Award Shows Explained

Are you lost when it comes to Award Shows?

Emmy, Grammy, Tony, Oscar, Golden Globe?

Are these terms foreign and confusing?

These is a breakdown of the more popular award shows. 

So 2015 Kicked off with the Golden Globes

Golden Globe

This award show is one big party. Actors and movie people literally get together to award each other and party.

Usually hosted by comedians this Award show is one of the better ones.  With categories including movies and TV shows this is my favorite show. 

These are some of my favorites looks from 2015

Next you have to Screen Actors Guild Awards or better known as the SAG awards and they are not all the popular but its fun to look at the results the next day. 
They award the best of film and television. 

You have the BAFTA awards which honestly is new to be but a lot of British actors are there so I recommend at least looking into it.  

Now we have the Grammy Awards. I don't care so much about this award show because it has a lot of musical performances and I'm not really into Pop or Rap or Miley Cyrus. 
Basically a lot of musicians at a concert for other famous musicians. 
And Kanye does something stupid every time. 

That brings us to the Academy Awards or what I like to call The Oscars.
Heads up if you do not thank the Academy whoever they are you will be banned for life.   
This show is fun even if Neil Patrick Harris is the host again. 
This show is for the best in Movies, Directors, Scores and other technical terms that are so boring there is an 
un-televised event for those winners. 
This show is actually not bad to watch. 

Next are the Tony awards. I LOVE this one because its for the best on stage. For actors, for musicals and plays and costumes! and they even preview some of the shows that win. I love Broadway so this is my favorite award show. Not a lot of household names but the music is fantastic.  

Lastly, We have the Emmy Awards. These are for excellence in Television so if you are a TV buff mostly your shows will be nominated. This is a fun show to watch. 

But my favorite way to watch any award show is to record it and watch it alone so I can fast forward commercials and acceptance speeches. It ridiculous but its me. 

Also fun fact if you win a Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony 
you are an EGOT and only 12 people have won this. 
One of whom is Audrey Hepburn.
