HLS Movie Awards Nominees: Streaming Award

    

    Welcome back to HLS Awards Nominees this weeks award is a big one for 2020, the Streaming Award. 2020 was a long dark year for every industry movies included. So this award is highlighting which streamers did a great job at pumping out great movies all year. Now I watched nearly 100 movies that were released in 2020 but obviously I did not hit them all. A common misconception about 2020 is that it was a bad year of movie releases, that is just not true we just had to find them in different locations aside from the theater for most of 2020. 

    Many, MANY, movies that were supposed to be wide theater releases were pulled from the schedule in the hopes of making money in 2021 and beyond. BUT a lot were scooped up by streaming services and put out to the masses online. This list includes streamers who did that, and those who put out their own original movies. 

    How this award was graded is based off not just quantity or quality alone but a scoring system of those two factors together. For instance, Netflix has a significant higher number than the rest of the list but let us be honest  a very high percentage of Netflix movies are not...great. So as I stated before this list will only count movies that came out IN 2020.

    As always share this with your friends and hit subscribe at the top so you don't miss out on a single blog! Lets look at the contenders and some of their movies, I will be including both their IMDb score and their 2020 HLS Movie Rank. (all movies with a '?' have not had their ranking revealed)

HLS Movie Awards Nominees: Best Screenplay and Dialogue

Image
          Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Today we are going over the nominees for the Best Screenplay for the HLS Movie Awards!      Here is how I am grading them. I am not some high school English teacher  going through these scripts with a red pen marking them up, I am going through each movie and grading them off the writing and dialogue within the movie. This is especially dealing with logic and coherency. This does not mean a movie that is deep is thrown out for having confusing concepts, it means I graded them on how well they executed them and if they ultimately made sense. For example, I love Tenet but it is specifically did not make this list because it does spin too far of a web where the confusion is no longer easy to explain. Or Vivarium is wild and wacky plays with deep concepts of reality but ultimately is not coherently done within the movie. Movies that fall under this category are generally a safe bet to find their way to the very tops of my movie rankings because

WandaVision : Disney's First MCU TV Show - What to Expect and Theories

Image
      Disney+ launched November 12th 2019, and has exploded across the world and now has over 60 million subscribers world wide. With the launch of Disney+ the streaming platform put out "The Mandalorian" as the flagship tv show for the service. "The Mandalorian" was a gigantic hit success but has really been the only smash hit show from the streaming service, but that might soon change. One thing in common with The Mandalorian is that WandaVision will supposedly have a Disney Gallery behind the scenes show about it as well. "WandaVision" still has a secret/vague release date on "winter 2020"and is going to be the MCU's first Kevin Feige produced tv show that is directly tied into the MCU. Fans like myself that adored the Marvel Netflix shows and ABC's Agents of Shield / Agent Carter have been bummed for years at their very loose adjacency to the mainline MCU cannon. Somethings on the show referenced the movies or even had side characters
