I watched some of the Golden Globes tonight & thought I'd make my own list of favorites. My picks are mostly based on hotness. I'm kinda shallow that way. Also these arent all super recent, just my favs as of late.
Hottest Australian to play an Australian
in a movie set in & convienently called Australia
(he really beat all that competition!)
Hugh Jackman
I just recently redboxed this & was pleasantly suprised. Hugh J has never really been a big favorite but I loved him in this as "The Drover" I couldnt stop saying "Drova" all day after seeing this. Oh, and isnt this little kid like, so ridiculously cute in it? 

"You sing to me, I learn 'em song"
Best Documentary
American Teen
It really was like a breakfast club-ish type documentary/un-rich version of Laguna Beach. It was entertaining, I liked it.
I wouldnt mind if there was a kid who looked like this when I was in high school....umm I mean there was a hotter one & his name was Steven! :)
Hands down, Best Comedic Chemistry
The guys from "The Hangover"
I dont think I have laughed so much and so hard in a movie, ever. The short awkward guy is the best.
I have to share my favorite part. You wont even think its funny if you havent seen it, but I laugh everytime I think of this part.
Do you know if the hotel is pager friendly?
What do you mean?
I'm not getting a sig' on my beeper.
I'm not sure.
Is there a payphone bank? Buncha payphones? Business.
Umm, there's a phone in your room...
That'll work.
Can I ask you another question?
Sure.
You probably get this a lot. This isn't the real Caesar's Palace is it?
What do you mean?
Did, umm... did Caesar live here?
No.
I didn't think so.
most attatched to this character
Henry in Time Travelers Wife
If you havent read the book & only saw the movie then you wont really get what i'm saying. But the author & Eric Bana do an amazing job of making you really really care about the character Henry. The book made me cry like crazy in the second half. But right in the beginning of the movie, from the part when Claire sees Henry in the library & she knows who he is so well, but he's never met her yet, I fell apart right there & through out the rest of it. This will probably be one of my favorite stories of all time and my favorite character in a book.
hottest human turned alien
Jake Sully in Avatar
Favorite scottish actor to youtube
Gerard Butler
I started you tubing him because I dont have Phantom of the Opera & I really wanted to watch some parts and then I watched a few of his interviews. You can really waste some time on you tube. All of his interviews are funny & entertaining. He's so jolly. Remember on the movie "PS I love You" when Hillary Swank is all "Why cant I be the cute carefree Irish guy who sings all the time?" Well that is the real Gerard Butler, except he's scottish. I did a book/movie club night with my friends and we read(before) & watched PS I love you. I was so appreciative of Steven after:) It's still too depressing for me to watch..but I found this cute part on you tube of when he sings Galway Girl to her. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhl21PYdmqw
(Wow, I really need to get a hobby that doesnt involve movies or youtube.)
Next month we're reading & watching Becoming Jane. Which made me want to watch the movie once again, or 3 times. Which led to me remembering my like for Tom Lefroy. (or James McAvoy)
Which leads me to my next category.
Favoritest actor ever!
James McAvoy
Remember when I blogged about how I never thought i'd think Mr. Tumnus was cute, except a mythical creature kind of cute?
I can safely say that he is my favorite person to look at in movies. If he's in a movie, I will watch it. And that's all there is to it!
loved him in Atonement.
So cute in Penelope
I have to watch this part a few times when I watch Becoming Jane.
Ok on to the girls,
here are my girl crushes of 2009
Anne Hathaway
Loved her in Bride Wars, Get Smart, & Becoming Jane (of course) She's classy, dont ya think?
Keira Knightly
She's always bugged me on the Pirate movies. But everything else, I love her in. She IS Elizabeth Bennet to me.
Zooey Deschanel
She's gorgeous, she has such a unique style, unique voice. Everything about her is unique. I loved her wacky songs in "Yes Man" And after watching 500 Days of Summer, I kept singing & was wanting to hear her sing that next line of "Shu shu shu shu shu shu sugartown" I love the outfit she's wearing here.

Hi! You don't know me...I just read your blog from time to time and thought I would tell you that you are so stinkin funny! I am loving your sense of humor! Great blog. Okay, that's all. Have a great day!
(I am Kari Stock's sis-in-law)
I love like half of the movies you listed!! I'll be renting the other half I've never seen asap! (and I watched becoming Jane last night just for the hottie James in it LOL)
I love your reviews and have to agree with Lyndsay that you're hilarious! I just found out that Zooey Deschanel is the sister to the main actress on Bones and it made me all giddy because I love them BOTH. I know, I'm a tard, but I love love love Zooey, she's so cute!
oh saweeny you're silly. You and your movies. I will agree with you on about 50 % of your picks. Some are great, but some are annoying. But who cares what I think, its not my picks is it?
So James McAvoy is my number one favorite male actor. And Penelope is my favorite movie of all time, not just because he's in it (although that is a main factor) but also the set design and Penelope's outfits are to die for. Rob and I allow each other one famous crush and James McAvoy is mine!
As for 500 days of Summer, it is also on my top fave list. I adore Zooey Deschanel!! Her style in that movie is absolutely to die for. If I had all the money I wanted to spend on clothes, she's exactly how I would dress. Oh, and I seriously considered growing out my hair after that movie. Her's is gorgeous. I still haven't decided if I could pull it off, but I'm still really thinking about it.
This may have been the longest comment I think I've ever written. Consider yourself lucky.
wow I have seen like 3 of those movies, I need to get with it! I was just going to say that about Tiffany.. long comment! (;
Thank you for this post. You have always been quite the movie guru!!
I found your blog off of Kendyl's and now I need to go watch some movies. Such a fan of so many of these actors, but I need to catch up. And I've been looking for a good book to read, so now I need to go get the Time Traveler's Wife pronto. I'm getting pretty excited about all of this.
