These scenes for your frantic Friday are not of the S&M or Basic Instinct or even Secretary variety (that's a whole 'nother list.) Sometimes, you've had a really epic and soul-crushing workweek and you don't have time to warm up.  As those recent and soon-to-be-dispro...

Kate Winslet finally won her Oscar, delighting the bulk of fans who have been rooting for her since she dreamt of Hollywood in '94 -- 'they're desperately keen to sign me up!' -- or nearly drowned in '97. She never let go. So, who is next? Or rather... who is most overdue? Contrary to popular belief...

Braving the chilly winter weather, Kate Winslet was spotted making her way around the West Village of Manhattan earlier today (March 3). The Oscar-winning actress opted to go makeup-free as she strolled down the street, trying her best to ignore the paparazzi firing away in the distance. In a recent...

Over the past few months of the derby, my Oscarologist pal Tariq Khan shared his views on Kate Winslet and Amy Adams with Gold Derby readers.

In case you've been tied up with Oscar mania and are ready to go back to the actual movies, there are new ones. Whether or not it's safe to go back (yeah, that time of year) is another issue entirely. Links go to trailers. The Reader a nd Slumdog Millionaire are taking their highly publicized Oscar ...

• The former publicist of late actress/singer Eartha Kitt is outraged that Kitt wasn't included in the Oscars' tribute to recently deceased stars. She died on Christmas of colon cancer at age 81. "The producers are either 12 or have been living under a rock for the past 60 years," he fum...

I'm really trying to leave the gold man behind but he never unclenches his grip. Have you noticed the arms? Plus he has a sword... so, one has to move slowly away. Tip toe. Tip toe. I advise against sudden movements. Anyway, for fun I thought I'd dedicate a post to the dozen acting Oscar winners who...

OK, I know this mini-review of the big night is a couple of days too late, but I gotta say that, surprisingly, Hugh Jackman did not totally suck as host of the Oscars.
