Grammy Awards Favorite Moments

This year the Grammys were filled with great performances and collaborations. Some of the performances were filled with high energy while other performances slowed down the pace of the show, which made the Grammys feel really long. But anyway here are my favorite moments from the show.


During the first hour, Robin Thicke and Chicago performed a medley. I love the Grammys especially when different generations of artists take the stage together and perform.  Take a look at the video.

My next favorite collaboration was with Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar. Imagine Dragons are such great performers, I mentioned them in my American Music Awards post as well. This performance heightened the energy, Taylor Swift was the first one out of her seat dancing. Well she was dancing most of the night anyway. Check out their performance below. 


My next favorite moment is when Giuliana Rancic interviewed Kevin Hart on the red carpet. Such a hilarious interview, which made up for the awkward height difference between them.

Lastly, I loved Daft Punk, Pharrell, and Stevie Wonder all on stage performing "Get Lucky." The camera panned to the audience and every celebrity was dancing and having a great time.


Thanks for reading! Next up The Oscars!

SAG Awards Favorite Moments


The 20th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards took on place on Saturday January 18. Here are some of my favorite moments from the telecast.

Over all I thought all the acceptance speeches were funny, smart, and well thought. My favorite speech of the night had to have been from Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who won for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series. Check out the video.


My next favorite moment of the night was when Bryan Cranston brought up Anna Gunn's bag, which was embroidered with the periodic table logo from "Breaking Bad, to accept his speech for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series. Check out the video below too.

Golden Globes Favorite Moments

There were so many memorable moments from The Golden Globes last night. From the red carpet to the ceremony here are my favorite moments:

Ryan Seacrest's Instagram 
Jennifer Lawrence is just so real and loves to have fun, which is why everyone loves her. Her interview with Ryan Seacrest was all over the place but in a good way. First she was awkwardly and creepily walking up the stairs during Taylor Swift's interview. Then she comes up behind her saying she was going to push her down the stairs! Like what is going on?! Then a piece of her jewelry comes flying off. Please continue to be yourself J. Law.

My next moment is Leonardo Dicaprio winning for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. I think this could be the year he finally wins an Oscar. We'll see when the nominations are announced this Thursday and the when the Oscars air March 2.

I started watching Breaking Bad a few months ago and its such a great show, so I was happy that the show won for Best TV Series Drama. But my favorite moment was when Aaron Paul went to the mic after the creator of the show Vince Gilligan spoke, and all he said was "yeah b*tch!" That was it.

People's Choice Awards Favorite Moments

Award show season is pretty much in full swing now! The People's Choice Awards were held on Wednesday January 8 and if you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw your timeline flooded with PCA votes back in November and a part of December. This show is nice because it's one of the very few award shows where the people get to choose who gets nominated and who wins. Here are some of my favorite moments from the show.

Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder accepting their award for Favorite On-Screen Chemistry was great. It started off a little awkward then went to not so awkward to funny, you know what mean?

Another funny moment was when Ellen DeGeneres tried accepting Justin Timberlake's award with him.

An excellent moment was when actress, singer, and fellow Chicagoan Jennifer Hudson won for Favorite Humanitarian. She has been doing incredible work with the Julian D. King Gift Foundation she co-founded with her sister Julia Hudson. I thought her speech was very emotional and compelling. For more about the foundation check out their Facebook  page.

Overall I thought that Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs did an great job hosting. I have only watched maybe one episode of their show "2 Broke Girls" I knew they were quite hilarious but was not sure how it was going to go. I loved the jokes they made every time they introduced a presenter, that was probably my favorite.

Next up Golden Globes!
