Holmes & Watson Wins Razzies’ Worst Picture of the Year
The 39th annual Razzie Awards – which are revealed the day before the Oscars every year – were announced Saturday, February 24 with Holmes & Watson taking home Worst Picture of the Year.
The Will Ferrell-John C. Reilly movie also took home Worst Director; Worst Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel; and Worst Supporting Actor for Reilly – officially receiving the most awards from the 39th Razzies.
IGN put Holmes & Watson on our list as one of the worst rated movies of 2018, alongside Venom and Overboard. In our review we said, “The lazy gags, wasted supporting cast and unfocused writing make the film an unfunny chore, which evokes but doesn’t come close to their earlier comedic outings.”

Green Book Review: We Panned the Best Picture Winner
We’re republishing our review of Green Book, which won Best Picture at tonight’s 91st Annual Academy Awards.
Green Book is a sentimental road trip buddy picture about racism and classism and snobbery in the middle of the 20th century, starring Viggo Mortensen as an Italian-American working class joe, hired to chauffeur one of the most celebrated artists in America through the South on a multi-city tour. That artist is Dr. Don Shirley, played by Mahershala Ali, and along the way both men have heck of a lot to learn about racism.
They bicker, they bond, and in one scene they fawn over Kentucky Fried Chicken so much that the company is probably furious they had to change their name to “KFC.” They also encounter virulent hatred, corrupt police officers and dehumanizing business owners. It’s a cavalcade of opportunities for Mortensen and Ali, two of the finest actors working today, to build an enchanting bond on camera, and explore it as much as they possibly can.

The Walking Dead: “Bounty” Review
Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow…
“Bounty” keeps the nice momentum of this back half of Season 9 flowing with a tense standoff between Daryl and Alpha at the gates of Hilltop and a lighter, looser-than-usual Kingdom side quest to a monster-filled movie theater.
The Kingdom’s return to the season brings with it Carol, Ezekiel, the fair, and Michonne’s charter (which we hadn’t seen since before the time jump). It also gives this chapter a touch of levity, which his something The Walking Dead rarely indulges. In between modest shenanigans (COBRA STRIKE!), Carol and Ezekiel are able to ruminate about actual important things (the fair, the charter, the idea that the Kingdom may not survive after all, etc) while Jerry and Diane (who actually had a handful of lines and fun moments this week) quest for a
The Irishman Teaser Trailer Reveals Lines From Martin Scorsese’s Next Mobster Movie (But No Footage)
As part of the 91st Academy Awards broadcast tonight, Netflix released the first teaser trailer for its upcoming mobster movie The Irishman from Martin Scorsese. It doesn’t contain any footage, sadly, but we hear the voices of some of the characters, including Robert de Niro.
De Niro plays Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, who supposedly had links to the mob and was said to be involved in the disappearance of union boss Jimmy Hoffa in the ’70s. Al Pacino will play Hoffa. The movie also stars Anna Paquin, Ray Romano, Joe Pesci, and Harvey Keitel. It’s based on the Charles Brandt book “I Hear You Paint Houses.” You can watch the trailer in the video embedded above.
Scorsese is a Hollywood legend who is known for his mobster movies. He won an Oscar for the Boston mafia movie The Departed, while he is also known for Goodfellas, Casino, Gangs of New York, and Mean Streets.
While The Irishman is a Netflix movie, it’s also coming to theatres when it releases sometime this fall. For more on the 91st Academy Awards, check out GameSpot’s roundup of winners.
Black Panther Wins Marvel Studios’ First Oscars Ever
It didn’t take long for Black Panther to make an impact at the Academy Awards, snagging two Oscars early in the evening–one for Best Costume Design and the other for Best Production Design–and not stopping there. In all, the Marvel Cinematic Universe film has been nominated for 7 Oscars.
Upon accepting her award for Best Costume Design, Ruth Carter was quick to give thanks to Spike Lee for giving her her start in 1988’s School Daze, which he directed. She also gave thanks to Marvel for creating Black Panther in the first place, saying, “Marvel may have created the first black superhero, but through costume design, we turned him into an African king.”
“Thank you to the Academy, thank you for honoring African royalty and the empowered way women can look and lead on-screen,” she continued. This was Carter’s first Oscar and also sees her making history as the first black person to win an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. “This has been a long time coming,” she joked.
As for the Best Production Design awards, Hannah Beachler did the majority of the speaking for herself and Jay Hart. “I stand here with agency and self-worth because of Ryan Coogler,” she said of Black Panther’s director. As with Carter, Beachler also gave thanks to Marvel, who she said “lifted us up” every day during the process of making the film.
As the show continued, Black Panther stayed in the forefront, picking up its final award of the night for Best Original Score. Accepting the award, composer Ludwig Göransson remembered, “Thank you, Ryan Coogler. Ryan, working with you has been an incredible honor. I remember 12 years ago we were in our dorm at USC, writing the score to your first short film.”
