Earlier today I caught a glimpse of a ‘For Your Consideration’ ad (click to enlarge above) for Warner Bros.’ comedy The Hangover over on First Showing. Then after seeing it for myself on Variety.com, I was sold. This is an awards contender.

With Awards Season now in full swing, it is time for studios to spend the money to get their movies into the hands of voters across Hollywood and the world. Up first, its time for some ‘For Your Consideration’ posters…

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed their list of the final group of 15 films that will contend for the Best Documentary Feature award this week, and with said announcement comes a twinge of bittersweetness.

Yesterday, Variety published the list of films that have made the cut of 20 for the race to get the Best Animated Feature Oscar. Allow me to break this down for you…

Have you seen anything this year worthy of next year’s Oscars? If so, what? What do you think should get nominated? Who should win? Bethany Perryman wants to know.

So the Oscars is widening the field to 10 Best Picture Nominees, and I’m certain that it will change life as you know it while you yawn. Actually, it probably won’t. But everyone will be clamoring for a retro-active nod for The Dark Knight, right?

Once again, we use an exclamation point, so you know it’s important. Below you will find the complete list of nominees for the 81st Academy Awards. We will be updating the list of winners as the show rolls along.

his announcement comes with its own exclamation point, therefore it must be important. Tomorrow night at 5PT/8ET we will be live-blogging the biggest night in show business thanks to the technological brilliance of both Cover It Live and Twitter.

Oscar is naked. So are many of the stars who went home with him. We take a look at just a few who memorably shed their clothes and ended up with nominations and Gold.

Everyone else is predicting who will win the Oscar. Which is boring. So we’re taking a look at who will definitely, definitely lose.

Calm down everyone. The Academy Award Nominations got it right. Just because the voters went a different way than the public doesn’t make them wrong, and Josh Radde tells us why.

We’ve heard your reactions to the Oscar nominations, now here what some of the nominees have to say.

With the full, finalized list out, we’ve got a whole roll of The Obvious and very little of The Exciting.
