The Day 3 drama of Trump’s New York trial Soooooooo much drama. Jury selection forces Trump to face people who don't worship him How we love to see that orange, grumpy furrowed brow. A new Democratic recruit could put an unexpected GOP seat in play...

Donald Trump attacked late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel in an early morning all-over-the-map social media post Wednesday. That night, Kimmel told his audience that he learned about Trump’s latest attack on him from all the text messages waiting...

I certainly can’t compete with Jimmy Kimmel’s “Isn’t it past your jail time?” line from the Oscars on Sunday night, a line which which was pretty great. But I can offer a couple of recommendations from a couple of the “off the beaten path” categories —...

I initially thought it was a joke, but it’s not. The Former Guy wrote a post on Twitter criticizing Jimmy Kimmel’s hosting of the Oscars. Kimmel, live mike in hand, then responded in what got the loudest laugh of the night. TFG just doesn’t know when...

No such thing as bad PR, especially at the Oscars. And Trump is such a cultural critic, what with mocking disabilities. Just imagine how furious Trump was, sitting at home, glued to his TV, typing away furiously. He hates that he's excluded from...

Hollywood came to a grinding halt today. Not for the 2024 Oscars ceremony at Dolby Theater— but for a pro-Palestine protest that marched on the Oscars. Activists chanted in support of Palestine and demanded an immediate ceasefire and end to Israel’s...

The Oscars will be on tomorrow night. I don’t care. I have never cared about the Academy Awards. Watching them is more fun than watching paint dry, but not that much more. Back in 1974, I watched the Oscars with my boyfriend. Streaking was popular,...

Like a lot of people I go through the annual ritual of trying to see every Oscar-nominated movie before the actual Oscars are awarded. Also like most people I always fail, but this year I did better than in other years. In any case, whether I’ve...

Not necessarily for that picture. I can think of two pictures in which the actors appearing during their careers won a total of 8 Oscars Bad Day at Black Rock won no acting Oscars. Spencer Tracy had two Best Actor Oscars. Walter Brennan had 3 Best...

I am generally not a fan of self-congratulatory affairs like the Oscars, Emmy(s), etc. I saw the famed slap last year and Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty, who took us to La La Land instead of basking in the Moonlight in 2017. I was drawn to the Oscars...

(I know the photo isn’t of Kidman reacting to the slap is actually from before the ceremony, it’s just a great illustration of how everyone reacted to it) Now being reported that Will Smith was not asked to leave the ceremony. He should have been asked...

You think you know the worst thing that ever happened at the Academy Awards Ceremony. You think you saw it, last Sunday, when Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, twice, for making a tacky joke about his wife. Well you’re wrong. More than eighty years ago,...
