It took awhile but we all officially made it through the 85th Annual Academy Awards. There were a fair share of surprises sprinkled throughout the slightly entertaining broadcast, but now is not the time to gush about how happy we are that some people won. It's time to examine this year's list of winners and reflect on whether or not their wins were, well, deserved to be blunt.
Prestigious awards shows don't like to be caught off guard. When Adele won Best Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammys, and a TV reporter sneaked onstage to tell her he loved her, he was arrested for his spur-of-the-moment bit. At the Oscars, Kristina Reed, producer of the short film Paperman, was temporarily kicked out of Sunday's ceremony for a harmless...
If there's anything Jimmy Kimmel loves more than hating on Matt Damon, it's hanging out with his celebrity friends. Last year following the Academy Awards, the late night host debuted Movie: The Movie, a star-studded parody that pocked fun at every movie from the previous year. This year, following the awards ceremony, he made a sequel with even more celebrities...
There were a fair number of high quality movies that were granted the chance to compete for this year's Best Picture winner at the Academy Awards, and as the Oscar race continued on for months, we saw a number of movies bob their way in and out of first place, but only one could be named the champion of them all.
A lot of folks who pay attention to the Academy Awards believed that there was one surefire winner for this year's Best Actor category. Now that's not to say that the other candidates weren't qualified enough to be in the running, but this guy is a masterful actor. But did Academy voters help make the predictions come true or not?
It's been a fierce battle, trying to figure out who will win this year's Best Actress Oscar. Unlike our Best Actor category, it's difficult to predict who will be going home with the golden statue. Jennifer Lawrence has been gaining a lot of momentum in the past month, winning one award after another, but there's still four other actresses who can easily take the top spot at this year's...
Easily one of the most controversial selection of nominees for this year's Academy Awards has to be in the Best Director category. A number of fantastic directors were left out of the running, but those that remained were all well qualified to be in the group. The selection process may have been difficult for the Academy voters, but tonight they revealed which director stood out the most for...
It's finally Oscar Sunday, and many of us couldn't be happier. The town of Los Angeles has just been buzzing with anticipation all week as we all quietly make bets over who will win at this year's 85th Annual Academy Awards. Now the winners will finally be announced and we hope there's a couple of upsets in the mix. If the likes of Ben...
This weekend we're finally going to find out who will be awarded a shiny new Oscar for their outstanding work in Hollywood. You can cross your fingers, hoping your favorites will go home with the trophy under their arms but it's going to be a close race. The threat of an upset always looms overhead. Since we're all speculating over who could win on Sunday, I'll be running down my own list of...
Time certainly does fly. We're less than two weeks away from the Academy Awards and the last string of awards were just given out this past weekend. The Oscar race hasn't changed all that much, but further solidifies what you should expect when we watch the awards on February 24th.
After this past weekend the Best Picture Oscar race may be over. Ben Affleck's period thriller Argo has gained some more awards season momentum, catapulting the picture back in front. Many are speculating as to how much longer the second wave of Argo love may last, but we're here to investigate it this week on Oscar Scuttlebutt.
Well, the 2013 Sundance Film Festival has come to an end, and the award winners have been announced. From documentaries to fictional works, dark dramas to comedies, an eclectic grouping of films rose to the top of the fest, and we have the complete listing of winners below.
For the past couple of weeks we've been littered with news about a number of awards shows, but this may be the first week where we get a moment to breathe, despite the ongoing awards madness. As we prepare ourselves for another month's worth of craziness, we'd like to update you on the latest awards chatter and where you could go to see the Oscar nominated animated and live-action short films...
Pretty much unarguably one of the best films of last year was Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, though it was only nominated for one academy award -- that being best original screenplay (which was written by Anderson and Roman Coppola). Though its chances are slim, it is still campaigning, and one of the benefits of this campaign is the opportunity to read the...
Every year at the Golden Globes the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) honors actors, directors and films in ways that may not line up with the Oscars. After the Globes were announced, many are speculating that this could be the year of the great Oscar upset. Then there's Kathryn Bigelow, who is fighting on for her movie Zero Dark Thirty as the political critics continue to...
Well, the Golden Globes were tonight. That’s right, it was the night in which the Hollywood Foreign Press bestowed upon the stars of television and film a bunch of shiny awards that are a little more fun and less serious than the Academy Awards. And it was actually quite a memorable ceremony for once—from Jodie Foster giving a bracingly candid and charming acceptance speech for...
The past few hours have been exciting to say the least. Early this morning movie lovers were greeted by Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone as they announced the 2013 Academy Awards nominees. As usual, the internet completely blew up with mixed reactions on which lucky filmmakers and actors made the cut. Let's run down some of the best and worst of the nominations, along with some happy reactions...
It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, we're not referring to Christmas, but for Hollywood it's the closest thing to it. We're talking about none other than the 2013 Academy Awards. Each year movie editors, cinematographers, filmmakers and actors get their chance to win the Oscar. This year the race just got a little bit more interesting.
Right now it feels like awards season is repeatedly beating us over the head with news. The past three days have been chock full of nomination announcement news between the DGA Awards, the BAFTA's and even the Razzies. You just can't escape the awards season wave, but we're here to help you find out who's been showered with awards affection or snubbed on this week's Oscar Scuttlebutt.
It’s that time of year again—no, not the Academy Awards nominations (that’s tomorrow); rather, it’s time to find out who’s up for a Razzie. In a time-honored tradition (well, since, 1980), the Razzie nominations, honoring the absolute worst films of the year, are announced the day before the Oscar contenders. And the 33rd annual Razzie Awards, pinpointing the...
