for the remainder of the year.  Suffice it to say, we intend to do some damage with that baby in 2011.

2010 AcadeMolly Awards

What a year for film! There were some really great movies in 2009.
So, without further ado, here are this year's AcadeMolly Awards. (Please keep in mind these are not Oscar predictions. Think of them instead as the awards I would bestow if a red carpet were laid out on my street and all of Hollywood's film making elite came over for dinner and drinks at my place.)

Best Cinematography
The Hurt Locker
A Single Man
Sherlock Holmes
Avatar
Young Victoria
I have to be honest when I say that I have a hard time differentiating between what is good Cinematography and what is good Art Direction. I'm doing my best here... But each of these films really were beautifully shot. The desolation of the Hurt Locker, the artistry of A Single Man, the grit of Sherlock Holmes, the fantasy of Avatar and the lush opulence of Young Victoria. It's truly amazing what different feelings can be captured with a lens. In the end, I have to say that Avatar was probably the most fantastic. Visually that film was stunning. So, I'm throwing it an obligatory AcadeMolly for recognition of it's groundbreaking achievement this year. (Though it is probably better suited for technical awards since most of it was CGI, right?)

moving on

Best Achievement in Art Direction
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Nine
Avatar
Where the Wild Things Are
Sherlock Holmes
For me, so much of the fun of film is being transported to another world. Each of these films was a passport to another visual reality. If you missed any one of these, you're in for a treat. As a sentimental favorite I have to present Where the Wild Things Are with the AcadeMolly award in Art Direction. Visually true to the land that first appeared in Maurice Sendak's book, Sonny Gerasimowicz (a street artist!!!!) managed to combine whimsy and foreboding in this fantastic and occasionally frightening piece of art.

Best Screenplay
The Hurt Locker - Mark Boal (original)
An Education - Nick Hornby (adapted)
Precious - Geoffrey Fletcher (adapted)
Up In the Air - Jason Reitman & Sheldon Turner (adapted)
Crazy Heart - Scott Cooper (adapted)
Fantastic Mr. Fox - Wes Anderson & Noah Baumbach (adapted)
A Single Man - Tom Ford & David Scearle (adapted)

Turns out that most of the stories that I REALLY loved this year were "adapted" screenplays. So, if you're feeling the need to differentiate. I guess The Hurt Locker wins for "original" screenplay. Which truly, it should. The fact that an Iraq war movie managed to steer pretty clear of the politics and just focus on amazing story telling is a real achievement. Way to go, Mark Boal. Now, if I'm just giving the AcadeMolly out for a screenplay, I gotta give it to An Education. Nick Hornby's story captured me from the first scene. I was inextricably invested in the characters and swept up in the excitement of young love and the devastation of poor choices.

Best Supporting Actress
Maggie Gyllenhaal - Crazy Heart
Mo'Nique - Precious
Julianne Moore - A Single Man
Marion Cotillard - Nine

Could be it's just my love of Marion Cotillard that got her into this category. Seriously, I've said it before and I'll say it again, she's the most stunning actress working today. But the AcadeMolly HAS to go to Mo'Nique for her portrayal of Mary the abusive (probably not strong enough of a word) mother in Precious. Her performance shut it down. Not since Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men have I been so terrified of a character. And yet Mo'Nique managed to give Mary a depth that eventually evoked pity from this audience member. Nuanced and layered, Mary was more than just a villain and Mo'Nique deserves every bit of the praise the film industry has bestowed upon her.

Best Supporting Actor
Christopher Waltz - Inglorious Basterds
Colin Farrell - Crazy Heart
Peter Sarsgaard - An Education
Rupert Friend - Young Victoria

Obviously, Waltz was fantastic. Sometimes the AcadeMolly is totally predictable. Christopher Waltz's performance was "a Bingo".

Best Actor
Quinton Aaron - The Blind Side
Colin Firth - A Single Man
Jeff Bridges - Crazy Heart
Jeremy Renner - The Hurt Locker

He's won just about every best actor award out there this year. Jeff Bridges played Bad Black with heartbreaking truth. I adored his performance and I adore Jeff Bridges. But the AcadeMolly is going to Colin Firth for his turn as George in A Single Man. He showed such restraint and strength and created a character that this viewer mourned with and rooted for throughout the picture. George was a fascinating man to get the chance to meet.

Best Actress
Gabourey Sidibe - Precious
Carey Mulligan - An Education
Emily Blunt - Young Victoria
Sandra Bullock - The Blind Side

Now, I loved The Blind Side. And Sandra Bullock was a trip to watch. But, I think she said it best in her Globe speech when she credited hair and makeup with the transformation. Honestly, I think her performance was more of an impersonation. All the hype belongs to Leigh Anne Tuohy and her family's amazing act of redemptive love. So, the AcadeMolly award goes to Gabourey Sidibe as Precious. Sidebe's performance took my breath away. You only have to watch the trailer (which makes me cry EVERY TIME) to know how powerfully Sidibe tells this story. Watching the full film is enough to induce a panic attack and utter despair. However, Sidibe doesn't allow the viewer to remain there. A seed of hope, the promise of survival and an unquenchable beauty shines through despite the character's dire situation. It was (what I kind of hope WON'T be) the performance of a lifetime. I look forward to more from Sidibe.

Best Director & Best Picture
So, this year I started thinking... if a movie is good enough to be called "Best Picture" surely the person in "charge" should be nominated as "Best Director". I'm sure there are lots of reasons why this doesn't happen. Some practical, some artistic and some political. But these are MY awards so I get to make the rules.

The Hurt Locker - Kathryn Begelow
An Education - Lone Scherfig
Fantastic Mr. Fox - Wes Anderson
Precious - Lee Daniels
A Single Man - Tom Ford
Crazy Heart - Scott Cooper

*gasp* "Where's Avatar????" It's up in the art direction and cinematography categories where it belongs. My "Best Picture"s have to have an engaging story. They have to evoke emotion. And they have to be more than just CGI. Plus, James Cameron bugs me. THERE, I said it. Moving on.

Like I said earlier, what a great year for film. After each of these movies, I left the theatre thinking, "That could be the best film I've seen all year." Which is my way of picking for this category - not too scientific, huh? Choosing my favorite this is kind of like saying, "Would you rather have sushi or a steak"? Ummmm, unfair. Both are delicious. It all depends on the mood I'm in, and actually, could I just have both???? But, since I started this whole AcadeMolly thing, I guess I've put myself in the place where I HAVE to pick a favorite. So, the winner for Best Picture & Best Director is An Education and it's director Lone Scherfig. There wasn't anything that I didn't like about the film. It was shot beautifully, acted superbly, the story telling was compelling. When I look at that list of nominees it would be the one I would see again, first. Honestly, not all that scientific of a selection process. Totally subjective.


Most ALMOST award worthy Movie
Away We Go
(500) Days of Summer
The Informant!
Star Trek
Paper Heart

These were some of the MOST fun movies I saw this year. If you missed them (because a few hardly got ANY press at all - I mean did anybody even hear about Star Trek?) I highly recommend them! Probably (500) Days of Summer was the closest to finding itself as a part of the AcadeMollys this year. I'd suggest starting there.

Well, that wraps up the 2010 edition of the AcadeMolly awards.
Now on to tomorrow's red carpet.

Until then though, if you had to pick what was the best film you saw this year? Or who gave the best performance?

2009 AcadeMolly Awards

I’m a movie freak. Since 2003 I’ve compiled a list of the year's movies that I think are most award worthy. No ACTUAL awards are handed out; it's all just for fun.

The only requirement to be nominated is that I have seen the movie. Since, I don't have the luxury of film screeners mailed to my home... I’m not typically fortunate enough to see EVERY movie that may deserve an award. But, I try my hardest to see as many as my time, geographic location and pocketbook allow.

So, without further ado, the nominees for this year's world renown and extremely prestigious AcadeMolly awards are:

Best Actor

Colin Farrell - In Bruges
Philip Seymour Hoffman - Doubt
Richard Jenkins - The Visitor
Sean Penn - Milk

The 2008 AcadeMolly Awards

Tomorrow night is the big night! The Oscars are the king of all award shows. And around our house we are all about them. (If I’m being honest, the hubby only cares to the extent that he does because I talk about movies all the time and make him watch all the nominees...) So, before the little golden guys are handed out, I thought I’d weigh in on the films that I’ve seen so far. I don't have the luxury of having screeners sent to my house, so we haven't gotten to see everything (I’m bumming because I never got to see Lars and the Real Girl, I’m Not There or Into the Wild) - but we've done pretty well.

Now, without further ado... Here are the 2008 AcadeMolly Award winners:

Actor in a Leading Role:
Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood was clearly wonderful but it is difficult for me to ignore Glen Hansard's performance in Once.

Actress in a Leading Role:
Julie Christie was luminescent in Away from Her, but I’d love to see Ellen Page win for her role in Juno.

Actor in a Supporting Role:
Javier Bardem is a no-brainer, he was absolutely terrifying in No Country for Old Men. And in a distant 2nd, I also really enjoyed Ben Foster in 3:10 to Yuma.

Actress in a Supporting Role:
Saoirse Ronan was cringe worthy (in the best possible way) in Atonement. I just loved to hate her. Can't wait to see what's next for this talented young lady. Kelly Macdonald was also brilliant in No Country for Old Men.

Adapted Screenplay:
Sarah Polley wrote an amazing script, and deserves to win an award for Away from Her. Her project is a beautiful piece of storytelling.

Original Screenplay:
If there is justice, Diablo Cody will win for Juno. It was one of my favorites this year!

Director:
Joel & Ethan Coen did an amazing job with No Country for Old Men. It was disturbingly frightening, unexpectedly funny and full of suspense.

Best Picture:
I'm having a hard time this year deciding between 3 amazing films. I loved Once, Juno & No Country for Old Men. All were 10s in my book!

Can't wait for the show tomorrow. As much as I love celebrating the movies, I also look forward to the fashion. I'm just so excited.
