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[...]

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[...]

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[...]

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.

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.

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[...]

Themed cocktails are all the rage on social media, and we thought maybe an Oscars list of adult beverages based on Best Picture nominated films would be perfect for the 90th Annual Academy Awards Even though the easily found "2018 Oscars Drinking Game" results are disappointing, we're hoping maybe one or three themed drinks might[...]
