The King is here to deliver his speech… aka Colin Firth. He is up to present the Best Actress Award. He speaks fondly of each nominee, their achievement in film and in particular this year. Who wins?

Meryl Streep wins

“Oh my God. Oh come on. Alright. Thank you so much. Thank you thank you. When they called my name I had this feeling half of America going aah come alive, her again. But whatever. First I’m going to thank Don. I want him to know everything I value in our lives you’ve given me…. I just want to thank all my colleagues, all my friends. I see my life before my eyes. Really, this is such an honour. The thing that counts the most with me are the friendships. Thank you for this inextricably wonderful career.”

The 84th Academy Awards are here

Awards season is coming to an end and while you might be sad that the glitz, the glamour and the prestigious ceremonies are ending for another season, there’s still one major awards show to go. That being the 84th Academy Awards, which happens tonight (tomorrow morning if you’re in my timezone). Will The Artist take home top honours at the awards? Who will win between Viola, Meryl and Michelle? It’s anyone’s guess at this point, but it’s going to be awesome nonetheless. Check out a complete list of nominations below and be sure to check back in later on for more from the red carpet, the awards and more.

The Help, The Artist win big at the SAG Awards

We’re heading closer and closer to the biggest night in film, with the Academy Awards a little under a month away.

The latest awards show took place last night, that being the Screen Actors Guild Awards. We’ve seen early wins from The Artist and The Help at other award shows and that hasn’t stopped them here. Jean DuJardin is bound to win his first Academy Award, as he walked away with the Best Actor in a Lead Role award. Meryl Streep took home the Golden Globe recently for her role in The Iron Lady. When she got her Oscar nomination nodd, it seemed as if she’d be well on her way to Oscar glory. That was until Viola Davis won the award last night for her role in The Help. Right now it’s anyone’s game and one thing’s for sure, it’s going to get interesting.

 

Others winners worth mentioning? The Boardwalk Empire crew, Betty White and the rest of her Hot in Cleveland cast as well as the ever awesome and hilarious Modern Family team. Well done to all the winners (and nominees). Check out the full list of winners below:
