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 the[...]

Case-in-point? Tonight's Academy Awards broadcast on ABC, which will be running up against the long-running horror-drama series To be clear, it won't be much of a competition because (A) it's the Oscars, even if it is a dumpster fire; and (2) The Walking Dead doesn't "do" same-day ratings anymore, anyway. Still, we have to appreciate the[...]

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).

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[...]

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[...]
