There are 4 categories total that have been deemed unworthy of the general broadcast awards and we're kind of surprised- Make[...]

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.

With more actors/characters added to the franchise, an on-stage Oscars shindig could end up a pretty crowded affair–if ABC, AMPAS, and Disney's marketing division have their way. At the time of this post, AMPAS has yet to comment on the reports –which may in large part have to do with additional reporting that the details on[...]

Looks like The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) and Kevin Hart are finally on the same page about something… Following up on actor/comedian Hart's comments on ABC's Good Morning America Wednesday morning confirming he would not host the 2019 Academy Awards, AMPAS has announced that it will be going without a host – or[...]

As if there's any such thing as "definitive" in the entertainment industry… But this time there might just be, as actor/comedian Kevin Hart confirmed that he would not host the 2019 Academy Awards during an interview Wednesday morning with ABC's Good Morning America co-host Michael Strahan Though appearing on the morning news/talk show to promote his new film[...]

At least it didn't stretch out too long… Looks like the on-again/off-again tango between actor/comedian Kevin Hart and the 2019 Academy Awards is officially off for good (???), with reports circulating that Hart stepped away from re-consideration as host, less than 48 hours after Ellen DeGeneres made public her efforts to have Hart reinstated[...]

Actor/comedian/still-possible Oscars host Kevin Hart took to Instagram to make the case he's grown and changed since his homophobic tweets from years ago.

Let's just put it out there: the Oscars reps at The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences (AMPAS) and ABC are probably going on righteously long vacations after the 2019 Academy Awards airs on Sunday, February 24th The jury is still out on which matter The Academy and network handled worse: let's not forget[...]
