The rumblings of awards season has begun, starting with the recently announced Critics Choice Awards nominations. And to nobody’s surprise (and everyone’s relief), The Muppets makes a few appearances on the list!
The big one is Best Comedy, which pits The Muppets against Bridesmaids, Crazy Stupid Love, Horrible Bosses, and Midnight in Paris. Which is funny, because The Muppets featured a wedding, stupid people in love, a terrible boss, and a nighttime scene in Paris. Obviously The Muppets is better than all of those combined.
And in the Best Song category, The Muppets has nominations for “Man or Muppet”, “Life is a Happy Song”, and “Pictures in My Head”. The other nominees are from Gnomeo and Juliet and The Help, neither of which feature anything written by a Kiwi. New Zealand fail!
Keep your fingers crossed for The Muppets to win at the Critics Choice Awards on January 12, 2012 (to be televised on VH-1)!
