Announcing the Winners: The 2008 American Music Awards

BuzzSugar — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 23:01:50 -0800

Chris Brown, Rihanna, and Kanye West were among the big winners Sunday at the American Music Awards. Brown took home the biggest prize of all, winning Artist of the Year by beating out Lil Wayne, Coldplay, the Eagles, and Alicia Keys. It was one of three awards for Brown, who also won Favorite Male Artist in both the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories.

Rihanna was Brown's female counterpart, taking home Favorite Female Artist awards in the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories. Kanye was another double winner, named Favorite Male Artist in the rap/hip-hop category and also winning the Favorite Album award in that category for Graduation. Alicia Keys' As I Am was named Favorite Album in both the pop/rock and soul/R&B categories.

The night was also kind to American Idol winners, with Carrie Underwood winning Favorite Album in the country category for Carnival Ride and Jordin Sparks winning Favorite Artist in the Adult Contemporary category. Winners in all categories were picked by voters online and via text message, and to see the full list of people who took home awards, just read more.

Announcing the 2009 Emmy Winners!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 23:32:15 -0700

Well, the Emmys are over, and we have our full list of winners. Were you guys surprised by this year's picks? (Check out all my Emmy polls here.) I thought the show started out pretty unexpectedly when underdogs Kristin Chenoweth and Toni Collete took home trophies, and there were a few other surprises along the way. Towards the end, though, the big wins seemed pretty predictable with Mad Men for drama, 30 Rock for comedy - no surprises there.

I had a lot of favorite moments of the night - more on those later - but mainly, I just enjoyed seeing Neil Patrick Harris as host. I loved everything from his opening to Dr. Horrible, and most of you thought his opening number was pretty great, too.

For the full list of 2009 Emmy winners, just read more.

Announcing the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 06:41:44 -0700

Hollywood was up bright and early this morning for the announcement of the nominees for the 2008 Primetime Emmy Awards. We'd been speculating for a while about who'd be on the list, and now we know: Mad Men indeed got a lot of love, with nominations in the Outstanding Drama Series category and several of the acting categories (though I'm sad to see the show's women shut out), while Pushing Daisies and Samantha Who? were the two new network series to break through. And this was indeed the year of the cable series, with Damages, In Treatment, Saving Grace, The Closer, Breaking Bad, and Dexter just a few of the non-network series to get significant nominations.

Of course, there were also some yawners - will the Emmys never stop loving Boston Legal or Entourage? Was Curb Your Enthusiasm even on this year? OK, I'll save the rest of my griping for my snap judgments later today. For now, to see the whole list, just read more.

Announcing the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards Nominees!

BuzzSugar — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 06:50:48 -0700

This morning Chandra Wilson and The Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons rather adorably announced the major category nominees for the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards. It's a curious batch this year, with many of the categories containing more nominees than usual.

The 30 Rock appreciation continues, and has even increased, with a 30 Rock nomination in each of the comedy acting fields (and two in the Supporting Actor category - go Jack McBrayer!). There's still more love for Boston Legal and none for Friday Night Lights, which is disappointing but not surprising, and True Blood is nowhere to be found in the major categories.

For the first time in a long time, Jeremy Piven is not nominated for his work on Entourage, though Pushing Daisies is still getting a bit of attention with a nomination for Kristen Chenoweth. Kathy Griffin hopefully won't have quite so much to gripe about during the next season of My Life on the D-List, as she picked up not one but two nominations.

And as I'd hoped, there is some appreciation for an actress on Mad Men - but it's not January Jones. To see a list of nominees, read more.

Announcing the 2008 Emmy Winners!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 21 Sep 2008 22:21:08 -0700

Well, if we've learned anything from this year's list of Emmy award winners it's that the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences loves the smart sarcasm (30 Rock) and the historical dramas (John Adams and Mad Men). Those three series pretty much dominate the list of winners, though there's also clearly some love for Damages, In Treatment and the TV movie Recount.

Not a win in sight this year for either Grey's Anatomy or Ugly Betty. Weeds also missed out altogether, while House earned one award for directing (Greg Yaitanes) and Lost picked up one award for sound mixing, but nothing else.

Are you surprised by any of this? Delighted? Disappointed? How do these winners stack up against what your hopes were before the awards ceremony?

Gossip Girl, Chris Brown Lead Teen Choice Nominations

BuzzSugar — Tue, 17 Jun 2008 12:32:11 -0700

Gossip Girl may not have great ratings, but it certainly has the eye of the teen demographic. The show and its stars scored a total 14 nominations for the 2008 Teen Choice Awards today, easily the most of any nominee.

In the music categories, Chris Brown was the clear leader with nine nominations. Miley Cyrus, who will return as host of the surf-themed show on Aug. 4, picked up four nods of her own in both the music and TV categories. Among TV series, Grey's Anatomy and Heroes were big names, while the movie nominations ran the gamut from Rendition to Made of Honor. And hey, no matter what your feeling are on the Teen Choice Awards in general, I have to give props to any show that recognizes Friday Night Lights (ahem, Emmys).

Voting is now open at the awards site, and you have to be between 13 and 19 (or make up a birthday) to participate. To check out all the nominees, just read more.

BAFTA Noms Announced; Atonement Once Again Most Beloved

BuzzSugar — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 10:42:58 -0800

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced the 2008 nominations, which largely mirror the Globe noms - though there's (unsurprisingly) even more love for Atonement on the other side of the pond. The romantic Joe Wright-directed drama leads the nominations with a whopping 14, while No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood each nabbed nine. La Vie en Rose is another favorite, as is The Bourne Ultimatum, which is one of the few major departures from other recent award nominations.

The acting categories are filled with familiar names (Clooney, McAvoy, Knightley, Cotillard, Bardem, Blanchett, etc.), though there are a few new additions, like Samantha Morton (Control) and Tommy Lee Jones (No Country for Old Men). And apparently the German film The Lives of Others, which took home the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film last year is now eligible for a BAFTA award, and has a good chance of winning one with five nominations.

Are You Interested in Reading Russell Brand's Book?

BuzzSugar — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 08:15:18 -0700

After introducing himself to American audiences playing a smug British rock star in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Russell Brand went on to host the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Still, he's not quite yet a household name on this side of the pond.

So it's interesting to find his memoir on bestselling lists here in the States. Apparently My Booky Wook: A Memoir of Sex, Drugs, and Stand-Up is a good read, thanks to Brand's honest and humorous writings about his troubled childhood and struggles with addiction. America's eating it up!

So what do you think? Are you interested in reading this funny guy's book?

Last Chance: Pick the Golden Globe Winners, Win a Year of Entertainment!

BuzzSugar — Sun, 13 Jan 2008 07:30:13 -0800

There are just a few hours left before The Big Press Conference announcing the winners of this year's Golden Globes. While it certainly won't be as fun or interesting as past Globes shows, at least we'll finally find out who won!

This also means you still have a few hours to submit your predictions for the winners with my online Golden Globes ballot. Once all your predictions are entered, you're qualified to win a full year of entertainment! Better do it now, though - the ballot closes at noon PST today.

Want to see my predictions for who and what will win this year's Golden Globes? Just read more.

Buzz's 2008 Golden Globe Predictions:

MOVIES:

DRAMATIC PICTURE: No Country for Old Men
Not only was this one of my top 10 favorite movies of the year, it's been steadily cleaning up in the awards circuit.

MUSICAL OR COMEDY PICTURE: Charlie Wilson’s War
While I wish Juno or Sweeney Todd would win this one, Charlie Wilson's War may take the award for its mix of world politics, an engaging screenplay and well-loved big-name actors.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM: The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
This is a tough one, for each of the nominees has something big going for it (4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days won at Cannes for example), but Diving Bell seems to be most buzzed about overall.

BEST DIRECTOR: Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

BEST DRAMATIC ACTOR: Daniel Day Lewis, There Will Be Blood
The actors in this category each delivered arresting performances in his own way, but Day Lewis seems to have left both critics and audiences positively awestruck.

BEST DRAMATIC ACTRESS: Angelina Jolie, A Mighty Heart
Several of the actresses in this category had difficult roles to play, but Jolie's is the only one that was a real-life person the world came to know through agonizing news reports. If nothing else, it may go to Jolie because many people have a soft spot for Mariane Pearl.

BEST ACTOR, COMEDY OR MUSICAL: Johnny Depp, Sweeney Todd
This may be wishful thinking since Tom Hanks has a great shot at this win as well, but for whatever reason, I have a feeling Depp's performance as the highly disturbed Sweeney Todd will be deemed the most delightful (well, delightful and sick, but mostly delightful).

BEST ACTRESS, COMEDY OR MUSICAL: Amy Adams, Enchanted
Though Enchanted was a fun movie for a few reasons, really it was Amy Adams who carried the whole thing, infusing every minute of her time onscreen with humor and a kind of giddy light.

SUPPORTING ACTOR: Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
Bardem is on a serious winning streak at the awards shows, and frankly, he deserves the win more than any of the other nominees this year (certainly more than John Travolta for Hairspray, come on!)

SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Cate Blanchett, I'm Not There
Folks who liked I'm Not There loved Blanchett's performance, and those who hated I'm Not There said Blanchett was one of the few redeeming factors. A part of me wishes Amy Ryan would win for Gone Baby Gone but my guts are saying it'll be Blanchett.

ANIMATED FILM: Ratatouille
Don't get me wrong - as a long-time fan of the show, I loved The Simpsons Movie. But if I may be honest here, Ratatouille is, frankly, a better feature film. It just is.

BEST SCREENPLAY: The Coen Bros., No Country for Old Men
This one is tough to predict. Diablo Cody has gotten accolades out the wazoo for her Juno screenplay but comedies are traditionally less rewarded than dramas in this category. Also, the Coen Bros. screenplay is deserving of top praise.

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE: Dario Marianelli, Atonement
If nothing else, this is the one I hope wins, as I think Marianelli's score was a huge part of the storytelling in Atonement. Out of all the nominees in this category, this is the only score I remember noticing and liking while watching the movie.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG: "Guaranteed" by Eddie Vedder, Into the Wild
This is the one that really gets everyone's tear ducts working overtime. If you don't know what I mean, check out the music video for "Guaranteed."

TELEVISION:

BEST DRAMA: Mad Men
This one's a tough call for me between House - which has had its most creative season to date - and Mad Men, last summer's critical darling. But I suspect voters will reward Mad Men's strong writing, excellent performances, and precision in capturing a particular time and place in American culture.

BEST COMEDY: 30 Rock
No, all the awards in the world won't get more people to watch this gem of a comedy. That doesn't mean the show doesn't regularly make me laugh till I cry. Plus, between Alec Baldwin's relatively surprising Globe win last year and the show's strong showing at the Emmys, voters seem to love it.

BEST ACTOR, TV DRAMA: Michael C. Hall, Dexter
This one seems to me like a three-way race between Hall, Hugh Laurie, and Jon Hamm. But Laurie already has a couple of Globes, and it seems past time for Hall to be recognized for playing one of the most unusual characters on television.

BEST ACTOR, TV COMEDY: Ricky Gervais
Gervais' Emmy win last Fall was a bit of a surprise, but I would be less shocked to see him take this award home - especially if voters had the chance to see Gervais' truly outstanding comedic and dramatic work in the Extras series finale.

BEST ACTRESS, TV DRAMA: Glenn Close, Damages
This is one of the strongest categories of the awards, so it's a very tough call. But Close gave one of the year's most compelling, mystifying performances as the ruthless Patty Hewes. Her shifts from nice to evil and back again always kept me guessing.

BEST ACTRESS, TV COMEDY: Christina Applegate, Samantha Who?
Samantha Who? isn't the best comedy on television right now, but that's not for lack of trying on Applegate's part. She works incredibly hard, yet manages to look like she never breaks a sweat.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR: Donald Sutherland, Dirty Sexy Money
This show has been uneven at times, but Sutherland consistently hits the perfect tone as the patriarch of the sprawling, spoiled rotten Darling clan.

BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS: Katherine Heigl, Grey's Anatomy
Frankly, this prediction owes more to momentum than anything else. It just seems to be Heigl's year.

MTV Video Music Awards: Who's Missing From the Nominations

BuzzSugar — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 08:15:45 -0700

The 2008 MTV Video Music Awards are coming our way once again, and as I skimmed the nominees for this year, I started to feel perplexed. Some of the nominees are totally appropriate, but others make me scratch my head, and I could think of other videos from this year that are far more deserving.

Maybe it's a sign of the times, but did you know that there used to be categories for awards like Best Post-Modern Video and Best Concept Video? I feel like they used to at least acknowledge groundbreaking work in music videos, but because of the decreasing airtime for videos on MTV, maybe there just isn't a need anymore? I'm not sure, but I do know that there are some videos I would add to the mix on Sept. 7 if I could.

To see who I'd add and to chime in your own favorite videos for each category, read more.

Best Female Video: MTV's nominees include Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body" which is definitely funny, and Rihanna's "Take A Bow." But maybe instead of Jordan Sparks's video for "No Air" I'd throw in Feist's video for "I Feel It All" and Solange Knowles's "I Decided." Solange's costumes and visuals are so awesome, and how can you resist Feist?

Best Male Video: It's hard to argue with most of MTV's picks, especially Usher's "Love in This Club" (touch of sarcasm there), but I would add Andrew Bird's video for his song "Lull". It's a lovely and unique animated piece that deserves some love.

Best Hip Hop Video: I'm glad MTV included Kanye West and Chris Martin's video collaboration for the song "Homecoming" in the list of nominees because it's a gorgeous shout-out to Chicago. I think another Kanye collaboration deserves to be in there, though: Estelle's video for "American Boy."

Best Pop Video: I'm not going to argue with Jonas Brothers or Danity Kane or Britney Spears because, you know, whatever. But wouldn't it be hilarious if Robin Sparkles made it in there?

Best New Artist: Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Jordan Sparks - but no Vampire Weekend?! They're having as big a year as it gets for a band. They're even apparently making America cool again, for Pete's sake, and still no love from MTV. Well, I would like to officially note that I think they deserve a nod for "Oxford Comma." Also, that first She & Him video where Zoe's head explodes is awesome and they're the best new artists in my heart.

Best Rock Video: I don't know if Death Cab For Cutie falls into the same category as groups like Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, and Linkin Park but I think their video for "I Will Possess Your Heart" is great and deserves some attention.

What about you? What would you add to this year's list of nominees?
