TV Has Its Place: Academy Awards Edition 2009

by Karl J. Paloucek I’d like to thank the Academy … For once again boring the hell out of a nation that did its part to make 2008 one of the best years for movies in recent memory. You said that this year’s spectacle was going to be delightfully different, and well … it just wasn’t. But I sympathize. When you look at what the Academy Awards ceremonies are, it’s a predictable recipe for boredom. Everyone watches to see who wins, but if you were to string together just the winning announcements and cut out the rest, that would be […]

Nickelodeon Puts Decision 2009 In Kids’ Hands

Posted by: kjpaloucek Yeah, the Grammys are this weekend and the Oscars are coming up, but the kids don’t care about them — the stuff they like never wins, anyway. Fortunately for them, Nickelodeon’s 22nd Annual Kids’ Choice Awards nominations are out, and starting March 2, kids will be able to go online at nick.com/kca and pick their favorites. The Kids’ Choice Awards is always a pretty messy affair, with lots of Nickelodeon’s patented green slime. (It’s a secret recipe. I asked.) And it’s usually a pretty fun gig for the host as well. In recent years, Justin Timberlake and […]
