GOLDEN (A) AWARDS 2013 - THEATRE

Last week we announced the winners of our Golden (A) awards in Film and Television, with acclaimed independent critical darling Beasts of the Southern Wild taking home Best Film and CIA thriller Homeland being selected as Best Television Series.

We now turn our attention the very finest in theatre, taking into consideration the wealth of theatre productions both West End-based and touring in 2012. Any performances seen in early 2013 (for instance Book of Mormon, Priscilla: Queen of the Desert the Musical, Cats and The Rocky Horror Show) will all be in contention for next years awards and were too late to be considered for this years awards (2012 performances only!).

GOLDEN (A) AWARD WINNERS 2013 - FILM AND TELEVISION

It's been quite a year for us here at (A)musings - this time last year this blog was operating as purely a personal blog for editor Kyle's own personal ruminations and ramblings on the world and works of Film and Media, and beginning last April it has really bloomed into an active, press-accredited journalism venture which, amongst many highlights, has affiliated with major film studios and distributors such as Walt Disney Motion Picture Studios UK and Universal NBC, worked with a range of the top-tier Film, Theatre and Media PR companies and agencies nationwide, been accredited for and attended the 56th BFI London Film Festival and been invited to such prestigious events as the worldwide premiere of Les Miserables in London, the Royal Film Performance and London Film Premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey in the presence of Prince William, Sir Peter Jackson and the films cast and crew, and most recently the London opening night premiere of the record-breaking US musical smash hit The Book of Mormon.

(A)MUSINGS OSCAR PREDICTIONS 2013

It's that time of year again when Hollywood rolls out the glitz and glamour for the most prestigious date on the entertainment calendar - it's Oscar time!

As with last year, Editor/Founder Kyle Pedley presents his predictions on who will and won't be going home empty handed when the ceremony kicks off later this evening.
