Winners for the 2012 Oscars [Awards Results]
The 84th Annual Academy Awards took place on February 26th, 2012. Writers of this site and some of our devoted readers and listeners gathered together in the Widescreen Warrior chatroom to talk about the show as we watched it – a movement that illustrated the very theme of the show. Movies bring us together. They highlight the best things of life. They make us laugh and cry, and it’s an...
And the 2010 Oscar Nominees Are…
It’s that time of year again, as we reach the end of the Awards Season with the 2010 Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awards, aka the Oscars. While we leave most of the awards hoopla to the annual Oscar Waffle discussion on our forums, we’d be crazy not to highlight the Oscars on the main site. Here are the nominees, along with some commentary on the major categories.
This year the key...
Lighten Up Hollywood: Ricky Gervais and the Golden Globes
In case you missed it, the Golden Globe awards took place this weekend. You know, the awards that everyone tends to say “don’t count,” and that, “nobody takes them seriously”? Well, this year it looks like too many people took them far too seriously, as fallout continues to drift in from host Ricky Gervais’s barbs and jabs. Gervais, who returned after hosting the previous year as well,...
Weekly Blend #219 – Pre-Oscar Round Up 2010
It’s our annual pre-Oscar round up. Listen as Rafe, Margaret, and Jeff round up all the contenders and pick which movies they expect to take home awards next Sunday. Will the recent Hurt Locker controversy cost the movie its statue? Is ten selections for best picture too many? Just what is the value of Jeff’s life in a bet? All that, plus reviews of Cop Out are revealed in this week’s...
Weekly Blend #215 – A Super-Sized, Weather-Delayed, Computer Created Mess
Fans who tried to tune in during our live broadcast know we were facing some computer issues. Little did we know those issues were affecting our broadcast clock as well. What we ended up with is a broadcast that’s two days late thanks to the weather, with a cast that’s spread out in three different locations, and a show that’s fourteen minutes longer thanks to the computer. What a...
And the 2009 Oscar Nominees Are…
As I said yesterday, we haven’t paid a ton of attention to the various awards on the main site (although our friend Tony has done a great job of keeping track of them on our “super secret” forums which can be found here). The big awards for the industry are, of course, the Oscars, and we’d be foolish not to pay them some attention. So here’s our take on the various nominations, announced...
Weekly Blend #211 – Merry Christmas 2009
Snow may have delayed this week’s episode, but we’re all still having a jolly time, especially with the looming white Christmas in front of us. This week we talk James Cameron’s Avatar, continue our appreciation of Cameron with Titanic and Ghosts of the Abyss, discuss Brittany Murphy’s death, and the Golden Globe nominations. We sincerely hope all of our listeners have a wonderful...
Coming Sunday: Live Blogging the Emmys
This weekend we’re going to try our hand at something new… well, new for us. We’ll be Live Blogging the Emmy Awards ceremony, which airs on CBS, Sunday night at 8pm.
Now, I won’t make any promises to be anywhere near as entertaining as Neil Patrick Harris, which is the real reason most of us will be watching this year’s awards ceremony. I don’t have any prizes to give away like other sites...
Nominees for 2009 Emmy Awards Announced
The 2009 Emmy nominations have been announced, and it’s a good year for 30 Rock once again. The sitcom series leads the pack with 22 nominations in a variety of categories, and putting in a prominent appearance in all of the main comedy categories.
Like the Oscars, the Emmys have changed some of their rules as well. Unlike last year, nominees were decided entirely by popular vote, and there are...
MTV Movie Awards Add More Exclusive Footage
We told you the other day that the MTV Movie Awards were going to be the place to catch your first look at the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon. It looks like that won’t be the only new movie clip to be revealed the night of May 31st. A couple other movies from this year are joining up with clips to be introduced by their own cadre of celebrity cast members.
MTV has released information that reveals...
