This Awards Show is definitely more fun than the MTV Movie Awards, and of course way more entertaining than the Oscars, the Golden Globes, the People’s Choice Awards, or any other.
For one thing, the costumes are fan-TAS-tic! All exotic feathers, glitter, blackened eyes, sumptuous velvet, zombies, Harold & Kumar . . .
Quentin Tarantino is unleashed, everyone gets to show off their cool leather jackets, and there is even a category for Best Mutilation (In this category, something called The Reverse Bear Trap, from “Saw 3D: the Final Chapter.” Self shudders to think). As well as glimpses of Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ann Hathaway, and Gary Oldman, accepting the award for Most Anticipated Movie (for “Dark Knight Rises”).
Thank goodness, NO nominations for R-Patz, K-Stew, and only one self knows of for “Harry Potter,” though the latter did win one major award category (Self forgets: Was it something like, Best Movie of the Decade?)
The year the MTV Movie Awards stopped being fun was when “Twilight” appeared. Because every single year after that, “Twilight” or one of its clones won Best Movie. Yaawn.
Anyhoo, back to the Scream Awards. Bradley Cooper accepts the award (Best Thriller) for his movie “Limitless,” which was a bad movie but was certainly better than “Red.”
Nic Cage is inducted into the Scream Hall of Fame.
Darren Aronofsky wins Best Director for “Black Swan.”
Some British actor wins “Best Science Fiction Actor” for his performance as Dr. Who (He beat out Daniel Craig — for “Cowboys and Aliens” — and Chris Evans aka Captain America, imagine that!!!)
As far as self can tell, the only celluloid vampires up for an award are the ones in “Let Me In” (which wins as Best Horror Movie). Wait, that’s not quite right: “True Blood” was up for Best TV Show (The winner in this category: “Game of Thrones”)
Best Science Fiction Movie was “Super 8.”
Kate Beckinsale makes an excellent sartorial choice in choosing to appear in purest white (She looked great). Self loved Chloe Moretz’s black lace dress (She’s growing up faaast!) There was a preview of the new Sherlock Holmes movie. And of the new Nic Cage-as-Ghost Rider movie.
Cuba Gooding, Jr., standing next to George Lucas, delivers the best line of the night: “I know what you all are thinking: Finally, some black men!”
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
