Best Picture

My Winner - Argo (mainly because of the Ben Affleck snub - this way, he can still get an Oscar). If not, I also surprisingly enjoyed Les Miserables, so I'd go with that.

 Probable Winner - Lincoln (mainly because... well... America) I think Django Unchained might be ruled out due to the 'n-word' barrage, Amour will be lined up for Best Foreign Film and Beasts of the Southern Wild might be a bit too... different to win it - apart from that, I think it's wide…

The 85th Academy Awards is right around the corner. No matter how you may feel about the ceremony itself, or the validity of the movies deemed to be the yearly "best," it cannot be denied that the Oscars represents a staggering legacy of cinema. To pay tribute to this legacy, artist Olly Moss has created an elaborate poster featuring a different statuette for each of the Best Picture winners. The creativity and attention to detail employed…

The coming of the new year brings with it the strange, garish tradition that we call The Academy Awards. It's that time of year when celebrities wander out of their palatial caves for a giant pageant wherein they pretend they don't want the gold statues for which they are competing with their colleagues. I'm…

For once, the actual author of the story set out to make his version of the story on film the definitive one! Not only that but Chbosky manages to convince anyone that his version of the story and its characters in this film should be the only version to be made. It's one of those rare films that…

Okay I can't stop playing the BET Awards 2012 commercial with Samuel L.

It's almost like the older he gets the more funny he's getting or maybe it's the more risks he can take.

So here's Samuel L's version of Nicki Minaj's "Beez in the Trap":…

It's rare that the MTV Movie Awards gives us anything worthwhile, and for the most part that holds true for this year's broadcast. However, one particular moment during the show has stirred up a great deal of geek buzz regarding J.J. Abrams'…

What is arguably the most iconic Hollywood film of the modern era is back once again to rake in more money. But what is it that has made this film so massive in its impact? It's a movie about an event that almost no one living today ever experienced, it's a James Cameron film without nuclear weapons, Terminators,…

Well, here we are. Today is the day that lets loose a tidal wave of discussion, debate, and (often) unrestrained bitching from critics and casual movie fans alike.

George Clooney recently won Best Actor at the Golden Globes this past week, now as we know Golden Globes do tend to Follow the same Formula as The Academy Awards. By any means we may see George walk off the stage with his Oscar after  past numerous attempts with The American, Up in the Air, and Michael Clayton. So What do you think Clonneyites do you think well see our future president win His Oscar.

With all the negativity that has surrounded this year's Oscar ceremony, I'll admit I found this cheesy trailer for the ceremony to be refreshing. In the trailer, Josh Duhamel and Megan Fox, don't ask me why those two, are on an epic guest to find the elusive figure known as The Host. Yeah, it's…

2011 was a rather temperamental year, both on the world stage and on the Internet. Lots of forlorn and depression, but for movie fans, I think it will go down as being quite a good one, I'm sure you’d agree. With that, it's time for me to take a look back at the movies of last year, and choose the winners, and losers.

Before I go on however, I'll say this, I haven't seen all…
