It's been a week of stories about Bryan Singer. Earlier this week, The Atlantic published an expose about the filmmaker which included additional

Yesterday morning, the nominations were revealed for the 91st Annual Academy Awards. Among the Oscar nominations were, of course, leading actor and

Film genres are too far spread to fall within two categories. Here is an op-ed to the Academy about why they should expand to include sci-fi and fantasy.

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 overlook superhero[...]

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

This morning, the 91st Academy Award nominations in all 24 Oscar® categories were announced by Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross in a two-part live presentation. The 2019 Oscars nominees are- Actor in a Supporting Role: Mahershala Ali for Green Book Adam Driver for BlackKklansman Sam Elliott for A Star Is Born Richard E Grant for  Can You Ever Forgive Me Sam[...]

Those presentations would then air as an edited, pre-recorded package towards the end of the broadcast – leaving many in the technical fields feeling disrespected and unappreciated. So now, AMPAS is going without a host–or hosts–forgoing the traditional format and instead having "A-list" presenters introduce a number of themed segments throughout the show. Variety reports the AMPAS[...]

There will also be a number of "starry skits" that will play off the film music that was nominated (here's hoping Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star Is Born get nominated), It's definitely an interesting direction to go in a year that saw music taking a more prominant role in film – but it's still a gamble[...]

I'm a good person, I love to love; if you don't see that, then it's a problem with you." Currently, this year's ceremony is without a host – with the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) and ABC leaning toards having multiple hosts throughout the ceremony, working smaller time periods during the broadcast. In early December 2018, Hart went[...]

With the 2020 elections right around the corner and Trump's expected run for re-election, his involvement in the "Central Park 5" case will definitely become a topic of national debate once again.

As for the old tweets, Hart made the case that he has grown as a person since that time and was no longer the "immature comedan" who wrote those posts. DeGeneres would let Hart escape the issue, even addressing how his decision to not host feeds into the wants and desires of social media trolls: "They (the[...]

In today's episode of 'As The Oscars Turn' (which is an out-dated soap opera reference but you know where we're going with this)… Following up on comments made during his interview with Ellen DeGeneres on her syndicated talk show on Friday, actor/comedian/still-possible Oscars host Kevin Hart took to Instagram to continue making the case that he[...]

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[...]

It has been a strange two days for the 91st annual Academy Awards aka the Oscars After announcing actor Kevin Hart as the host of the televised event, some not-so-great things came to light.

A pretty damn impressive crop of animated films, 25 to be exact, are entering into Academy Awards / Oscars competition for the 2018 season. The list is pretty diverse, which is nice.  You can see the list of 25 hopefuls here: Ana y Bruno Dr Seuss' The Grinch Early Man Fireworks Have a Nice Day Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation Incredibles 2 Isle of[...]

In a not truly surprising move, the Academy of Motion Pictures has chosen to drop the newly minted "popular film" category from the 91st Annual Academy Awards oscars ceremony. The announcement initially of this new category was met with outright disbelief by many in the industry; why the need to present such a one-sided award when[...]

Black Panther himself, Chadwick Boseman, appeared on The Hollywood Reporter Awards Chatter podcast about BP's Oscar chances and the Popular Film category.

Mere days after The Academy announced major changes coming to the 2019 and 2020 Oscars, The Razzies have written a letter to the awards ceremony.

Hope everyone likes awards shows, because the Academy has announced some big changes to The Oscars are coming.

There was also the reveal of a brand-new category,[...]

With 117 million subscribers and its ability to both buy and develop content, Netflix has proven itself to be a growing influential force throughout every corner of the multimedia landscape -- which is why the streaming service's policy towards adding "inclusion riders" is catching a number of people by surprise.

Sure, there are several other issues (monopoly, anyone?) that can and will stem from such a large business deal, but Searchlight was the big one for the film division. The Fox Searchlight studio prides itself on finding special films with special storytelling, and obviously that pride was well rewarded at the Oscars this year. The Shape of[...]

The 90th Annual Academy Awards ceremony has come and gone, the Oscars have been handed out, and thankfully host Jimmy Kimmel didn't have to weather another EnvelopeGate storm. That said, on Monday morning it was widely reported that the ceremony had brought in the lowest Oscars ratings since the Nielsen ratings had been utilized.

Now we're sure you woke up Sunday morning thinking, "Gee, I hope Bleeding Cool lets us know when and where we can watch tonight's Academy Awards red carpet and show." As if that wasn't bad enough, it was probably followed up with an even more pressing concern: "Wait a minute! How can I watch the[...]

Even AMC's The Walking Dead finds itself facing a foe that's tough to defeat; and it looks like the combined might of Rick (Andrew Lincoln), Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Michonne (Danai Gurira) – with an army of walkers at their sides – can't overcome this one: the Oscars. Because tonight's the night when Hollywood dislocates[...]
