I love watching movies but to be honest I have no interest in baftas or Oscar ceremonies where it's all thank you to somebody who made it all possible, thank you mum and dad, the producer, the director, the film crew and the drama teacher at school.....

I have the same problem with the music awards though you do at least have performances by decent artists in between the nausea...But maybe that's just me!!

Liar Liar Pants On Fire ...

Rogue: A Star Wars Story ... interests me, must look that one up

Viggo Mortensen ... = ... *swoons* ... Aragorn off Lord of the Rings

@jonsie Meryl Streep's acceptance speech was a corker in the recent Golden Globe Awards ... = ... rattled his highness trumpy

Not sure about the films as I am not interested in La La Land and I expect that will win it. I am very pleased to see Jungle Book made it into Special Effects category. I watched that two weeks ago and it is pretty stunning.

(So is the trailer I saw for Fantastic Beasts and where to find them)

I still need to see Arrival. It looks great and I'm a massive sci fi fan so really looking forward to that one!

Any predictions on the winners this year?
