Who cares about Sunday Night Football? The Emmys are here! (What’s that? Everyone cares about Sunday Night Football? Then this post is for TV nerds only.) I hope you have your watch parties planned because the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards air Sunday at 8ET/5PT. On FOX! Ugh, FOX. Remember this disaster? Hopefully no one tries [...]

My Emmy Nomination Wish List

Emmy nominations will be announced on Thursday, and as usual I am filled with a mixture of excitement and dread. I used to enjoy the Emmys much more when I knew less about television and the politics of award season. How I long to go back to my childhood in Kansas when nominees and winners [...]
Drink Up, Oscar!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged awards, drinking, Oscars, reactions on February 28, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Apparently people weren’t entirely pleased with Sunday night’s Oscar telecast. Anne Hathaway was overeager. James Franco was undereager. The winners were predictable. No one could speak in coherent sentences. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Obviously all these Oscar haters didn’t have four bottles of wine between two people and a handy drinking game to keep them [...]

My Inevitably Inaccurate 2010 Emmy Predictions
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged awards, Emmys, Hollywood, predictions on August 28, 2010 | 1 Comment »
Happy Emmy Weekend! Welcome to the second most wonderful time of the year! (The first being Oscar weekend.) I couldn’t let Sunday come without sharing my own predictions. But as much as I would love to go in depth about the writing and directing awards also, I’ve only focused on the big ten awards here. [...]
Oscar recap: Unspectacular Telecast, Remarkable Victories
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged awards, Hollywood, Oscars on March 8, 2010 | 5 Comments »
And now it’s over. After a nearly six-month long Oscar season, we know the winners and can debate those winners for the next six months, six years or even six decades. Will THE HURT LOCKER stand the test of time or will INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS be the movie taught in film school? Will Kathryn Bigelow be [...]
Happy Oscar Day!

The sun is shining outside, and it’s also shining in my heart because today is Oscar Day! I’m ready for a day filled with glamour, inane Red Carpet questions, awkward podium banter and teary acceptance speeches. I wouldn’t say I have high hopes for hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, but I have hopes. And [...]
My “People need to stop thinking AVATAR is going to win Best Picture” Oscar Predictions
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged awards, fabulousness, Hollywood, memories, Oscars on March 6, 2010 | 7 Comments »
Unless you’ve been living on Pandora (hah!), then you know that tomorrow is Oscar Day! Oscar Day could very well be tied with Christmas Eve and my birthday as my favorite day of the year. Even though television is my medium of choice, I would take the Oscars over the Emmys any day. (The Emmys [...]
Reactions: Oscar Nominations

I never thought February 2nd would get here! There’s only one day every year when I’m exited to wake up at 7:30 a.m. when I don’t have to, and that is Oscar nomination day. I wasn’t expecting to be surprised or upset by any nominations this year because the categories seemed more predictable than usual. [...]
