The night almost upon us. I’m simply trying to make sense of this topsy-turvy award season. Here are our final oscar predictions.

As you surely know by now, Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Birdman and Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel lead the nominations for the 87th Annual Academy Awards with nine bids each. But right now, we’re all about that snub, and of course, there wasn’t just one “snub.” This column could dedicate

We’re at that point, folks. Oscar nominations drop tomorrow, and for the first time ever, every category will have an official announcement. (In years past, many “smaller” categories were announced by way of press release.) Of course, this means that we have to predict who will get in – and

We’ll have lots to talk about on Monday – the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) and Writers Guild of America (WGA) nominations and the nominees for the USC Scripter Award. But for now, let’s take a stab at what will happen at the Golden Globes on Sunday

The Oscar race moves on as the Telluride Film Festival ends and the Toronto Film Festival begins.

The Grand Budapest Hotel tells the story of a hotel worker M. Gustave and a lobby boy Zero. The adventures they’re about to dive in, are caused by the Gustave’s passion for old ladies.

The Grand Budapest Hotel hits cinemas this weekend marking another triumph for writer and director Wes Anderson. But what are the indie darling’s best and worst movies to date? We rank every feature length film in his canon in ascending order to find out… 8. Bottle Rocket It’s not that

It’s a new year and that means a whole big batch of new movies! 2014 is sure to make any film lover excited!

Saturday Night Live brought Edward Norton to host this week and while he put out a solid performance, I’m still left wondering why. Picking him just seemed random since he doesn’t have a big project that he’s promoting and while that’s not required, that’s just standard practice. But this season they seem to

It has been 12 years since Roman Coppola last made a film — the thoroughly underrated CQ — but in that time he has kept busy, co-writing Darjeeling Limited and Moonrise Kingdom (for which he received an Oscar nomination last month), and working with his father (Francis Ford Coppola) and his sister
