The Fourth Annual Davey Awards - The Nominees!
Hello! Every year I hold the annual Davey Awards for brilliance in motion pictures that move. This is our fourth year, and it promises to be one that is a year. Let's get to the nominees. Please note that there are some big movies (The Boy and the Heron, Poor Things, The Iron Claw, Ferrari, Wonka, The Taste of Things, for example) that I haven't been able to see and won't be able to see for a while. However, The Boy and the Heron's score was released to streaming services recently and I like the little impatient so-and-so that I am listened to it, and felt compelled to include it for consideration. Without further adieu:

The 3rd Annual Davey Awards - The Winners!
Hello and welcome to the big day, the day I announce the winners of the 3rd Annual Davey Awards for Film Excellence for 2022. It's been a long couple of weeks of deliberation and speculation and whatnot, so let's get into it. First, our previously announced award, the Davey Award for “Wow I hadn’t seen you on screen for a while and seeing you again made me feel kind of emotional.” The winners this year are of course, David Lynch for his role in The Fabelmans and Janet Fielding for her role in The Power of the Doctor. Now, on with the show.
The Davey for Best Supporting Actor goes to...
It's a tie! Can you believe it. I can't. The winners are Stephen Lang for Avatar: The Way of Water, Sigourney Weaver for Avatar: The Way of Water, Paul Dano for The Fabelmans, and Michelle Williams for The Fabelmans. Wow! They should swap roles next time they each do a movie. Paul Dano as Quaritch. Up next: The Davey for Best Animated Feature. The winner is.... Turning Red! Wow. What a year for animated pictures. The Davey for Best Production Design is awarded to Jess Gonchor, for White Noise! Likewise, the Davey for Best Costume Design goes to Ann Roth for White Noise! Wow! The Davey for Best Screenplay (Original) this year goes to Steven Spielberg and Tony Kushner for The Fabelmans! The Davey for Best Screenplay (Adapted) goes to... Avatar: The Way of Water, written by James Cameron, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, Story by Cameron, Jaffa, Silver, Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno. I see you! The Davey for Best VFX is likewise awarded to Avatar: The Way of Water! The Davey for Best Ensemble goes to....the team who brought us so many laughs, tears, and incredible moments of discomfort - Jackass Forever! The Davey for Best Original Score is this year awarded to...Tindersticks, for Stars at Noon! The Davey for Best Editing goes to...Matt Villa and Jonathan Redmond, for their work on Elvis! Shake rattle AND roll. Now for the The Davey for Best Cinematography, which this year is awarded to...Hoyte van Hoytema, for Nope! The Davey for Best Actor. This year, as always, two performers were recognised for their incredible work. The winners are... for his stunning breakthrough role in The Fabelmans, Gabriel LaBelle, and for her incredible turn in Nope, Keke Palmer! For our penultimate award of the night, it's time for the Davey for Best Director. This year, the award goes to....Charlotte Wells, for her debut feature, Aftersun! And finally...the Davey for Best Picture. Joining Never Rarely Sometimes Always in the pantheon of Best Picture winners at the Daveys is.....Nope! Congrats to Nope. And that's it! See you again in 2024 for the next round of Daveys.

Hello! Thank you for stopping by. Two years ago I established The Daveys (they may have been The Davies back then, I don’t know), an end-of-year fake movie awards body, just because I got bored one day and was like hey, doing something like that might be fun. Last year I switched to a non-competitive format because I wasn’t really feeling it, but this year I said you know what, let’s get gifting again, and so here we are.
As always there are films that I didn’t get around to seeing, mostly due to availability, and as such they don’t feature here but possibly would’ve had I been able to see them. Likewise, there are many films that almost made their way on here but ultimately didn’t. The point is - these are all silly, really. Don’t take this seriously.
This year also sees the introduction of a special celebratory award, the Davey Award for “Wow I hadn’t seen you on screen for a while and seeing you again made me feel kind of emotional.” This year’s inaugural recipients are:
For his role in The Fabelmans, David Lynch. For her role in The Power of the Doctor, Janet Fielding. I’m sure this is the most important thing they will ever win in their lives. Congrats to them both.
A reminder: There is one winner from each category, except for the acting categories. There are two winners from those. There is also a runner up for each single-winner category. Anyway.

Podtor Whocast - check us out
We're a Doctor Who podcast - well, I'm a person, but I co-host this Doctor Who podcast. It's a bit like the other ones but we're doing all the New Who stuff (Doctor Who, Torchwood, The Sarah Jane Adventures, K9, Class, even stuff like Time Lord Victorious and Doctor Who: Redacted, hopefully) in broadcast order. We're almost finished with Torchwood series 2, I think this is a fun episode, give us a listen, you may as well (I guess).

Headaches
I'm tired of headaches. I've got one right now that's just like, sitting there. It's not really hitting me, it's just floating around my brain, like a boat on a tiny little wavepool - what a boat would be doing on a wavepool is your guess, not mine - and it's getting a little annoying. There's not really much you can get done with a headache either. Even if it's as slight as mine - I think it's a head cold I have, to be honest, rather than anything else - all you can think about is the fact you have a headache. It's not great, is it. Not at all.

that one song on TikTok
I've been scrolling through TikTok. They keep using the same song over and over - it's not good. It's a load of different songs. Your ones singing Crazy in the garage, that "i don't ever wanna meet you blah blah blah" song, all those other Starbucks sound-makers. Not good. Not good!

Pokémon
So I've been playing Pokémon Scarlet for a couple of hours (my copy arrived yesterday, would you believe? I certainly wouldn't, but it did) and I've just arrived at the point where I'm buffing my Pokémon up for this freaking BUG gym. Bug gym? Little ant fuckers doing bench presses? Buddy I sure hope so - NOT.

Frasier
I just watched an episode of Frasier where the boys (Frasier and Niles) think their dad cheated on their mom when they were kids, but then they learn their mom cheated on their dad. So much drama for 23 minutes of television. What a world we live in.
