Yesterday AMPAS announced that Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer will be producing the Oscars telelcast and that is the earliest that they have ever announced who got the job. So people started to wonder why they announced it 8 months before the show is set to air. Well according to Deadline Hollywood, it could be because they might be moving the Academy Awards to January. I think that is a brilliant idea! First off it would make Awards season so much shorter. Second maybe the studios would stop releasing the films they think could get a nom in limited release during the last week in December. I hate that they save their best for last and only let a few people in NY and LA see it. Maybe they would start releasing worthy movies earlier in the year and we could get excited for the noms as compared to what is that movie, never heard of it or saw it.
The only negative is the other Awards show would become even less relevant than they already are, oh wait maybe that is not a bad thing. There are way too many awards shows as it is.
And here is the biggest positive about this year’s Oscars, Bill Mechanic and Adam Shankman will not be back producing it! Together those two produced the worst Oscars I ever saw and I am so happy they will not be back! Hopefully not just for one year but forever.
A few months ago Campbell Brown resigned from her CNN show siting that the show was basically a failure. So how does CNN decide to replace her? They hire someone else who famously resigned from his position and that person is former-NY Governor Eliot Spitzer. In case you don’t remember why he was forced to step down from NY’s top post, here is how CNN described him in their press release, “a Democrat who resigned as governor in March 2008 after acknowledging visiting a prostitute.” I wonder if the news network will pay to get guests on the show, afterall we all know that he has paid for female guests on his last job.
BTW his co-host is someone named Kathleen Parker, I wonder why they didn’t go with former-Illinois Gov. Rob Blagojevich. It would have been fun to have to the 2 failed governors hosting the show together, they could have called the show Failure. Actually I think that is the perfect name for the show anyways because who is going to want to watch him. Well maybe the call girls he hired, so they can tell their friends/Johns/co-workers they did him?
Before someone knew Troian Bellisario’s secrets on Pretty Little Liars, she knew Sam’s secret on Quantum Leap. How absolutely awwwdorable was the 4 year old in that 1990 episode?
Salma Hayek was on The Late Show with David Letterman to promote her movie Grown Ups and she told him how much she loves to eat bugs. As much as I hate bugs and I like to see them dead, there is no way you can get me to eat one. Just thought of it makes me cringe.
BTW I wonder if her recent incident with a snake is making her want to eat one? Afterall they taste like chicken.
