Don Rickles to receive Johnny Carson award on Comedy Central

May 4, 2012 Tom Comi

There are very few comedians who last more than five decades in an industry not known for rewarding longevity, but Don Rickles is far from your average funny man. And it’s that very reason why the performer who has been deemed “The Merchant of Venom” and “Mr. Warmth” will be honored on Comedy Central Sunday night (9pm ET/PT). It’s fitting that Rickles will be presented with the “Johnny Carson Award For Comedic Excellence” as part of the 2012 Comedy Awards, because it was Carson himself who gave him his big break. Not only did the young comic make his national […]

Oscars 2012 Winners List — A Portrait of “The Artist” In Triumph

February 26, 2012 StayTuned Staff

Believe it or not, the 84th Annual Academy Awards wasn’t all about whether J. Lo had a nip slip and just how much leg Angelina Jolie was going to show. They actually did hand out some Oscars. The Artist took home the big prize, winning Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, while Hugo managed to wrack up an impressive slew of technical awards. The biggest upset, however, was probably Viola Davis of The Help losing out in Best Actress to Meryl Streep for the little-seen The Iron Lady. Davis’ co-star, Octavia Spencer, did win Best Supporting Actress, however, and […]

Adam Sandler shatters record for awfulness as 2011 Razzie Award nominations announced

February 26, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

It’s been a tradition since 1980 for The Golden Raspberry Awards (a.k.a. “The Razzies“) to serve as a tongue-in-cheek alternative to Oscar’s big night. Whereas the Academy Awards gala offers glitz, glamour and somewhat self-serving pats on the back from Hollywood peer to Hollywood peer, the Razzies have taken a different tact — recognizing what many of us filmgoers know, that much of what the Tinseltown dream factory churns out can be pretty dreadful. It had been typical for the Razzies to piggyback on the Oscars, announcing its “winners” the night before the Academy’s big event. But this year, the Razzies […]

“Red State” leads Movieguide’s list of Most “Unbearable” Movies of 2011

February 24, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

Those radical Hollywood elites were at it again in full force in 2011! At least, that’s the takeaway I got from an email I received yesterday on behalf of Movieguide®, a publication of Good News Communications, Inc. and the Christian Film & Television Commission ministry. In the email, the publication announced its picks for the worst movies of 2011, including a list of the 20 Most Unbearable Movies of 2011, also known as the Rotten Banana Awards. What set this list apart to me was the interesting — and, in some cases, very detailed — names of the Rotten Banana […]

February 16, 2012 Jeff Pfeiffer

He may play a monster on The CW’s hit series The Vampire Diaries, but when it comes to real life, actor Ian Somerhalder has proven to be a passionate defender of animal life.

Adele swept the 2012 Grammy Awards, taking home all six prizes her album 21 was nominated for: Pop Solo Performance, Song of the Year, Best Music Video Short Form, Pop Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Album of the Year. In a ceremony largely overshadowed by the unexpected death of iconic singer Whitney Houston, performances by Adele and Jennifer Hudson stood out among over-the-top flash put on by Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj, and a Country Bears hoe-down led by Taylor Swift. Bruno Mars, who was nominated for six awards, charmed with his retro-style performance of “Runaway Baby,” […]
