It’s Award Season!
Award season is just beginning and the nominees for many
shows such as the SAG Awards and the Grammy’s have been releases recently.
Another huge award show just published the nominees, the Golden Globes. This is
the 72nd annual Golden Globe Award.
The nominees range from TV to film. An article that ABC News
published listed all of the men, women, films and TV shows that got
nominations. A lot of big names that we all know have been nominated. Some
examples of actors and actresses nominated are Jennifer Aniston, Steve Carell,
Mark Ruffalo and Emma Stone. Some movies that are also listed are The Lego
Movie, Into the Woods and The Theory of Everything. In TV The Good Wife scored many
nominations along with Orange Is the New Black along with many more.
The award ceremony will be held on January 11, 2015 and Amy
Poehler and Tina Fey are returning as the hosts for the huge event where many
stars will make appearances.
The plans have been set for weeks for the Duke and Duchess
to arrive in the United States, more specifically New York City. Earlier this
week Prince William and Kate took a commercial flight and touched down in NYC
for a three day visit. The British
ambassador to the United States, Sir Peter Westmacott said, “It’’s important
for us to ensure they have a great time.” The Royals being in New York is a
very big deal, people on social media have joked that their visit will “put New
York on the map”.
While in New York, the Duke and Duchess were very busy. They
went to many events and receptions during their visit. Kate went to visit
Northside on Monday while Prince William went to meet with President Obama and
speak at the World Bank. The two also attended a Brooklyn Nets game at the
Barclays Center. They also did press appearances and took a helicopter tour of
the city. The Royals were all over the place while they were briefly in the
city.
The Duke and Duchess’s stay in the states was short but was
very important. They are concerned the biggest ‘celebrities’ that have stayed
in the city and the ones that brought the most attention to New York.
3. More than One Person of the Year?
Time Magazine has
announced their Person of the Year. The annual issues has five covers this year
to honor Ebola fights who have worked on the ground in West Africa to try and
put an end to the disease’s outbreak.
The first person honored is a man, Dr. Jerry Brown. He is a
Liberian surgeon who turned his hospital’s chapel into one of the country’s
Ebola treatment center. Another honoree is Salame Karwah who is an Ebola
survivor who lost both of her parents to the disease. One of the other people
being on the cover is Foday Gallah, an ambulance supervisor and Ebola survivor
in Monrovia. The last two honorees are Americans, Dr. Kent Brantly and Ella
Watson-Stryker. Ella is an American health educator who has been helping to try
to defeat the epidemic over the last year in West Africa. Kent was the first
American to become infected by Ebola.
Time editor Nancy
Gibbs explained the decision to make these particular people be on the cover of
such a popular issue of the magazine. She said, “The rest of the world can
sleep at night because a group of men and women are willing to stand and fight.”
These men and women were not given this honor, they earned it because they
battled the disease and went through a tremendous amount of struggles.
