Year in Review: The 15
Biggest Moments in
Hollywood of 2015
2
015 was a pretty big year for Hollywood. Between
movies breaking all sorts of records and new TV
shows setting new standards for records, we’d say
2015 was one for the books.
For all the juicy stuff, we’ve got a break down of the 15
biggest moments in Hollywood!
Empire Changed the TV Game
Empire kicked off new TV in 2015 with a real bang, having the highest-rated debut on FOX in three years. It
continued it’s amazing success by being the first prime
time broadcasted series in at least 23 years to have its
viewership increase week to week during its first five
episodes. By the first season's finale in March, it had
17.62 million in viewers. Empire also had the highest
rated debut season finale since May 2005, when Grey's
Anatomy ended its first season. Critics and fans alike
credit the show’s success to two of it’s main stars, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Even people who
don’t watch Empire can quote the show, “no nookie from
Cookie!”
Katy Perry and Left Shark Rocked Out at the
Super Bowl
Katy Perry’s performance at the Super Bowl back in
February was pretty damn epic, but we all know the true
star of that night. Left Shark. The memes that took over
the internet were never ending. You can buy Left Shark
costumes, blankets, trinkets, and more. That surprise
appearance by Missy Elliot kicked Katy's already epic
performance up to another level, making it one of the
best Super Bowl Half Time shows in years.
Fifty Shades of Grey Dominated February
Fifty Shades of Grey dominated (wink wink) the box
office in February, ending up with a worldwide lifetime
gross of $570, 489,358. It became Universal Pictures
biggest rated-R film of all time. It is currently the #1
opening weekend for the month of February and the
#2 biggest opening weekend for Winter (although Star
Wars: The Force Awakens will knock it the #3 shortly).
Zoolander and Hansel Walked The Runway at
Paris Fashion Week
To promote their film Zoolander 2, the highly anticipated sequel to 2001’s Zoolander, Ben Stiller and Owen
Wilson walked the runway at Paris Fashion Week. Very
obviously, these two stole the show and we can look
forward to Zoolander 2 in 2016!
Eddie Redmayne Was Cute AF At the Oscars
While the 2014 Oscars might have gone down in history as one of the best with all the name flubs and epic
selfies, we'd say the 2015 Oscars were great as well, all
thanks for the adorable Eddie Redmayne. Eddie won his
first Oscar for his portrayal of genius Stephen Hawking
in The Theory of Everything (he also won the Screen Actors Guild Award, BAFTA and Golden Globe for this role,
because he was amazing). The best part of his win was
his adorable, heartfelt acceptance speech this made us
all cry.
