In terms of the awards themselves, the biggest change came with the number of nominees for the most important category, Best Picture. Instead of the usual 5 nominees which always ended in negative feedback due to the non-inclusion of major hits such as The Dark Knight at last year's presentation, the academy saw fit to bump the number of nominees up to 10 rather than improve the selection process. So now, we're left with a few legitimate contenders and a bunch of filler movies that would never have been nominated in previous ye

Summer Bishil (who was 19 at the time the movie was filmed) plays 13 year old Jasira. The movie awards games trophies|https://Moviefestivalhub.com/ puts the audience in an uncomfortable position with the very first scene - in which she walks out of a bathroom wearing a bathing suit with shaving cream on either side of her crotch along the line of the bathing suit. Not only that, but her divorced mother's boyfriend is volunteering to shave her down th

When customers start returning videos to the store as defective, Mike discovers that the entire inventory is now useless. Mia Farrow plays an older woman who is keeping an eye on things while the owner (Danny Glover) is staying out of the picture, pretending to be out of town. She has only ever seen "chick flicks" but wants to watch Ghostbusters . Of course it's now erased but finding the store in disarray she threatens to report the situation to the owner if they don't get her a c

If Mr. Robot wins Best Drama, there's a good chance its star will also be recognized. It makes sense that the two would go together. And besides, Malek took on a complicated, potentially disastrous role as the troubled Elliot and turned it into an affecting and exciting example of just how fascinating an unreliable narrator can be when placed in the hands of such a talented perfor

While he may be Catholic, he still has the ultra-strict personality of a Middle Eastern father. The next morning when Jasira shows up for breakfast wearing pajamas but obviously without a bra - he promptly slaps her across the face and tells her to put on something dec

Her husband Albert is a successful businessman in the golf industry, and it consumes his life. He is very cold to his wife, which is doubly unfortunate because of the fact that she has deep emotional problems stemming from being the victim of sexual abuse as a child. She is teeming with self-loathing and his attitude towards her certainly doesn't help matt

Uzo Aduba is going to win awards for her role on Orange is the New Black for as long as that series is running – or as long as she stays on it. But the thing is, Aduba absolutely deserves the accolades that have been heaped upon her. She has given Suzanne Warren, a character with a nickname like 'Crazy Eyes,' the sort of abundance of character and compassion that transcends such a shallow moni

FOX's Brooklyn Nine-Nine made a big awards splash its first season, and then seemingly shifted away from the spotlight. That's too bad, because it is has become one of those shows that is too good for its own good, and Braugher is a big part of why that is true. His performance as Capt. Ray Holt has grown into one of the most consistently hilarious roles in a comedy to

We can go on about The Americans all day. The show is deserving of more recognition, as is its cast – particularly Matthew Rhys, whose depiction of a man gradually becoming overwhelmed by his conscience is one of television's best. Elsewhere, you have Mads Mikkelsen's role as the cannibalistic Dr. Hannibal Lecter , which redefined the character and made him frightening and frighteningly romantic all at the same t

Like many films shown at Sundance this year, Towelhead combined different styles (humor and drama), but does it more successfully than most. It's the story of a thirteen year old girl who is half Lebanese / half WASP whose physical development is quite ahead of her age. Towelhead (aka Nothing is Private) was written, directed and produced by Alan Ball , the same fellow who wrote the screenplay for the similarly themed American Beauty a few years

Things continue to spiral out of control and eventually Jasira turns to a concerned pregnant neighbor who takes her in and educates her regarding self-respect, why older guys who want to be "friends" with 13 year olds should be avoided like the plague, and the definition of r

The stage at the back of the audience was utilized for the geeky cool actors to present the ten best pic nominees throughout the evening. They included Ryan Reynolds, Chris Pine, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeff Bridges, Charlize Theron and Keanu Ree

Eventually he violates her, with her at first going along but then being physically hurt by him. She is confused and doesn't know what to do with her feelings, both physical and emotional, and she cannot turn to her cold father for comfort or adv

Sure, it's not the surprising choice, but it is the right choice. Noah Hawley did what he set out to do with Fargo season 2: tell a sprawling, Midwestern crime story and fill it with more memorable characters than you can shake a mustachioed Colin Farrell
