On Sunday, a bunch of famous people gathered in a large auditorium and patted themselves on the back for succeeding. They received awards for their work, offered to share those awards with their fellow workers, and then retreated to parties where they danced and drank and held their shiny statues. Thank god: Awards…
At some point during every award show, a famous person—often a famous person I like and perhaps even admire—will say something that sucks me out of the otherwise pleasant experience of watching celebrities congratulate each other for being good at their jobs. The moment involves said famous person (usually holding a…
Yes, Viola Davis won the Golden Globe for her role in Fences, not to be confused with HIDDEN FENCES.
The official boozy kickoff of Awards Season 2017 is here! Will host Jimmy Fallon make an A-lister throw a ball into a hoop, or lip sync to a Beastie Boys song? Will the whole thing be one long In Memoriam? Will La La Land win everything, or almost everything? Will I cause a scene because of it? Will Ruth Negga win…
Along with an unshakeable feeling of impending doom, awards season is finally here. The nominees have been announced for the 2017 Golden Globe Awards, the one where Hollywood film and television stars mingle, get dazzlingly drunk and deliver awkward politically correct speeches.
Beyoncé opened the 2016 BET Awards with a ferocious performance of “Freedom.”
After expressing frustration over this year’s all white Oscar nominees, the Academy’s president Cheryl Boone Isaacs is making moves to try to diversify its membership.
Everybody knows that play-at-home award show games are kind of like winning, anyway. And unlike winning an Oscar, you can go right ahead and do this in sweatpants without being made into a Fashion Police laughingstock.
The Hollywood Reporter has an interesting story about the #AskHerMore campaign. Started in February 2014 by The Representation Project, the campaign aims to encourage reporters to ask women on the red carpet better, and more interesting questions. Namely, to get interviewers to stop asking the time-honored question,…
Upworthy has compiled a super cut of actresses being asked solely about their clothing and weight. Perhaps being asked, "Who are you wearing?" is less offensive than some of the questions thrown ScarJo's way while promoting The Avengers. "Were you able to wear...undergarments?" some clueless interviewer asks. "You're…
Here's Amy Poehler and Tina Fey opening the Golden Globes mean girl bestie-style with a series of sick burns on the rich, famous, and drunk.
It's just an award show right? WRONG. I mean yes, you're right, but considering the amount of time, money and planning that goes into these events, it better be the best thing or the closest to best thing ever. And Monday night's 2014 Emmys was not the best thing ever. Not even close.
The geniuses at NBC, determined to systematically alienate every demographic in America, have moved the network's Emmy broadcast from its traditional Sunday evening time slot to Monday to make way for a football game. Apparently preseason football is more important than scripted TV's Super Bowl.
This year's Country Music Award nominees were announced on Tuesday, and, if a person were to judge the state of country music from the list — dominated by the likes of Kacey Musgraves, Miranda Lambert, and Taylor Swift — they'd probably think that maybe these women were getting country stations to play their damn…
Or actually, wait until after January 13th, because that's the day when the Only Women Who Understand Us, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, are set to host the Golden Globes! How great is that? It's so great that I'm currently struggling very hard to not write exclusively in all caps and exclamation marks. If I had my way,…
Well, this is depressing. After what seemed like 17 identical spasmodic performances and a Grammy award for Best R&B album, a contingent of Chris Brown's female fans took to Twitter last night to congratulate and compliment the famously punch-happy singer— by offering themselves up for celebratory beatings. And all on…
For an awards show without a host this year, the MTV Video Music Awards sure left us with a lot to talk about the next day: Lady Gaga spoke only as her alter (male) ego for the night (and almost kissed Britney Spears), Jonah Hill speaks about his dramatic weight loss, and Beyoncé and Jay-Z are having a baby. Catch…
LA, Jan. 29: Rose McGowan arrives at Entertainment Weekly's celebration honoring the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominees at Chateau Marmont.
Be there, or risk seriously disappointing Blair Underwood.
At some point, it became a thing for the host of an award show wear a different ensemble every time she hits the stage. Last night, Eva Longoria hosted the "prestigious" MTV Europe Music Awards, and fulfilled her presto-change-o requirements.
