      Welcome back to HLS Movie Awards Nominees, this weeks nominees come are those in the Best Actor category! Now the HLS Movie Awards differ from other awards, we do not split the category into best supporting and best lead actor or actress. Best Actor is a singular award given to THE best performance of the year, and it does not matter if they appeared on screen for two hours or five minutes. The best performance is the best performance. This does not mean we cut back on nominees, we include as many as necessary. For instance, this nominee list contains twelve nominees and we do not put a cap or minimum to that number when selecting.     Now a couple further reminders. This is for the second annual HLS Movie Awards (on April 16th) and we have strict rule of we only deal with movies that come out within the year, therefore this list only includes movies that were released to the public IN 2020. This means movies like Minari, Nomadland and Judas and the Black ...

         It has been awhile since I have put out an official fully thought out Marvel Cinematic Universe ranking list so I have a few in mind I am going to do. This weeks first one is the simple overall movie ranking list, others I am going to do include, villain ranking, strength ranking, best fight scenes, etcetera. Let me know in the comments below what rankings I should do! This is an entire MCU ranking of Phases 1-3.     To be fair to the bottom few movies of the MCU I do not think any of the MCU movies are "bad" just a couple of the earlier ones were in the old vein of comic book movies before the MCU revolutionized the genre. Then there is Thor Dark World who does not have this excuse but is still a good movie it just suffers from trying to fit too much in the movie too quickly.     Please share this with your friends and hit subscribe at the top so you do not miss out on a single blog! If you think this ranking is wrong (it is not) le...

     Welcome to #HLSBets Top 25s! Expanding from just putting out consistent winners each week in College Football, I will now be letting you into this crazy mind of how I breakdown these teams each week with a top 25 with breakdown of each team. Why each team is ranked where and how that effects gambling. I will NOT be ranking teams just for show and I will tell you right now the UCFs, Cincys, Libertys and Coastals of the world will NEVER be in my top 4 without a much better schedule than they play. You play in the JV conferences earn respect by beating one or two of the big boys.     As I write this it is March 30th, Spring ball for most schools has not even started yet. There is a LOT to learn over the next few months so take this ranking with a Mount Vesuvius sized grain of salt, one injury or breakout player here or there can blow this list wide open.  So we are on the same page this ranking is based off a few things:     -Returning Star...

         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 qu...

         Welcome back to HLS Entertainments Movie Awards Nominees! This weeks nominations come from the Visuals and Cinematography category. This category is filled with movies with beautiful shots and beautiful imagery, but is also filled with movies with great visual effects, so the shots may they be in camera, practical or cgi they all count and all are beautiful!     As a reminder as well this category only counts for movies that were released IN 2020, so movies that came out after new years eve do not count, the beautiful movies like Nomadland will not count.

     Very quick late reaction to the official Oscar nominations. Please hit the subscribe button at the top to sign up for email reminders when blogs come out! Also follow me on Twitter @HaroldLStokes Doing this quick so it will go "category" "nominees" "reaction" Lets go Category : Best Picture 1. The Father 2. Judas and the Black Messiah 3. Mank 4. Minari 5. Nomadland 6. Promising Young Woman 7. Sound of Metal 8. The Trial of the Chicago 7     The two only real "surprises" here are, I am happy surprised that Promising Young Woman was nominated, incredible movie just is not top ten for me, and what in the hell does Another Round have to do to get this nomination. People being too lazy to read subtitles astounds me, you should have subtitles on 24/7 anyways in case you miss a word here or there, get over yourself or admit you are a slow reader and that is why you do not like them Category: Actor in a Leading Role Riz Ahmed - Sound of Metal Chadwi...
