'The Daily Show' Takes on Deflate-Gate

As a native Bostonian, I have no option but to root for the Patriots tomorrow, despite the cheating accusations against the team. That being said, I still have very much enjoyed how late night television has been handling deflate-gate. Check out this hilarious clip from Thursday's episode of 'The Daily Show'

Explanation to Deflate-Gate

If you are from New England, chances are this hilarious video has already appeared on your Facebook newsfeed. Check out this clip below from last night's episode of 'Jimmy Kimmel Live.'

First Trailer for 'The Fantastic Four'

Marvel sure loves to reboot its franchises. After making the 'Spider-Man' trilogy with Tobey Maguire as the lead character, the studio rebooted the franchise with actor Andrew Garfield in the 2012 movie 'The Amazing Spider-Man.' Marvel decided to make another attempt at 'Fantastic Four.' Check out the teaser trailer below:

SAG Snubs

When it comes to awards season, obviously not everyone can get recognized. However, it's really interesting that year after year certain actors get snubbed. Check out some of my picks below.

Charlie Day

Although 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' is one of the longest-running sitcoms ever, it has received zero SAG nominations since the program first aired in 2005. I think that Charlie Day, who plays Charlie Kelly on the FX show, is one of the funniest actors on television. Check out a great clip below from the show:

Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele

'Key and Peele' is one of my favorite Comedy Central shows of all time. Actors Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele are hilarious on the sketch comedy program. They each play a wide variety of characters on each episode of the show. They are long overdo for SAG nominations. Check out one of my favorite clips from 'Key and Peele':

New Titles to Stream this Weekend

Netflix has been in the news this week ever since it was revealed that 'The Interview' will begin streaming on Saturday, less than a month after the film was released in theaters. However, if you've already seen the movie, or you simply want a new show to binge-watch, Amazon announced today that the entire first season of 'Transparent' will stream for free this Saturday. Here is the link to watch the show.

'American Sniper' Breaks Box Office Records

At the age of 84, director Clint Eastwood had his best opening weekend at the box office for his movie 'American Sniper.' According to Box Office Mojo, it grossed $90.2 million, making it the largest January weekend ever. That title was previously held by 'Avatar' in 2010.

The movie is based on the autobiography of Chris Kyle. What you might not know about his story is that Jesse Ventura, the former pro-wrestler and governor of Minnesota, successfully sued the late Navy SEAL for defamation. Check out that story here.

Academy Award Nominations Fun Facts

The 2015 Oscar nominations were announced this morning. There were some surprising snubs and a few shocking nominations. Here are some interesting facts about this year's list.

1. Best Picture: Eight Movies Nominated

Up to ten movies can be nominated for best picture. The 2012 awards had nine movies on the list, but this is the first year that only eight were nominated.

2. Wes Anderson: First Best Director Nomination

After making memorable movies like 'Rushmore' and 'The Royal Tenenbaums,' Wes Anderson is long overdue for a best director nomination from the Academy. He finally got one this morning for directing 'The Grand Budapest Hotel.'

3. Bradley Cooper and Marion Cotillard: The Surprise Nominations!

Some years have surprise nominations in the acting categories. Remember when Tommy Lee Jones came out of left field and got a nomination for 'In the Valley of Elah?' Well, this morning it was a bit of a shocker when Bradley Cooper's name was read for 'American Sniper,' and Marion Cotillard's name was read for the movie 'Two Days, One Night.' Neither of these actors got Golden Globe nominations, SAG nominations, or even BAFTA nominations for these two films. 

House of Cards-Season 3 Trailer

Kevin Spacey won the Golden Globe award tonight for his work on season two of the Netflix series 'House of Cards.' The trailer for the next season is finally out. Check out the video below:

Golden Globe Snubs

The Golden Globe Awards will air tomorrow night. I love that Ralph Fiennes got a nomination for 'The Grand Budapest Hotel,' a movie that came out last March. Many movies that compete for prizes are usually released in the fall or winter months, close to awards season. That being said, plenty of people were overlooked for their performances in 2014. Check out some snubs below:

If you need a new show to watch, you can currently stream 'Peaky Blinders' on Netflix. It's too bad that actress Helen McCrory did not get recognized for her part as Aunt Polly on the drama series.

It always surprises me that year after year cast members from 'Saturday Night Live' don't get any love from the Golden Globes. I think that Taran Gillam should have been recognized for his work on the sketch comedy show. He is one of the most talented members on the program.

Actor Christopher Evan Welch passed away during the first season of 'Silicon Valley.' He was such an integral part of the show, that it's going to be interesting to see how season two will explain his character's disappearance. It would have been cool if he had received a posthumous Golden Globe nomination for his great work as billionaire Peter Gregory. 

BAFTA Snubs

The BAFTA nominations came out today. Most of the acting ones were pretty unsurprising. J.K. Simmons got recognized for his work in the movie 'Whiplash.' Emma Stone got a nomination for her performance in 'Birdman.' However, there isn't room for everyone. Here are a couple people who I think were overlooked:

'Interstellar' has been getting a lot of attention for its incredible visual effects and original score since it hit theaters this past November. But I really think that Anne Hathaway's performance in the movie was overlooked. It's too bad that Warner Brothers did not put out much of a campaign to get her acting in the film recognized.

Despite receiving both SAG and Golden Globe nominations for her leading role in the movie 'Cake,' Jennifer Aniston did not get a BAFTA nomination for the independent movie. We'll see if the former sitcom actress will get her first Academy Award nomination for her work in the dramatic movie when that list is announced next week.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
