Filed under: Programming, OpEd, Video, TV Squad Lists, Reality-Free 1. I touched on this in a recent Brought To You By... post, but I'm rooting for the cable guy in those Verizon FiOS commercials. I'm not taking sides when it comes to one technology over another, I just think the Verizon guy is a je...

Filed under: Celebrities, Ratings, Awards, TV Squad Lists, Reality-Free Do you remember what film won the Oscar for Best Picture last year? (No Country for Old Men). What about Best Actor and Actress? (Daniel Day-Lewis and Marion Cotillard). If you didn't remember, don't feel bad. You're probably li...

On excellent advice "Never be a name-dropper. That's what Ricky Gervais told me over dinner at Jagger's house. Bowie thought it a bit out-of-order, too."...

"Well done Winslet. I told you, do a Holocaust movie and the awards come, didn't I?- Ricky Gervais Being a Jew, I'm not sure what I think about that. But it's got me thinking: Is that really the only way people can win a Golden Globe award these days? Either way, I can put that comment behind me and...

Hi All! It’s Jocelyn Vena here, MTV News fashionista for the evening. I’m here to share my thoughts on tonight’s hits and misses as the celebrities roll up on the Golden Globes red carpet. (And of course, you’re here to tell me if you agree or disagree, so speak up in the com...

Open Bar. Slavish appreciation of celebrity and the cult therein. The Golden Globes are not about who wins, really, but that doesn’t mean that I would ever miss an opportunity to complain about it. Watch as I discuss the television awards with a false sense of authority, write about the movie ...

Jim Carrey's Yes Man struck me as an awful waste of a terrific premise. Far from the retread of the Liar Liar gimmick that some people claim, Yes Man 's central conceit really resonates, and gets at a simple but profound truth: saying "no" to opportunities is safer and easier, but saying "yes" is mo...
