You might have heard that the Oscars are facing a bit of a wobble. Ratings are dreadful — so bad that the Academy snipped eight categories from the live presentation to appease the network gods at ABC. Producer Will Packer tapped skateboarding and snowboarding legends Tony Hawk and Shaun White as presenters, presumably in hopes that their younger fans will follow. (As Packer noted to IndieWire’s Anne Thompson: “Everybody’s got an opinion about this damn show.”)

Andrew Garfield has spoken out over Spider-Man: No Way Home being largely snubbed at this year’s Oscars, saying he is “satisfied” by the huge audience response. The Marvel blockbuster was released to huge success late last year, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2021 and the sixth highest-grossing of all time.

If you want to win an Oscar, does it help to have a nude scene? That depends on if you’re competing in the best actor or actress category.

Netflix had a big night at the Oscars, bringing home a total of seven total trophies — leading all studios — although the streamer failed to grab the prize in the best picture category and came up empty in the acting categories.

The Academy is sweating bullets. The 2021 Oscars will air Sunday after a string of ratings failures from other award shows. The Golden Globes in February were watched by a dismal 6.9 million people, down from 18.4 million in 2020. Last month’s Grammys were dealt a similar blow: 7.89 million viewers — less than half of what they were last year.

Actor and producer Priyanka Chopra Jonas (“The White Tiger”) and singer, songwriter and actor Nick Jonas will announce the Academy Award nominations in all 23 categories in a two-part live presentation on Monday, March 15, the Academy announced today.

The car of the future is a skateboard, and whatever you want goes on top.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, movies that never made it to the theater will be considered for the golden statuettes.

Bong Joon Ho’s Parasite made history at the Oscars on Sunday, becoming the first international film to win Best Picture (it also won Best International film, naturally, as well as Best Director and Best Original Screenplay).

None of the three acceptance speeches Bong Joon Ho made at the Oscars on Sunday night included a shout-out to Netflix, which is a shame; it’s tough to imagine “Parasite” making its much-deserved and historical wins at the 92nd Academy Awards without it.

Look/If you had/One shot/Or one opportunity/to totally make up for that 2003 thing/Would you capture it/Or just let it slip? Eminem chose “capture” for his surprise make-good Oscars moment, and that decision made “Lose Yourself” skyrocket all the way to No. 1 on the iTunes charts — 18 years after the song’s initial release.

"They are impossible to write on — they’ve gotten worse. It makes me want to go back to PCs."

A detective revisits the wild case of the missing statuettes 20 years later.

The Academy of Motion Picture and Arts and Sciences has ruled that films from streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime will still be eligible to win Academy Awards. The Academy had considered changing Rule Two, which allowed any film to be eligible for an Academy Award as long as it had a seven-day run in a Los Angeles theater.

Netflix has defended itself against a backlash to its Oscars run after some filmmakers - including Steven Spielberg - have criticised its films being in the awards ceremony. The streaming service tweeted that they "love cinema" but feel it should be easier for people who can't get to theatres to see films. The Netflix film Roma got 10 Oscar nominations and won three. It was expected to win the best picture award but was beaten by Green Book.

How is this for symbolism — Mahershala Ali won his second Oscar in three years for Green Book while the finale of his series True Detective was airing on HBO. For the first time ever, all four acting Oscar winners this year have current TV series, Bohemian Rhapsody‘s Rami Malek (USA’s Mr. Robot), The Favourite’s Olivia Colman (Netflix’s The Crown), Ali (True Detective) and Regina King (HBO’s upcoming Watchmen).

Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige is definitely enjoying The 2019 Oscars, as this is the year that one of the biggest box office smashes under his Marvel Cinematic Universe belt, Black Panther, is also up for the highest award in cinema. While walking the carpet at the Academy Awards, Feige made sure to acknowledge that this marvelous milestone by Marvel Studios is also happening in the shadow of more tragic one: the first Oscars to be held since the passing of Stan Lee.

Close, but no cigar! There was always something – politics, money, or the works of the great masters of cinema – that stood in the way of a Polish triumph at the Academy Awards. Culture.pl presents nine Polish movies in which almost won an Oscar in the Best Foreign Language Film category.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has reversed its controversial decision to hand out four Oscars during the telecast’s commercial breaks. Following a Thursday night meeting with top cinematographers, Academy leadership including president John Bailey and CEO Dawn Hudson have pledged to air every awards category on the live show a week from Sunday. “The Academy has heard the feedback from its membership regarding the Oscar presentation of four awards – Cinematography, Film Editing, Live Action Short...
