Tag Tuesday: Bookish Academy Awards

Happy Tuesday everyone! Sadly, there’s no theme to this week’s blog posts, but I hope you enjoyed Unpopular and Popular Opinions Weeks. I had a lot of fun doing them, so I might do something similar at some point.

Today is time for another Tag Tuesday and today I’m doing the Bookish Academy Awards! Thank you very much to Hanna for tagging me to do this tag!! Please go and give her blog a follow if you don’t already. She has three adorable kids and still manages to read and blog and be an overall great person.

Best Actor: Best male protagonist

This one was harder than I expected because it turns out I don’t read a ton of books with male protagonists, and of the ones I do, they tend to be fairly bland. But I’m going to go with Pi Patel from Life of Pi. He’s such a great and charming protagonist.

Best Actress: Best female protagonist

Evelyn Hugo from the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Are we shocked? No.

Best Cinematography: Best plot twist

Morning Star by Pierce Brown. I could’ve put the entire Red Rising series, but the ending of Morning Star has some of the best (in my opinion) plot twists ever.

Best Costume Design: Best book cover

We all know I love many book covers, but the paperback cover of Homegoing is one of the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen.

Best Supporting Actress and Actor: Best Male and Female Sidekick

Male sidekick: Sevro from Red Rising

Female sidekick: Nimona from Nimona (I know she’s the titular person, but she’s literally the sidekick)

Best Original Screenplay: Most Unique Plot/World

Even though it wasn’t my favourite series, A Darker Shade of Magic has some of the best world-building and most interesting magic system.

Best Adapted Screenplay: Best book-to-movie adaptation

Pass, because I haven’t seen any lately that deserve a shoutout!

Best Animated Feature: A book that would work well in animated format

Skullduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy. I mean, he’s a skeleton. I think it would make such a cute animated TV show!

Best Director: A writer you discovered for the first time

Kazuo Ishiguro. I’ve only read one of his books, but it definitely won’t be the last.

Best Short Film: Best Novella or Short-Book

Hunger by Lan Samantha Chang. The titular novella was so good and I highly recommend it.

Best Picture: Best Stand-Alone

Of what I’ve read in 2018, Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng. And it has a gorgeous cover!

Best Documentary: Best historical fiction

I’m straight up stealing Hanna’s answer and saying Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys.
