ATAS Presents Women In Prime Event 2006

When I looked at posting a photo update for an old event I realised that I had never actually posted about this particular one before.

Way back in the very, very early days of KM UK there was a large image update to mark the opening of the Gallery which included a huge amount of event photos. Basically my whole collection as it stood at the time. Since then I’ve done updates to those where I can.

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Presents ‘Women in Prime’ event from the end of March 2006 was one that was included in that initial drop and has not been posted about since.

As you can see from the photos Kathryn was not only part of the usual red carpet line-up but also was a participant in a discussion panel which included ladies such as Angela Lansbury (Murder She Wrote, which Kathryn worked on twice), CCH Pounder (NCIS: New Orleans) and Jeanne Tripplehorn (Sliding Doors). Not sure having the event moderated by a man (Jim Longworth) was the best move from an image point of view though.

There are a few short videos of Angela and CCH from this on YouTube but none that I’ve found include Kathryn.

I have now added 5 new photos to the 24 existing ones from this event to the KM UK Gallery. If you haven’t seen them before then do check them out. Kathryn looks very sweet in her cropped tartan trousers.

KM UK Awards 2016

We were invited to other award shows but didn’t go this time! They gave out stupid prizes, in lightweight categories! We’ll hold our own event, again, and they’re not invited to it!

Let me tell you I know a thing or two about award ceremonies! I’ve done billions of them! They’re the best award ceremonies you’ve ever seen! I’m not just saying that. Everyone knows that! Right?

And we won’t be handing out namby-pamby prizes to ‘winners’. Oh no!

From now on the so-called ‘winners’ will have to make their own statues. They can pull them out of the their own ears, their own… whatever. What’s more, we’ll make them pay us to let them make them for themselves!

And if they don’t like that we’ll force them to do something worse than wakeboarding! That’s a thing right?

We’ve got a new mascot for our event this year. As you can see (above) ‘The RichE’ is a very attractive bear. Yes, before you ask, all the fur is natural. It just grows like that.

It’s time to make the KM UK Awards great again!

Bone Tomahawk Heads For The Low Country

After the dizzying heights of eastern France yesterday today we are heading both North and down.

The distinguished looking gentleman you see on the right is the logo/mascot of the International Film Festival Rotterdam. He’s a tiger, apparently loosely based on the MGM film studio’s iconic roaring lion, and is used to represent the event in all its forms. The festival is held in the city of Rotterham in South Holland, the Netherlands, and this will be its 45th year.

S. Craig Zahler’s Horror western Bone Tomahawk is having its national première on Friday (29th) at the Pathé Schouwburgplein cinema starting at 12:30pm. Saturday night sees a repeat screening a the same venue. An evening showing at the Cinerama Filmtheater on Sunday and the following Friday (5th Feb, yes it is nearly February already!) for final 19:15 start at the Oude Luxor Theater.

As is usual on these occasions we end on a link to the official website of the event in question: HERE.

Bone Tomahawk Heads For The Hills (Of France)

You’ll have to forgive me up front because I’m bound to make a hash of this one. No doubt I’ll amuse and offend a whole country in one post with my attempts to understand a language I very clearly don’t.

It’s been a while since we’ve hit the festival circuit here on KM UK and it is already late January 2016. We have a bit of catching up to do.

On Wednesday (27th Jan 2017) the Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer starts. I think we can work out most of that without reaching for the French-English dictionary but suffice to say it is a sci-fi and horror film festival held in France.

Gérardmer is a community in the far East of France, around 35 miles (that’s approx. 60km for locals) from the borders with both Germany and Switzerland. Up in the mountains it is on the shores of Lac de Gérardmer and looks like a very beautiful part of the world (hopefully that buys me a bit of goodwill ).

Bone Tomahawk is one of four films premièring at the event and gets an initial 11am showing on Thursday (28th) at the L’espace LAC cinema, which is the main venue for the whole event. Later, at 7:30pm, it will be at the Cinéma du casino. Friday and Saturday see screenings at the other two screening rooms for the festival La MCL and Le cinéma Paradiso respectively.

Check out the official website for the Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer, which runs until the end of the month, for all the details without my butchering.

Again, apologies 😐

Kathryn @ People’s Choice Awards 2010 Reprise

Almost exactly a year a go I posted a sizeable update of photos of Kathryn at People’s Choice Awards in 2010.

The additional photos then were focused on the red carpet side of the event. The ‘before’ if you will.

Today we look at the ‘during’ with a smaller update involving the events on stage and backstage.

Sadly I’ve nothing from ‘after’

This event was a little unusual for a public appearance by Kathryn because her role in presenting two awards with Greg Grunberg (Alias) meant had advanced warning it would be happening. I even posted about it a few weeks previously! Go me!

This year’s People’s Choice Awards; which covers film, television and music; took place last week. I like to make these updates to old events timely. Unlike the Oscars which can allow one film to dominate proceedings in the PCAs the categories largely prevent that. Having said that Furious 7 (which not a prequel to The Hateful Eight regardless of what you might think!), The Big Bang Theory and Taylor Swift could between them be said to have won the major prizes between them.
