The Big List of 2007 Emmy Award Winners
Who knew the 59th Annual Emmy Awards was behind held last night? I didn’t, until one of the announcers plugged the show during a football game on FOX. Go figure. So I stayed around to watch the thing, then I found out that guy from American Idol was hosting it, and then they started to [...]

Industry trade Variety is reporting that The New York Times reported that diminutive faux talk show host Jon Stewart will host The Oscars telecast for the second time in three years. I guess last year’s host, Ellen DeGeneres, didn’t do very well. Or maybe she did. The fact is, I stopped watching the Oscars about [...]

Star Trek 11: Is “Heroes” villain Sylar getting younger and gentler (and less brain-eating’er) as Young Spock in JJ Abrams’ Trek 11 movie? Maybe.
“The Simpsons”: Variety reviews the Simpsons’ hop to the big screen. Verdict: “clever, irreverent, satirical and outfitted with a larger-than-22-minutes plot”. Um.

Nominees for the 59th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards
Some new faces, some old, and everyone is going to get creamed by “House” anyway if the Emmy voters know what they’re doing, but of course they don’t, so the “Sopranos” and its lackluster final season will clean house.

About three months back, news surfaced that the Terminator franchise had been sold and the new owners were gearing up for a trilogy, with “T3″ star Nick Stahl contractually obligated to return.
