Eminem made a surprise appearance at this year’s Academy Awards where he performed “Lose Yourself,” which he won the award for Best Original Song in 2003. Before taking the stage, Lin-Manuel Miranda introduced a video package of previous winners in the Best Original Song category. It seemed like something was up when there was an extended clip of “Lose Yourself” from the […]
Joaquin Phoenix earned his first Academy Award on Sunday night for his titular role in Todd Phillip’s Joker. The 45-year-old won the Best Actor category against Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Adam Driver (Marriage Story), Antonio Banderas (Pain & Glory), and Jonathan Pryce (The Two Popes). “I do not feel elevated above any of my […]
Adam Sandler just walked away with the Best Male Lead prize at the 2020 Spirit Awards. And his acceptance speech was very on brand. The 53-year-old actor secured the award for Uncut Gems, in which he portrayed the gambling-addicted New York jeweler Howard Ratner. Though the A24 film had generated serious awards season buzz, it was ultimately snubbed […]
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 […]
It’s probably fair to assume that Adam Sandler wasn’t getting a whole lot of award show practice following the releases of Pixels, The Ridiculous 6, and, well, we’ll just leave it at “others.” But that didn’t stop Conan O’Brien from busting his balls after he botched basic award show procedure by advancing to the stage […]
On Wednesday night, Parasite director Bong Joon-Ho received the award at the African American Film Critics Association Awards for best foreign film (perhaps a prelude to an Oscar?), and then he used his acceptance speech to charm the crowd with an anecdote about how Spike Lee taught him to properly swear in English. That’s the magic […]
Recently suspended Recording Academy president and CEO Deborah Dugan, who was the first woman to hold the title, says the voting system for the Grammys is “rigged.” In charge of discrimination documents filed with the Los Angeles district office for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Dugan alleged exactly how the Grammys voting process is “ripe [sic] […]
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 […]
Following the acquisition of his SAG Award for “Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role in a Motion Picture,” due to his performance as Joker in Joker, Joaquin Phoenix only briefly attended an after party before quickly bailing to attend a demonstration for animal rights, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Stating that […]
Ariana Grande has apparently squashed her beef with the Grammys. On Saturday afternoon, the singer-songwriter took to social media to announce her performance at this year’s ceremony. The Recording Academy confirmed the news in a subsequent blog post. Grande’s performance is especially notable because of previous conflict with Grammys’ longtime executive producer Ken Ehrlich. The 26-year-old artist was billed […]
