Villainy Ensues
With the spirit of awards season upon us (Sundance is under way and Oscars noms have been announced), let’s honour some of the characters that the actors play in order to get their awards in the first place.

Dear Academy
So the Oscar nominations were officially announced yesterday, and while for a good part of my life I have always waited in anticipation to see which of my predictions came true, this year I haven’t really been all that interested.

The Scene
The Scene. The Scene that had been talked about and waited on for almost 3 decades. The Scene that allowed legions of film geeks the opportunity for a sigh of relief.
