Scream 2009
Okay, so definitely just got around to watching my recording of Scream 2009. And here are my reactions.
Best Female in a Sci-Fi Film: Very much wished for Zoe Saldana to win for Star Trek. Mais non, nasty ass Megan Fox won, and instead of giving a thank you speech, she tries to beat down the craptastic reputation she's developed because she doesn't know how to keep her mouth shut. This is not an acceptance speech, Miss Fox, hate to break it to you. Anger melted, however, when they panned on the lovely Karl Urban in the crowd, looking thoroughly displeased with the results of the nominations in his gorgeous, badass way. Really, his face said, "I'm gonna clap for you out of courtesy, but you are not worthy of my time."
Breakout Female: Wanted either Isabel Lucas for Transformers (cause she's cute) or Anna Torv for Fringe (cause she's awesome). Isabel Lucas won. She's adorable and shy and she was SOOOOO nervous and overwhelmed. I ver much wanted to hug her and congratulate her to calm her down. She was so nervous, but very appreciative.
Best Villain: Wanted ERIC FREAKING BANA for Star Trek, or Lorna Raver from Drag Me to Hell. Mostly ERIC FREAKING BANA. But no. He got beat out by Aleksandre Skaarsgard from friggin' True Blood. I will say no more. Still wanted ERIC FREAKING BANA.
Breakout Male: I was voting for the beautiful Taylor Kitsch in all his Cajuny goodness in X Men or the even beautifuller Chris Pine in his captainy epic goodness as James T. Fucking Kirk in Star Trek. But no. The Twilight fans rallied, and Taylor Lautner won for Twilight. His comment, "this is my first Scream award, so it's pretty cool." Really? Maybe...no, that can't be it...because it's a BREAKOUT ROLE AWARD? Maybe? Nahhhhh...
Best Comic Book Writer: No comment. No knowledge of, no interest in. Sorry, comic book lovers. I don't read them. Congrats to Goeff Johns.
Sidenote - World premiere of Shutter Island? Freakin' exciting. That is all I have to say on the matter.
Quentin Tarantino was fabulous as usual in his Chinese silk shirt. He did an intro for George A. Romero (zombie movie pioneer, i.e. Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Creepshow). QT was wonderfully inappropriate and foulmouthed. Oh, and did I mention that the clips from Romano's movies were underscored by Rob Zombie's Living Dead Girl, aka one of the best songs ever? And he walked on stage while a zombie played the Creepshow theme on a piano on the stage next to them. Halloweentastic, if you ask me. It's funny. A few years ago, you could't have paid me to watch soething like this, or take pleasure in zombie movies or guts or gore or horror. And now I love it. Thanks, steelerswheel, lol.
Best Horror Actress: Voted for Jamie King from My Bloody Valentine. Shock and amazement, fucking Anna Paquin won for True Blood. I HATE Anna Paquin. I have NEVER liked her in ANYTHING I've seen her in, and I probably never will. I do not like her acting at AAAAALLLLL. So disappointed. My Bloody Valentine didn't receive the props it deserved when it came out.
Best Director: TOTALLY VOTED FOR JJ ABRAMS FOR STAR TREK! Also, Sam Ramey, who's just cool. JJ FUCKING ABRAMS WON! And they played the new ST theme as he walked on stage, which makes my heart glow, because it's the most triumphant, proud, epic music I've ever heard. And it's Star Trek, and Abrams, and I'm still squeeing inside that he won. Like, really, jumping for joy in my heart.
OH, and John Cho and Karl Urban hosted the world premiere of never before seen footage of Star Trek. Which, by the way, was amazing, but it didn't fit in the film. Bring the Klingons in in the sequel. Too soon, lady bugs. But hey, it introduced Centaurion Slugs, which are very key in the movie, so that would have been a cool tie in. But like I said, save the Klingons for the sequel. More Eric Bana badassness as he takes out like, four Klingons by himself, annnnnd rescues Ayel from jail. Very cool. BTW, Karl Urban. Gorgeous. Just....guh.
Best Superhero: Hugh Jackman won. Im not surprised, cause he is the best superhero. That is all.
Cast of Big Bang Theory adorably introduced the farewell tribute to Battle Star Galactica. They're so cute. I never watched BSG, ever, but it was a cool part of the awards show anyways. I'm a sucker for sci fi, so I sorta wish I had watched BSG when it was on. Maybe SyFy'll run reruns and I can catch it now and again. And they played Shiny Toy Guns version of "Major Tom (Coming Home)" which is one of my favorite songs as well.
Best Horror Actor: Like Justin Long in Drag Me To Hell, and I'm definitely getting sick of the trueblood nominees. there were TWO in this category. And I 'AWWWWWED' very loudly because Justin Long was accidentally caught on film yelling "FUCK" angrily at the top of his lungs. No audio, but the visual was adorable and sad. Shocker, again, a Trublood nominee won. Ugh.
Eli Roth is adorable. Just had to say. He and Jamie King presented Most Memorable Mutliation.
Best Mutilation: I haven't seen any of these. I enjoyed them all. "The Pendulum Trap" from Saw IV won.
Very much enjoyed the Scream themed Geicko commercial.
Johnny Depp presented his biffle Keith Richards as a Rock Immortal. It's true. He is. It was very fitting that Johnny Depp presented him. Those two are tighter than Spandex on a fluffy kid. Johnny said, "Long after the world has annhilated itself in nuclear war, the only things that will be left are cockroaches and Keith Richards."
Jennifer Carpenter won Best Supporting Actress for Dexter. She's funny.
Best Horror Movie: Liked Drag Me To Hell, liked Friday the 13th (only for Jared Padalecki), LOOOOOOOVED My Bloody Valentine. Drag Me to Hell won, which is cool cause it was definitely an entertaining movie. DMTH also won Best Screenplay. My Bloody Valentine would have been my first choice though. Again, it definitely didn't get the props it deserved.
There was a promo for V which makes me excited because it stars Morena Baccarin, formerly Inara of Firefly and Serenity. And I like alien shows.
Cast of Vampire Diaries presented Best TV Show. And Ian Somerhalder is beautiful.
Best TV Show: rooted for Terminator (for Summer Glau), DEFINITELY NOT Trueblood. I got another shocker for you. Guess who won? Yep. You're right. Trueblood. I think I would like it if it was ANYBODY but Anna Paquin. But she ruins it for me completely.
Best Fantasy Movie: I rooted for Twilight cause I love KSTew, ABSOLUTELY rooted for HP and the Half Blood Prince cause I'm still a huge fan, loved Watchmen when I saw it, and I loved Xmen Origins because its XMen, even though the graphics in that were terrible. I loved all of them, really, I did. Twilight, of course, won, because it's the fangirl food of the age. Honestly, though, I think Watchmen should have won. It was the best of all of them. Taylor Lautner showed up with behind the scenes footage of New Moon, which is a little exciting. I have a love-hate relationship with the Twilight franchise. Pretty cool footage, actually, cause the werewolves in this are very very well done. I'm impressed, Twilight, I am.
Zombieland earned Breakout Movie of the year, which is totally friggin' deserved cause it's one of the best zombie movies ever. Like, really, I saw it for my birthday and it was absolutely fabulous. It was abfab, yes it was. And I'm so totally Wichita! You'd have to know the movie, sorry. Yellow hummer, Katey, Yellow hummer! Can't wait for that one on DVD. Woody Harrelson was WAY too normal looking for this show. Grey slacks and a blue button down and that was all. Come on, Tallahassee, kick it up a notch. Funny, nonetheless. He apologized to the zombie lovers for killing as many zombies as he did, and he confessed that he gets scared at scary movies so he doesn't like them.
Two words: Morgan. Freeman. That is all. Thank you for your time. He presented the Ultimate Scream Award.
Ultimate Scream Award: Nominees - Transformers 2, Drag Me to Hell, Twilight, STAR FUCKING TREK!! ahem anways, and Let the Right One In. winner is.....STAR FUCKING TREK!!! STAAAAAAAAAAAR FUCKING TREK!! Kelsey is currently wetting herself! No joke. William Shatner accepted the reward, though, and I haven't figured out why...he wasn't in any way affiliated with this one. And then he tried to plug himself into the sequel to Abrams...which isn't funny, cause us fans were a little frustrated at his bitter attitude towards this movie.
Stan Lee was presented Comic Con Icon award. He's adorable. Like, he's the cutest little old man ever. He flew in on a giant spider. I missed a lot of what he said, which was mostly about comic books. But he's adorable. Really he is.
All in all, I would have had a better reaction to the awards if there were less crappy True Blood wins and nominations, but hey, Star Trek got some good representation. I am content. It was a well spent two hours of my afternoon. Very much. That is all. Thank you.
