When one covers Hollywood, there's a certain level of cynicism that comes into play considering its inconsistent history. Before we get into that let's give credit where it's due with the Film Academy recognizing Bong Joon-Ho's Parasite as Best Picture in the 2020 Oscars. Could anyone else picture a contemporary foreign language film 5-10 years […]

AMC understands – as most of us do – that "Oscar Night" is one of those times when television kinda' sits off to the sides and lets film have its day in the sun. But that doesn't mean they're above using the ocassion to have a little fun by offering The Walking Dead, Better Call […]

AFI, or the American Film Institute if you are not familiar, have released their list of the top 10 films for 2019. This is their list of films that AFI deems "culturally significant". The yearly list is one of many that awards pundits point to for early indicators of what films will be favorites heading […]
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 […]
With the official Twitter page for USA Network's Mr. Robot being more and more active and cryptic, hopefully a release date for the final season of Mr. Robot is on the horizon – especially now that the show has Academy Award-winning actor Rami Malek in the lead.

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 […]
Leave it to AMC's The Walking Dead to practice what it preaches on camera and off. 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; […]
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). There are 4 categories total that have been deemed unworthy of the general broadcast awards and we're kind of surprised- […]
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.

So with the way we see things here at Bleeding Cool–as we peer into our "Great Magic 8 Ball of Doom" to see what's coming down the pop culture highway–we figure by the time you read this that 2 out of every 3 people will have their own streaming service as we slide down the slippery […]
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.
