I came up with the idea of the F*** It! List, a variation on a bucket list, almost eight years ago, when I was going through some particularly rough treatment for cancer. Read some of the awesome geeky things I'd like to do before I kick the bucket, and then tell me about yours!

The 90-minute Oscars pre-show is set for 6:30 p.m ET/3:30 p.m PT; and will include live coverage from the red carpet; interviews with nominees, presenters, and performers; and behind-the-scenes moments from the Dolby Theatre.

It was with this account in mind that, when I hosted the Oscars in 2013, I couldn't resist the opportunity to take a hard swing in his direction Make no mistake, this came from a place of loathing and anger. There is nothing more abhorrent and indefensible than abuse of power such as this I respect[...]

PricewaterhouseCoopers, the firm responsible for tallying the Oscar ballots and delivering the envelopes containing the winners, has apologized for

Well, that's an Oscars for the history books Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway announce La La Land for Best Picture — but it's a mistake  The envelope apparently contains the winner for Best Actress (Emma Stone, for La La Land), instead of Best Picture  Watching the video with the benefit of hindsight, it's clear that Beatty[...]

Well the big night is finally here, tinsel town is out in it's finest. Soon the awards ceremony itself will be kicking off and we'll find out if the

The Michael Bay helmed war drama, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, has found itself in a crossfire of a very different sort on this Academy

Well it's just about time for the Oscars once again If you're like us, you've got no end of opinions as to who should take home the little gold guys, and who you think who will win We decided that it'd be fun to invite all of you to do a bit of prognosticating, and to[...]

The awards season has a reputation for being stuck up and so pretentious that there is an entire genre of film dedicated to winning pretty golden statues.

Was this a protest against Oscars or butts? — Fabian Nicieza (@FabianNicieza) January 6, 2017 Well, he does have a point. Veteran comic book writer Fabian Nicieza hit the Liefeld lottery when he joined superstar artist Sir Robert Liefeld on creating Deadpool instead of a janitor However, it seems that Nicieza and the Merc with a Mouth[...]

Last year we had the OscarSowhite rhetoric … This year seems to be different We have all these films like Moonlight, Birth Of A Nation … The politics that happen during this time is always interesting There are discussions like Manchester By The Sea may be interesting to some people, but it's not inclusive or[...]

ComicsPRO merged into the Oscars this weekend as Big Hero 6 walked away with Best Animated Movie, though Marvel's other movies managed to cannibalise each others votes and fail at the FX level Chris Claremont was watching too On Facebook, This is the first time I've ever watched the Academy Awards with some (admittedly *very* tiny)[...]
