Some truly awesome things—and a
few tragic ones as well—happened in 2014, and we just couldn't end the
year without a roundup of the most memorable!
THE YEAR OF TERROR FOR ASTRO-PHOBES: Millions of movie-goers were peacefully gnawing on popcorn when they were suddenly accosted by trailers of Sandra Bullock floating in outer space (and trailers of raccoon-human hybrids floating in outer space too, come to think of it.) While your insides may have felt like they were being spaghettified through the film projector, there's no denying that Alfonso Cuaron moved on from Harry Potter to make a kick-butt film, and he got a pretty gold statue for his mantel.
THE YEAR OF QUEEN IDINA MENZEL: Even though everyone's favorite movie about an ice queen and her sister technically came out in 2013, we all know that Frozen fever will never end! This was the year of approximately twenty-seven pint-sized Elsas, Annas, and Olafs showing up at your door on Halloween. This was the year of belting out Let It Go, and not caring that you sounded a bit like a distressed whale. This was the year of snow days in the Northeast, courtesy of Queen Elsa.
THE YEAR OF ALS AWARENESS: Ah, the ice bucket challenge. How marvelously humanitarian and entertaining. How painful and shocking when you were nominated. How freezing the water was. How devious you felt when you nominated your siblings. The ice bucket challenge took the country by storm (perhaps Elsa's doing?) to raise awareness for Lou Gehrig's Disease, and we got to give to a good cause AND see Liam Hemsworth soak himself while wearing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle costume. It was a win-win.
THE YEAR OF SHAKING THE HATERS: T-Swizzle's epic 1989 came out this year, and Sparklers, frat guys, Starbucks-loving moms, and everybody else is still happily shakin' it off. This was a year of fawning over her kittens Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, attempting to recreate the crimson perfection of of her red lipstick, and blasting Blank Space during solo dance parties in our rooms.
THE YEAR WE WANTED TO STAND ON OUR DESK: Robin Williams passed away at age 63. O Captain, my captain, you are greatly missed. Broadway also dimmed its lights for Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joan Rivers this year.
Which event in 2014 stood out the most to you?
