Facebook Fanatics.....

Looks like the jury of the golden globe are regular users of facebook. Why? Well look at the winners list of the 68th Annual golden globes Awards

Best Motion Picture - Drama
WINNER
The Social Network (2010)
Other Nominees:
Black Swan (2010)
The Fighter (2010)
Inception (2010)
The King's Speech (2010)

Wrong judgement. Winner should have been movies like inception or black swan that are so simple that u need to see them again and again to understand. Movies so deep that even when u see it the tenth time u still find something new. While movies like Social Network is about a network that came into being accidently, so did the movie but clinches the best movie award?? People people, its facebook that is successful not the movie itself.I think tht Social Network was the last movie i considered that could have won this award, but hey! who am I to judge! I dont hav the personal status that "I have an urge to PEE right now!" on sites.




Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
WINNER
The Kids Are All Right (2010)
Other Nominees:
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Burlesque (2010/I)
Red (2010/I)
The Tourist (2010)

Fair judgement, but I still dont believe that the movie should have been in ths category. Why? Come on people, how does the concept likes Homosexual Parents and sperm donors end up being comedy or musical. '~'
but the acting and direction was a plus for this movie, which turn the momentum towards itself, beating Alice in Wonderland, a solid contender.


Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama
WINNER
Colin Firth for The King's Speech (2010)
Other Nominees:
Jesse Eisenberg for The Social Network (2010)
James Franco for 127 Hours (2010)
Ryan Gosling for Blue Valentine (2010)
Mark Wahlberg for The Fighter (2010)

Good Judgement, but on the basis of personal favorites, I wud have liked to see Mark Wahlberg taking this award.


Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama
WINNER
Natalie Portman for Black Swan (2010)
Other Nominees:
Halle Berry for Frankie and Alice (2010)
Nicole Kidman for Rabbit Hole (2010)

Michelle Williams for Blue Valentine (2010)

Excellent choice. Best judgement of the entire awards.


Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy

Other Nominees:
Johnny Depp for The Tourist (2010)
Johnny Depp for Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Jake Gyllenhaal for Love and Other Drugs (2010)
Kevin Spacey for Casino Jack (2010)

Come on people!! A person lands himself with two nominees in the same category and still is outclassed by BARNEY! '~' Johnny Depp should have been given the award for Alice in Wonderland.


Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy
WINNER
Annette Bening for The Kids Are All Right (2010)
Other Nominees:
Anne Hathaway for Love and Other Drugs (2010)
Angelina Jolie for The Tourist (2010)
Julianne Moore for The Kids Are All Right (2010)

Emma stone on personal favorites basis.

Christian Bale for The Fighter (2010)
Other Nominees:
Michael Douglas for Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps (2010)
Andrew Garfield for The Social Network (2010)
Jeremy Renner for The Town (2010)
Geoffrey Rush for The King's Speech (2010)

Excellent Choice. thank god bale's weight loss resulted in something.


Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture
WINNER
Melissa Leo for The Fighter (2010)
Other Nominees:
Amy Adams for The Fighter (2010)
Helena Bonham Carter for The King's Speech (2010)
Mila Kunis for Black Swan (2010)
Jacki Weaver for Animal Kingdom (2010)

I was expecting Helena Bonham Carter. But there are two actresses who were not nominated, despite brilliant performance in the same movie. Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard both from inception.


Best Director - Motion Picture
WINNER
David Fincher for The Social Network (2010)
Other Nominees:
Darren Aronofsky for Black Swan (2010)
Tom Hooper for The King's Speech (2010)
Christopher Nolan for Inception (2010)
David O. Russell for The Fighter (2010)

Bulls***!! Unbeleivable, a guy takes 8 years to write a movie and then directs it himself in order to make it perfect and acheives what he desired, and there's a guy who directs a story of some person who is successful due to a website and puts it on screen because of its success on global net... and the latter wins!! 'o'
Golden Globes jury should have considered these points before making a biased decision.


Best Screenplay - Motion Picture
WINNER
The Social Network (2010): Aaron Sorkin
Other Nominees:
127 Hours (2010): Danny Boyle, Simon Beaufoy
Inception (2010): Christopher Nolan
The Kids Are All Right (2010): Stuart Blumberg, Lisa Cholodenko
The King's Speech (2010): David Seidler

127 hours had better screen presence than Social Network and Inception was build way better than it. Again Facebook was my last choice for this award.


Best Original Song - Motion Picture
WINNER
Burlesque (2010/I): Diane Warren("You Haven't Seen The Last of Me")
Other Nominees:
Burlesque (2010/I): Samuel Dixon, Christina Aguilera, Sia Furler("Bound to You")
Country Strong (2010): Bob DiPiero, Tom Douglas, Hillary Lindsey, Troy Verges("Coming Home")
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010): Carrie Underwood, David Hodges, Hillary Lindsey("There's A Place For Us")
Tangled (2010): Alan Menken, Glenn Slater("I See the Light")

Thank God Facebook was not here.


Best Original Score - Motion Picture
WINNER
The Social Network (2010): Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross
Other Nominees:
127 Hours (2010): A.R. Rahman
Alice in Wonderland (2010): Danny Elfman

The King's Speech (2010): Alexandre Desplat

OH GOD!!!!!!!
My Choice Hans Zimmer or A.R. Rehman without a doubt.

FLASHFORWARD might be a REALITY!!




That's right people, all who had seen  the epic fiction TV-Series FLASHFORWARD and believed that they have seen a flashforward after watching the series may not be lying you know!

New Year's revelers in a small Arkansas town were enjoying midnight fireworks when they noticed something other than sparks falling from the sky: thousands of dead blackbirds.
The red-winged blackbirds rained out of the darkness onto rooftops and sidewalks and into fields. One struck a woman walking her dog. Another hit a police cruiser.

In all, more than 3,000 birds tumbled to the ground. Scientists said Monday that fireworks appeared to have frightened the birds into such a frenzy that they crashed into homes, cars and each other. Some may have flown straight into the ground.



All the fans of the flashforward (book or TV series), would remember that it all began with the birds in Somalia, balckbirds, crows in the series not the red winged, but still birds. All the birds in Arkansas seem to just fall flat on the ground at the same time, just as it is shown in the Series. The US environmental department is saying that the birds fell bcuz they were stunned by the fireworks....FUNNY! We never heard about birds falling from the sky during Afghan Iraq wars  'o' !!!

Is the US government  doing  some crazy experiments, (I am saying US bcuz the birds fell in US) same as the ones described in the series or is it really the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), showing its true nature now as described in the book?

I would recommend the TV series (also the book) to everyone who think they might want to see a bit more fiction other than aliens and future worlds.

PEACE PEOPLE \m/

P.S. Brace yourself for a FLASHFORWARD people and ignore the spelling mistakes.

Canis Majoris (Father Of All Suns)



VY Canis Majoris (VY CMa) is a red Hypergiant Star located in the constellation Canis Majoris. At between 1800 and 2100 solar radii (8.4–9.8 astronomical units, 2.7 billion km across or 1.7 billion miles) across, it is currently the largest known star and also one of the most luminous star known.




To illustrate, if Earth's Sun were replaced by VY Canis Majoris, its radius might extend beyond the orbit of Saturn (about 9 AU). Assuming the upper size limit of 2100 solar radii, light would take more than 2.7 hours to travel around the star's circumference, compared to 14.5 seconds for the Sun.


HANDS WARMER


Who says you can’t enjoy the great outdoors and stay warm? The Hand warmer is a rugged, metal hand warmer by the folks who make our favorite brand of lighter. It has a high-polish finish and a sleek, thin design so it easily fits into pockets, and it’s virtually odorless and stays warm for upto 12 hours. Besides, its reusable with Zippo lighter fluid and includes a convenient filler cup and warming bag. Whatever you’re doing out there in cold, keep a Hand warmer in your pocket and you’ll stay happy and warm doing it (I'd like to have one of these :D ).

SELF – POWERED EMERGENCY TOOL

 
 
The Self Powered Emergency Tool is a 12-in-1 unit featuring a built-in hand crank, so you can generate power when and wherever you need it. Never worry about the batteries for your flashlight, radio or about charging your cell phone and MP3 player. The flashing red light, panic button amd motion activated security alarm help to protect you from hard, at home, while biking, camping, hiking, fishing and boating. If you get lost, the compass and signaling mirror can help you find your way  or lead others to find you.
There’s even a built-in storage compartment for pills, matches and other small items.

LED UMBRELLA

In the pre-apocalyptic future, air will be so thick, it will be dark in the middle of the day. Coupled with the almost constant acidic rain, you’ll need to find a way to the noodle shop. Even if you don’t live in quas-futuristic Los Angeles, you can still have the coolest umbrella in the street (especially in countries with Load-shedding). Now, even in the darkest of nights, you’re a lot more visible to cars on the street, making your long walk though the rain a lot safer
