tvDownload’s 2016 Academy Award Liveblog

Welp, it's time for another round of Oscars, this time hosted by Chris Rock and hopefully that bear from The Revenant. Tune in as tvDownload editors Drew Grant and Vinnie Mancuso comment on slightly different variations of that same bear joke to belie the fact that they haven't seen the majority of movies on nominated this year. Except for Star Wars. I mean, we ALL saw Star Wars.

Writers Guild Awards Wrap-Up: ‘Mad Men,’ ‘Inside Amy Schumer’ and Elaine May Win Big

On Saturday night The Writers Guild of America held simultaneous award ceremonies on the East and West Coast, giving out over 25 awards in various categories. The ceremonies are much less glamorous than the Globes, the Oscars, and even the Screen Actors Guild, but the presentation of these awards do annually provide some inspiring words, pearls of wisdom and moving moments that would otherwise not be captured and shared.

This Is The Easiest Way To Win An Oscar

It seems that the easiest new way to win an Oscar is to take the "meta" route. Easy in the sense that in the yearly feeding frenzy for awards, there appears to be one surefire way to grab the attention of the all important Academy voters. The former “easy” way used to be what I referred to as the “180°," in which a charismatic actress might transform into a homely heroin, or a beefy action hero might cut his weight to concerning proportions. Now, it appears the solution is to play to the one key facet binding together all of the esteemed voters responsible for handing out the awards, and that is their collection love of film.
