The 2020 Emmys are officially going virtual. Variety obtained a letter sent to this year’s nominees, informing them that the ceremony will be held inside their respective homes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. While the memo from Emmy host Jimmy Kimmel and the show’s executive producers indicates that details are still forthcoming, it seems like they could be envisioning something of a live format, based on their desire to capture […]

Da 5 Bloods, Spike Lee’s 21st joint available on Netflix starting today, is many things: brutal war film, tense meditation on African-Americans’ unrequited service to their country, a display of the joys of black brotherhood and a portrait of a failed fatherhood. It’s a tour de force, one that proves Lee doesn’t just still have […]

On Sunday, we’re going to find out if the Academy will award Parasite with Best Picture, a feat that has never been accomplished before by a non-English language film at the Oscars. However, if one member of the 8,469-member voting body clues us into a majority of the group’s overall thinking, then it’s clear that we sadly have a long […]

By my math, a grand total of eight Canadian artists were nominated for Grammy Awards in 2020. And while some are already mainstays on the Grammy circuit—looking at you, Drake and Bublé—the 62nd annual Grammy Awards will see up-and-coming Canuck artists like Jessie Reyez (receiving her first-ever nomination) and Daniel Caesar (defending his 2019 Best […]

Joaquin Phoenix took home the award for Best Actor in a Drama Motion Picture at the Golden Globes Sunday night, and he received a standing ovation. However, shortly after the awards took place, some Twitter users noticed that Beyoncé wasn’t among those standing for Phoenix, who won the award for his role as Arthur Fleck […]

Shia LaBeouf walked away with the Breakthrough Screenwriter honor at the Hollywood Film Awards on Sunday night for his work on Honey Boy. The semi-autobiographical film, which he wrote and stars in as his own father, tackles his troubled childhood and difficulties becoming a young adult actor. Honey Boy also indirectly depicts a few infamous moments from LaBeouf’s career, […]

February has been hell month: with the Super Bowl, the Grammys, and All-Star Weekend touching down on subsequent Sunday evenings, it’s been a miracle that we’ve been able to keep up with this season of True Detective. As February comes to a close, we have one more night of appointment television to consume: the 91st Academy […]

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has, after receiving major pushback, decided to broadcast the awards for Cinematography, Film Editing, Live Action Short, and Makeup and Hairstyling live and not during commercial breaks, Deadline reports.  Thank you @TheAcademy ! #Oscars2019 https://t.co/oCNna7FHYu — Haley Joel Osment (@HaleyJoelOsment) February 15, 2019 “The Academy has heard the feedback […]

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has responded to criticism they received from a long list of directors, cinematographers, and filmmakers that signed an open letter slamming the news that the awards for cinematography, editing, hair and makeup, and live action short would not be broadcast live.  People like Spike Lee, Quentin Tarantino, Seth Rogen, Martin Scorsese, Cary Joji Fukunaga, Spike […]

Pusha-T, Complex’s 2018 Best Rapper Alive, took to Twitter the day after the 61st Annual Grammy Awards to offer his thoughts on it all.  He congratulated Cardi B on her win for Best Rap Album, the same category his Daytona album was nominated in, and said that he “had an amazing Grammy experience.” Pusha also said that Cardi had […]
