Gourmet Dog Treats at the Oscars?
So, there is this movie called Hotel for Dogs currently in theaters, right? Well…if you’re a celebrity, why not captialize on the theme and provide doggie treats to your pampered pooch!
That’s exactly what the folks with TMG International thought when they decided to include Raleigh-based Bone Appetit’streats in the gift bags being handed out at [...]
Will ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ Take the Oscars?
With its win for cast ensemble at the annual Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG) Awards on Sunday and it’s mulitple wins at the Golden Globes a couple week’s back, it’s certainly a heavy favorite to win an Oscar for Best Picture. It’s on my list of “must sees” before Oscars BIG night but now, I’m really [...]
Benjamin Button is the BEST
or at least it’s on the road to being the best. On Thursday morning, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences released its Oscar nominations from the 2008 pool and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button leads the pack with 13 nods! Up for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and a slew of technical [...]
Oscars Scuttlebutt Already?
In Hollywood it’s never too early to talk Oscar noms. Heck, since I saw Batman: The Dark Knight this summer, I’ve been predicting Heath Ledger will be up for a posthumous Supporting Actor nomination (if not a win!). Seems everyone’s out there talking Oscar.
On Tuesday of this week, the News and Observer had a lengthy [...]
Road Trippin’
So here I am on I-95 heading north in Virginia on my way to Massachusetts for the weekend. Yeah, I know – CRAZY! The trip will take us about 12-14 hours up…and 12-14 hours back. At the very least, it’s taken 11 1/2 hours or at the most, 16 hours. Crazy. But, my headin’ home [...]
My 2007 Oscar Recap
Well, the 2007 Oscars came off without a hitch…except for the poor scripting provided for second time host, Jon Stewart. He was trying so hard to be funny. Of course, I couldn’t tell if he was left with minimal writing to work with as a product of the Strike and they didn’t have enough time to [...]
It’s Oscar Weekend!
All of Tinseltown, the critics (professional and arm-chair alike), the gossip mongers, and let’s not forget the fashionistas are abuzz with the latest on the preparations for the BIG night. The Writer’s Strike has finally come to a close. So, Jon Stewart should be well-rehearsed for his duties as host of the show. The busy [...]
Gone Before His Time
I usually don’t post twice in one day and I certainly don’t like to post this kind of subject matter shortly after such a positive post as was detailed in my Oscar nominations piece. However, the news of the death of a promising young actor warranted me to post again.
Heath Ledger, 28, best known for his Academy [...]
The Oscars Are Coming…or Are They?
I wish I could say that I’m excited for the Oscar nominations this year but it’s hard to be when even the possibility of a traditional Hollywood gala hangs in the balance. But, with that being said, I found myself glued to the Today Show this morning, once again, as they gracioiusly captured the nominations [...]
Did We HAVE a Golden Globes Last Night?
Well, yes, but it wasn’t your typical high-fashion-Hollywood-actor-dominated event. As a matter of fact, the Globes were actually given out by various high-profile Entertainment reporters from the likes of Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, etc. Weird. Many of the presenters even said as much at the podium – “Never in a million years did I imagine…..”
Yes, [...]
