The 94th Oscars are here and make their return for the first time in two years to an in-person ceremony at the Dolby Theatre. In a perfect world, I’d start publishing updates in about an hour from now. However, the powers that be are screwing up the broadcast by treating eight categories like crap. We will not let them forget this disaster. It will not do anything to increase viewership. If anything, it is causing…

"94th Academy Awards Predictions – Oscars Watch"
While the traditional Oscar rules do not bode well for the film, CODA is starting to peak at exactly the right time ahead of the Oscars. The film critics have spoken and now the guilds are having their say in the matter. Both SAG and PGA gave the film’s awards campaign the biggest boost that it could get.

It’s too late for the upcoming Oscars telecast but ABC should give the Academy Awards a Super Bowl-esque pre- and post-show. ABC and the Academy need to stop messing with the main awards telecast.

The network isn’t going to get back their old viewership. One reason why is because audiences are…

"Oscars: Eight Awards To Be Tape-Delayed" Allowing fans to vote on Twitter up to twenty times a day for the Oscars Fan Favorite might just be the worst idea in the Academy’s history. Remember how they wanted to have a Best Popular Film Category a few years ago?

"Oscars Fan Favorite Award Is A Terrible Idea"
Spider-Man: No Way Home would take home a Popular Film Oscar in a heartbeat but the film was never getting a Best Picture nomination. You’re only kidding yourself if you thought it had a chance for Best Picture. It never did. The film might be emotional and full of fan service but at the end of the day, it was never getting a Best Picture nomination. I say this as a Marvel fan. A film…
"Spider-Man: No Way Home and the Oscars" As usual, there were a number of snubs when the Academy announced the Oscar nominations for the 94th Academy Awards. Let’s talk about the big one: Spider-Man: No Way Home. Many people were discussing the film being nominated for Best Picture but not me. It may have been the year’s most popular film but it didn’t launch early enough to really be in the conversation. FYC screenings started as far back as October if you…
