An Evening at the 2012 ACE Eddie Awrds

Until this year, the only big time film industry awards show I had ever been to was the Independent Spirit Awards and it’s been almost 10 years since the last time – and who can forget Elvis Costello’s “surprise” opening of the show with (“What’s So Funny ’bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding?”). I had never [...]

Golden Globes: Final Tally

So I did reasonably well. 18-7. Woody tripped me up, my only wrong guess on the film side, going 13-1 but I went 5-6 on the TV side.

Ooops.

Separated at Birth?

Tilda Swinton and David Bowie, time shifted by 29 years. Thanks for the Photoshopping to John Bernstein!

Golden Globes, Hour Three: 7pm - 8pm

Thanks for joining me in my Tweet/blog of the Golden Globes and tune in on Thursday as I start in on the 2012 Sundance Film Festival!

7:58 – Ricky Gervais puts a final touch on an uneven night by a last minute mention of the largesse of the evening and how that doesn’t really jibe [...]

Golden Globes, Hour One: 6pm - 7pm

6:50 – Ok, two-thirds of the way in and Ricky better up his game. He’s been shockingly tame. And MIA.

6:48 – Shockingly, I have no opinion on The Help, since I haven’t seen it, yet. If Disney wants to send me a screener, I’ll watch it. (Hint. Hint.)

6:42 – Can we please issue [...]

Golden Globes, Hour One: 5pm - 6pm

5:53 – My 1st hour scorecard? 5-3. That’s pretty piss poor.

5:52 – Yay! Even Madonna gets played off!

5:48 – Am I wrong in thinking that playing off a non-English speaker because it takes him longer to get the words out in his second language is in bad taste?

5:47 – Another no-brainer, but [...]

Golden Globes Pre-Show

Tonight I’ll be blogging the Globes live and splitting my posts into 3 1 hour blocks. Check back often!

4:48pm, PST: Am I crazy or was that Paragard commercial terrifying?

2012 Golden Globes Predictions

Here’s where I go out on a predictatory (yes, I know it’s not a word, but it should be) limb for the first time this awards season and posit who I think will win each award and sometimes why. Check back here on Sunday, as I update this page live and keep a running tally [...]

An Impossibly Super Lost Trek Inside (and on top of) Bad Robot

One of the great things about awards season is that studios and production companies, at least the cool ones, come up with creative and entertaining ways to draw attention to their films that often also celebrate the art of those films. On Saturday I was privileged enough to be invited to one of these events [...]
