BBT’s The Allie Awards
Posted by AllieB on January 16, 2014
If you’re reading this, then you already know: it’s Thursday.
Award season is upon us! I find the Oscars to be a little high-brow for my taste, so I’ve created my own awards: BBT’s The Allie Awards. Just like Lee Daniels did with The Butler, I had to add the BBT part as I did not want to be confused with (or sued by) the Allie Awards in Atlanta which honor excellence in event design, planning, and production. One of their awards is “Best Buffet” – I would’ve been really good at awarding that award. Award. And now, without further ado!
Best Use of Double Sided Tape: Amy Adams, American Hustle. By the end of the movie I wanted to climb into the screen and offer her a turtleneck
could she V any hotter….
Bleakest Film Location:Â The Prisoners. Conyers, GA is not so scenic.
Best Film Location: Hunger Games: Catching Fire. The Atlanta History Center, on the other hand, is very scenic.
Best Eastern European Accent: Steve Carrell, Despicable Me: 2. I love these movies.
Hottest Actress Who is 23, Australian, and Plays in an Ice Hockey League for Fun: Margot Robbie in Wolf of Wall Street (read that – I was all set to be like, “LAME” but she is a delight!)
oh hey
Best Soundtrack:Â American Hustle. It’s legit. I’ve always kind of wished I was around in the 70’s…I think it’s my decade-that-should-have-been.
In Memory of the One Who Kept Us Up At Night…RIP Paul Walker: You’re the hottest QB there ever was.
My awards > The Academy’s.
#NewYorkLife: On Sunday I needed to get from TriBeCa to the West Village, something that is very easily accomplished by hopping on the 1 train right by my apartment. Very easily accomplished unless, of course, it’s No Pants Day on the subway. The only thing worse than a bunch of weirdos riding the New York City subway without their pants is nothing; there is nothing worse. I wound up using a Citibike instead – in spite of strong headwinds, no gloves, and silly flats (I am my own hero) – and, just to be on the safe side, I took a cab home.*
*I have very strict rules about when I can and cannot take cabs. Said rules are constantly changing in accordance to weather, my outfit, time of day, and level of laziness, but they are rigid and ironclad once I choose to apply them.
#NewYorkLife: Yesterday I took a yoga class after work. Due to various variables, I had to bring all my stuff with me to the office. Super-sized satchel + gym bag + YOGA MAT makes for an exciting morning rush-hour commute – lots of slinging things around, and I know I drilled a few people in the peepers. Talk about losing friends and alienating people: I sort of felt like her. Namaste.
oh yes, and I had on a neck pillow #commutercomfort
Some housekeeping:Â I updated my Book List this week, and I removed my Atlanta Restaurant Guide. It was time, y’all. If anyone really wants to see a list of where to dine in Atlanta as of July 2012, by all means email me and I’ll send you a copy. Or you can look at it here.
Enjoy what I hope is a long weekend like mine. I’m looking at some chillaxin’, catching up on movies/tv, lbcha’s AND MHM’s bdizzles… Oh, woof – and SoulCycle. Gag me with a spoon. TGIT!
P.S. I’d be remiss to not share these “otherwordly” pics taken of NYC yesterday…this place is the coolest.

Great post. Did anyone else think it was weird Amy Adams wore a dress with a deep V to the Golden Globes? It sort of felt like I was still watching American Hustle… with a much worse soundtrack (Giuliana Elbows and the mani cam of stupidity)

I, too, thought was strange, especially since I’d seen the movie only three hours previous. deja vu all over again
I said
Did you still obey all traffic laws while CitiBiking in the freezing temps?
