Month: February 2022

Three years ago, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper wowed the Academy Awards audience as they performed their award-winning hit song “Shallow” onstage at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.  This year, the only thing shallow by the end of the night on March 27 will be their martini glasses at home. They were two of the biggest A-listers shut out of the 2022 Oscar nominations on Tuesday morning. The announcement was a spectacular school-marm-like repudiation of the popular kids.  Here’s who’s in detention. Gaga certainly assumed she’d be included in the Best Actress roster for “House of Gucci” alongside Oscars Terminator Olivia Colman (“The Lost  Daughter”), Nicole Kidman (“Being the Ricardos”), Jessica Chastain (“The Eyes of Tammy Faye”) a...

Jane Campion is making Oscars history.  The New Zealand writer-director is now the first woman to be nominated twice for the best director honors, picking up her second nod for "The Power of the Dog."  Campion's western psychological drama explores the tense conflict that ensues between a Montana rancher and his brother after his brother brings home a new wife and her teenage son. It leads the pack with 12 nominations including best picture, adapted screenplay, actor, supporting actor and actress, which will all be awarded March 27.  The film, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and Kodi Smit-McPhee, arrived on Netflix Dec. 1 after a short theatrical run.  Campion was also nominated in 1994 for "The Piano," a period drama that follows a mute piano p...

Update: GM's teaser campaign for its Super Bowl 2022 commercial is rolling along with yet another member of the Evil hierarchy making an appearance. Seth Green's character Scott Evil (who apparently regrew his hair since 'Austin Powers in Goldmember') still has daddy issues, emphatically proclaiming he's "an adult." How many more teasers will there be before the big game on February 13? Just when you thought the world was safe from evil, General Motors plans to "bring it back for good." Exactly what that means, we honestly don't know. But we do know GM is pumping all kinds of double meaning into the teaser video posted at the top of the article, featuring Dr. Evil himself played by Mike Myers. That's about all we can tell you right now. GM just dropped the short video featuring a ...

With two Academy Award bellwethers either postponed (as was the case with the Critics Choice Awards) or diminished (the Golden Globes happened in January but were tweeted, not televised), nominations for this year’s Oscars arrived on Tuesday to jump-start a sluggish season. The ceremony is slated to take place at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood on March 27, and will recognize movies released between March 1 and Dec. 31, 2021. See below for the full list of nominees. “The Power of the Dog” “West Side Story” Best Director Kenneth Branagh, “Belfast” Ryusuke Hamaguchi, “Drive My Car” Paul Thomas Anderson, “Licorice Pizza” Jane Campion, “The Power of the Dog” Steven Spielberg, “West Side Story” Best Actor Javier Bardem, “Being the Ricardos” Benedict Cumberbatch, “The Power of the Dog” And...

Pixar provided a fresh look at its Buzz Lightyear origin story with a trailer that introduces the rest of the cast — including a robot cat. Lightyear is a sci-fi action movie about the character Buzz Lightyear, not the toy, this time voiced by Chris Evans. The new trailer features some of his space ranger compatriots — voiced by Keke Palmer, Dale Soules, and Taika Waititi — along with Sox, a creepy robotic feline played by Peter Sohn. Now, the entire premise of Lightyear is a little confusing, and in a statement, director Angus MacLane tried to clear things up. “In Toy Story there seemed to be this incredible backstory to him being a Space Ranger that’s only touched upon, and I always wanted to explore that world further,” he explains. “So my Lighytear pitch was, ‘What was the movie...

Play video content Ark Media Micah Beals -- aka, Micah Femia -- was filmed this week harassing a couple guys on a NYC subway train over their mask-wearing ... and things got ugly quick. Check out the clip ... you see a man we're told is Beals, who has appeared on "Parks and Recreation" and other shows, sitting by himself on a bench before turning his attention to another man down the way -- taunting and insulting the guy over his face covering. The man seems to do a good job at ignoring Beals, but the dude persists in his barbs -- calling him a sheep, a "p***y" and then finally, a homophobic slur. Beals also appears to be d...

Prince Charles will move into Buckingham Palace when he becomes king – with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge potentially taking over Windsor Castle. In recent years there has been speculation that the official London residence of the monarch will become a 'working hub' for the monarchy, with no members of the Royal Family in residence, and opened up more to the public as a visitor attraction. But the Daily Mail understands that the Prince of Wales is 'firmly of the view that it's the visible symbol of the monarchy in the nation's capital and therefore must be his home'. 'There is no question about it,' a source revealed yesterday. 'HRH's view is that you need a monarch at monarchy HQ. This has never been in doubt.'  Prince Charles will move into Buckingham Palace whe...

"The Power of the Dog" led among nominated films with 12 nods. The drama's director, Jane Campion, made history by becoming the first woman to be nominated more than once for best director. (Her previous nod was for "The Piano.") Fellow directing nominee Steven Spielberg also set a new record. As producer of "West Side Story," which earned a total of seven nominations, Spielberg has now produced 11 films nominated for best picture, a new record for the Oscars. Denzel Washington extended the record he already holds as the most nominated Black actor, earning his tenth Oscar nomination for his performance in "The Tragedy of Macbeth." (One of his nominations was for producing.) The Academy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, March 27. See below for a full list of nominees. BEST PICTURE "...
