Entertainment Review!

My pick of the best in 2001

 

TV!

Best Programme

Roswell. After impressing me with the first series, Season 2 only got better!

Best New Series

Band of Brothers. The Best mini-series of the years as well as one of the best War series of all time!

Best Actor

Bender, Futurama. He was consistently funny and made Bart Simpson seem like an Amateur!

Best Actress

Majandra Delphino Roswell Put the best performance in the series (although it was close with the rest of the female cast)

Best Ensemble Cast

My Family The best British sitcom in a while! Robert Lindsay and Zoe Wanamaker head the cast.

 

 

Movies

In general 2001 was a bit of a stinker, until the last two months!

Best Movie

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings,

It was either this of Harry Potter! LOTR is classic film making at it's best the best and (sorry George Lucas) the new marker of how the family epic should be done!

Best Actor

Robbie Coltrane his performance as Hagrid in Harry Potter was so outstanding that he should (if there is any justice) become more of an A-list actor!

Best Actress

Cameron Diaz for a second year running, only this time for Shrek!

Best Supporting Actor

Jason Lee for his performance as both Brodie and Banky in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

Best Supporting Actress

Carrie Fisher Jay and Silent Bob strike Back. Okay, I'll admit it I am biased!

Icon of the Year

Seann William Scott The Stiffmeister made American Pie 2

Best Original Song

Jay's Chant 2001- Jason Mewes Crap years for the OST and Jay's Chant is the best of a bad bunch!

Music

Artist

Album

God Bless the Go-Go's - Go-Go's Not only my album of the year but the best one so far this century!

Single

I'll take the Rain - REM. Best single not to go Top 40 in the UK!

Video

Imitation of Life - REM An incredible music video that broke every mold!
