People’s Sexiest Man Alive Predictions

11/11/2012

Rumours are swirling around the net saying this year People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive is going to be everyone’s favorite stripper, Channing Tatum. I get it, Magic Mike (and 21 Jump Street) was a huge success for him this year. He’s not exactly my cup of tea, but I GET it. Have you seen him dance?! Not only that, but also seems like a very down-to-earth guy that isn’t afraid to make fun of himself. Major bonus points for that!

Who else would you add to this years sexiest men? Usually the men on the list are on it due to a popularity contest, and not just based on looks. Here are a few of my predictions this year:

With the success of Looper and The Dark Night Rises, there is no way Joseph Gordon-Levitt wont make the cut.

The Hemsworth brothers had great successes this year. Liam in the smash hit Hunger Games, and Chris with Avengers and Snow White and the Huntsman.

Mark Wahlberg can pretty much always make the list. He keeps pumping out hit comedies like Ted, and action movies like Contraband, this wont be the end of Marky-Mark any time soon!

Do you recognize this face? You might not, since in Tom Hardy’s biggest hit this year he was wearing a mask playing Bane in The Dark Night Rises. He also starred in a the western hit Lawless, where his chemistry with Jessica Chastain was magnetic! Tom is just starting his way into MAJOR stardom. (BTW- if you haven’t seen him in Bronson, and you’re OK with a little violence you must watch it. Brilliant acting!)

Robert Downey Jr. keeps pumping out huge hits such as The Avengers and Sherlock Holmes, which means we can guarantee to see him in the pages of People. Pretty sure he hasn’t left the list since the ’80′s!

After wooing all the ladies with his a capella abilities in the comedy Pitch Perfect, up-and-comer Skylar Astin is sure to make the list.

Because what girl doesn’t secretly wish she had a run in with James Bond? Skyfall was just released and it is rumoured to be Daniel Craig’s best performance as Bond yet!

It wouldn’t be a Sexiest Man List without finishing it off with some Ryan Gosling. It’s mandatory.

Who would you vote to be People’s Sexiest Men Alive?

My Golden Globe Predictions

01/15/2012

The 69th Annual Golden Globes air tonight and this is an awards show I always look forward to. I like when they mix TV and Film stars together. I will be posting my votes for best and worst dressed tonight, but here is my predictions on who a few of the winners could be.

BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

  1. THE DESCENDANTS
    Ad Hominem Enterprises; Fox Searchlight Pictures
  2. THE HELP
    DreamWorks Pictures, Participant Media; Touchstone Pictures
  3. HUGO
    Paramount Pictures presents a GK Films Production; Paramount Pictures
  4. THE IDES OF MARCH
    Columbia Pictures, Cross Creek Pictures, Exclusive Media Group, Crystal City Entertainment; Sony Pictures Releasing
  5. MONEYBALL
    Columbia Pictures; Sony Pictures Releasing International
  6. WAR HORSE
    DreamWorks Pictures; Touchstone Pictures

I really wanted to see The Descendants before tonight, but I never got the chance. I heard it was good. I have a feeling that The Help is going to win this one.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

  1. GLENN CLOSE in Albert Nobbs
  2. VIOLA DAVIS in The Help
  3. ROONEY MARA in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
  4. MERYL STREEP in The Iron Lady
  5. TILDA SWINTON in We Need to Talk About Kevin

Meryl Streep once said; the way to win an award is to do a bio-pic, which means she probably will win for her portrayal as Margaret Thatcher.  However I think Viola Davis should win. She had a Stellar performance by her in The Help.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA

  1. GEORGE CLOONEY in The Descendants
  2. LEONDARDO DICAPRIO in J. Edgar
  3. MICHAEL FASSBENDER in Shame
  4. RYAN GOSLING in The Ides Of March
  5. BRAD PITT in Moneyball

Again we have a bio-pic actor, Leonardo Dicaprio, so the vote could go to him- but I think Brad Pitt deserves and award; however Ryan Gosling is well overdue. This one will keep us on the edge of our seats for sure!

BEST MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL

  1. 50/50
    Summit Entertainment and Mandate Pictures; Summit Entertainment
  2. THE ARTIST
    a La Petite Reine – Studio 37 – La Classe Americaine – JD Prod- France3 Cinema – Jouror Production-uFilms coproduction; The Weinstein Company
  3. BRIDESMAIDS
    Universal Pictures, Relativity Media, Apatow Productions; Universal Pictures
  4. MIDNIGHT IN PARIS
    A Mediapro, Versatil Cinema & Gravier Production; Sony Pictures Classics
  5. MY WEEK WITH MARILYN
    The Weinstein Company; The Weinstein Company

I’ve seen all of these nominations and I loved each and every one! I have a feeling it could go to The Artist, since it was so different…but I have a major soft spot for Midnight in Paris, it was one of my favorite films of the year!

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL

  1. JODIE FOSTER in Carnage
  2. CHARLIZE THERON in Young Adult
  3. KRISTIN WIIG in Bridesmaids
  4. MICHELLE WILLIAMS in My Week With Marilyn
  5. KATE WINSLET in Carnage

If you want to give the award to a true comedic actor, I think the award goes Kristen Wiig, but Michelle Williams did an amazing job as Marilyn Monroe, and its a bio-pic so I think she might take this one. The tricky part is these two are up against two very popular award winners; Kate Winslet and Jodie Foster.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL

  1. JEAN DUGARDIN in The Artist
  2. BRENDAN GLEESON in The Guard
  3. JOSEPH GORDON-LEVITT in 50/50
  4. RYAN GOSLING in Crazy, Stupid, Love
  5. OWEN WILSON in Midnight In Paris

Man, this one is a hard one for me to pick…Jean Dujardin did an amazing job in The Artist, but he didn’t actually speak! Joseph Gorden-Levitt was so raw and emotional in 50/50 that I think he could be a serious contender, but I think Ryan Gosling could potentially take this one…he’ll either get one for Ides of March or Crazy, Stupid, Love. I preferred him in this film because it was a role we haven’t really seen him play before and he knocked it out of the park!

BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA

  1. AMERICAN HORROR STORY (FX)
    Twentieth Century Fox Television
  2. BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO)
    Leverage, Closest to the Hole Productions, Sikelia Productions and Cold Front Productions in association with HBO Entertainment
  3. BOSS (STARZ)
    Lionsgate Television in association with Grammnet NH Productions, Roya Productions and Old Friends Productions
  4. GAME OF THRONES (HBO)
    Bighead, Littlehead, 360 Television, Grok and Generator Productions in association with HBO Entertainment
  5. HOMELAND (SHOWTIME)
    SHOWTIME Presents, Teakwood Lane Productions, Cherry Pie Productions, Keshet, Fox 21

I think Game of Thrones should win, but Boardwalk Empire has Martin Scorsese behind the show, and they have won in the past. Game of Thrones has my vote! ( I’m majorly looking forward to April when season 2 comes out!)

BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL

  1. ENLIGHTENED (HBO)
    Ripcord Productions in association with HBO Entertainment
  2. EPISODES (SHOWTIME)
    SHOWTIME Presents, Hat Trick Productions, Crane Klarik Productions
  3. GLEE (FOX)
    Ryan Murphy Television in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television
  4. MODERN FAMILY (ABC)
    Levitan-Lloyd Productions in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television
  5. NEW GIRL FOX
    Chernin Entertainment in association with Twentieth Century Fox Television

I just watched all of the first season of Enlightened in one weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it. But I think this one will be a toss-up between Glee and Modern Family. We all could get a surprise and New Girl could take it, it has been getting lots of buzz.

What are some of your predictions? Do you agree with what I have chosen? I guess we will have to wait until tonight and officially find out. I’ve been looking forward to this awards show because Ricky Gervais is just plain awesome. I saw in an interview that he is NOT handing in his jokes for approval, which means its going to be just as funny as last year! I mean honestly, when was the last time you laughed out loud during an awards show? This guy MAKES the show!
