Several Twitter users have now been asking fellow Twitter users to rank their favorite Oscar winning acting performances of this decade. The 2010s. Or is it just the 10s? No one really talks about the 1910s. They just say, “The early 1900s.” The decade numbers really begin with the 1920s – a.k.a. “The Roaring Twenties”. […]
For the first time in 30 years, the Oscars had no host. And it definitely offered a different vibe. Without someone to go back to every once in a while, this viewer simply had to hang on for the ride. It’s like when a teacher calls in sick and gives a substitute a lesson plan […]

So much has been discussed about this year’s Oscars that it’s not worth re-iterating. The host-less show will be what it is. Surprise wins are key for making a memorable three-ish hour telecast. Maybe Richard E. Grant or six-time nominee Amy Adams will shake-up the Supporting races. The Screenplay categories are anyone’s game. Rami Malek […]
When it comes to this year’s Oscar Nominated Animated Short Films presentation, The Academy and Shorts.TV, which distribute this to select theaters nationwide, took the word “short” literally. The five nominees are shown, of course, though they only add up to 55 minutes. Normally, a handful of other contenders are added to the program to […]
This year’s Oscar Nominated Animated Short Films are some of the finest in recent years. ‘Animal Behaviour’ is directed by Alison Snowden and David Fine, who won in this category nearly 25 years ago for ‘Bob’s Birthday’. ‘Bao’ is the Pixar entry, from the first-ever female director of a Pixar short, Domee Shi. ‘Late Afternoon’ […]
The Academy Awards was once a major TV event. Now, it’s barely hanging on. From 1986 to 2007, an average of 43 million people watched the Oscars each year. In 2008, the show hit a low (at the time) of 31 million viewers. It then increased steadily every year over the next 6 years before […]
