The Shadow Award For Making Me So Confused
TENET
Gary Nolan Is always a bit confusing, but this one!!
Well acted by John David Washington; Robert Pattinson; and Elizabeth Debicki so we have that lol.
I have no idea what is happening...where they are in time...and why are they doing this.
I am so confused. Help me. I am trying to understand!!!!
The I Want To Just Hug This Character Award
ADAM PLAYED BY CHARLIE PLUMMER; IN WORDS ON THE BATHROOM WALL
Oh my gosh; Adam; well played by Charlie Plummer; is in high school and is diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Now he has navigate high school, which is tough enough, but he has to deal with the disease and his medication which has side effects. If you did not see this film, find it. So well acted and ...Adam needs a hug.
Shadow Award For Best Actor Of The Year
TOM HANKS
At 64 he may be the best american actor right now. In 2020 he starred in News Of The World and in Greyhound. He is not afraid of quiet moments, meaning he is an actor who feels he does not need to talk to make a statement. Two good performances in a quiet movie year. He is getting better with age.
Shadow Award For Best Actress Of The Year
ELISABETH MOSS
Yes you saw her this year in The Handmaids Tale, however this award is for her performance in The Invisible Man. Playing this physical part most of the time by herself or against someone in a green suit, she is freaking amazing. Plus she is in every scene, she carries this movie.
I cannot wait to see her in her first Wes Anderson film The French Dispatch this year.
Shadow Award For The Worst Performance Of The Year
K.J. APA in I Still Believe
It may be he is performing along the side of a really good seasoned actress in Britt Robertson, but Apa is stiff as cardboard in this movie. Often it seems he is just reading his lines. It is bad real bad.
Shadow Award For Best Newcomer Of The Year
\
HELENA ZENGEL
This 12 year old from Berlin Germany, made her first US film with of all people Tom Hanks in News Of The World and she was amazing. She held her own and then some. Throw in she does not speak, she acts with just her face and body.
Shadow Award For Best Action Film
THE GENTLEMEN
Its has quick writing. A great cast. A twist at the end. It has action and humor. Throw in it is kind of stupid smart...if that makes sense. The Gentlemen is not your typical action film, the action comes in spurts, but you are all in because of the story.
The Shadow Award For Funniest Film Of The Year
BROKEN HEARTS GALLERY
Yes it is a Rom-Com, however I laughed out loud often during this film. I loved the lead Geraldine Viswanathan as Lucy who is awkward and newly single, thus she starts the gallery. It is a sweet funny film. I saw this in the theaters all by myself and thought...critics will hate this, it is too happy lol.
The Shadow Award For We Were Robbed By The New Oscar Desperation For Attention Rules
JULIA GARNER IN THE ASSISTANT
BEN AFFLECK IN THE WAY BACK
These two were the front runners for the Oscar in their categories. Then the Oscar committee changed the rules. You did not have to have your film in a theater to qualify for an Oscar (Wouldn't that be called an Emmy nomination?). So instead of saying no Oscars this year, we will combine films in theaters for 2020 and 2021 for next year, they change the rules so they can have the attention. Not only that, they moved qualifying until 2021 February. Huh? Its bullshit and that is why I am not watching this year. Its like telling sport teams during the year we will give you two more months to try to be the best, and we will also count minor league teams. I get upset by this because it caused the close of movie theaters and especially the art house theaters who relied on the small films to show that big theaters did not. So be it for millionaire actors and actresses; production companies (looking at you Disney) to care about local workers. Affleck and Garner were robbed because of the rule change. Now they may have not won but they would have at least been nominated.
The Shadow Award For Best Trailer Of The Year
WONDER WOMAN 1984
I mean the this trailer ...the music..the look..the action..got me all excited for the next Wonder Woman. It is just a perfect trailer to get you interested and excited for a film. Sadly the film did not live up to the trailers hype.
The Shadow Award For Most Disappointing Film Of The Year
THE LITTLE THINGS
Denzel Washington, is silently good.
Jared Leto in a small role here is great
The script by John Lee Hancock is just awful, it goes no where.
It has a big reveal at the end that falls flat that has you going, that's it?
How this happens with three big talents, Hancock should not be able to script another film.
Well there it is. I have to clean up the mess now after this awards show.
Thanks for watching the Shadow awards...thanks for your time as always.
