Youngest Oscar Nomination.

At the age of 9 Quvenzhané Wallis is the youngest ever best actress nominee in history for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild. As a result of this nomination I instantly feel this is a film to watch. The trailer below gives you a glimpse of extraordinary talent.

One Direction "Kiss Me" Video

So it's safe to save One Direction are doing phenomenally well.  They are certainly a guilty pleasure for a fair few girls and yes boys too. I could lie and say they don't phase me but lets be honest they are taking the world by storm and are just great.

I can't say I really watch that many music videos but after the release of One direction's latest video #KissYouOnVEVO went straight to the top worldwide trending topic on Twitter. This in itself is pretty impressive but furthermore the video has only been on YouTube for 7 days and already has more than 24 million views. 

For those of you who want a cheeky watch here's the video (the skiing outfits have got to be a personal fav):

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone. Apologies but I have really abandoned my blog lately. There are so many things I should have blogged about but I just failed to find the time. 

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas's and enjoyed copious amounts of food and drink. One of my highlights had to be going to Christmas Carols at the Royal Albert Hall. There is no denying it is a truly spectacular venue and it was the perfect way to get into the festive spirit. 

Here is one of the videos I took on the night:

It's safe to say 2012 was a pretty amazing year to be British. We had the fantastic Jubilee celebrations followed by the remarkable London 2012 Olympic Games. My family and I were fortunate enough to secure tickets for several events, culminating in the final evening of track and field when we witnessed a truly remarkable 5,000m race when 80,000 people carried Mo Farah to victory in a 12 lap Mexican wave.  Seeing a new world record in the 4x100m Final was an added bonus.  It was an unforgettable family and sporting occasion.  

For those of you who want reminding here is a video montage I found of the games. 

It's going to be hard to follow but fingers crossed we can make 2013 a good one.
