5:24: So, this is a “live” blog with quotation marks around it because I don’t really have somewhere important to be tonight for the Oscars. It’s not like I’m on the red carpet, or at the Vanity Fair party later. But, tune in if you are interested in hearing my running commentary (ranging anywhere, I’m [...]

With the 82nd Academy Awards airing this weekend (March 7th), there’s bound to be some memorable speeches as always. Maybe James Cameron will win and make a complete egotistical jackass of himself, or surely Gabourey Sidibe will give an amazing speech if she wins (fingers crossed!)

The Golden Globes last Sunday announced many awards, but the one most problematic for me was the “Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama” category.

The Oscars keep changin’ up their program. In 2010, The 82nd annual Academy Awards will have not one, but two hosts for the first time since 1987. Luckily, these two are none other than Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. But this isn’t the first big change the Academy has made to its next ceremony. Quite [...]
