We’ve just experienced the conclusion of the Oscars for this year and seen all the years most critically recognized films get awarded and now its time for an awards ceremony that’s a little bit more fun – with the MTV Movie Awards whose nominations were announced yesterday evening. The MTV Awards typically focus on popularity rather than technical merit, but …
So it’s the Oscars this Sunday, which to most of us probably doesn’t mean much.

If you follow TheMovies on Twitter and Facebook (and if you don’t… why not? All the cool kids are doing it), you’ll know that we have our Movie Poster of the Day, where we hunt down the interesting posters for movies old and new.

Oh well, let’s see what’s on circuit this week to take our minds off of things. The Big Short When four outsiders saw what the big banks, media and government refused …
When it comes to the Hollywood awards season, we’ve already had the ridiculous schadenfreude of the Razzies and the sometimes confusing accolades of the Golden Globes (The Martian is the Best Comedy? Huh?!). But now it’s time to get serious – no, more serious than that! – as the Oscars are upon us! While the world is still reeling in …
Last week I remarked to a friend that despite it only being one week into 2016, I already had a frontrunner for my Movie of The Year in the masterfully brutal The Revenant.
