While reports say that the Academy just lifted the ban on Sacha Baron Cohen at the Oscars, I believe this back and forth feud was a fake. Just a simple way to help promote the movie, “The Dictator”.
Deadline, reports.
Will Sacha present an award in this character too? We’ll have to wait and see…

Oscar predictions for this Sunday, I haven’t seen most of the movies this year but these are just my guesses that will win:
Best Picture – “The Descendants” or “Hugo”
Actor in a Leading Role – George Clooney for “the Descendants”
Actress in a Leading Role – Michelle Williams for “My Week With Marilyn” or Rooney Mara for “Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”
Actor in a Supporting Role – Nick Nolte for “Warrior”
Actress in a Supporting Role – Octavia Spencer for “The Help”
Animated Feature Film – “Rango”
Directing: Alexander Payne for “The Descendants”
Writing (Adaptive Screenplay): “Moneyball” (because of Aaron Sorkin)
Writing (Original Screenplay): “Midnight in Paris” by Woody Allen
I remember, I once said Nick Nolte was snubbed from the Oscars, but I looked at the Nominations list again and saw him on there. I must of missed it, someone should have told me!
I hate most award shows, but the Oscars I like to watch. It’s pretty much the only award show I enjoy more than the others. Looking forward to the Oscars, Sunday night. I’ll be DVR’ing the “Walking Dead” while watching it.

The Academy were quick to respond to reports and they denied banning Sacha Baron Cohen. They’re just waiting to see what he’s planning to do. He’s planning to show up in character in, “The Dictator” (pictured above), but the Academy is worried that he might do something crazy and offensive.
The Hollywood Reporter reports.
Oh please, the Academy should not be taking him so seriously. The guy’s a comedian and a pretty funny one, I must say. I am looking forward to “The Dictator” ’cause it looks like a funny ass movie. I like Sacha’s films when he’s starring in the leading role. Yes, “Borat” and “Bruno” are both good movies. Sascha is obviously politically motivated ’cause all three of these films are based on politics, in some way.
I’m looking forward to seeing what Sacha is going to do this Sunday at the Oscars. The man is unpredictable. Since they might not allow him to show up as the Dictator, what’s stopping him from showing up as Bruno or Borat? Ever think about that, eh?
I’m looking forward to the Oscars this Sunday. I’ll be DVR’ing the Walking Dead while I’m watching it. I’ll post my Oscar predictions later tonight.

The Academy, just banned actor/comedian, Sacha Baron Cohen from attending the Oscars this Sunday night, even though he has a role in the film, “Hugo” (which is nominated for Best Picture). The reason? They’re just worried that he may come on the red carpet in character of the upcoming film he’s in, “The Dictator”. Plus, I’m sure they’re worried that Sacha might do something crazy & offensive on the red carpet (like mooning people or doing homosexual dancing to other men that he’s known to doing).
Deadline reports.
*sigh* I’m real tired of the Oscars giving Sacha a hard time. It just goes to show that the Academy can’t understand comedy. I know comedies have gotten Oscar nods in the past, but they would be family friendly comedies. I don’t think any slapstick or offensive comedies got anything over the years.
In reality, I don’t think he would do anything crazy or stupid ’cause he would be grown up enough to know what kind of show he is on. He attended the Golden Globes out of character many times.
He maybe controversial, yes, but this shows that he is talented at what he is doing, even if he is creating negative attention.

If she gets cleaned up with the drugs and sober up on the alcohol, then maybe she gets her career back on track for once. I’ll probably watch, and I’m sure a lot of you will too. Even though she’s the most hated celebrity, you won’t resist this. Yes, she’s done SNL before, but I’m sure you’re all wondering what she’s going to do for the upcoming episode. This episode will indeed get big ratings.
I don’t watch SNL much anymore as I used to. I used to watch it all the time when Adam Sandler and Chris Farley used to be around. I don’t really care for any of the new guys. I don’t even like Andy Samberg, Seth Myers or Bill Hader.
I only watch SNL if there is a good host or a musical guest is on.

So Charlie Sheen, finally openly admits on TMZ that Ashton Kutcher is a no talent hack!!! Has Charlie gone insane again, or is he telling the truth? Me thinks he’s telling the truth!
I respect most acting talent, but I HATE, Ashton Kutcher. He’s a terrible and boring actor with no talent whatsoever, plus he’s overrated as fuck. I’m sick of seeing Ashton everywhere.
I agree with Charlie, that the show “Two and a Half Men” will fail without him. The show belongs to Charlie, he was the one who helped draw ratings for that show to begin with. I like “Two and a Half Men”, it’s actually one of the better sitcoms. I wouldn’t watch the new seasons with Ashton.
Sometimes I would watch the old re-runs on TV with Charlie on the show. Most sitcoms suck. I only like very few like “Seinfeld”, “Home Improvement” and “Two and a Half Men”.
I’m a Charlie Sheen fan, always has been. WINNING!

Tonight, I’ll be watching the new “Walking Dead” episode for the 2nd half of Season 2, and after that, I will watch the rest of the Grammy Awards. I’m DVR’ing the Grammy’s while I watch the “Walking Dead”. I’ll watch the beginning of the “Grammy’s” tomorrow.
The only reason I’m watching the Grammy’s tonight to see how many awards the Foo Fighters are going to win. I’m hoping the Foo’s are going to get “Album of the Year” tonight but Adele will probably end up getting the win.
I know Adele is extremely popular. She’s even popular with rock & metal fans, I’m noticing. It’s just that I can’t get into her music as of this point. Maybe she’ll grow on me soon, but I’m just not into that mellow pop stuff too much.
As most of you readers already know, I’m into any kind of music with great guitar playing. Rock n’ roll, metal, prog, blues, etc. Sometimes I’ll listen to the mellow stuff when I want a break from loud rock music.
I support rock n’ roll, that’s my genre and I’m hoping the Foos will be victorious tonight. Good luck Dave!

Last night, I finally finished watching “24” on Netflix. Yes, I finished watching the last of Season 8, the final season. It was quite a ride watching the show. It seemed like it took me forever to watch the show since it was so long, but I went through it. I just couldn’t stop watching and was pretty obsessed with the show. I did like all seasons, but I’m going to rank the seasons in order of which ones I loved the best:
6, 1, 3, 2, 5, 4, 7, 8
Yes, I still think Season 6 was the best Season of them all, ’cause it was Kiefer’s best performance.
I really can’t wait for the big screen, “24” movie. I hope it will be a good plot. Hope it will have good action and hope it will be more violent and dark than the TV show. I can now understand why everyone wants a “24” movie ’cause Jack Bauer is still alive at the end of the show and people wanted more. I just hope the “24” movie won’t suck and that’s what I’m worried about.
Now that I’m done with “24” on Netflix, I’m planning to start “Breaking Bad” on there later tonight. I’ll catch up with the 4 seasons before Season 5 later this year. Season 4 of “Breaking Bad” is not on DVD yet but it will be coming soon. I’ll just watch the first 3 seasons on Netflix and will buy Season 4 on DVD when it comes out. After I catch up with “Breaking Bad”, I’m going to start watching, “Sons of Anarchy”. Those are the next two TV shows, I plan to watch next on Netflix.
I don’t know why people treat Netflix in a negative direction. I love the service, and I vow to keep it.

For the past couple of days since Superbowl Sunday, the internet has been outraged by M.I.A. flipping the bird at the camera during her performance at Halftime with Madonna. Why is everyone mad? Basically, because she’s on a huge sporting event and it’s on public national TV, NBC, a family friendly station.
A lot of people today, don’t know who M.I.A. is, because she released records independently with her own label. She’s not a major label artist, she was never mainstream until Madonna had her as a special guest duet. The internet is acting like what M.I.A. did is wrong and what she did is evil. She might even get fined for it and all that stuff.
What people fail to understand about M.I.A., is that her performances has always been crazy and intense. She loves to move around on stage and makes movements with her hands a lot. That’s the way she always performed. Watch some of her live performances in youtube if you see what I mean.
I believe what she did at the Superbowl was an accident. She didn’t mean what she did and wasn’t realizing what she was doing. She was just having too much fun and it came out of nowhere. I’m sure she has done this at her concerts from her tours many times, flipping the bird at the audience. Performers do this stuff all the time on stage. Flipping the bird to the audience is most popular with the metal genre, but rappers do it too. That’s what M.I.A. is, a rapper.
If a male rapper was performing the Superbowl and if he flipped the bird to the camera, then the people wouldn’t care. They would think it’s alright, people are mad at M.I.A. for it because she’s a woman.
On top of all this, M.I.A. is one of my favorite artists. I absolutely love her music. Her music is phenomenal, and I adore her. I’m always watching her live performances in youtube and buying her albums. I love the messages she sends with her songs. She’s very political, she’s an activist, and most of her songs are protest songs. I love her two singles, “Paper Planes” and “Born Free”. She’s just a great artist.
What she did on the Superbowl maybe bad, but whatever it takes for her to get more recognition in her music, more power to her. She just became a mainstream artist because of that. Madonna helped her get more recognition.
I didn’t find what she did a big deal ’cause a lot of musicians can be crazy like that sometimes. That’s how most of them are. A lot of people think what she did, she’s saying, “fuck you” to everyone, no not all. Artists flip the bird ’cause they do it in a good way, it entertains the fans. Ever been to a rap concert or a metal concert where the star flips the bird and the fans go crazy? It happens.
M.I.A. shouldn’t get fined for it ’cause she didn’t do anything wrong, in my opinion. She doesn’t owe Madonna an apology ’cause over the years, I’m sure she’s dealt with crazy stuff like that in the past. I’m sure she wouldn’t care.

During the Halftime Superbowl which had the legendary Queen of Pop, Madonna, performing with Cirque Du Soleil, feedback of the performance started filling up my news feed in facebook. Mostly negative feedback. People saying hateful things about Madonna.
No matter what you think of the Madonna performance, she didn’t get hired for the Superbowl for nothing. She had quite the legendary career. In order for a band or an artist to get the opportunity to perform the Superbowl, they must have a legendary career. That’s what Madonna has. A legendary career, so she is qualified enough to get the Superbowl gig. I think she deserves it.
I think Cirque Du Soleil was interesting. Madonna has always been well known to perform on stage with a bunch of dancers, she’s been doing that stuff for years. Even if Madonna’s performance was lip syncing for sure, of course, (pretty much all Superbowl live performances from the past were lip synced, anyway), you still have to hand it to her.
She did really good dancing up there. I was pretty impressed with her dancing skills. She still has it with the dancing. Not bad for a 53 year old woman, right? She was doing some pretty physical and technical dance moves up there. She also looked really good up there too. She did look a little nervous, but she pulled it off.
I thought she did a good job. She didn’t do anything sexual and she didn’t do any lesbian stuff or anything like that. She didn’t do anything stupid or controversial just to get media attention. She concentrated on the performance and music part of things.
She’s all done with the sexual stuff, ’cause that’s not her anymore. She maybe crazy and wild in her younger years, but she’s too old for that stuff now. No matter what you think of that performance, she still has it with the dancing. Madonna is an entertainer, and a rock & pop artist. I did like her song selections tonight too.
I’ve always respected Madonna. Even though I don’t like her current music today, I’ll always like her classic stuff more. People should give her the respect for that performance ’cause she certainly got mine. She did a great job!
