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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Sure, maybe the mere mention of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame makes you roll your eyes, and you would not be alone in that reaction. Hell, one of this year's inductees had that reaction last year, and it wasn't the first (nor probably the last). The 2019 Inductee class will include Radiohead, The Cure, Janet […]
