I Can't Wait (the 2011 edition)

2010 is already finished and done with and it is time to look ahead to see what wonders await us. Or rather, for what wonders are we willing to wait. Thanks to the all mighty Internet I compiled a list of 94 films to be released (in principle) in 2011 that I intend to see sooner or later. Out of those 94 films, I have chosen the 20 I am anticipating the most. And here they are:

The Noah Castle Film Awards (Part II: Special Awards Part II)

The second part of the Special Awards are already on the main page. And a part of the anatomy of a British actress has won an award... Nope, not the boobs, sorry. But speaking of boobs and other arousing things, here we have the second part of the candidates for the Sex-On-A-Stick award!

Aaron Eckhart is a Filf (Milf sounds better) in Rabbit Hole. Well, he no longer has a son, so strictly speaking (not really) that disqualifies him as a father so he's just hot. Period. Very, very sexy indeed. There's something about his face that conveys safety and warmth...

Armie Hammer is the gift that keeps on giving. 1) He has a beautiful muscular body. 2) He has a really beautiful face. 3) He has a voice that melts underwear away. 4) In The Social Network there's two of them!!

Mila Kunis plays Lily in Black Swan. Mila Kunis is insanely hot from an objective point of view. I mean, only seeing her in pictures you can see she has a great body and a very sensual face. But Lily's attitude is pure sex. Everything she does is incredibly enticing. From dancing like a pro (a professional ballerina, I mean) to lusciously eating a hamburger all she does is sex, sex, sex.

Stephen Dorff's daughter in Somewhere is alive so he is officially a Filf! Stephen Dorff is not exactly very famous but she conveys that in the film perfectly. And fame is very exciting! Plus, he has a great body (thank you Sofia for all the shower scenes) and that scruffy sexy look...

Ok, so this is slightly illegal. Josh Hutcherson was not yet eighteen when he worked in The Kids Are All Right. Even worse, he plays a fifteen-year-old. But what can we do if he plays a hot fifteen-year-old? Well, admire him from a distance lest we should star in a new production of Lolita called Lolito...

Colin Farrell's character in The Way Back must smell pretty badly. But he is very sexy, especially when his hair is a little longer... I thought that, next to Saoirse's character, his was the most interesting. So interesting that he could do a spin-off in which he finds that he has to have sex with a lot of men in order to be free or whatever the hell he was doing during the film!

Love and Other Drugs was quite bland. But it had vast amounts of sex and nudity. And if that nudity is courtesy of Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal I can only say thank you. Thank you to whoever wrote that mess. You should have an Oscar! (not really)

And this is the end for the 2010 sexy people... In a few days I will announce the winner. There are more awards to come (acting and the BIG ones) and those will have winners too but the Special Awards on the main page will remain as they are... No winners and losers I mean, sometimes it's hard to pick a winner when only one film competes! 

Coming soon: The BIG Awards nominations (I'm leaving Acting for the end...)

When Awards Get Predictable...

 ...dresses are always there! Sidenote: I am so not complaining about the awards because for the most part (Glee over Modern Family, seriously?) they were very much fair and awesome. And now let's talk dresses... Best ones, specifically.

HONORABLE MENTIONS (Eco-friendly: Think Green)

Mila Kunis (Honorable Mention)

Elisabeth Moss (Honorable Mention)

Both Honorable Mentions wore green and both were winners (spiritually, at least). I still haven't seen Black Swan (even though earlier today I cried hearing an interview with Aronofsky) so I can't say about Mila but Elisabeth was robbed. Her work in Mad Men's fourth season has been her best so far. And her previous work was already perfect! I'm a little glad for Katey Sagal but only because Ed O'Neill was happy for her...

#10. Julianne Moore

10. Julianne Moore in Lanvin.

Julianne Moore was so cool in this hot pink. And she was so happy when Annette won... Those two should be lesbians in real life and adopt another couple of should-be lesbians (Amanda Seyfried and Ellen Page) [Theory adapted from Deivith's twisted mind]

#9 Angelina Jolie

9. Angelina Jolie.

No offense to Mila and Elisabeth but this is wearing green. She was so beautiful and so Goddess-like. I love how she spent the gala cuddling with Brad and applying lip-gloss. It's like she has taken a page from the Kate Winslet book and she wants to convince us that she is NORMAL and that she has done her own make-up.

#8 Sofía Vergara

8. Sofia Vergara.

SHE WAS ROBBED. She was. God knows I love Lynch's work but Gloria is beyond goodness. And on top of it she makes it look effortless. The episode where she learnt to bike was pure gold "What if someone tries to grab me?". O woe, I hope she gets the Emmy in August... Anyway, the dress fitted her like a glove in all her "volumptuosity" and the color was so bold and flattering...

#6 & #7 Heather Morris and Naya Rivera

Heather Morris

Naya Rivera

Not only were they incredibly beautiful but also matched each other! If in one season on Glee they have gone from backup dancers to fan-favorites these two girls will win Oscars in about five years. That, or worldwide domination... And they are so slender...

#5 Olivia Wilde

5. Olivia Wilde in Marchesa.

I don't like Olivia Wilde much (even though she was very nice in Tron and she played a lesbian in O.C. [I've just realized that excepting Sofía every woman up to now has played a lesbian or a bisexual; am I sensing a theme?]) but this dress definitely makes my esteem for her grow. I love it when not-so-famous people really commit to a dress. It's like they're saying: "I might be a boring character in boring House but look at my dress, I could be a star" and I like that, yes, I do...

#4 Scarlett Johansson

4. Scarlett Johansson.

I really don't like Scarlett Johansson but when she appeared on the red carpet last night both my boyfriend and I went "OHMYGODSHELOOKSSOGOOD!!" And she did. She has lost some weight and it is good because now her boobs are smaller than her head, something quite tasteful if you like to display them like on a window-shop (only exception to the rule: Christina Hendricks, of course). It may be related to the divorce but if it was Ryan who left her he must be regretting it now (specially if the rumors are true and he is in fact doing the nasty with Sandra Bullock who since yesterday is to be known as Latoya Jackson's lost twin). And the hair... So dramatic. I love it!

Scarlett's amazing hair

#3 Emma Stone

3. Emma Stone in Calvin Klein.

Blonde hair looks so good on her (don't misinterpret me, she is freakingly beautiful as a redhead), it makes her look older and more sophisticated... And that dress. So simple and yet so effective. It looks seamless like the dress Lisa Marie Presley wears in Mars Attacks! This girl (Emma, not Lisa Marie) sure does know how to become a star. Question: Wouldn't it be great if she got the fifth spot in the Oscars? Answer: Yes, it would be!

#2 Anne Hathaway

2. Anne Hathaway in Armani Privé.

It would also be extremely cool that the fifth spot went to Anne. Ok, the film is not very good but she is so devilishly charming. She is the new Amy Adams only with extra charisma. And I don't think she has ever been as chic and beautiful as she was last night. This 70s vibe totally suits her, in my opinion better than the princess thing though she is lovely as well in that mode (remember the Oscars '08: "Frank Langella was sitting right next to me"). I can't wait to see her host the Oscars. And I've just read that she's going to be in Glee. Which is awesome because she sings soooo well and that's why she should sing at the Oscars because she does it well... Duh!

#1 January Jones

1. January Jones in Versace.

January Jones won't go for second best, baby. She won't settle with being the most mesmerizingly beautiful woman (make that human being [make that being in general]) on the Universe and in every possible alternate universe. No. She has to be a killer dresser as well. Not to mention the creator of one of the most complex and accomplished characters ever in the history of the audiovisual. But going back to the clothes... She is such an amazing dresser, always thinking outside the box. I remember being completely obsessed with her outfit at the Met Gala (the Superheroes one)... And this red Versace (she is the new face) is perfection. It is so risky and yet she wears it with more ease than what I can have when wearing my pajamas. It's like she was born to wear this dress, and let's face it, the dress is amazingly beautiful in all its detail but without January's attitude it would not be the same. And what about her face? I could be looking at it forever... It is art!

Isn't she gorgeous?
