Ballots for this year's Academy Awards were mailed out to voters today, and in honor of the official launch of Oscar season I present my own annual list of nominations. No, these aren't my "best" or anything. No, these are what the Oscar nominations would look like if...

Gerard Butler Freakin’ Frenzy (Blog)

Gerard Butler to Play ‘Wolverine’ Baddie?

Poor Tyler Mane. Sure, he was pretty lame as Sabretooth in the first X-Men, but that doesn't mean he should be passed over in the casting of X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After all, while he may not be a big name actor, he did just star in a successful movie (he was...
