Seth MacFarlane is the host of the 85th Academy Awards. Again, Seth MacFarlane is the host of the 85th Oscars in 2013. This is unbelievable. Totally wild. Seth MacFarlane is a TV guy known for Family Guy and his movie Ted, but really his contributions have been massively tilted toward television. For Oscar Producers Craig […]
AMPAS, the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, has finally hired a replacement for the last communications director, Leslie Unger, who was released last fall in what Deadline’s Nikky Finke called “housecleaning,” and didn’t do so with any love from Nikke Finke: My lack of fondness for the arrogant and autocratic pairing of Unger […]
More from the Night Of 100 Stars Oscar Party, where I think I set a video record over last year. This time, I met the legendary ex-wife of Tom Cruise, Mimi Rogers, who currently stars on Two And A Half Men on CBS with Ashton Kutcher and John Cryer. In person, Ms. Rogers is tall […]
Daniel Sutton is a friend and LA media local who represents News 10 out of Austrialia and focuses on entertainment. Last Saturday, we traded videos in a way, with Sutton talking to me about what to look out for during the Oscars…. And also talking about why he wanted to see The Help win Oscars […]
Between Beverly Rivas, Tiana Patterson, and myself, there were three different views of The Red Carpet at the 2012 Oscars. Well, since Bev and Tiana were a team, really they should be considered one person. At any rate, here are the videos we created while on The Red Carpet, including the videos from the morning […]
(Thanks to the Courtyard By Marriott Century City / Beverly Hills) The Oscars Red Carpet design was vastly different this year, and I sought to talk to someone connected with The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to explain the reason for the difference. AMPAS staff pointed to Joe Lewis. Lewis’ official title is […]

It happened on Saturday, and while I was being interviewed by Daniel Sutton, who works […]

The time is almost upon us for the 84th annual Academy Awards, and while the show has yet to fully embrace social media – it has made some impressive leaps and bounds technologically speaking. I downloaded the official Oscar app last night, and I have to say I am rather impressed! It is available for […]
Yesterday I blogged that Sacha Baron Cohen was banned from attending The 84th Annual Academy Awards, or The Oscars, because he planned to dress as his character Admiral General Aladeen on The Red Carpet in a kind of promotion of his movie The Dictator. See my Tout: http://www.tout.com/m/bqv5vv Now, Cohen has announced that he will […]

The action was taken even though Cohen is both an Academy member, and stars in a film nominated for Best Picture: Hugo. According to Nikke Finke, who broke […]

Just one week before The 84th Academy Awards, the shame of the The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences (AMPAS) totally-not-diverse membership was tossed before its collective feet Sunday, courtesy of the Los Angeles Times. The big stat: The Academy is 94 percent white, and 77 percent male. In a path-breaking work of investigative […]
This is the other reason to get excited about the Academy Awards, other than that Billy Crystal is the host: the Night Of 100 Stars Oscar Party. This will be the fourth year this blogger has attended the amazing event, and here’s a few of my now classic videos from Norby Waters and Ed Lozzi’s […]
For the first time in the history of The Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, it has a non-Academy Awards night event that has dominated the Twitter Top Trend list.
