If anyone were to have told you back on May 13 when Universal’s raunchy female comedy, Bridesmaids opened that we would seriously be discussing its Best Picture Oscar nomination prospects a week before Christmas, the status of their mental health would been called into question. But even though it remains a long shot Oscar pundits are online actively debating its Best Pic potential. Universal is ratcheting up its campaign with an eye on the prize it never dared dream about, and kudos for the Judd Apatow produced film directed by Paul Feig keep piling up as this awards season gets curiouser and curiouser.
8 Movies to Watch With Your Girl Gang: Here are some of the best picks if you wish to have a fun time watching some movies that celebrate female friendships like no other.
Chillopedia | Brides and bridesmaids are, or should be, close friends. There is so much preparation, organisation and arrangment to do for a wedding that lots of trust is placed on both sides. It’s good for the friendship of all concerned to take time out to enjoy each other’s company and what could be more in tune with the topic on everyone’s mind than watching a wedding-based comedy?
There are no 'best' wedding movies to watch. How could that even possibly exist? Give me drama, suspense, and action any day of the week...then if you want to sneak in a wedding at the end for a happy ending...okay but make it brief.
The Collider:
Since the MTV Movie Awards air in the middle of the summer, they’re allowed to pull from successful spring pictures. This year, they’ve done exactly that and awarded The Hunger Games with eight nominations. However, MTV didn’t forget the movies of last summer, and also gave eight nods to Bridesmaids. As for the other nominees, the Twilight series has always dominated the MTV Movie Awards in the past, but The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 only pulled in two nominations this year. It may be a case of out-with-the-old, in-with-the-new, but it’s worth noting that this was the first year where nominees were chosen by a panel of industry insiders instead of online voting.
These awards are different but sometimes I like them better than the other you see at the beginning of the year.
Maybe I'll finally watch them again this year since it won't be a completely "I Love Twilight" fest like it's been over the last several years.
I know...I'm so glad that is almost over. That last one was even more boring than the first two.
Being that I'm not a 16 year old girl (and obviously not part of MTV's demographic) I don't think I'll be watching these anytime soon.
