Here are my nominations and winners in the categories that Oscar forgot:
So the Oscar for....
Most Magnificent Male Torso of 2013
There can be only one winner in this category, but I am giving special mentions to:
Robert Downey Jr's surprisingly tactile (just ask Gwyneth!) metal breast plate
in Iron Man 3
in Iron Man 3
Chris Hemsworth's deliciously daring leatherette nipple look
in Thor The Dark World
in Thor The Dark World
& Tom Hiddleston's wickedly ripped chest also
in Thor The Dark World
in Thor The Dark World
But for sheen unadulterated Phwoar Power, the winner is....
Henry Cavill's beyond belief buffedness -
seen in both nekkid and kryptonia-clad varieties - as the Man of Steel...
Or rather The Man That Steals Your Breath Away
Most Luscious Movie Lip-Lock of 2013
Again, honourable (and somewhat green-eyed) mentions go to:
Christian Bale and Amy Adams in Amercan Hustle,
because hey, Sexy Comb-Over Action!
Henry Cavill and .. What? Amy AGAIN??
Getting even more action in Man of Steel
& Josh Dushamel and Elizabeth Banks in Movie 43
(because that was the ONLY good thing about that movie)
But for total OTT kiss-arama splendiferousness, the winner is...
Leo DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan getting jazzy and jiggy
and generally going off like firecrackers...
(Oh no actually those were real firecrackers)
in The Great Gatsby
in The Great Gatsby
Muchas Adorable Meet Cute of 2013
The nifty nominations are:
Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams meet-cuting,
or cute-meeting over and over again until he gets it right in About Time
Josh Dushamel and Julianne Hough managing to get a meet cute
out of paint shopping in Safe Haven
But the hands down winner for awe-inspiring coolness...
Christian Bale and Amy Adams doing their meet cute
with comb-over confidence and a shared love of Duke Ellington
in American Hustle
in American Hustle
Best Pack-An-Emotional-Punch Scene of 2013
Some of the movie moments that bought a tear to my eye this year:
Matthew McConaughy's formerly homophobic rodeo cowboy
stands up for his new transgendered mate Jared Leto in The Dallas Buyers Club
Chris Hemsworth's playboy driver James Hunt helps bully his arch rival, Daniel Brulh's Niki Lauder back to the track after his catastrophic crash in Rush
Hugh Jackman's alpha dad discovers that his daughter has disappeared in Prisoners
But - in a film packed full of harrowing emotional punches - the scene that had me blubbing out loud in my local multi-plex was...
Chiwetel Ejiofor's Solomon Northup returns to the bosom of his family after
12 Years a Slave and says quietly: 'I apologise for my appearance, but I have had a difficult time these past several years.'
