See, it is literally impossible to make Dakota Johnson memorable in any way whatsoever. Read more

Right; I meant to include a mention of that! Sorry. And yes, I don't even think they know what the hell they want to do when it comes to the actual legal aspects of their lawmaking efforts. I think they just want to be filmed screaming about how anti-abortion they are so they can raise lots of money from their base… Read more

Is it the other Revenge? Everything I saw said it was the teevee show. I'll update it if that's so. Thank you! Read more

I'm telling you guys, you only need to watch the first 1.5 seasons of that show before you start to realize that it dies a slow, painful death from then on. Read more

You should put that in an OK Cupid profile or something. Read more

It is not hate-watching Storage Wars is a very informative show about bargains and how they are sometimes found in storage units that other people will try to outbid you on. I have learned so much and grown, TBH. Read more

Exactly; thank you. It's unpatriotic, dammit. Read more

But I need my Hemingway boner to type! UGH. Read more

Exactly right on the "fatigue" point. They are going to want to spread some of the Oscar love around that the Supporting Actress category is where they'll do it. That's why I think she could get snubbed for Keira. The Academy loves giving Oscars to classically trained Brits when they can. Read more

He'll get there one day. He has A LOT of bad karma in that town to work off, I think. Read more

Yeah, but that's not why things get nominated (sorry guys, it's not). They get nominated because they made money or have great campaigns behind them, period. So with all of that going for GG, I don't get how it's shut out. That is weeeeeeeird. Read more

Denzel, Russell Crowe, Hanks, etc. they all got that extra edge at voting time because voters want to reward them for being huge earners. Clooney, too. They love to say "thank you for making us rich and also being a great actor." Read more

The only thing that hurts the actors in Foxcatcher at awards time is how poorly reviewed it was. When you are picking between two great actors, the tie breaker can sometimes be how good the film was. And I guarantee you most of the Academy voters probably won't have actually seen either of those films when they are… Read more

I am more than aware of the Oscar betting circuit. ::shamefully sweeps dirty past under the rug:: Read more

You know what Cumberbatch needs to do to win an Oscar? He needs to make Hollywood a lot of money—if he has a role in a film that's a huge box office hit he'd walk away with the next Oscar nomination he gets for whatever indie film he picks. You can bet that's why he took the Dr. Strange role. That will make a ton of… Read more

Most of Big Eyes was shut out too, which is really disappointing. Read more

Oscar nominees do themselves great favors when they have kickass cred like that. Think of Chris Cooper—he was a great actor who worked steadily, had a lot of respect, etc. They love giving that Supporting Actor award to solid work horses in the business. As opposed to Supporting Actress which they tend (or used to… Read more

I'm surprised that song from the new Hunger Games movie that Jennifer Lawrence sang isn't up there—Academy voters love shit like that. Read more

BLERGH. I mean to say American Sniper. That is one and only award they will give that film. That will take the old white dude war vet sentimentality award. Read more

Whoever is behind the marketing for Interstellar and the soundtrack is launching a massive campaign for that to win right now. Think about how many "wow the Interstellar soundtrack is so amazing" posts you've seen on blogs and Facebook. They have been pushing it out there big time and it's working beautifully. Read more
