2015 Brit Awards!

Every year I look forward to the Brit Awards because they are one of my favourite nights of the year and 2015's were no different. The evening was live from the o2 Arena in London and we saw a whole array of superb celebrities inside the building on our television screens. The wonderful Ant & Dec hosted the night for the first time in a staggering 14 years and they were absolutely amazing! Read on for my summary and review of the crazy ceremony...

The performances this year were amazing and quite unforgettable. Taylor Swift flawlessly opened the show singing the brilliant Blank Space. Kanye made quite the impression and Ed Sheeran gave a beautiful performance of Bloodstream. Of course, the person everyone is talking about... Madonna. The Queen of pop herself returned to the Brits stage for the first time in 20 years and made quite the return. Despite the tragic tumble she persevered and very professionally carried on with the fantastic performance. She truly is a remarkable woman! Other impeccable and absolutely wonderful acts were the stunning Sam Smith, Paloma Faith, Royal Blood, George Ezra and Take That. 

All the winners were incredibly deserving and Sam Smith went away with the most adding more to his award collection! Below is the full list of winners:

British Group- Royal Blood

British Female Solo Artist- Paloma Faith

British Male Solo Artist- Ed Sheeran

International Female Solo Artist- Taylor Swift

You can check out who I predicted would be bagging an award right here. It is defiantly worth a look! 

I think it is safe to say that British music is absolutely amazing right now and there are some very talented artists who we can look forward to hearing more from in 2015!

Oscars 2015

Last night on the 22nd February the amazing annual Oscars Academy Awards took place and it happened to be the 87th ceremony! It included inspirational speeches, talented performances and some crazy moments...

The night was filled with endless entertainment and to host the evening was the much loved American actor Neil Patrick Harris. Unfortunately his presenting happened to be a bit of a flop with awkward interactions and jokes falling flat. However this did not ruin the night and there were still incredible performances.

Recently engaged Lady Gaga took to the stage and reminded everyone just how talented she really is. She sung a medley of classic Sound of Music songs for the films 50th birthday ending with a huge onstage hug from the very elegant and classy Julie Andrews. Gaga's performance was defiantly the performance of the night. Rita Ora also performed stunningly and impressed the audience with song 'grateful'. Other performances included Adam Levine, Jennifer Hudson, Tim McGraw, Neil Patrick Harris, Tegan and Sara & The Lonely Island and John Legend & Common. 

Moving on to the reason that the Oscars exist and that is the awards. So who was honoured an award at one of Hollywood's biggest events of the year? You can click here for the full list of deserving and wonderful winners.

The Oscars are not the only award ceremony happening this week as The Brits will be taking place on Wednesday, I cannot wait! 

MTV VMAs 2014

Another year, another amazing video music awards! Last nights brilliant show was bursting with talent and was just fantastic. The show opened with a brilliant medley from Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj and the beautiful Brit Jessie J. Despite Nicki's slightly
embarrassing wardrobe malfunction, she was very professional and still the 3 fierce women delivered a great performance of their already very successful single. Taylor Swift looked beautiful and gave us a very fun and enjoyable performance off the upbeat tune of 'Shake It Off' shaking off (if you pardon the pun) lots of criticism of the new song. The audience was also treated with a delightful performance of the incredible 'Amnesia' from the sensational 5 Seconds of Summer and Queen Bee (Beyonce) did the most exciting medley of the year. Other excellent performances throughout the night included: Sam Smith, Maroon 5, Usher, Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora.

Every single award winner was very deserving. Best Lyric Video went to 5 Seconds of Summer which is no surprise and a huge achievement for the Aussie lads who are currently touring with the boys of One Direction. Ed Sheeran also went to win Best Male Video for 'Sing' which is amazing. However the most emotional part of the night was when Miley Cyrus won Video of the Year for 'Wrecking Ball' and sent her friend Jesse on to the stage to accept the award who then went on to represent homelessness. Everyone went silent and Miley looked on proudly as she wept from the side of the stage. He talked about My Friends Place which is in Hollywood and is a homeless centre for young people. Miley is a huge supporter of this cause and donations can be made here. We love Miley!

Below is a full list of the award winners:

Best Lyric Video- 5 Seconds of Summer, 'Don't Stop'
Best Female Video- Katy Perry, 'Dark Horse'
Best Male Video- Ed Sheeran, 'Sing'
Best Pop Video- Ariana Grande ft Iggy Azalea, 'Problem'
Best Hip Hop Video- Drake ft Majid Jordan, 'Hold On We're Going Home'
Best Rock Video- Lorde, 'Royals'
Artist to watch- Fifth Harmony
Video of the Year- Miley Cyrus, 'Wrecking Ball'
Video Vanguard Award- Beyonce

Well that's another year of the VMAs over, I really can't wait till next year but in the meantime we can all go over to MTV's website and watch all the videos and relive the magnificent evening over and over and over!

Whats your favourite film and why?

My favourite film has 100% got to be 500 Days of Summer just because it is amazing and I find it quite relatable! Also the soundtrack is perfect and I have seen it sooooo many times and it just never gets boring and the wonderful Zooey Deschanel is in it which is great. I highly recommend it!

Do you have a favourite nail polish?

I have a whole collection of nail polishes and they are mostly all from Barry M. I think Barry M nail polishes are just amazing because they are affordable and great quality. My favourite and I have definatly used the most is the colour Raspberry. In the picture it looks slightly pink but it comes out as a more burgundy colour and I think its a great colour for Autumn!

When is the last time you cried?

Hmmm I am trying to think! I remember I cried a lot when I saw The Fault In Our Stars last month so I am going to go with that. It is such a powerful film wow.

Do you have any pets? If you what are they and what are their names?

I don't actually have any pets currently but I have had a rabbit in the past called Sweep and a guinea pig called Fudge. Me and my brother are actually looking into buying a tortoise though! haha. 

If you could go back in time to relive any memory which one would you choose?

This sounds so cringey but I defiantly think I would go back to when One Direction read out my tweet at their concert, it was honestly the best day ever and has made me so happy. On a more normal note though I would say when I was 11 and got my black belt, I was made up! 

Are you listening to any background music whilst doing this? If so what song?

Yes, the amazing Magic- Rude is currently playing in on TV and I adore this song so much it has such a good tune and is so catchy!

Do you prefer ketchup or mayonnaise?

KETCHUP!

If you could swap lives with one celebrity for the day, who would you choose and why?

This is sooo tricky. I haven't really thought much about this but possibly Taylor Swift?! It would be great to be able to sing and think how amazing it would be to see her wardrobe..

Do you like ribbon?

Well this is random Molly ahahaha but yeah its cute I guess.

What is your view on broccoli?

I like broccoli.

tumblr or Twitter?

hmmmm well this is a tricky one as I love both and am totally addicted. However I think I have got to say Twitter because I find myself constantly checking my timeline and I have somehow managed to build a fair few followers so I love making new friends with everyone on there! They are both great though and you can check me out on both ;-) twitter tumblr
