Jimmy Kimmel is returning to the Oscar stage. The ABC late night host has signed on to host the 95th Oscars, marking his third time in the role. The announcement follows the Sept. 17 reveal that award show veterans Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner will be producing the ceremony. Their hiring signaled the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ commitment to having producers with “live TV expertise” back at […]
H.E.R. brought the themes and even subject of the film “Judas and the Black Messiah” into the performance of her Oscar-nominated song “Fight for You” on the Academy Awards’ pre-show telecast, “Into the Spotlight,” Sunday. The singer-songwriter started the number off at a drum kit before moving out in front of her band, soon joined by a large phalanx of beret- (and mask-) wearing dancers styled to resemble the Black […]
The coronavirus pandemic is continuing to wreak havoc around the world with new outbreaks daily and no end in sight. It also is upending the industry’s awards seasons. As TV and movie production begins to ramp up ever so slowly, the Television Academy on Monday announced changes for this year’s Emmy shows, while at the same time later today the Motion Picture Academy’s board of governors is Zoom meeting to […]
It looks like “Parasite” director Bong Joon Ho kept his promise to drink “until next morning” after nabbing four Oscars on Sunday night. The movie was the first non-English-language film to win best picture and the first South Korean film to win best international feature. To celebrate, the cast and crew of “Parasite” bounced around from Los Angeles’ Soho House to the Vanity Fair Oscars party before winding up at Koreatown’s Soban, where they celebrated […]
The winners' speeches will air later during the broadcast. In a break with tradition, the Academy Awards in four categories will be presented during commercial breaks when the 91st Oscars are broadcast by ABC on Feb. 24. The affected categories are cinematography, film editing, live-action short and makeup and hairstyling. While the Academy's board of governors approved a plan in August to present some of the 24 awards categories during breaks in […]
Winners: Roma! Black Panther! Foreign films! Losers: A Star Is Born! Emily Blunt! Mister Rogers! One of the weirdest Oscar seasons in recent history continues thanks to a weird list of Oscar nominations, one filled with great movies but also shocking snubs and heartening surprises. Roma and The Favourite are at the top of the heap, with 10 nominations each; Vice and A Star Is Born are in second place with eight apiece. Black Panther, the first superhero movie ever nominated for […]
The race is on between global blockbuster "A Star Is Born," likely to score the most nominations, and Netflix's Golden Globe and Critics Choice winner "Roma." The 2019 Oscar race is all about Best Popular Film. Not only does the Academy not need that new category after all this year (or it seems, a well-liked Oscar host), but more big-grossers than ever are vying for spots on the final Oscar […]
It’s perhaps a shade ironic that Academy Awards flirted with having a most-popular-film Oscar this year to get more eyes tuned into the Feb. 24 ceremony, and the best-picture slate might be inundated with hits anyway. Oscar best pictures aren’t always the biggest box-office powerhouses: Last year’s winner, "The Shape of Water,” grossed only $63.9 million – not a lot, yet a mother lode compared with the $17 million haul of 2010 […]
