Movies and TV have been really great this year, so trying to choose who the winner will be in some of these categories can be difficult. Luckily, we’ve done some of the hard work for you! Here are our thoughts on who should win in each category, our picks are the bolded titles.
This year, our favourite movie was definitely 12 Years a Slave but there were a lot of close seconds. The inclusion of Rush in a few categories was exciting, as we hoped that would get some nods. Best Supporting Actor and Actress was definitely difficult. Lupita Nyong’o was incredible in 12 Years a Slave, but Jennifer Lawrence also pulled off a stunning performance in American Hustle. Similarly, every actor in the Supporting Actor category had us thinking they could win. In the end, we went with Dallas Buyers Club’s Jared Leto for his incredible transformation despite our love of 12 Years a Slave’s Michael Fassbender due to his captivating layered portrayal of Master Epps. The TV categories were a bit of a shambles for us this year. We had so few opportunities to check out full seasons of these awesome shows…
