This weekend I saw The Devil Inside and it wasn't what I thought it was going to be at all, and I mean that in a very good way! I also saw Meryl Streep in The Iron Lady and, let me tell you, it was a sold out showing on a Saturday afternoon (which I was not expecting) and I wasn't even the youngest person in the audience (which I was expecting); it was wonderful, and even though I am not a fan of Meryl Streep, she was fantastic! She received the Golden Globe for her performance and she truly deserves it! I have those two reviews done and will be getting them up today and tomorrow!
Well, these are just selections of the Best of the Best: when there is a lot of divergence amongst the various awarding groups (as there have been so far thus) it demonstrates, again, all the incredible films which have been released; the nominations for the Oscars will be announced January 24 and I will post them asap, but you can tell that the differences between the Golden Globes--even just in the body of nominations--differs radically from the Critics Choice awards so it will be very interesting to see what is nominated for Hollywood's top honors!
