Awards season kicked into high gear this week with nominations for awards from the Broadcast Critics’ Association and the Screen Actors Guild announced. But it was the nods announced for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s 69th annual Golden Globes that most awards-mongers salivate over, and in this case, baited breath quickly shifted to a yawn. Why? 
Emotions are a tough thing for critics and award prognosticators, especially at this time of year. We start talking about who’s done the best, most memorable work and must separate our own personal likes and dislikes in favor of a more objective look at it all. This is why I am so torn on the 
The changing of the Oscar telecast guard that took place these last few days is enough to give anyone whiplash. During a Q&A following a screening of his movie Tower Heist, director Brett Ratner, who was set to co-produce (with Don Mischer) this winter’s Oscar telecast, used a gay slur when answering a question about 
I was curious as to what 2 Broke Girls’ last episode before the holidays would be about, given that they already hit upon Christmas in the Thanksgiving episode. In fact, just like last week, it’s yet another “lift-out” episode that could exist anywhere in the 2BG timeline. And no offense to Michelle Nader, the scribe of 
The Bushwick dwelling, horse-partment shared by Mad Max and Sweet Caroline is about to get a lot less horsey on 2BG following “And the Reality Check,” directed by Fred Savage (on holiday from Happy Endings, I guess?). Don’t expect a continuation of the stories involving Johnny and Cash or the girls’ start-up cupcake biz – this episode is 
Is it possible that the writers of 2 Broke Girls also write for South Park? Few shows other than the latter are able to squeeze in so many of-the-moment pop culture references into a 28-minute slot, but with shout-outs to Kim Kardashian’s aborted wedding and the unseasonably warmNew York November, you’d practically think that this episode was filmed live. It’s 
In the ninth and most recent episode of 2 Broke Girls, the saga continues between Johnny (Nick Zano), Cashandra (Marsha Thomason) and our Mad Max. For those – like me – who wondered why the weird name for Johnny’s girlfriend, we got our expected answer last night: so Kat Dennings can refer to them as Johnny Cash! Johnny 
The eighth episode of 2 Broke Girls came a little bit closer to providing viewers with some element of storyline satisfaction. Our ingenue Max has been flirting up a storm with hip-star Johnny (Nick Zano), one of the more appealing elements the sitcom has going for it. When he comes by the diner to pick up his 
Some rides lurch to a halt, and others decelerate in advance for a smooth landing. “Afterbirth,” the finale for American Horror Story’s surprisingly successful first season, was more of the latter. Penned by Jessica Sharzer and directed by Bradley Buecker (whose “Murder House” episode was an early high point in the season), “Afterlife” was an epilogue 
I’m not just recapping any old show as I discuss “Birth,” the penultimate episode of AHS’ debut season. I am now writing about a double Golden Globe-nominated show, as of this morning! (But more about that tomorrow). Tim Minear’s episode gave us what we have expected all season long: one big bloody mess. And also a
