Oscars Scuttlebutt Already?
In Hollywood it’s never too early to talk Oscar noms. Heck, since I saw Batman: The Dark Knight this summer, I’ve been predicting Heath Ledger will be up for a posthumous Supporting Actor nomination (if not a win!). Seems everyone’s out there talking Oscar.
On Tuesday of this week, the News and Observer had a lengthy […]
Road Trippin’
So here I am on I-95 heading north in Virginia on my way to Massachusetts for the weekend. Yeah, I know - CRAZY! The trip will take us about 12-14 hours up…and 12-14 hours back. At the very least, it’s taken 11 1/2 hours or at the most, 16 hours. Crazy. But, my headin’ home […]
My 2007 Oscar Recap
Well, the 2007 Oscars came off without a hitch…except for the poor scripting provided for second time host, Jon Stewart. He was trying so hard to be funny. Of course, I couldn’t tell if he was left with minimal writing to work with as a product of the Strike and they didn’t have enough time to […]
It’s Oscar Weekend!
All of Tinseltown, the critics (professional and arm-chair alike), the gossip mongers, and let’s not forget the fashionistas are abuzz with the latest on the preparations for the BIG night. The Writer’s Strike has finally come to a close. So, Jon Stewart should be well-rehearsed for his duties as host of the show. The busy […]
Gone Before His Time
I usually don’t post twice in one day and I certainly don’t like to post this kind of subject matter shortly after such a positive post as was detailed in my Oscar nominations piece. However, the news of the death of a promising young actor warranted me to post again.
Heath Ledger, 28, best known for his Academy […]
The Oscars Are Coming…or Are They?
I wish I could say that I’m excited for the Oscar nominations this year but it’s hard to be when even the possibility of a traditional Hollywood gala hangs in the balance. But, with that being said, I found myself glued to the Today Show this morning, once again, as they gracioiusly captured the nominations […]
Did We HAVE a Golden Globes Last Night?
Well, yes, but it wasn’t your typical high-fashion-Hollywood-actor-dominated event. As a matter of fact, the Globes were actually given out by various high-profile Entertainment reporters from the likes of Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, etc. Weird. Many of the presenters even said as much at the podium - “Never in a million years did I imagine…..”
Yes, […]
The Golden Globes Announced!
The Golden Globe Nominations were just announced on NBC’s Today Show. Two of the films that I have seen and reviewed, American Gangster and Michael Clayton, received Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Performance by an Actor nods for Denzel Washington and George Clooney, respectively. No surprise, really. The Hollywood Foreign Press tends to lean […]
American Gangster - Wait for the Video
Last weekend I couldn’t WAIT to get to my Blog to review Gone Baby Gone. This weekend - not the same effect, unfortunately. As a matter of fact, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t much into blogging (I think I needed a bit of a break.). Well, add to that my reaction to the movie I […]
Did I Call It or What?
The first movie I have reviewed for this Blog has been listed in Hollywood.com’s, 2007 Oscar Watch: The Best Picture Race. Great minds think alike, huh?
At about this time every year, the Hollywood.coms, Extras, ETs, etc. of the entertainment world begin predicting which movies they feel have potential for an oscar nod (or […]
