Awards Season 2023-24: Awards Round-Up 1/6
This is going up a little sooner than I expected, since the awards groups are coming on thick and fast in the new year. (According to Awards Daily, my go-to source for awards news, five groups are announcing their awards on the 6th alone.) This time around, we’ve got 13 groups to cover:

MARIO AMAYA
MARIO AMAYA
1933-1986
Mario Amaya was an American art critic, museum director, and magazine editor. He is best known for his association with artist Andy Warhol.
On 3 June 1968, Valerie Solanas went to Andy Warhol’s The Factory (33 Union Square West) at 2:30 pm and was told that Warhol wasn’t there. She leaves and waits outside. Warhol arrives at the Factory at 4:15 pm with his partner Jed Johnson and Solanas meets them outside and joins them and the three enter the building. Even though it’s a hot day, Solanas is wearing a thick turtleneck sweater under a trench coat. Upstairs, Fred Hughes is sitting writing; Paul Morrissey is talking on the phone to actress Viva. Mario Amaya, aged 34, is waiting for Andy in order to discuss an upcoming retrospective in London. Warhol, Johnson, and Solanas arrive, Paul goes to the bathroom, Johnson goes into Warhol’s office and Hughes gets on the phone to speak to Viva.
Amaya, aged 34, was with Warhol inside his office. Solanas takes an automatic weapon and fires a shot, Viva hears the shot over the phone. Warhol screams out, “No, No, Valerie. Don’t do it!” She fires a second time; he falls to the floor and attempts to crawl under his desk. Solanas fires a third time and the bullet enters Andy’s right side and comes out of his back. Believing she had killed Warhol, Solanas turns to Amaya who is crouching on the floor, and fires the fourth shot at him. She misses so she shoots again, hitting him above the hip. The bullet goes through him without damaging any of his organs, and it exits from his back. Amaya gets up and runs to the back room, and uses the weight of his body to hold the door shut. Solanas points the gun at Hughes who is on his knees begging her not to shoot him, “I’m innocent. Please just leave” and she says to him, “I have to shoot you”. Hughes later said that Solanas looked confused and agitated. She then walks over to the elevator and presses the button then returns to him, aiming at his forehead with the gun. She pulls the trigger, but it jams. She grabs a backup gun, from a paper bag but the elevator arrives, and then she leaves.
Viva doesn’t understand what just happened; Hughes tells her that Solanas shot Warhol and then hangs up the phone. Hughes calls for the police and an ambulance. Shortly Gerard Malanga and Angus Maclise arrive 2 minutes at the scene to talk to Warhol about a film.
The ambulance arrives and takes away both Warhol and the wounded Amaya. The driver tells Amaya that it will cost $5 extra to sound the siren, Amaya replies, “Go ahead and sound it.” The men are taken to Columbus Hospital, Warhol is pronounced clinically dead for one and a half minutes before they revive him. They have to operate on him for over five hours and remove his spleen. He survives. Amaya is released from the hospital with minor injuries.
At 8 pm, Solanas walks up to a traffic police officer and says to him, “The police are looking for me and want me.” She hands the guns over to the officer and says, “I shot Andy Warhol” and reasoned it was because “he had too much control of my life”. She is arrested and sent to the hospital for a psychiatric examination. She said, “I just wanted him [Warhol] to pay attention to me. Talking to him was like talking to a chair.”
Solanas had once written a script called ‘Up Your Ass’ and thought that Warhol may be interested in it. She took it to The Factory for him to read. Warhol looked through the script briefly and thought it was ‘dirty’. Warhol lost the script and Solanas wasn’t happy as it was her only copy. Solanas who lived most of her life on the streets started asking Warhol and others for money, Warhol told her to come over and be in one of his movies to earn $25 dollars instead of asking for a handout. Solanas took up Warhol’s offer and came right over and she was filmed for a short scene on a staircase.
Amaya moved and lived in London and wrote books on art. He died from complications of AIDS in 1986 aged 52.
The crime was depicted in the film I SHOT ANDY WARHOL (1996) which stars Lili Taylor, Jared Harris, Stephen Dorff, Martha Plimpton, and Justin Theroux.

why the percy jackson movies are good, actually:
1) they just are lol
okay but seriously before i get into this let me address the valid criticisms the movies get.
grover is a racist caricature. it was unnecessary and they destroyed his character to make him comic relief. also NO ONE asked for the weird persephone x grover thing in the first film 🤢
very weird unresolved tension between percy and annabeth... “i definitely have feelings for you, i just cant tell if theyre negative or positive” is top 5 worst lines in cinema. they had no business aging up the characters just to “sex-ify” the film. like we didnt need a gritty/dark version of what is supposed to be a children’s story
they made clarisse skinny 😐
as an adaptation, if you were looking for faithfulness, you didnt find it in the movies. (the musical is a much better adaptation!) like not even the notion of artistic license can excuse chris columbus for changing all that he did. thor freudenthal tried to fix it but by then it was too late. i understand the hatred for the movies based on this. (but at the same time, the sheer level of hate is unwarranted. ill explain later)
????
genuinely cant think of any other reasons they’re bad. i think those cover the main concerns. anyways, HERE IS WHY THE PERCY JACKSON MOVIES ARE GOOD, ACTUALLY:
logan lerman acting king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! when i tell you that man EMBODIED the character of percy jackson. i know his legacy has been forever tarnished by the bad reputation of these movies but i also know that everyone praises his work in it bc it is truly one of the best things about the films. like he is genuinely talented! THAT BEING SAID. i dont want to see him as poseidon in the percy jackson disney show. i just know that man is tired of being associated to greek mythology fanfiction. support him by watching his other movies instead please
jake abel, acting king number 2. ive said this before but he was ACTUALLY the perfect luke. the expressions. the delivery of his corny lines. this video. literally iconic behavior!
honestly the cast in general. alexandra daddario, nathan fillion hermes, stanley tucci dionysus, UMA THURMAN MEDUSA???!!!
the soundtrack... need i say more? (i don’t, but i will anyways. first movie featured highway to hell, pokerface, tiktok - not the app. the ke$ha song- among others. second movie featured fall out boy. like they didn’t have to go that hard with the songs but they DID). also they made luke listen to classical music while playing chess in his giant cruise ship’s captain’s quarters... perfect characterization!
rick riordan hates the movies and im sick and tired of that man so by default i love the movies. okay but seriously. i understand feeling insulted by a poorly done adaptation of your life’s greatest work, and i understand not wanting to watch something that is based on your writing. but he has made this grudge so excessive that out of spite im about to start unironically endorsing the films over his books. hes written whole essays griping about his hatred for the movies. which at the same time, is just FURTHER ASSOCIATING YOURSELF TO THE MOVIES! a part of me is convinced that as soon as the disney x fox merger happened, he ran to disney headquarters and started begging them for a tv show just so he could direct his anger towards the movies into something productive. like man WE GET IT! YOU DONT LIKE THE MOVIES!!!
they are.... SO funny???????? im pretty sure even if you havent seen the movies youve heard someone quote it? here are some notable ones:
“this is like high school without the musical”
“this is a pen. THIS IS A PEN!!”
“you can’t kill the janitors! those are working class citizens!”
“you’re burning money? we’re in a recession! that’s treason!!”
“tell me those aren’t sharks.” “....those aren’t sharks.”
that scene where tyson is like... olympus!!!! and percy is like... no...we’re in washington dc.....
“hey! what are you doing? don’t walk on my roof.”
“[starts singing It’s A Small World]”
the visual effects are objectively, pretty good
despite it not being a faithful adaptation, the movies have a decent plot. or at least i was still enthralled while watching them? like disconnect them from the books and its still a (mostly) solid story.
or if you dont want to think about the plot at all, just admit that they’re FUN and ICONIC and DEFINED THE 2010s.
you guys are just haters. the percy jackson movies are good and we deserved the titans curse adaptation. end of discussion
#pjo#pjo movies#blah blah blah#u all asked and i delivered.#and to all a good night🙏🏼#pro pjo films propaganda#100#pin

Awards Season 2020-21: Critics Groups Salad
Thank you, AwardsWatch, for providing me with a boatload of awards news that would’ve flown totally under my radar had I not dropped by. This time, I’m assembling the results from ten groups from across the country, some relatively big, some very small, and all adding to the overall picture of what this season has to offer.
I should note that there will be another major influx of critics awards…

Le nominations agli #Oscar2022 per la categoria #Migliorattorenonprotagonista hanno eletto come premi chiave di questa stagione, i Critics Choice Awards, i BAFTA e anche Washington DC Area Film Critics Association Awards (WAFCA) dato che le loro cinquine si sono molto avvicinate a quelle degli Academy. Sul fronte delle esclusioni fa' più rumore quella di Jamie Dornan per Belfast dato che aveva ottenuto la nomination a tutti i premi chiave ad eccezione dei SAG e dei BAFTA, che quella divisiva di Jared Leto per House of Gucci (recentemente candidato ai Razzie Awards) ma che aveva dalla sua parte la nomination ai SAG, ai Satellite e ai Critics Choice Awards. La vera sorpresa è stata Jesse Plemons per Il potere del cane che oltre ai BAFTA e ai WAFCA aveva ottenuto solo una serie di nominations ma senza vincere alcun premio (Alliance of Women Film Journalists Award, Columbus Film Critics Association Award, Dallas-Fort Worth Film Critics Association Award, London Critics Circle Film Award) Tra i supporter candidati Smit-McPhee, Hinds e Kotsur hanno ottenuto il maggior numero di nominations tra quelli chiave, ma è Smit-McPhee ad aver vinto più premi (30), seguono Kotsur (6), Hinds (3) e J.K.Simmons (1) (4/4) #Nominations #OscarNoms #AwardsRace #AwardsSeason #StagionedeiPremi #BestSupportingActor #OscarAnalysis #OscarSnub #SAGAWARDS #CriticsChoiceAwards #BAFTA #GoldenGlobe #HCAFilmAwards #SatelliteAwards #WAFCAAwards https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ9pjnaskil/?utm_medium=tumblr

Warhol Gravely Wounded In Studio; Actress Is Held
Richard F. Shepard, The New York Times, 4 June 1968
Andy Warhol, the artist who brought a bewildering new dimension to American pop culture through his films, sculptures and paintings, was shot and critically wounded in his film studio yesterday afternoon.
Less than four hours later a 28-year-old actress, Valeria Solanas, who appeared in the Warhol film I, a Man, surrendered to a policeman in Times Square and told the police that she had shot Mr. Warhol.
Dr. Massimo Bazzini, medical director of Columbus Hospital, said Mr. Warhol had a 50-50 chance for survival. At 2:30 this morning the artist was still in critical condition.
The artist, whose literal reproductions of Campbell Soup cans, typewriters and telephones and boxes of Brillo that sold for $1,300 each caused an art upheaval, was shot in his “factory” on the sixth floor of the building at 33 Union Square West.
Mr. Warhol, who was talking on the telephone to an actress, was in the large, rather bare I studio with Mario Amayo, a writer. The elevator door opened, a woman entered the room, and, after a brief conversation, pulled out a gun and opened fire. Mr. Warhol fell, badly wounded. Mr. Amayo was hit in the back, but was less seriously hurt and later was released from the hospital.
At 8 P.M. Miss Solanas is walked up to Patrolman William Schemalix at 42nd Street and Seventh Avenue and told him, “The police are looking for me and want me.” The police said that she had admitted the shooting and that Mr. Warhol had had “too much control of my life.”
She wore a trench-coat, with a pistol in each side pocket the police said a .32-caliber automatic she was carrying had been fired.
After questioning by Rodrick Lankier, an assistant district attorney, and Inspector Thomas McGuire, commanding officer of the first detective division, she was booked on charges of felonious assault and possession of a deadly weapon.
Dressed in khaki jeans, a blue turtleneck sweater, a yellow knit sweatshirt and torn blue sneakers, the dark-haired Miss Solanas gave no address, saying, “I live nowhere.” Asked if she was an actress, she said, “No, I'm really a writer.”
She was taken to the West 30th Street police station last night and will be arraigned today in Criminal Court She said that she had written a manifesto “telling what I’m all about” She said that she was a 1960 graduate of the University of Maryland.
The police said they knew of no motive for the shooting, but acquaintances of Mr. Warhol and Miss Solanas said that she had wanted him to film a script that she had written.
Dr. Bazzini said that Mr. Warhol had been shot in the left abdomen and in the left and right side. A four-man medical team operated on him for more than four hours. It was believed that the artist had been hit by at least two bullets. His mother, Mrs. Julia Warhol, was placed under sedation at the hospital and then taken home by two of her son’s associates. She and her son live at 1342 Lexington Avenue, near 89th Street Mrs. Warhol was accompanied by Gerald Malagna, who works with Mr. Warhol, and by Viva, his latest star. Viva, who uses only a single name, said that she had been speaking to Mr. Warhol on the telephone at the time of the shooting. She said she heard “five shots and a lot of screaming.”
At the hospital, more than a dozen friends of Mr. Warhol, many clad in hippie fashions, waited in the emergency room for word of his condition.
The shooting, as reconstructed from accounts by witnesses and the police, took place at about 4:20 P.M. Shortly before then a young woman, who had visited the studio at 2:30 P.M. and left when she learned that Mr. Warhol was out, emerged from the self-service elevator.
She found Mr. Warhol and Mr. Amaya in a large room, onto which the elevator door opens. Mr. Amaya, an editor of Arts and Artists, a London publication that recently ran an article on Mr. Warhol, said that after the woman entered the room he turned away and then heard the gunfire.
“I thought it was coming through the window,” he said. “Then I noticed a revolver like one of those guns you see in Dick Tracy in her hand.”
He said that Mr. Warhol, clad in a brown leather jacket, trousers and boots, shouted “Oh, no!” as she fired. She then turned to Mr. Amaya and fired as he ducked.
The police and an ambulance were called. On the basis of description of the woman, the police began searching for Miss Solanas.
About a year ago Miss Solanas placed an advertisement in The Village Voice, a Greenwich Village weekly, announcing the formation of an organization called S.C.U.M., the Society for Cutting Up Men.
At the office of The Voice last night a spokesman said that the ad had been accepted as a humorous concoction.
Until last October she lived at the Chelsea Hotel, famous for its literary and artistic clientele, and the locale for a Warhol movie Chelsea Girls
Tess Jennings, the night telephone operator, said, “She’d stand by the wall and buttonhole people. On the telephone, she’d like to announce who she was calling—maybe a famous actress—and tell you to stay on the line, so that she wouldn't be charged for the call if the actress didn’t answer.
“She wore men’s clothes, slacks and jackets and hats. She had long hair, but she wore it tied up short because she said it was 'to feminine’ when it hung down.”
The girl who was talking with Mr. Warhol on the telephone, Viva, was born Susan Hoffmann. She identified herself in a recent article in New York magazine as one of nine children of a Syracuse lawyer. The 25-year-old blonde said she lived in a brownstone on East 83d Street
In the article she was quoted as having said: “I've got to call Andy to pay my Con Edison bill. Andy gives me a hundred dollars here and a hundred dollars there, whenever I need money. I never ask for much. We’re all supposed to go regular salary soon, but Andy says the company is bankrupt.”
Viva starred last year as “The Waitres" in Mr. Warhol’s film The Nude Restaurant. Some 40 minutes of the first part of the film was made in a bathroom used by Viva, who was described by a critic for The New York Times as a “lanky, dreaming, extremely loquacious type who is quite nude throughout the formless proceedings.”
In the casual Warhol production style, Viva remarks to a young man who joins her in a bathtub, "You know Churchill spent eight hours a day in his bath?”
Mr. Warhol, the son of Czechoslovak immigrants, was born in McKeesport, Pa., either in 1927 or 1929—there is some doubt about which year it was.
His talent for drawing notice to himself has tended to obscure some of his accomplishments as an artist and as a film-maker. His work has stirred controversy in the art world where some critics saw in it a refutation of abstract expressionism. Three years ago he described himself as a “retired artist” who would now make only films.
In 1964, Mr. Warhol’s cinematography won him the Independent Film Award, presented by Film Culture Magazine.
He has made more than 150 films since he began his career in the movie business. In 1966, he made The Chelsea Girls, a 4-hour film depicting life among a group of homosexuals, lesbians and dope addicts. It was actually two films, shown side by side on twin screens.
The film set new precedents in displaying male nudity and in presenting dialogue liberally sprinkled with four-letter words. It earned more than $500,000 on a cost of less than $1,500.
Mr. Warhol has developed his own stable of stars, who go by names such as Mario Montez, Ingrid Superstar, National Velvet and Viva.
