Martin Scorsese finally won his first Best Director Oscar in 2007, which was his eighth nomination, for _The Departed_ , presented by his contemporaries Coppola, Lucas, and Spielberg.

His speech is famously chaotic and includes a torrent of thank-yous, a joke about double-checking the envelope, and a lot of names. But read it carefully, and it's actually a map of everything it takes to make…

Last week, _The Odyssey_ broke the internet and everyone's brains as people went bonkers over its diverse casting.

And now, over the last 48 hours, the internet has been set ablaze by a heated debate involving Elon Musk and the Academy’s Representation and Inclusion Standards.

Chaos reigns.

The prevailing narrative from people upset is that the “woke” Oscars are forcing filmmakers to…

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is watching the changing tech and the world, and they're determined not to be left behind.

Last week, it was announced that the 99th Oscars are stepping in to protect the human craft in a world we're seeing dominated by AI.

And that's led to changes in who can win Academy Awards.

We got a hard line on AI performances to a total overhaul of…

While the world of film, television, and other forms of video and content has evolved quite a bit over the past hundred years or so, it’s hard to point to a singular event and goal more notable than the Academy Awards.

You know, the Oscars. That magical television show where Hollywood honors its best films and greatest players.

To be included in the Oscars in any way is beyond an honor and…

It feels like forever ago, but in 1991, _The Silence of the Lambs_ , which is more like a horror thriller if we're being honest, won the Academy Awards. Since then, we just haven't seen much horror representation at the Oscars.

And last year, when Demi Moore lost for _The Substance_ , I thought we may never see a win.

But as Amy Madigan stood up there at the 2026 Oscars and accepted her…

The 2026 Oscars were a night to remember for lots of different reasons, but last night, Autumn Durald Arkapaw didn’t just break the glass ceiling for cinematographers; she shattered it into 70mm shards.

Autumn Durald Arkapaw won Best Cinematography for _Sinners_ and has officially made Oscar history as the first woman, and the first woman of color, to ever take home the statue in that…

Timothée Chalamet, _Marty Supreme_ actor and Hollywood’s most widely publicized awards aspirant, is not the story of the Oscars. At least, he is not the _real_ story of the Oscars. But the institution made him the story anyway and we are all diminished for it.

At Sunday’s 98th Academy Awards, the Josh Safdie directed Marty Supreme lost every award it was nominated for — nine in total,…

Sunday’s Academy Awards show started the annual tribute to the people Hollywood lost in the last year with a moving remembrance of director Rob Reiner, and an unexpected salute to the work he and his wife did on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community.

Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were found murdered in their Brentwood, California, home in December, following a party hosted by this year’s Oscars…

The 98th Academy Awards may have had a severe lack of LGBTQ+ award winners, but there were still three queer nominees who took home statues tonight, and there was an incredible performance from queer artist Brittany Howard.

Howard, the front woman for Alabama Shakes, performed “I Lied to You” alongside Shaboozey on the Oscars stage in celebration of _Sinners_ , which ended up winning for…
