Despite the Oscars’ new Popular Film category, Marvel is launching an awards campaign to get ‘Black Panther’ a Best Picture nomination.

Netflix is determined to put it's latest masterpieces on the silver screen.

Every year, there are those who are inevitably left out.

This category almost always results in the wrong winner. Something has to change - here are some suggestions.

The Academy Awards don’t always get it right - here’s the shocking proof.

The Oscars aren’t perfect.

This year’s Oscar winner for Best Documentary Feature was O.J.: Made in America, Ezra Edelman’s epic examination of O.J. Simpson’s life, career, and the murder trial that captivated the American imagination. It was a truly remarkable achievement in non-fiction filmmaking; not just the best doc of 2016 but the best film of any kind of 2016 (at least according to the schlub who runs this website). Its Academy Award was richly deserved.

The big headline from last night was Warren Beatty’s colossal goof during the Best Picture announcement, in which he erroneously named La La Land the winner of the coveted prize, only to be corrected not a minute later with the news that the award would actually go to Moonlight. It was a classic mix-up, a reminder of the high-wire instability of live television, and an instant entry for the Oscar history books. But there was a second, less glaring gaffe in the telecast, so subtle that it went by without most viewers noticing. But the Australian producer who watched herself declared dead in the In Memoriam segment certainly did.
