I am watching the Critics Choice Awards as we speak, and I have IMDb open on my iPhone. I think that I need to invest in an iPad. It would make my life significantly easier.
My favourite new star is Elle Fanning, who is being interviewed as we speak by some man in a nice suit who does not really matter enough to me to warrant a name. When "Super 8" came out, I spent a few days learning everything that I could about Elle Fanning. If I was a 16-year old boy right now, I would be completely in love with her. Ok, I will admit it, even if I was a 16-year old girl, I would probably still have a raging crush on her. Even though Elle does not look too much like her sister anymore, it was uncanny how identical they looked when they were younger! In fact, Elle played a younger Dakota Fanning character in two different roles, "I Am Sam" and "Taken". Elle is one of my new favourite young actresses, and I continually check her IMDb page to see if there is any new information, or photos of her. She is always one of the best dressed on the red carpet.
The unnamed host-man is now interviewing a few people connected with "The Artist", the new silent French film. I am excited to see it, if only to see what everyone is talking about. It will only be the second silent film that I have seen; today I learned from IMDb that the Charlie Chaplin film "City Lights" is both Emma Stone and Geoffrey Rush's favourite movie. I tried watching it but, suffice to say, I did not need to find Part 2 through 6 of the movie on YouTube. Hopefully I have better luck with "The Artist".
Some lady-host is now interviewing Thomas Horn, who was nominated for a Critics Choice Award for his role in "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close". If you have not heard of Thomas Horn, you are not alone. When I looked at the IMDb page for this movie, and jumped to Thomas' page, I noticed that he only has two roles listed on his page: "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" and "Jeopardy"! Yes, this kid actually won Jeopardy, and then in his first film role he co-stars with Tom Hanks and Sandra Bullock, and he is a contender for this year's awards season! He must get a lot of 13 year-old girl stalkers, this kid is a Superkid!
Well, the Red Carpet show is over; I hope that you (Mom) have enjoyed these interesting tidbits that I picked up from IMDb. When I watch these awards shows and I see Hollywood stars dressed up in expensive designer clothes, I like to find out anything that makes me realize that they are not much different than us. Just way richer (and better dressed) versions of us.
