At the recently concluded 93rd Academy Awards, the Best Actor award was won by Anthony Hopkins for his performance in The Father but this hasn’t gone down well with Chadwick Boseman fans. As soon as the winner for the category was announced, fans took to social media to express their disagreement. That was the only major award that Hopkins won this year even as Boseman won the Critics’ Choice award, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award, establishing him as a favourite for Oscars.

Like every year, The Academy Awards’ In Memoriam section paid tributes to filmmakers and artists who departed the world in 2020.

Irrfan Khan was an international actor who died after a long battle with cancer on…

Is there a more woebegone movie genre than the video game adaptation? This is the pantheon of Max Payne, Wing Commander and Assassin’s Creed. In the 27 years since the first video game movie, Super Mario Bros., these adaptations have been so regularly mocked that you might think the genre was — like a teetering fighter in Mortal Kombat surrounded by chants of “Finish him!” — on its last legs. And yet, Hollywood is increasingly viewing video games as one of the ripest, richest veins of intellectual property outside of comic books. Even as much of the film business slowed…

editor0 CommentsEntertainmentCovid-19, hollywood, oscars

Neither intimate looks into stars’ living rooms nor scantily clad pop stars performing provocative hits have been able to stop audiences from tuning out award shows this year. The ratings for the Grammys were down by 53%. Golden Globes viewership plummeted more than 60%. Now, as Hollywood prepares for a coronavirus-delayed Academy Awards telecast April 25 on ABC, it is faced with the ultimate doomsday scenario: that the viewing public is ready to toss its premier showcase into the entertainment dustbin, plopped next to variety shows. Oscar, meet Lawrence Welk and his bubbles. At a time when the traditional film industry…
