And the awards for worst Oscar follow-ups go to …

February 24, 2011 StayTuned Staff

What must this time of year be like for Cuba Gooding Jr.? No doubt he’s pleased to relive that glorious night in 1997 when he took home the Best Supporting Actor award for Jerry Maguire, providing one of the Oscars’ most memorable acceptance speeches in the process. But then there are always those jackasses (present company included) who have to bring up Chill Factor, Boat Trip and pretty much every movie he’s made since then — Snow Dogs, Radio — that make him the walking embodiment of a lousy post-Oscar career. Instinct, Shadowboxer, Daddy Day Camp … OK, I’ll stop […]

Sarah Palin beats Snooki as worst female reality star at lighthearted Bennie Awards

February 22, 2011 Jeff Pfeiffer

By Jeff Pfeiffer Later this week, we’ll be talking about the Razzie Awards, the infamous and hilarious awards that serve as the anti-Oscars, honoring the worst in film from the past year. But this morning, we received notice of a similar award that was unfamiliar to us. The 2011 Bennie Award winners were announced. Only in their second year, the awards recognize the worst in prime time television. The awards’ name (and, presumably, the face seen on the award itself) are inspired by former NBC head Ben Silverman, the architect behind failed series such as Knight Rider, Kath & Kim […]

GRAMMY Awards hit CBS on Sunday

February 11, 2011 StayTuned Staff

The GRAMMY Awards suffer a lot of criticism each year: They’re an anachronism — they don’t even make “records” anymore. (And nobody out there really buys them.) The same acts get nominated and appear year after year. The duets seem forced. The categories seem gerrymandered, in a sense, to highlight certain artists’ genres, while completely ignoring others. But the show must go on, and that’s exactly what The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards will be when it airs on CBS Feb. 13 at 8pm ET/PT — a grand, gaudy spectacle of a show celebrating the big names in music headlines today […]

And the loser is … the Academy Awards ratings

January 26, 2011 Jeff Pfeiffer

By Tom Comi By now you have most likely heard the major nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards to be held next month, and it seems fair to say that it will be a competitive night between The Social Network, The King’s Speech and The Fighter. However, if history is an indication, we can most likely count on the biggest loser being the TV ratings. That’s not a dig at any of the fine nominated movies this year, mind you. It’s just the reality that the buzz of the movies and how well they did at the box office serve […]
