With the People's Choice Awards being handed out last night, and the Oscar nominations this morning, I have to admit I am very disappointed. I will start with the People's Choice (PC), which I think are the most important awards in Hollywood. The Hunger Games received way to many awards, considering the other movies nominated. In the category of Favorite Movie, I would put Hunger Games at third, with The Dark Knight Rises as first and The Avengers a close second; but all other movies are light years behind these two epic films. Next, the category of Favorite Movie Actress, Jennifer Lawernce was good but not great like Anne Hathaway, and both Scarlett Johansson and Mila Kunis put up better performances. And how can you even claim that The Hunger Games is a movie franchise when it has only released one film? The Dark Knight Trilogy should have taken that award or The Avengers with their amazing work, molding so many different films into one franchise and one story.
My scone beef in this post is the lack of The Dark Knight Rises earning an Oscar nomination today. Though I can't say for certain the film should win over films like Lincoln and Les Miserables, it certainly deserves a nomination more than Argo or Django Unchained. These movies are good films but The Dark Knight Rises is a great, once in a generation film! However, I'm pretty sure one of the reasons why the caped crusader was snubbed by the Hollywood elite again was the film's use of the talking points from the Occupy Wall St movement, a movement Hollywood greatly adored and supported, in their villains master plan. Christopher Nolan, the mastermind behind the Dark Knight Trilogy, gave a true glimpse of what that kind of mind set can lead too. But it also stepped on the toes of Hollywood hypocrites.
This is just my rant over the idiots of Tinsel Town!
