Since 2009, the Academy Awards have been trying to move its ceremony up to shrink the gap between the Oscars and its rival telecasts, containing the lengthy awards race into a shorter time frame. But a significant event might drastically alter the 2014 Oscars schedule, and it might not be for the better. The 2014 Winter Olympics are scheduled to be held from Feb. 7-23, which would be the Sunday that coincides with Oscar Sunday if the Academy held to a similar calendar next year. This... More

2013 Oscar Winners: 'Argo,' and 'Life of Pi' Win Big
The 2013 Academy Awards opened with a musical number about boob reveals, and no you weren’t imagining that. We expected a racier ceremony with Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy) acting as host, and we definitely witnessed a mouthful of jabs at everyone from Ben Affleck and George Clooney to Abraham Lincoln.

Oscar Discussion: Which One Oscar Nominee Are You Rooting For the Most?
Here we are, our final Oscar discussion before the big night. And the simple question is: who or what do you most hope wins? Okay, maybe not that simple… Do you know how many Oscar nominees there are this year? It’s trickier than it sounds. It’s not just a matter of looking at how many categories there are (24) and adding up how many nominations there in each (5 in most, but 9 for Best Picture and only 3 for Best Makeup and Hairstyling).
