2012 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards – Recap
So sometimes, the best laid plans don’t work out.
While I had planned to share lots and lots during the show…priorities changed and an under the weather wife and a daughter who needed help with homework and a little snowstorm had me watching, but not commenting.
So here is my quick takes on the awards last night.
- 4 wins for The Artist sets us up a definite
front runner for the Best Picture award at the Oscars.
- The Help with 3 solid awards sets the film up as
a solid contender in the race.
- Viola Davis had an extremely touching speech and
really showed a good America who she is.
- Christopher Plummer’s win surprised me – really
was pulling for Albert Brooks but was happy with Plummer’s win.
- George Clooney is still the man everyone wants
to be, and the man every woman wants. I really want to meet him some day. (Plus
he’s in the best film of the year).
- Octavia Spencer, was she surprised or what? Good
for her!
- Thomas Horn winning in the Best Young Actor
category showed youthful innocence in his original response.
- Bridesmaids WAS the Best Comedy released this
year.
- Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel were really decent
hosts, funny without being mean. (Though that Tree of Life joke, fell a bit
flat…)
- Good packages (love the Source Code references
in the fictional characters we lost).
- Drive won Best Action Movie – but I STILL
insist…although it was a very COOL movie…it was NOT an action film (outside of
some scenes).
- Loved the appearance by Statler and Waldorf,
classic…though the timing was off on the package.
- Maybe next year we need a best adult film
category to sit at the “naked” table. HA!
- Would have loved to have had a little more
attention to the tech awards, some of us take it very seriously and would love
to see a bit more time to recognize the winners…even if not individually.
- Martin Scorsese is a class act all the way. Well
deserving of his award and his nominations.
- Documentary to Scorsese just seems like nothing
compared to Shine A Light or some of the other music films he was a part of. I
still missed The Interrupters, Senna or some of the other docs in that
category.
- What a wonderful and gracious group of stars
that were out at the awards.
- I better be smart, and make it to the 18th
Annual Critics’ Choice Movie Awards…next January. See you then!
