Lena Dunham Nominated For a Webby Because Lena Dunham is Everywhere

The past year has been a big one for Lena Dunham, to say the least.

New Hope For Ben Affleck and Argo?

Ben Affleck was surprisingly shut out of an Oscar nomination for Best Director last week, but he's not down yet.

Will Seth MacFarlane Be A Good Oscar Host?

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler were a scream as hosts of the Golden Globes last night.

If Seth MacFarlane can do even half as well at the Os ... More >>

OK, I Finally Just Saw The Tourist!

Terroir​ In the wake of the Chris Cannon/Michael White divorce, the merry pranksters at Terroir have made their allegiances very clear with a tribute to "our hero" Chris Cannon so hilariously unsparing it makes Ricky Gervais's Golden Globes commentary look like a Hallmark card. Cannon's year ... More >>

Does The Money Really Get To Haiti?

​Everywhere you go, people are asking for donations to help the people in earthquake-devastated Haiti, and one can't help responding by immediately opening one's heart and wallet.

It's Meryl Vs. Sandra!

​Did anyone think the Best Actress Oscar race would boil down to a battle royale between the greatest actress of her generation, Meryl Streep, and Miss Congeniality, Sandra Bullock? No, but with both ladies' Golden Globes wins, that exactly what it's shaping up as. Mind you, I've always trum ... More >>

It's James Cameron vs. Kathryn Bigelow!

​Forget saving the Navis. James Cameron's biggest mission these days should be to beat his ex-wife, Kathryn Bigelow, for a slew of awards!

Performances Lost in the Awards Shuffle

​The Oscar nominations aren't out yet, but the Golden Globe ones were announced and all the critics' groups have declared their faves, so it's becoming clear who's being royally shafted this year.

Take Back an Oscar!

​The Academy Awards are planning all kinds of ways to jazz up and reinvent their ceremony--like making the Best Picture category include 10 entries, no doubt so G-Force can catapult to the nominees' list.
