Award Season Nominations 2016

Warning: The awards in the above pictures I may or may not be covering and the dates are not current.

Well, what an amazing month it has been. Now, we have got nominations for four big award shows this month. The first of which was the Annies (which I covered in my last blog). But we are here to cover the SAG's, The Golden Globes, and The Critics Choice. I am doing this in the order they were announced. Well, let's begin!

The SAG Awards:

For Best Performance by a Cast for a Motion Picture (A.K.A. Best Picture): Spotlight will most certainly win here. I predict Bryan Cranston in Trumbo for Best Actor. For Best Actress, it's a toss-up. I'm not sure who is going to win so I'm going to go with Kate Blanchett for Carol.

The Golden Globes:

For Best Picture Drama, I predict Spotlight. For Best Picture Musical or Comedy, I predict The Martian (although it was not really a comedy). I predict Bryan Cranston for Best Actor in a Drama for Trumbo. I predict Blanchett again for Carol as Best Actress in a Drama. For Best Actor in a Comedy, I predict Matt Damon for The Martian. I predict Amy Schumer for Trainwreck and Best Actress in a Comedy. For Best Director, I predict Tom McCarthy for Spotlight. For best animated feature, I predict Inside Out.

The Critics' Choice Awards

Now this is kind of momentous because, since I wrote my predictions for the other award shows on this blog, the Broadcast Film Critics Association (which run The Critics' Choice Awards) added Star Wars the Force Awakens to the nominations list for best picture. If you want to know more about this I will post a link to a you-tube video about it. Will Star Wars win, no, I don't think so, but what I predict will win is Spotlight (Spotlight won all of the other critics awards so it will probably win here as well.) For Best Actor, I predict Matt Damon in The Martian. For Best Actress, I predict Cate Blanchett for Carol. For Best Director, I predict Tom McCarthy in Spotlight. For Best Animated Feature, my prediction is Inside Out (again).

As to the answer for my quiz, the answer is How to Train Your Dragon. There is no quiz this week due to the fact that I am getting ready for my end of the year poll (check back for the rules.)

Goodnight and Happy New Year,

Annie Awards (Official) Nomination Results

                                        

Well, I did my predictions for the nominations, now it's time to give you my predictions for the winners...

The same rules apply to this one; I am not going to focus on the TV categories. What I will say about the TV stuff is how many nominations Buddy's Musical Christmas got! I would also like to point out a mistake I made. In my earlier blog about this, Studio Ghibli's last movie was When Marnie was There and not The Boy and the Beast. The Boy and the Beast is a movie that came out this year but WAS NOT made by Studio Ghibli. So on to new business.

Overall, I did fairly well on my predictions. All of the movies for Best Animated Feature I predicted to be in there. But, as always, there are a couple of surprises. Like Minions is not on the list. I did give it an 85% chance of making the cut, so I really thought that it was going to be in there. Part of the reason is that there were only 5 nominations instead of 8. Granted, I have a hunch that Minions will get nominated at the Oscars. As to which movie will be eliminated to make room for Minions, it will probably be The Good Dinosaur. And When Marnie was There did not get nominated. However, they did make a new category this year called Best Animated Feature: Independent, and it is nominated there (but I don't what movie will win that category...I would probably pick When Marnie was There just to play it safe).

As to what movie will win? Didn't I already tell you this in my last blog? Inside Out!

As for Best Animated Short Film? I am really surprised that Frozen Fever is not in there. But, it is not really the greatest animated short. But, if I had to predict a winner, It would be Sanjay's Super Team. But, I have not seen it yet (it's Pixar, so it's a safe bet).

Now for best director? No surprises here. My prediction is Pete Docter for Inside Out. Inside Out will also take the best music category as well.

Moving on to voice acting: One surprise was that Louis Black was not nominated for voicing Anger in Inside Out (I'm sure he's ANGY about it). The winner will Amy Poehler.

And now for writing: I predict Inside Out (noticing a trend?).

So those are my predictions...Whether I am right or wrong, we will have to find out on February 6, 2016. What are your predictions? Comment or e-mail me (thatbradley@gmail.com) your predictions.

And as for the answers to my quiz in the last blog, the answer is C. Okay, and as for this week's question, What movie won 10 awards at the Annies in 2011? Goodnight, and Bee Happy!™
