" The 18th Annual Hollywood Film Awards"

For those of you that don't know the 2014 Hollywood Film Awards took place last Friday at the Hollywood Palladium in Hollywood California and it aired live on CBS . I would like to point out that it was the first time the Hollywood Awards were broadcast on TV. Now I am here to give my opinion on the ceremony.

Before you go on to the comment section about this, I am not going to comment on what people were wearing! There were a lot of pretty dresses and all of the men looked nice except for Johnny Depp, but I will get into that later.

The Awards Gala was hosted by Queen Latifah and I would like to point out that I tuned on the TV a little late so I missed her monologue, but judging from what I saw in the rest of the ceremony, she was bad as a host. This is one Queen that needs to get out of power! As for the acceptance speeches, all of them were pretty good. The most emotional was Shailene Woodley (here is a link ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JwkckeBwaM&list=UUlzCn8DxRSCuMFv_WfzkcrQ

The funniest one was Chris Rocks (here is a link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee7Hcs8XB3E&list=UUlzCn8DxRSCuMFv_WfzkcrQ

As for the presenters , most of them did a pretty good job . Right now I am wondering, does the teleprompter ever work right? A noteworthy example of this was John Travolta when he messed up Idena Menzel's name calling her “Adele Menzine” at the Oscars earlier this year, (of course he might have been drunk, take your pick). What happened this time is that Jennifer Lopez messed up How To Train Your Dragon II and called it “How to Drain our Dragon” although she recovered from it beautifully (this has nothing to do with her looks, but she does look nice). Gerard Butler made a joke about it in his acceptance speech ( here is a link) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXgcYLFkEjc

And Johnny Depp, “were you tipping the bottle”? I'm sorry, but he was obviously appeared drunk! He was taking his role in Pirates of the Caribbean a little too seriously because he looked like a pirate!

Now traditionally, the Hollywood Awards marks the beginning of Award season, but as for which movies will be going to the Oscars, it's a bit too early to tell (a lot of them have not even been released yet). I think though that “The Fault in Our Stars” definitely has a shot and “Gone Girl” definitely has a shot. Don't expect Neil Patrick Harris to win an Oscar this year because he is hosting. How to Train Your Dragon II has a shot in the animation category.

I am rating the ceremony as a whole with 3 and 1/2 stars. It's above average.
