Today we had the nominees for 2013 Golden Globe Awards. You know how some people are with sports? How they have their favorite teams and players on that team complete with stats and the like? Well that’s how I am with movies and actors. I research their date of birth, their life story, watch their previous and upcoming works and follow them in the media, not the gossip section of who did whom and what they wore unless for the Oscars or Golden Globe that is
Now I wouldn’t say that I’m a big movie buff, if anything I’m more into the actors that make up the movie, I could only critic a movie if it’s been based on a book. Then I could say well this actor was right for the role or they could have done better with this scene or they missed this important scene and so on. My strength lies with actors from Hugh Jackman to Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Eddie Redmayne, Michelle Pfeiffer, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ryan Gosling, Jamie Campbell Bower, Johnny Depp and Zooey Deschanel and the ones that I have not named…I digress the point is I watch movies and I look for actors that are not well known at the time who are just waiting to make a name for themselves. The actor of the month for me is Eddie Redmayne. I absolutely loved him My Week with Marilyn and since then I have been looking up and watching previous movies that he’s been in.
My all time favorite actor has got to be Anne Jacqueline Hathaway from the very first movie I saw her in Princess Diaries I have fallen in love, and cannot wait till Les Misérables where I`m sure she did an outstanding job as she has been nominated for Best Supporting actress.
