In a decidedly rare interview, Jay-Z has opened up about his general feelings toward the Grammys, including his specific thoughts on Beyoncé’s Renaissance deserving the 2023 Album of the Year distinction. Speaking with Elliott Wilson, Tidal’s chief content officer, Jay was asked to detail why he believed the widely acclaimed album deserved to take him […]

As fans knew going into Sunday night’s Grammys ceremony, Beyoncé stood to make history with her slew of Renaissance nominations. Now, she’s done exactly that. Before the halfway point of the ceremony, Beyoncé had tied Georg Solti’s record 31 wins thanks to her win for “CUFF IT” in the Best R&B Song category. Later in […]

“God Did” was brought to the Grammys stage on Sunday night. As promised mere days before the Trevor Noah-hosted Recording Academy ceremony, Jay-Z joined DJ Khaled and more for the performance of the song, which serves as the title track to last year’s God Did album. Also hitting the stage were Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, […]

It’s time for a new class of Grammy winners to be unveiled. As fans are well aware, Beyoncé stood as this year’s most-nominated artist with Renaissance-spurred appearances in nine categories, while Kendrick Lamar—whose Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers was one of 2022’s most widely acclaimed releases—amassed eight nods. “Celebrating the miracle of music is […]

While Steven Spielberg is “encouraged” by the presence of Top Gun: Maverick and Avatar: The Way of Water in this year’s nominees class for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, he still wishes the expanded 10-movies category could have included The Dark Knight years ago. The bump up to 10 went into effect back in 2009, […]

The awards season comes fully into focus this morning with the unveiling of the 2023 Oscar nominations. As the Academy revealed earlier this month, 301 feature films were eligible for recognition this year. For eligibility to apply, a feature film must have opened in what’s defined as a “commercial motion picture theater” in at least […]

As host Jerrod Carmichael went through his Golden Globes monologue, one couldn’t help but wonder what the Hollywood Foreign Press Association thought of what they were witnessing.  Multiple sources tell the Hollywood Reporter that Helen Hoehne, president of the same organization that allowed Ricky Gervais to publicly criticize them and everyone in attendance on five separate occasions, was left “shocked and upset” […]

Sheryl Lee Ralph was unfiltered with her responses at the 2023 Golden Globes.  While walking the red carpet, Ralph was asked if she had a message to tell her younger self. The Abbott Elementary star praised her natural features before throwing shade at the Kardashians. “There’s nothing wrong with your nose,” began the 66-year-old’s encouragement to […]

Jerrod Carmichael made a reference to Whitney Houston’s death as part of his hosting gig at the 2023 Golden Globes, and the late singer’s estate isn’t happy about it. “Alright you guys, we are back, we are pressed for time but they wanted me to shout out the venue we’re in,” said Carmichael after a commercial break during […]

Following extended Hollywood Foreign Press Association controversies, which notably resulted in a subdued unveiling of winners for the 2022 edition, the Golden Globes returned to the broadcast arena on Tuesday with host Jerrod Carmichael. Carmichael, whose directorial debut On the Count of Three is very much worth your time and is now available, was announced as […]
