Madonna ‘W.E.’ Track “Masterpiece” Snubbed By Oscar For Best Song
Tue Dec 20 2011 by Robbie Daw
A long list of contenders up for nomination for the Best Song category at the upcoming Academy Awards in 2012 is doing the rounds, and while some of the tunes that have already been nominated for Golden Globes are present — “Hello Hello” by Elton John and Lady Gaga, “The Living Proof” by Mary J. Blige, "The Keeper" by Chris Cornell, etc. — it appears as if there was no love for Madonna's “Masterpiece”, from her directorial effort W.E.

The Morning Mix: Trent Reznor Wins An Oscar
Mon Feb 28 2011 by Becky Bain
:: The Nine Inch Nails frontman picked up an Oscar last night for composing the score to The Social Network. Now he just needs a Tony and an Emmy to properly EGOT! [Spinner]
:: James Van Der Beek - or, as Ke$ha puts it, Van Der Douche - talks about shooting lasers among unicorns in the pop star's video for "Blow". [PopWatch]
:: Taylor Swift and Glee's Chord Overstreet took in a hockey game together. Just friends, or future parents of the blondest children ever? [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: Pop stars have a long history of using their music videos to advertise their fragrances. [Jezebel]
:: Mark Ronson will be writing all the music for the Russell Brand-starring Arthur. We heartily approve of Ronson, Daft Punk, Trent Reznor and other artists taking a sabbatical from dropping albums to compose a film score. [Vulture]

Sun Feb 27 2011 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Justin Timberlake looked quiet dapper as he walked the Academy Awards red carpet this evening, dressed in a classic tuxedo alongside his date — his mom, Lynn Harless (Ed. note: awwww!) The Social Network star was there to present an award, as well as support his Oscar-nominated flick. JT sure has come a long, long way from his peroxide blonde days of N’SYNC. Check out the singer-turned-actor’s red carpet look. More »

The Super Bowl of awards shows is finally here — the Oscars! Among our favorite pop stars to walk the red carpet this evening is Academy Award winner Jennifer Hudson.

You Be The Judge—Which Dance Should Win An Emmy?
Thu Jul 8 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Just like the race for Best Music/Lyrics, Glee received zero, we repeat zero Emmy nominations for Outstanding Choreography. We were shocked, too! Also snubbed this year was SYTYCD's resident husband-and-wife hip-hop geniuses (and 2009 Emmy Awards choreographers), Tabitha and Napoleon D'umo. Among 2010's nominees: two Paso Doble numbers from ABC's Dancing With The Stars, a Neil Patrick Harris routine by SYTYCD judge (and Miley lap dance recipient) Adam Shankman, and a So You Think You Can Dance routine that Cat Deeley told us gave her goosebumps.
Check out the five nominees for Outstanding Choreography below!

VIDEO: 10 Songs Better Than “I Am Woman” For Kathryn Bigelow To Exit To After Winning An Oscar
Tue Mar 9 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Kathryn Bigelow made Oscar history Sunday night by becoming the first female ever to win Best Director for her film The Hurt Locker. And just what did the Academy do to commemorate this monumental moment? They played Kathryn off with an orchestral version of Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman". It was a choice so cliche, that it made thousands of women (and men) across the country slap their palms against their foreheads and ask, "Did they really just do that?". Had we been the musical directors of the Academy Awards Sunday night we think we could have helped avoid such a melodic faux pas. Now, we're not saying that these are the best song choices that could ever be selected in the history of Oscars, we're just saying that they would have been better than "I Am Woman". Check out our picks after the jump—and no, No Doubt's "I'm Just A Girl" is not on the list.

PHOTOS: Pop Stars At The Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscar Party
Mon Mar 8 2010 by Erika Brooks Adickman
Pop stars watch the Academy Awards just like the rest of us. Only when they do it, they’re not gathered around a friend’s living room eating Oscar movie-themed dishes like “Inglorious Bratwurst”. Instead, they head to the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscar Viewing Party held this year at Los Angeles’ Pacific Design Center. Flip through to see all your favorite stars dolled up for Hollywood’s biggest night: from the Jonas Brothers, to Jennifer Hudson, to Glee’s Lea Michele and Cory Monteith, and American Idol’s Simon and Kara. And see which artist dared to wear “Hammer Pants” to Elton John’s affair. More »
Congrats On Your Oscar, Kathryn Bigelow (And Let’s Not Forget Her Music Video Past)
Mon Mar 8 2010 by Robbie Daw
As we've lamented before, there weren't really any music nominations—or any real music performances, for that matter—for last night's 82nd Academy Awards to get too overly-jazzed about. (By the way, T-Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham's "The Weary Kind" from Crazy Heart won Best Song, while Best Score went to Up.) So let's instead take a leap back in time to the earlier days of Best Director winner Kathryn Bigelow's career, when she lensed a music video for a seminal alt-dance band out of Manchester, England. Watch it after the jump!
