Season 19 Golden Reel Awards



Welcome to the Season 19 Golden Reel Awards, celebrating the best Last Resort Films releases of the studio's 19th season. Tonight there are 15 different films, exactly half of the season's slate, vying for the 14 prestigious awards on the line this evening. The nominees are led by the historical drama Klondike and the erotic thriller Poison Ivy, each coming into the ceremony with 9 nominations a piece.




AND NOW FOR THE AWARDS....





AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




Still Lives is officially done for the night, getting shut out in its only nominated category. Poison Ivy meanwhile starts off the night with a win in its first of 9 nominations. Unlike Still Lives, Urban Cowboy and Superman: The Last Son of Krypton still have a shot at some awards tonight.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




Make it 2-for-2 for Poison Ivy to start off the ceremony. This is the third Best Soundtrack GRA victory for writer Roy Horne, tying him for the all-time record with Chad Taylor and Lon Charles. While Poison Ivy is off to a hot start tonight, Urban Cowboy is now 0-for-2 on the night.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....





Spider-Man takes home its first award on the night. This is the 5th consecutive win in the Most Wanted Sequel category for a Marvel Universe production. The last non-Marvel film to take home the award was Superman: The Man of Tomorrow back in Season 14.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




Cecil came into the ceremony with 7 nominations and finally wins one in its third category. Meanwhile, Superman: The Last Son of Krypton is done for the night, failing to take home any trophies with any of its three nominations - which is surely an upset after the previous Superman film took home two trophies. Klondike didn't win in its first category of the night, but it still has 8 more chances.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




This trophy gives Alden Ehrenreich his 5th GRA trophy, and his first in the Best Starring Couple category after two previous nominations. This is also Olsen's first Best Starring Couple trophy after one previous nomination. This is Olsen's 4th overall GRA trophy.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




After missing out in the Best Starring Couple category, Sydney Sweeney wins the first GRA of her young career. The films Chris, Travis & Juliet and The Cry of the Night Lady are shut out of the ceremony, losing in their only category. Poison Ivy now has 3 wins on the evening - with nominations in 5 more categories. Sydney Sweeney personally has one more shot at gold with a nomination in the Best Actress category.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




In its first category, the Chad Taylor-penned Kansas City takes home its first trophy. The film will have 5 more chances to earn more trophies. At the Mountains of Madness will go home empty-handed, losing in its only category. Spider-Man is down to just one more category - Best Director, while Poison Ivy still has four categories left - including Best Picture.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




Cecil takes home its second award of the evening while Shouts from the Well and Tokyo Rose are shut out of their own category. The loss in this category make Klondike 0-for-3 heading into the final stretch of awards.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....





Tonight's victory gives Ana de Armas the first GRA trophy of her career - and gives Kansas City its second trophy of the ceremony. Kansas City has 4 more chances to take home hardware - including in the Best Picture category.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




The future Mr. Bond, Dan Stevens, can finally add GRA-winner to his resume after all these seasons. The actor, who made his LRF debut all the way back in Season 1, was previously nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Villain back in Season 13 for Elysian. The win also finally gives Klondike its first award on the evening after being shut out in its first three categories.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




Sydney Sweeney will take home another trophy after already winning in the Best Villain category - making it quite the GRA debut for the young actress. Poison Ivy now has 4 wins on the night, with two nominations to go.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




Chris Pine is now officially a 2-time Best Actor winner and 4-time GRA winner with this victory. Klondike's night is slowly turning around, after being shut out in its first three categories the film has won two awards and still has nominations in the final two categories of the evening.






AND THE AWARD GOES TO....




Nicolas Winding Refn is now the first 3-time Best Director winner in GRA history, breaking his previous three-way with Christopher Nolan and Steven Soderbergh at two awards. The win also gives Cecil its third trophy of the evening - and with wins in Best Original Story and now Best Director, the film has to considered the front-runner heading into the final category of the evening.






AND THE FINAL AWARD OF THE NIGHT GOES TO....




Klondike takes home the final award of the evening, giving it three total for the ceremony. In a rare instance, the film with the most awards has not taken home the Best Picture trophy - although Klondike was tied for the most nominations with Poison Ivy, the film that took home the most trophies. Writer John Malone now has 5 Best Picture trophies to his name - only Chad Taylor has more. Malone's Klondike co-writer Jimmy Ellis now has two Best Picture trophies - both for films co-written with Malone.


Congratulations to all of the winners! That's a wrap on the 19th season in the world of Last Resort Films and Hollywood Movie Studio. The 4th LRF Comic-Con will be on July 18th, while Season 20 itself will begin a week later on July 25th. In the meantime, stay tuned for a special GRA-edition of The Numbers on Monday.
