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- […]
The Academy announced the first round of presenters for the 91st Annual Academy Awards Oscars ceremony this morning, and the list looks pretty good. Awkwafina, Daniel Craig, Chris Evans,Tina Fey, Whoopi Goldberg, Brie Larson, Jennifer Lopez, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph, Amandla Stenberg, Charlize Theron, Tessa Thompson, Constance Wu, Gustavo Dudamel and the LA Philharmonic (who […]
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. Previously, it seemed only "Shallow" from A Star Is Born and "All The Stars" from Black Panther would get live performances, which understandably prompted responses from the other nominees. […]
Tonight, the 25th Annual SAG (Screen Actors Guild) Awards are taking place, with host Megan Mullally. The 2019 SAG AFTRA event was televised by TBS, and we thought maybe you'd like to know who takes home the ACTOR statue as they get announced. Obviously, the event doesn't kick off til 5pm PST, but there was […]
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 […]
The 2019 Academy Awards announced their nominations and in light of the discussion of shocking choices and snubs, I propose another solution: expand the categories. The Academy provides the gold standard of filmmaking, but often it feels the categories provided don't represent the scope of the film industry like science fiction/fantasy films. While it's inspiring […]
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 […]
In a year when the Academy Awards had some embarrassing issues naming their official host for the 2019 Oscars ceremony, it seems like other awards shows are picking up the slack with their announcements. We had Sandra Oh host the Golden Globe Awards (along with Andy Samberg), Alicia Keys is hosting the Grammys, Megan Mullally is hosting the […]
It's nice to know some awards shows can do well picking a host for their televised event, like the 2019 Grammy Awards announcing that multi-Grammy winning artist Alicia Keys will have the honor this year. Maybe awards shows aren't your thing, and thats' totally fine! You don't have to like everything or watch everything, and we'll […]

It's been a pretty rough "pre-season" for ABC and The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS), to say the least. Even before the entire Kevin Hart/hosting debacle, AMPAS and the network had been dealing with serious backlash from all corners of filmdom when they attempted to add a new "popular film" category that […]
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 – […]
Awards Season is well and truly upon us, with the BAFTA nominations for 2019 being announced just this morning. Joanna Lumley (Absolutely Fabulous) will be returning to host the ceremony, having done so in 2018 after taking over the position from long-term host Stephen Fry. Here are the nominations as announced by the BAFTAs: BEST FILM BLACKkKLANSMAN […]
When you go on the network that hosts the show you're about to publicly state you no longer have any interest in hosting, it's pretty safe to say you're probably giving your definitve answer. As if there's any such thing as "definitive" in the entertainment industry… But this time there might just be, as actor/comedian Kevin […]
The kickoff event of the 2019 awards season just happened- The Golden Globes. Usually used a berometer for the upcoming events [Emmys, Oscars, etc.] the Golden Globes celebrate the best in film and television. The 2019 event was hosted by Sandra Oh (who was also nominated, and WON!) and Andy Samberg. Here is the list […]

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. As reported exclusively […]
