A couple of good men
Wed, 26/05/2010 - 21:51 by Harry Bow

All the big names were the the Royal Albert Hall for the National Movie Awards tonight - Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Gwyneth Paltrow, Chris Rock, Orlando Bloom, Konnie Huq, Claudia Winkleman, Michelle Ryan and Chipmunk...

Here's the list of winners - the bottom award biroed in after the event organisers found out that Cruise was in London for the night.

  • Most Anticipated Movie Of The Summer: The Twilight Saga: Eclipse 
  • Action/Thriller: Sherlock Holmes 
  • Family: Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince 
  • Breakthrough Movie: The Time Traveler's Wife
  • Fantasy:The Twilight Saga: New Moon 
  • Performance Of The Year: Robert Pattinson 
  • Special Recognition Award: Harry Potter
  • Screen Icon: Tom Cruise 

If only we had an Empire magazine subscription, we might have as superior film knowledge as the judges too.

Also in attendance was Simon Pegg (dressed as Chris Evans), Aaron Johnson and his mum, Chris Noth (minus the old prozzies) and Noel Clarke, who will be wishing he could trade in his BAFTA for one of the highly acclaimed National Movie Award gongs. 

Enough to make you feel bad for Cruise really - even RPattz didn't show, and the whole event was sponsored by his fan club. At least robot bride Holmes was happy.

  • Haha! AGREED! Best/worse line of that movie, "Hold on tight spider monkey." Completely killed the vampire lore. Totally irreverent toward Bram Stoker and his creation. However, I suppose if you can pull on the heartstrings of 13 year old girls you get an award. Just ask these cockatoos.

  • I appreciate the fact that she may be the fucking DAHLING of the film-maker cool pack, but I find her a bit fucking self-absorbed and smug for her own good. It's one thing making some movie about that egotist Scouser twat Lennon, but it's quite another fucking a boy who looks about 12. A bloke doing the same in reverse would be castigated and routinely mocked for it, right, Roman?

  • She's more Stepford Wife than cyborg, that's for fuckin sure

  • Tom Cruise is a fucking cunt. *message ends*

  • Katie's not looking so good.
    When a woman stops trying, it's usually cos she wants her fella to fuck off. And can you blame Ms Holmes? What woman in her right mind could get wet thinking about shagging Tom Cruise? He's like those Lollypop Kids in the Wizard of Oz.

  • Depends which Taj Mahal we're talking about here.
    The one on Deptford High Street, post recession, IS already a snooker hall.

  • Teenaged girls, fucking loads of them all over the world, are so completely obsessed with the 'Twilight' shagging a vampire, being the centre of a dangerous man/boy's life phenomenon that they actually believe Robert Pattinson is 'Edward' and they are spending millions on seeing the films and buying the related merchandise. (If that lad had a pound for every pre-pubescent bit of girl frottage he's inspired he could probably buy the Taj Mahal and make it into a snooker club). He is worth a lot - A LOT - of money to the industry and he is being rewarded accordingly. It's business.

  • I really don't understand this Robert Pattinson thing, I mean the guy is plain at best, at worst he is full on ugly. Add to this that the cast of Hollyoaks could sneer at his acting ability and it does make me question how he manages to pick up any awards

    he has made four shite films..... Arnie made loads of them but he didn't get that many accolades.

  • I fear that, much like Madonna and Baby Jesus, either the novelty of fucking someone old enough to be your Mum will ebb away, or, more likely, the novelty of the pretty boy looks will wear off and the women will get bored of playing mummy to their partners.

  • It'll be the precise moment that his child points at it's mother and says 'granny'.

  • Is it just me who thinks that at some point (inside the next 2 years I reckon) that lad is gonna go "WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING ???" and fuck off to as fast a little legs can carry him ?

    The Rev Jesse Custer Thu, 27/05/2010 - 10:02
  • Is Sam Taylor wood turning her (literal) 'babyfather' into some sort of conceptual artwork? He is increasingly resembling The Laughing Cavalier, without the charisma.

  • Who is this Chimpmunk fellow and why is he dressed like a Serbian ?

    The Rev Jesse Custer Thu, 27/05/2010 - 08:22
  • Breakthrough, as in 'Now available on DVD and Blu-ray".

  • Do poor Tom some charity, whom the foul fiend vexes.

  • In what sense was the Time TRaveler's Wife a breakthrough movie? The director directed the awful Flightplan and Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana are both fairly well-known. Breakthrough, my arse.

  • Caught the last twenty minutes or so of this shitefest getting in from the cinema, I thought it was an award ceremony for movie trailers.

    dandyboy Thu, 27/05/2010 - 00:08
  • Did Tom Cruise hand out pamphlets to all to join the ScieOrg? or did he do one of his many speeches regarding Scientology as the greatest religeon ever known to man (I think not) I hope no one bought there children because apparently they get them as young as they can. Maybe surry wasnt there cause she was making scientology CDs?

    dancingworm Wed, 26/05/2010 - 23:09
  • Look at Katie Holmes. Even Tom looks scared of her. She's an ambition machine and he's only little. He started out thinking he was in charge then she started making him put it in her even though he's a lovely gay and it's completely broken him. I'll bet she gives him a backhand across the face now if he speaks without putting his hand up. (In the air! Dirty buggers)

    Urfugginjokin Wed, 26/05/2010 - 22:48
  • Who keeps giving Twilight awards? It's fucking awful. Granted, the films are better than the books (which measure on the Crap scale somewhere between a Daily Mail article and Courtney Love typing with her elbows), but still....
