New Academy Awards Trailer with Megan Fox and Josh Duhamel Reminds Us that Eddie Murphy is NOT Hosting
It seems like it was only yesterday that Brett Ratner slurred his way out of being the Academy Awards producer…and it was that same yesterday that Eddie Murphy flaked on being the host. Well, fear not because here’s the first trailer for the Feb. 26 telecast of the 84th Annual Academy Awards featuring Robin Williams,...
Oscars search for a new host that audiences can complain about
Yesterday, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, news sites, town criers, and carrier pigeons delivered news about Eddie Murphy stepping down as host of the Oscars. This news came shortly after Brett Ratner resigned as producer because of his gaycist ways. Apparently the two are homies so the news wasn’t that surprising. However, I am kind of upset...
The Oscar Worth of The Ides of March
Yesterday, I saw a screening of political thriller, The Ides of March (stay tuned for a review later this week) and realized that, in addition to Gosling swag, this movie is stuffed with so much thespian wattage that it is destined for an Academy Award nomination or two. For instance, Ryan Gosling has received an...
Geist Infection: Seeing Red
I’ll bypass the obvious things that are drunkenly wandering around in the pop culture geist such as the whole Charlie Sheen circus, X-tina’s public intoxication, Gaga’s egotistically moist music video, and John Galliano’s anti-semitic tirade that got him dethroned from the house of Dior. But forget all that — it’s all about RED. No, I’m...
The Best Tweets About the Academy Awards

Live tweeting the Academy Awards (also called the Oscars just in case you didn’t know) is all the rage! That said, I wanted to share some of the most brilliant...
Geist Infection: Oscar Snubs
Golden Globes, SAG Awards, Razzies, cornucopia of Guild awards that no one really pays attention to — for the love of God will the Awards season just END? Actually, I don’t mind it — especially the Academy Awards. What makes me most interested are the “snubs” that people write about. I like how websites, reporters...

Oscar movie check-off list 02-09-10
Over the weekend I knocked out two more Oscar buzz movies off my list! The Tolstoyan drama The Last Station had me in its orbit as soon as I saw Helen Mirren. Actually, it had me as soon as she said the word “cock”. As for A Serious Man – it was so Coen brother-y;...
Oscar movie check-off list 02-03-10
Didn’t hate it. Didn’t love it. But I was extremely hungry for baked goods after. Streep plays a baker and the pastries she made gave me the ultimate tummy erection. However – I did feel a bit awkward during that “disrobing” scene…and the scene where she was in the bathtub. But damn…those chocolate croissants made...
