Critics Choice Awards Favor Nomadland and Promising Young Woman, Reshape Awards Race

New DVD release, , , , , ,
What a difference a week makes. Seven days ago, the Golden Globes arrived with controversy and allegedly upended the race with some major surprises (and major head scratchers). Is Jodie Foster really a contender for Best Supporting Actress? Was the support for Maria Bakalova just internet hype? There was plenty of hand-wringing, but Sunday night’s 26th annual Critics Choice Awards arrived to recalibrate the state of the awards race—and to give an interesting look at how a singular industry marches on during a pandemic. The biggest winner of the night was Nomadland, which picked up the Critics Choice Awards for…

The Game Awards 2020: Biggest Snubs

New DVD release, ,
The Game Awards nominations have finally arrived, which means it’s officially time to start arguing about what the biggest video game award show of the year got right and wrong. Considering the many ways that the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the entire entertainment industry this year (including gaming), we’re a little surprised that this year’s nominees are as competitive as they are. While titles like Halo Infinite missed their 2020 release date and Cyberpunk 2077 will miss the award show’s Nov. 20 cutoff date for nominations, there were enough quality games released in 2020 to ensure that the Game Awards…

Watchmen Wins 11 Emmy Awards

New DVD release,

Emmy Awards 2020 Predictions and Analysis

New DVD release, ,
After several years of, let’s say, improved taste, the Emmy Awards backslid a bit last year. Sure, it was nice to see Fleabag get the recognition it deserved. But that recognition came along with a Game of Thrones final season onslaught that nobody asked for. With Thrones firmly in the rearview, the 2020 Emmy Awards have a chance to welcome in some new blood. And with an eclectic list of first-time nominees like The Mandalorian, The Morning Show, and Watchmen they may be able to do just that! Below you can find all the major categories that will be announced…

New DVD release, , , ,
Certainly each edition of the Emmy Awards is special to those involved, but the 2020 Emmys promise to be particularly unique.  Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is unable to host the Award show in-person per usual. Instead they are holding a socially-distanced version of the event with all participants partaking in the festivities remotely.  And just to make things even more unprecedented, ATAS is expanding its coverage of the typically understated Creative Arts Emmys portion of the proceedings. Here is everything you need to know about the highly unusual 2020 Emmy Awards.…

Watchmen Wins Big At the 2020 TCA Awards

New DVD release,
Who watches the Watchmen? The Television Critics Association apparently (of which, full disclosure: this author is a member).  Eerily prescient HBO miniseries Watchmen has won four 2020 TCA Awards, including Individual Achievement in Drama (for Regina King’s work), Outstanding New Program, Outstanding Achievement in Movie, Miniseries, or Special, and Program of the Year. This marks a clean sweep of the categories that Watchmen was nominated in and, due to the TCA Awards’ relatively short list of 13 categories, amounts to the show winning roughly 31% of all the awards. Not bad! Watchmen’s TCA Awards dominance is reminiscent of another timely…

2020 Emmy Awards Will Go Virtual

New DVD release,
In news that is bound to make you say “wait, that wasn’t official yet?”, the 2020 Emmy Awards are now set to be a virtual ceremony due to the coronavirus pandemic.

CMA Awards LIVE

Max SchindlerNew DVD release
Rent It Country music, much like any genre of music is bound to evolve as the years go on and new artist emerge to add their own flavor and make their mark on the world. Time Life's latest release, a massive nine DVD set covering the CMA Awards from 1968-2015 is a remarkable collection of live performances at the industry's biggest awards show and in the process, provides a fascinating timeline of the evolution of country music (at least from the 60s on). Running a little over 11-hours, the "CMA Awards Live" release is far from a comprehensive look at…
