It’s the most wonderful time of the year! No it’s not the holiday season, it’s award ceremony season. With the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards over and the Academy Awards, and the Emmys around the corner, the entertainment industry is abuzz with anticipation. Some of top contenders this year are films such as The King’s Speech, Inception, Black Swan, 127 Hours, The Fighter, True Grit and The Social Network and shows such as Glee, Modern Family, The Big Bang Theory, The Office, and 30 Rock.
The Golden Globes are determined by the votes of the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. At the Golden Globes, The Social Network went home with the big awards of the night such as Best Motion Picture in a Drama, Best Director in a Motion Picture, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Score. Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer from Glee won for best performance by an actor and actress respectively.
The SAG awards are determined by the votes of the members (approximately 100,000) the Screen Actors guild. The big winner of the night was The King’s Speech which won the award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and Colin Firth won Outstanding Performance by a male actor in a leading role. Other big winners were Christian Bale, Natalie Portman, Betty White, and Melissa Leo.
This year in the film and television industry have raised the bar. I am excited to see what is next to come from the Screen Actors Guild.
