Happy Friday Ya'll! As usual I'm linking up with the lovely Christina, Darci, April & Natasha today to bring you a dose of Friday favorites...awards style!

I don't know if ya'll are like me when it comes to awards shows but I love to try and watch every nominated film before it comes out so I at least know what they are referencing (while I oooh and ahhh over the fashion- which is partly the real reason I watch) Here are 5 things I'm excited about regarding the upcoming Oscars:
1.) Best Picture: Though it is SUPER risk-ay and pushes almost every boundary known to film ratings... (I felt super uncomfortable in the theater..whew) the acting is incredible and Scorsese did a fabulous job with this one. (ps if you know me, you know I adore some Dicaprio..this post has a lot of Dicaprio just so you are forewarned)
2.) Best Actor in a Leading Role- well duh...Leonardo Dicaprio for The Wolf of Wall Street (he nailed it -but again VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED haha)
3.) Best Actress in a Leading Role- ok who doesn't love Meryl Streep? And a dry-sarcastic and hilarious attitude Streep at that? (August Osage County) However, Amy Adams is pretty fierce in American Hustle as well! Predictions??
4.) Best Actor in a Supporting Role- Ya'll I would LOVE to see Jonah Hill get this one. I even said while watching WOW (Wall of Wall Street) that even above Leo, he needed to get some kind of nomination for this role. Well done Jonah! (other great nominations in this category as well so this is a tough one!)
5.) THE GREAT GATSBY IS UP FOR BEST COSTUME DESIGN!! I REPEAT....you get it but yes, yes and double yes! I love the 20's/30's time period and the extravagance of that movie was absolutely fabulous so I am glad Catherine Martin is nominated for this! (if you haven't seen this movie- we are no longer friends haha) It is very close to the novel (which is hard to adapt to film to begin with) and the beauty of this film made me watch it about 4 times in one week. Clearly loved it.
Here is a link with the full list of nominations (Oscars Nominations 2014) and ya'll we still have time to watch all of the films because the Oscars are not until March 2nd on ABC at 7pm. So get going and tell me your favorites!
Happy Weekend!!
I'm a huge Leo fan as well but I HAVEN'T SEE WOW YET! I know, it's a shame!! I need to see it though, I've heard so many good things about it! I loved him in Great Gatsby and pretty much just the entire movie haha! Stopping by from the link-up :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Erin!!
DeleteI loved Amy Adams in American Hustle and Leo did such a great job in the Wolf on Wall Street! Can't wait for this years Oscars-- For Leo AND the Fashion!!=)
ReplyDeleteyesss fashion favs to immediately follow! haha
DeleteI'm definitely thinking the best actor category will be a tough one as well as supporting actor!! I'm all for Leo winning, but I think Jared Leto was pretty amazing in Dallas Buyers Club, as was Matthew...who knows lol!! Loved Amy Adams though and just about every dress she wore in the movie!
ReplyDeleteJared has a good chance at the supporting nom for sure!!
DeleteLOVE this, Jessi! I'm such a sucker for award shows! Cheers to award season! In Charlotte, they have programs where you pay about $30 and get to see all the nominated films (for the Oscars) over a two day period. It's literally an entire weekend of back-to-back movie watching. How awesome is that?! Have a great weekend, girl! xo
ReplyDeleteummm I'm coming down next time and we are going together! Done.Deal! haha love that! (I've got to catch up on some this weekend)
DeleteWhat?! That is awesome! I'm new-ish to Charlotte and still discovering all the hidden gems like that...Off to Google!
DeleteFUN picks! I'm interested to see who wins! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWOW was great! Little smutty, little bit too long but great and yes, go JONAH!
ReplyDeleteyess after 2 hours I was ok now...where is this going- originally it was over 4!!
DeleteI haven't seen WOW, but I did see The Great Gatsby. I love me some Leo, so I def. need to put WOW on my movies to watch list (yes, I keep a list so I don't forget!).
ReplyDeleteHe has always been my fav (him and Mark Wahlberg=drool fest for me) :)
DeleteWe are avid lovers of Leo in our house too!! Loved Wolf on Wall Street!!
ReplyDeleteHe is so effing gorgeous haha
DeleteI LOVE Leo as well and think he's great no matter if I like the movie. We saw Wolf of Wall Street a couple weeks ago and I'm hoping we will see American Hustle here soon! Stopping by from the link up!
ReplyDeletelet me know what you think of it!!
DeleteOk, so now I need to see Wolf on Wall Street and Great Gatsby. I feel so behind on movies!
ReplyDeleteGreat Gatsby first!! :) :)
DeleteGirl, your on top of it! haha. I don't pay attention to movies, actors, awards shows or anything! How lame am I!? Haha :)
ReplyDeleteWoW I have heard is really good. I wanna see it real bad but it ain't Mr. Redneck's thing. And you are right about awkward-- my boss came in on a Monday after seeing WoW and recounted several of the awkward scenes, making the office awkward. :) Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeletehahaha oh my goodness I would die- it is definitely a boundary-pusher!!
DeleteI have heard the Wolf of Wall Street is good but I have not seen it yet.. I love award show nights!!! Can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love award season!! My husband and I try to watch all of the major nominations before the Oscars... we have several movie binge weekends! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday, girlie!

Those are the best!! :)
DeleteThis is depressing, I have yet to see any of these movies!! Hello Mom of a 1 year old hahah! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry im still working on it! Thanks for stopping by! :)
DeleteWe ARE like the same person! Oh Leo! Swoon!!! And I was actually watching the Oscar nominations THINKING...I bet Jessi is SOO excited!! Love this!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Go AMY! Get one for the gingers! ;)
Oh how I heart you, my favorite redhead! ! ;) ;)
DeleteI need to see a lot of these movies still, so I can have a valid opinion!
ReplyDeleteI still need to see the great gatsby - my hubs gas no interest so I just need to go rent it. I loved the book!

I haven't seen Wolf on Wall Street yet, but my brother told me it was inadvertently hilarious. I 'm guessing he was referring to all the uncomfortable stuff in the movie lol.
