'They're actors, darling.'
I am a geek. A film junkie. I am aware of this. I devote so much of my life to watching movies, deciphering movies, then showering the people involved with the movies with much adoration. At the moment, I am obsessed over Young Hollywood. Not those awful ‘It’ girls, but the current slew of 20-something year olds who are so talented its scary. There hasn’t been such a great group of actors in a while. Here are my top 5.
Emile Hirsch.
You know him from: The Girl Next Door, Alpha Dog, Into The Wild.
Should have won an award for: Into The Wild.
Is brilliant because: even at his age he is already Oscar-worthy.
Ryan Gosling.
You know him from: The Notebook, unfortunately.
Should have won an award for: Half Nelson.
Is brilliant because: he works so hard. Goes so far with his research and personal characterisation that he even gets fired for it.
Paul Dano.
You know him from: The Girl Next Door, Little Miss Sunshine, Ballad of Jack and Rose, There Will Be Blood.
Should have won an award for: Fuck, everything. His last few films have all been award worthy.
Is brilliant because: he’s a transformer. Plays a different person in every role. Ironically, he could easily be on par with someone like Daniel Day Lewis in 20 years time.
Shia LaBeouf.
You know him from: Even Stevens.
Should have won an award for: Disturbia. Anyone else would have come off as an interfering perve in that role.
Is brilliant because: he shed the Disney shell. Has serious likeability and an effortless acting talent.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
You know him from: 3rd Rock From the Sun, 10 Things I Hate About You.
Should have won an award for: The Lookout, Brick, Mysterious Skin. 3 of my favourite films and he’s been in them all.
Is brilliant because: he shys away from blockbusters, instead choosing to help make incredible indies.
Emile Hirsch.

Eyes are more oval shaped, actually.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind people that just because a song is catchy, this does not automatically make it GOOD. The Feeling can actually go fuck themselves. And One Night Only, for that matter. The Enemy, too.

Ta'ra, MySpace
Facebook has taken over. MySpace, according to Katy, is well and truly dead. So I'm blogging here again.
