Hello folks. So another thing I would like to do on this site is track down each important movie award show of the season, and like always express my thoughts.
Here's How This Works: The movie award season is football season to me. Each year I will have a target subject that I'm rooting for this season. When the nominations for the award show is released and I will say a little commentary on if the subject has a chance or not. If the subject is snubbed in that particular award show, it will be skipped. Most likely I will say a last minute thought the day before the award show. I will be tracking down the season all the way up to the big dogs: THE OSCARS.
The Awards
I will be focusing on 5 award shows:
-The Golden Globes
-The BAFTAs
-The Critics Choice
-The SAG Awards
and of course
-The Oscars
As mentioned earlier, if the target is snubbed, then the show will be skipped.
The Target
The target will normally be either a movie or an actor/actress that I'm rooting for through out the season. Depending on the success of the movie, it will depend on how I think the subject will do. So it is possible that I think the subject will not be as lucky during an award season, but I'll root for it either way.
My First Subject:
Austin Butler
Now Austin's my subject this year for obvious reasons. Like many 2000s kids, I grew up watching him. But unlike 2000s kids, I didn't think much of him at the time. All I knew was that he constantly played the cute love interest in almost every Disney Channel or Nickelodeon series (iCarly being my favorite of his appearances). And while I understood the attraction towards him, I just didn't care much for him. So if anyone told me the day I watched 'ILike Jake' for the first time that this dude would become Elvis, I would've laughed in their face. But it happened. And you know what, he did good. He did REALLY good. I know he worked really hard on this and you can definitely tell in the movie. And it truly payed off. I was very impressed. And I will admit that I now have a crush on him for a reason.
Do I see him winning the Oscar, I don't know. And I'm not trying to undermine his performance. The reason why I am so iffy about him winning is because of other competition, mainly Brendan Fraser for 'The Whale'. If the Oscars happened right around the time when 'Elvis' was released (almost 6 months ago), then it would be an easy win. And while Austin's hype and performance is still holding it's ground even today, Fraser's is pretty strong too. Austin has been doing pretty well in the awards department so far. So I'm not going to say he's gonna loose, but it's not a solid win either.
The only way to really know for sure is to see how he does in the major awards, with the first being the Golden Globes as the nominations were just released today.

Golden Globe Thoughts
So Austin did receive a drama nomination, which I pretty much expected. However, it is against Fraser. If Austin loses to Fraser, I will most likely assume that'll be the case for the Oscars, but that is not guaranteed. The same goes if it's the other way around, but we'll see what happens.
Feel free to write your thoughts down below, and I will see you in 2 days for the Critics Choice. Bye!
