Explaining the purpose of The Geekie Awards, Executive Producer and concept creator, Kristen Nedopak said, “There are far too many talented creators out there who don’t have the means to get the exposure they need [in order] to promote their incredible work. The Geekie Awards gives them exposure to an international audience, both through our panel of expert judges to our website to the show itself and all the press surrounding it.”

2012 Oscar Nominations Announced

by Cortney Zamm, Jan 24 2012 // 9:00 AM

At 5:30 AM Pacific Time on Tuesday, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their nominations for this year’s Oscars.

Hugo leads with 11 total nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director. The Artist scored 10 nods.

Some of the nominations were a big surprise, especially in the Best Picture catagory. While films like The Artist and The Descendants were a shoe-in, especially after their performance in the Golden Globes, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and The Help were also recognized. Also curiously, there were only nine pictures nominated as opposed to ten, which we’ve seen the past two years.

Best Director is chock full of veteran Oscar nominees. Woody Allen, Terrance Malick, Alexander Payne, and Martin Scorsese have earned almost 40 nominations all together. Michel Hazanivicus, however, is up for his first nomination.

Most notably absent from several catagories was Drive, for Best Picture, Best Actor for Ryan Gosling’s spectacular performance and Best Supporting Actor for Albert Brooks. It dig snag a nomination for Sound Editing, but I would have liked to see it recognized a bit more.

The Oscar buzz continues until the Academy Awards ceremony airs on Sunday February 26th. You can see the full listing of nominees after the jump, and let us know what you think of the nominations!

The 2011 Golden Globe Awards

by Shannon Hood, Jan 17 2011 // 8:30 AM

The 2011 Golden Globe Awards started off with a bang thanks to host Ricky Gervais, who wasted no time throwing some well deserved punches at some Hollywood bigwigs. Gervais poked some fun at Charlie Sheen, The Tourist’s inexplicable nominations, the allegations of bribery regarding The Hollywood Foreign Press, and closeted Scientology homosexuals.

Yowza, he’s got some balls. Was it sheer coincidence he disappeared for much of the show’s duration?

This show was noticeably tame for a Golden Globe telecast.  In fact, nothing really wacky or notable happened.  Here are a few observations:

  • Worst dressed Tilda Swinton, wearing a potato sack.
  • Best dressed January Jones in that red dress?  Hubba hubba.
  • People who refuse to age Michelle Pfieffer (she’s 53!?) and Jane Fonda (74).
  • Best presenter Robert Downey Junior
  • Most charming flub Andrew Garfield
  • Most shocking transformation Trent Reznor (who was a fresh scrubbed yuppie) and Melissa Leo, who is not really a bleached and teased hag. In fact, she’s quite fetching in real life.

Here are the awards, listed in the order they were presented. Glee came away a big winner with 3 awards.  The Social Network continuing to steam roll through the award season with a win for best director, best picture, and best screenplay. Lovable losers Paul Giamatti and Steve Buscemi both took home awards, and Natalie Portman is one step closer to an Oscar for her role in Black Swan. 

Boardwalk Empire beat out some stiff competition for best television drama. Here’s the rest of the night’s winners:
