Tony Musical Nominees: All Based on Movies!

Posted on May 1, 2013 at 3:54 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ-n5LdEdRY

You may not be able to make it to New York to see the nominees for this year’s Tony Award for best musical, but you can look at what inspired them — all four of this year’s nominees are based on movies. Kinky Boots is based on the true story of a British shoe factory that was about to close until it developed a nw specialty — fancy footwear for cross-dressers.  Bring It On is based on the story of the high school cheerleader who finds out that her team’s routines have been stolen. Matilda, based on the book by Roald Dahl, is about a little girl who triumphs over awful parents and a tyrant of a school principal. And A Christmas Story is based on the holiday season classic, inspired by the memoirs of Jean Shepherd.

Flavorwire’s New Oscar Categories

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 3:59 pm

I’m with Flavorwire!  It’s time for some new Oscar categories like “best ensemble,” “best casting,” “best comedy,” and “best soundtrack.”  I’d also like to see “best performance under age 20,” “best newcomer,” and “best contemporary costume design.”  I’ll be thinking about all of those possibilities as I watch tonight’s awards.

The Razzies — The Worst Films of 2012

Posted on February 24, 2013 at 8:36 am

The day before the Oscars, the Razzies are awarded to the worst films of the year. Adam Sandler, who swept the awards last year for “Jack and Jill,” managed to get only two Razzies (worst actor, worst screenplay).  The last chapter of “Twilight’ was the big winner/loser this year, with Razzies for Worst Picture, Worst Actress (Kristen Stewart) Worst Supporting Actor (Taylor Lautner), Worst Screen Couple (Lautner and 12 year-old Mackenzie Foy), and Worst Screen Ensemble, Worst Remake/Rip-Off or Sequel, and Worst DirectorDon’t agree?  You can be a Razzie voter next year.
