Another strange year for awards shows, but at least the 2021 Academy Award (Oscars) nominations are more inclusive than previous…

It would appear that streaming giant Netflix maintain the ability to have their films be eligible for Oscar consideration, according to a new vote from the Academy. Perhaps you’ll recall the big stink raised when Alfonso Cuarón’s ROMA, which was released both theatrically and on Netflix, was nominated in all the major categories and won several of […]

Sir Elton John’s annual AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party took a musical turn with Taron Egerton joining the legend on stage for a duet on “Tiny Dancer”. Egerton is playing John in an upcoming biopic from Dexter Fletcher, who stepped in to complete Fox’s Bohemian Rhapsody following the firing of then-and-still-credited director Bryan Singer. Written by Lee Hall, Rocketman will cover […]

The 91st Annual Academy Awards just completed in Los Angeles, handing out the golden Oscars statues to the chosen recipients of the various categories celebrating the best of the past year in film, performance, and achievement. With no host this year, the telecast did pretty well time-wise; the various presenters did their duties and ushered […]

In yet another move that the Academy Awards is making because they think it’s a good idea- four main categories will be presented during a commercial break at the 91st Annual Academy Awards (aka Oscars).

After originally announcing only two of the five Best Original Song nominees would be performing their entries during the telecast, it appears The Academy has changed their minds. Previously, it seemed only “Shallow” from A Star Is Born and “All The Stars” from Black Panther would get live performances, which understandably prompted responses from the other nominees. […]

It’s been a week of stories about Bryan Singer. Earlier this week, The Atlantic published an expose about the filmmaker which included additional allegations of impropriety, namely alleged unwilling intimate advances by Singer towards then-underage young men. It’s a tough read, but The Atlantic claims to have undergone months of research and background before publishing the […]

Yesterday morning, the nominations were revealed for the 91st Annual Academy Awards. Among the Oscar nominations were, of course, leading actor and actress across the variety of films released in the 2018 film year. One of which happened to be Lady Gaga for Bradley Cooper’s directorial outing in A Star Is Born remake. Gaga posted to her Twitter […]

How great was Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse?! So great it garnered a Best Animated Feature Oscar nomination for the 2019 Academy Awards. Spider-Verse directors Bob Persichetti, Peter Ramsey, and Rodney Rothman spoke with Entertainment Weekly shortly after the nominations were read this morning (which you can read here): Entertainment Weekly: Historically, the Oscars have tended to […]

Hard to believe 2019 sees Sam Elliot’s first ever Oscar nomination, but here we are. Elliot was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role in Bradley Cooper’s remake of A Star Is Born, and we couldn’t agree more. The scene in particular that had everyone talking when the Golden Globe nominations came out (which […]
