Award Shows And Smallville



I decided to post my thoughts about award shows. I think I've posted about it before, but I'm going to again. With all the crazy stuff going on with The Academy Awards show and all the diversity crap, I've been thinking about stuff. I don't think the problem with the Academy Awards is diversity, but instead I think it's about who and what they choose who can win the awards. There are how many great actors and actresses that have never won or even been nominated for an award. And there are tons of great movies as well. It seems to me that the same people get nominated year after year and most of the movies are movies that I've never even heard of before the award shows start coming on.
There are not a lot of movies that I've loved that have won the best picture award. Most of the movies that do win are movies that I would not go to if someone paid me to go to them or I will go and see them once, but I will never watch them again. There have been a lot of great science fiction and horror movies over the years, but the Academy doesn't even consider them because they probably think they are crap and not artistic enough. That's another thing. I personally go to the movies to be entertained. I do not go to the movies to see art. I love Leonardo Dicaprio and the only movies I've really loved him in have been, The Titanic, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, Marvin's Room and The Man In The Iron Mask. A lot of the movies he has been in, I have not even seen, nor will I probably ever see them. I don't care for those kinds of movies. I saw The Revenant and I thought it was the most gross movie I've ever seen and I doubt I will ever watch it again. Do I think Leonardo deserves an award for it? Sure. I think all kinds of actors and actresses deserve awards for all kinds of shows, but that doesn't mean they will ever get one. I just know that if I was ever lucky enough to have been an actress, then the best award that I could think of receiving would be that people loved the movies I was in. I wouldn't care if I won some stupid trophy that would just collect dust. It would be nice to know that even after I died, that people still watched and loved the movies or shows I was in and that would be the greatest award ever.
Well enough about that and on to Smallville. Talking about awards, did Smallville ever win any or did Tom Welling for his portrayal of Superman. I know I love Smallville and Tom Welling and I'm so happy that I have ten wonderful seasons of this show to watch. I loved the show when it first aired on TV and I still love it today. I'm glad that Tom Welling joined Facebook. It was nice seeing that pic of him and Michael Rosenbaum. After seeing it I decided to start watching Smallville again while I was waiting for my other shows to start back up again. It seems like it's been forever since Gotham, Once Upon A Time and The Voice have been on. I can't wait to see them again, but now other shows are off and during that time I can watch Smallville. I've been depressed lately and it has helped to watch this show again. Just seeing Tom Welling smile makes me smile and feel good. I loved all the characters that came and went on the show and I loved this show to the very end. Nothing changed my feelings for any of the characters. I loved Clark and Lana together, but I never disliked Lois. I love how the writers made all the characters three dimensional and told how all of them were feeling and what was going on with them. My favorite two episodes will always be the one where Jonathan died that was also the 100th episode and the one where Lana married Lex. I just loved all the drama and I loved when they had songs on and you saw the characters and they did not even have to say a word, but so much was conveyed just by the looks on their faces.
One last thing before I'm done. It's sad to me still that Supernatural did not last the test of time and right now I actually don't like any characters on the show. I've even actually hated certain characters and I've hated certain episodes. I could watch every season and every episode of Smallville and love every one. That's the test of a great show. I just wish that Supernatural could have been a show that I loved until the end. The writers, fans and whoever screwed that up and now sometimes I can't even stand to look at the show, let alone pics of the show or Jared and Jensen.
Well that's it for now.
