HLS Entertainment

     Welcome to the first installment of the third annual HLS Movie Awards! For the past few years, we have watch as many films that came out that year as we can from all the big blockbusters to all the award season hopefuls and everything in between. This year the total number of 2021 films watched was 116. Today we are going to cover the worst of the worst and reveal the rankings of 116-101. If you are curious how this works here is a link to  last year's 92-81  and last year's  HLS Movie Awards . How were these movies judged? They were judged based on the quality of the film itself compared with the enjoyment or emotional reaction the movie gives the viewer. For better or worse for the reaction. We might have loved movies you hated, or hated ones you loved, let us know in the comments or on Twitter  @HLSEntrtainment  or my person Twitter  @HaroldLStokes .       Now like always with every movie I am going to be putting w...

      The Academy Awards were last night and How dare the Academy Awards honor an 83 year old legend who put on his best performance of his life. How dare they put best actor last? It's not like even the director of the show has no idea who wins each award until the envelopes are opened     How dare the Oscars put on a solid show that was honestly just too calm and boring. Okay enough of that dumb bit. I have reached the point that I now miss long Oscars. They MUST bring back a full time host next year, and I really think they should go with a stand up who is outside the world of mainstream acting.      This is going to be a long quick blog reacting to the winners! On the the winners! Best International Feature - Another Round     Absolutely adored this movie, honestly still pissed it did not get a Best Picture nomination Best Production Design - Mank     Fits, Mank was classic Oscar bait and had the Hollywood story with p...

     Welcome to the HLS Movie Awards! I love doing these post, and will miss doing the weekly nominee lists. I adored the conversations I have had with readers on  twitter about their favorite performances and movies of the year. Please never hold back on that I love it! Thank you all so much for helping make the HLS Movie Awards happen, and sending encouraging feedback.          This blog will be awarding the winners in theses categories in this order, Best Stunt Work, Best Film Score, Best Screenplay and Dialogue, Best Cinematography and Visuals, The Streaming Award, Best Actress, Best Actor, and then Best Movie of 2020. Remember to be nominated the film has to have released to the public between January 1st - December 31st 2020. This does not include film festival dates, only when it the movie is released to the public whether that be in theaters or online.     One last note, if you have enjoyed reading the nominee list and now ...

         Welcome back to HLS Entertainment! Today we are going through the Oscars categories one by one to project who will win each while we are going to be skipping the shorts and documentary categories. Zero disrespect to the artist involved in making the documentaries and short films.       This blog doubles as an #HLSBets blog as well because certain bookmakers will have Academy Awards betting, not all but some do. So in that vein of thinking, this blog is about who we THINK will will not who we WANT to win. Does not mean we do not want some of these outcomes but you can clearly see some discrepancies with these choices and HLS Movie Award nominees. Because HLS Movie Awards has no behind the scenes game at play to jockey for votes, BUT this is a call out to movies nominated you can definitely influence our voting with gifts and it is not too late to do so the HLS Movie Awards is this Friday April 16th!     Enough joking around ...

         Welcome back to HLS Movie Awards Nominees this weeks installment Best Picture, aka this years final Top Movies of 2020 Part 5 10-1. Though unfortunately the order of 10-1 is not revealed until next week during the HLS Movie Awards. This list like all nominee list is in alphabetical order, not a ranking.      We have ten wonderful movies that we would recommend to everyone to watch, from a variety of genres and tones. We truly believe these are the best movies released IN 2020 bar none. And remember the requirement that the movie has to have come out IN 2020 to be eligible.     Doing these rankings and nominees lists have been a blast again this year and they will be back next to recap 2021 movies again earlier next year. We actually have a new series coming out "The First Period Report", 2021 movie schedule has been broken down into three periods like hockey. The First Period is filled with Oscar nominees among ot...
