This is perhaps the least amount of films I’ve watched in a given weekend since the pandemic started. I must admit that makes me a little sad. Sad because I love movies, but I suppose not as sad because I am starting to (safely) get back to normal a little bit. Either way, the limited choices in films I made this weekend were mediocre at best, but for the most part enjoyable to watch. Sometimes you can’t ask for more then that.

MTV Movie & TV Awards
As cool as it is that anyone can vote for the MTV Movie & TV Awards, it also becomes painfully obvious that the general public just doesn’t watch much beyond Marvel’s catalog and Netflix young adult romances. That makes me sad inside, but I guess there’s got to be something for the average viewer. With that being said, let’s jump into the somewhat predictable results of the show!

It’s getting down to the wire folks! Usually, the Film Independent Spirit Awards takes place the afternoon before the Oscars, but in this unprecedented time of a pandemic, they switched their usual plan of attack by airing in a prime time slot during the week (a Thursday to be exact). Hey, I don’t care when they air, I promise I’ll be there to watch it. Normally, I would not be catching the Spirit Awards until after the fact, but this year, yours truly was a voting member, so I had to tune in!

After missing out on a live event last year, CIFF decided to take it’s festival to the virtual world by calling it CIFF Streams this year! Hey, no skin off my back.

Another new awards ceremony format entered the fold, as the SAG awards were also held at home. In fact, unlike most of the other that have tried a loose hybrid, the SAG awards were basically all from Zoom. No one interacted with anyone really. It was also the weakest attendance from the nominees I have seen thus far. Anyway, more recapping coming your way.
