Oscars 2016 Acting Nominations: Who will bring home the Gold?

88th Academy Awards Acting Nominees


 If you were nominated in one of the Acting categories  in the Academy Awards, what kind of emotions would you have? Will you be happy, excited, stressed-out, nervous, or scared?

 With the 88th Academy Awards just a few days away, I can only imagine how the Acting nominees are feeling right now. I wouldn't have been able to sleep or eat or even breath because of the anticipation. 

 There is a total of 20 nominees for the following categories, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress.

 Eight of those actors are first-time nominees. Sunday's event will be a first for Bryan Cranston, Charlotte Rampling, Brie Larson, Alicia Vikander, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rachel McAdams, Mark Rylance, and Tom Hardy.

 Between all of the nominees, there has been a total of 51 nominations. Leonardo diCaprio has earned 5 Acting nominations and 1 nomination as a Producer. Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet has 7 Acting nominations each.

Out of the 20 actors nominated, 10 are from various nationalities. Saoirse Ronan is the daughter of Irish immigrants who lived in New York where she was born. She actually was born in Brooklyn which is also the name of her nominated movie.

 There are six nominees who won a total of seven Oscars with Cate Blanchett winning 2 of those (The Aviator and Blue Jasmine). Matt Damon's win is not for an Acting Award but for his Original Screenplay for "Good Will Hunting". Eddie Redmayne won his first during last year's Academy Awards.

 Sylvester Stallone's nod for Best Supporting Actor (Creed) is 39 years after his 2 nominations for the 1977 movie, Rocky. And the best thing about all of his nominations --- he's playing the same character, Rocky Balboa.

 Michael Fassbender who is nominated for his turn as Steve Jobs and Alicia Vikander, Best Supporting Nominee for "The Danish Girl, are currently dating and my guess is that they will be going to the Awards Night together.

 Don't forget to tune in on February 28, 7 pm (ET)|4 pm (PT) and cheer for your favorites.

It will also be telecast internationally and can be seen through live streaming as well.

Best Actor Nominees: Leonardo diCaprio (The Revenant), Matt Damon (The Martian), Eddie Redmayne (The Danish Girl), Michael Fassbender (Steve Jobs), and Bryan Cranston (Trumbo)





Best Actress Nominees: Brie Larson (Room), Jennifer Lawrence (Joy), Charlotte Rampling (45 years), Cate Blanchett (Carol), and Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn)





Best Supporting Actress Nominees: Rooney Mara (Carol), Rachel McAdams (Spotlight), Alicia Vikander (The Danish Girl), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Hateful Eight), and Kate Winslet (Steve Jobs)




Best Supporting Actor Nominees: Mark Ruffalo (Spotlight), Mark Rylance (Bridge of Spies), Tom Hardy (The Revenant), Sylvester Stallone (Creed), and Christian Bale (The Big Short)

18 'Beki' Words to Add to Your Vocabulary

Gambar
The Philippines is truly a diverse country. Aside from having thousands of islands, fifty different ways to cook adobo, we also have hundreds of languages and dialects. Filipinos are also innovative. One of the popular lingo or slang that came about during the 20th Century is known as Swardspeak or Beki. The Philippine Gay lingo is built upon words, expressions, and existing languages (local and foreign). It's full of allusion to popular culture, celebrities, places, and even events. Bekispeak is unique and shows Filipino ingenuity and adaptability to culture.  In honor of Pride Month, one LGBT Advocate came up with a compilation of Beki words to help those who would like to learn the lingo.  I'd like to thank my brother, Angelo, for coming up with this helpful collection. I've always wanted to learn a new language.  Let the Beksionary be your guide. Here are 18 Beki words to add to your growing vocabulary.  1. Chanda Romero = Tiyan 2. Ermingarde / Gardo Versoza = Guard 3.

Colon Street's Forgotten Heritage Markers

C olon Street in Cebu City has the distinction of being known as the oldest street in the Philippines. Throughout its more than 400 years of existence, Colon has been the center of trade, fame, prominence and even notoriety. Colon Street Heritage Marker 2001 Named after the famed Genovese navigator and explorer, Cristobal Colon or Christopher Columbus, Colon street appeals to tourists and locals alike. Bargain shopping and deals abound the various establishments that surround the street. Its historical and commercial value cannot be surpassed. Similar to going to Quiapo or Divisoria or Recto, one has to be on high alert and aware of everything that's going on around you. It doesn't help that the years of neglect and the "I don't care" attitude added to the atmosphere of grittiness and griminess that exudes from Colon. Last Friday, I was doing research for an article I was planning to write about Colon when I came across a couple of posts pertaining to Heritage Ma

21 Writers and Poets Who Died Tragically

The tortured genius. The starving artist. The antisocial behavior. The free spirit. The wandering soul. The lost generation. When we hear or read these descriptions, who comes to mind? Our answers will all be the same --- the writer, the poet, the author. Literary artists who live by the power of their words; the might of their pen. But I'm not here to talk about the quirks of their behavior or the majesty of their talent rather the tragedy that befell these masters of the written word that silenced their emotions and souls. One of my favorite quotes from the campy movie, The Mummy, "Death is just a beginning" kept coming to mind when I was researching for this blog topic. Death did not diminish the popularity of these artists but rather enhanced it; out of curiosity, created new audiences to their writings.  Suicide, Accidents, Depression, Alcoholism, Debilitating illness, these seem to be great plot ideas for a novel. But the reality is stranger than fiction; the lives
