this contains wrap ups of awards shows and full lists of winners/nominees.
The 85th Annual Academy Awards was held at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and was hosted by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. While initally skeptical about the choice of MacFarlane as host, I actually found him to be rather good. Granted, I haven’t seen it all, but I loved the opening monologue which you can watch below.

The 55th Grammy Awards happened at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Despite some strict dress code rules this year, the read carpet at the Grammy’s is always interesting. For my fashion picks, I’m going for the most ‘sensible’ as it’s hard to judge the really out-there styles the Grammy’s bring. There were performances by Justin Timerlake and Jay Z, Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys and that’s just the beginning! fun was a big winner taking home Song of the Year and The Black Keys taking home a few awards. Gotye and Adele were winners as well (obviously). Read More
The 2013 BAFTA’s (British Academy Film Awards) were held at the Royal Opera House in London, England. It was a cold night with snow falling on the red carpet so it was hard to stay warm while looking good. Ben Affleck’s Argo was the big winner of the night leaving me (and everyone else) even more confused as to why he wasn’t nominated for Best Director at the upcoming Academy Awards. Everyone looked really good on the red carpet but I’ve been able to pick my favourite and my least favourite look of the night. Read More
The 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards were held at Los Angeles’ historic Shine Auditorium. With less than a month to go until the Academy Awards (or the Oscars as they are more commonly known), the SAG Awards are generally a glimpse at what is to be expected for the wins. Celebrating both Film and Television, Australian’s were very well represented. Without a host, I generally prefer the running of the SAG Awards to almost any other, as it is seamless and well run. My favourite part of the ceremony? When Dick Van Dyke won the Lifetime Achievement Award. Keep reading for my fashion picks, Dick’s acceptance and a full list of winners. Read More
The 2013 Golden Globe Awards have come to a close. Unfortunately (but also fortunately) I have been at work so I haven’t been able to watch the ceremony yet (though it is recorded on iQ at home) so I can’t give you a run down of the ceremony, other than to say that Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell presenting the award for Best Actress in Comedy or Musical was hilarious. What I can do is give you my fashion favourites and a full list of winners. Enjoy! Read More
K-Stew and the Twilight gang picked up quite a few surfboards
The 2012 Teen Choice Awards were hosted by Demi Lovato and Kevin McHale at the Gibson Amphitheatre on July 22, 2012 in Universal City, California. With special performances by the recently reunited No Doubt, Justin Bieber, Flo Rida and Carly Rae Jespen amongst others. There were lots of big winners tonight with Pretty Little Liars and The Vampire Diaries sweeping up in the television category. And naturally, the Twilight and The Hunger Games crew also cleaned up.

The second annual Critics’ Choice Television Awards was held on Monday 18th June at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Homeland and Community were the big winners of the night, taking home the best Drama Series and Comedy Series respectively. Modern Family cleaned up in the acting department, but it was New Girl’s Zooey Deschanel who took home the big prize, sharing it with Amy Poehler. Keep reading for a full list of winners. Read More
Russell Brand hosted the 2012 MTV Movie Awards this year. The funny man made some pretty hilarious jokes, but at the beginning, it just sounded like he was reading every word from an individual cue card. But don’t worry guys, he improved! As well as saying “HUNGER GAMES” and “TWILIGHT” a million times and making awkward jokes about his private life.
The Hunger Games may have beaten out Twilight in almost every category, but they still took home Best Kiss and Best Movie, which are probably the most important categories of the night! I was so angry that RPatz and KStew won Best Kiss…AGAIN! Should have been Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. Just saying. Keep reading for my full wrap up and full list of winners… Read More
