I didn't watch the SAG Awards, mostly because I don't consider them to be as important as the Golden Globes or the Oscars. I did however watch the red carpet and Tina Fey and Mila Kunis were looking fly. Here are the film results.

Outstanding Male Actor Supporting Role – Christian Bale – The Fighter

Outstanding Female Actor Leading Role – Natalie Portman – Black Swan

Outstanding Male Actor Leading Role – Colin Firth – The King’s Speech

I wish that I knew what I know now...

This look is definitely an updated take on winter classics: I've worn this sweater and my purple Docs about a bazillion times on this blog already but they're both statement pieces, perfect for beating the winter blues. I say an 'updated' look because of the peter pan collar, which is definitely a more recent obsession of mine. Sparkles, Doc Martens and peter pan collars = this outfit is pretty much life defining.

 

A continued huge thank you to my roommate Jess, who has been responsible for my outfit pics as of late. She has a legendary habit of wearing two different coloured socks, and it always brightens up my day.

Henry Cavill is New Superman

'Superman' director Zack Snyder found his superhero across the pond.

British actor Henry Cavill, 27, will play the Man of Steel and his secret identity Clark Kent in the movie titled 'Immortals,' The New York Times reports. Cavill is best known for his roles in "The Tudors" and the 2007 film 'Stardust.' Snyder, director of films such as '300' and ' Watchmen,' called Cavill "the perfect choice to

127 Hours

If I ever needed an excuse not to go hiking before, I don't now. Not only was this story slightly more disturbing than Black Swan, it also managed to make two hours of a guy trapped under a rock interesting. Less than 20 minutes into the film the rock fell, and I was no less captivated by what followed than I was in the scenes proceeding the accident.

Now, the amputation scene was gross, but surprisingly it wasn't the most disgusting part of the movie. The scenes in which he consumed his own urine were so disturbing that I had trouble keeping my eyes on the screen. Director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) did a fantastic job of incorporating music and sound into each of James Franco's actions and it kept the pace of a movie about a guy stuck under a rock faster than a movie about a future king stammering. Though it was a gruesome situation, at least he had a great soundtrack to accompany his misery. Each of the songs fit in perfectly and provided much needed personality to this film.

And that's my one complaint. While Franco did an excellent job of transitioning from adventure-seeker to crazed, frantic maniac, I felt that more background should have been given to Ralston to build up his personality and character a little more. I left slightly nauseous and concerned with replenishing my fluids, but not with a deeper understand of who this guy was as a human being. Yes, his actions were extreme, but most of them didn't happen until the very end when he became so crazed and desperate that anyone in his position would have probably done the same.

I'm now proud to say that I have seen every film up for Best Picture at the Oscars this year and my pick for Black Swan stands strong. However, I'm thoroughly impressed that I could be captivated by a guy stuck under a rock for two hours...well 127 hours but you get what I mean.
