SANTA MONICA—Saturday was the Screen Actors Guild Awards and Sunday was the Film Independent Spirit Awards. The awards were handed out in Santa Monica with “Saturday Night Live” alum Aidy Bryant serving as the host to the ceremony paying tribute to independent movies in the cinematic universe. Hate to say it, but they tend to be some of the...

HOLLYWOOD—A massive precursor to what could unfold come Oscar Sunday on March 10 was previewed on Saturday, February 24 as the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards were handed out. The SAG Awards are pretty indicative of where things could be headed in terms of the Academy Awards, but it is important to note, SAG is not always accurate. We have...

HOLLYWOOD—Well, that happened a lot sooner than later on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” I knew Zende was attracted to Luna and was making a play for her, but jeez, that happened much faster after Luna indulged in a few of Poppy’s ‘special mints.’ Yeah, those mints caused Luna to get high and she slept with Zende as a...

HOLLYWOOD—The war between Christine ‘Cricket’ and Phyllis continues on “The Young and the Restless.” I must admit I do like this rivalry because these ladies have long history and in the middle of it all is Danny. Danny is conflicted about his emotions and I cannot understand it. Danny and Cricket are like the daytime romance of “Y&R” that...

HOLLYWOOD—Is Victoria Franklin dead? That is the mystery fans were left with on last week’s episode of “The Oval.” This week’s episode, ‘Adjust and Adapt’ picked up with that ‘shocking’ moment as Kareem and Antonio panicked, just as Donald entered the fray. Hunter got a treat of watching the video and seeing Victoria out cold on the floor. Aaron was...

HOLLYWOOD—My instinct was right; I knew Stefan and Ava would ultimately hook up on “Days of Our Lives.” The tension between these two who were forced to work together to protect their loved ones, got drunk and gave into temptation, not once, but twice. Both were horrified after the deed, but Stefan even more. Why? It meant he cheated...

HOLLYWOOD—It was the episode of reckoning on “The Oval.” Betrayals erupted, but along the ways some secrets were exposed as well with this week’s episode, ‘No Regrets.’ It witnessed Simone and Bobby committing the ultimate deed where there is no turning back. Bobby realized it was a mistake, but Simone did not see it that way. Bobby resisting a beautiful...

HOLLYWOOD—The first sign that an addict is serious about kicking a bad habit is admitting they have a problem, which is exactly what Nikki Newman is doing on “The Young and the Restless.” Nikki has been struggling with her sobriety ever since Jordan and Claire’s plot for revenge. It has been a downward spiral, one that is riveting to...

LOS ANGELES—I said I wasn’t going to watch the Grammy Awards because the previous few years have been so disappointing, the ceremony tends to go way longer than any other award show during awards season, but I’m glad I watched. I can do without Trevor Noah as host; he does a little too much. Chill with the theatrics and...

HOLLYWOOD—Who is the power player? That is the question that remains on Tyler Perry’s “The Oval.” This week’s episode, ‘Bed of Lies’ continued to witness Hunter Franklin make moves to regain his power as the President of the United States. Really? Those masked people were with Sam. That is a terrible cliffhanger to say the least. Nancy was sworn to...
