62nd British Academy Film Awards

Name: Nivalius Coryzan Race: Icer Rank: Ultimate Icer Topic: Your family has all but died out, leaving you as a leader for the universe waiting to be molded. You weren 't raised, as the rest of your family has all vanished before your childhood, so you grew up on your own morality. Describe how your isolation in life molded you into a leader. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Roleplay: Animosity. That is something a forlorn, infantile Icer in the vast area that was filled with abyss-like amounts of space, that was known as the 'Universe ' felt towards the previously mentioned ‘Universe’. A desolate planet that had basically no signs of life, and almost none of his race scattered across it. A rather lonesome planet. Said planet was a land of ice filled with a plethora of, well, ice. Turbulent waves pushing back ice that fragmented from the landscape; forcing it towards the land. Those were banal on this egregious planet. Adjacent towards the landscape was a diminutive household in which the Changeling resided in. A household filled with little to no equipment at all, merely for resting and conquest plans. When one would enter the impish household, they would see a scarlet throne emblazoned with golden trimming that enveloped the cushions, filling it with sovereignty. A throne that was never seated on, merely there to fill the gap of memories that the…

equal rights. This problem is strongly demonstrated in American Cinema. Christina Hoag (2016) states in her article, Diversity in Hollywood, “White males still dominate virtually all aspects of [the film industry].” Recent events have led to the discovery of unfair wages between male and female actors to racism in today’s award shows. In years prior, laws had to be placed in order for women and non-whites to have rights in America. The film industry solely relies on backlash and the hope that…

Back in 2010 The Lion and the Mouse, by Jerry Pinkey, was awarded the Randolph Caldecott Award by the ALSC for being the most distinguished picture book of the year. When the ALSC decides what book will be the receiver of the Caldecott Award there are quite a few factors that go into their decision making process. Their website shows all of these factors, but the main ones to be focused on are that the publisher/artist must be an American citizen and that their illustrations be original. As far…

My favorite movie would have to be Silver Linings Playbook, written by Matthew Quick and Directed by David O. Russell. This movie identifies a variety of different genres: comedy and romance-drama are just two of these. This movie can relate to a range of different people; the themes are easily identifiable. Silver Linings Playbook is about a struggling man, Pat Solitano Jr., portrayed by Bradley Cooper. The movie begins with Pat leaving a mental institution with his mother, the movie then…

Tom cruise set to receive CinemaCon 2018 award Legendary actor Tom Cruise will be the first actor to receive of the 2018 CinemaCon Pioneer of the Year award.

Prince Rogers Nelson, better known as simply Prince, is arguably one of the most talented and influential songwriters of all time and since his untimely passing last year on April 21st 2016 at the age of fifty-seven, many of his fans have come together to celebrate his legacy. Previously, I had simply appreciated and enjoyed his music, but now I have more respect for his process. His repertoire spans from singer to songwriter to producer and even composer; the man has done it all. He released…

Twenty years later, and the past two Academy Awards have had all white actresses and actors nominated as best roles. Why is this? As of 2015, Henriksen, a published reporter from the AltPress database, stated “The majority of the Oscar voters are nearly 94 percent Caucasian and 77 percent male” (Henriksen). There is a need for a more diverse Academy. I interviewed Michael Green, a professor at Arizona State University that focuses on racism in Hollywood, and he explained “the Oscars are not the…

From there, his celebrity fame shot forward to win thirty-nine awards and over seventy nominations. Later in his acting career, Tom Cruise began showing odd behaviors that the paparazzi…
