The numbers are in and 106.5 million viewers tuned in to watch the Saints-Colts Super Bowl match up, making it the most watched Super Bowl of all time.
Of course we all know the real story is what commercial stands out as the best of the bunch. There were some controversial commercials courtesy of Tim Tebow and his family, as well as some downright stupid ads featuring Danica Patrick.
But what are my favorite commercials?
An ad for the Late Show with David Letterman, featuring Dave, Oprah AND Jay Leno.
A Snickers ad featuring Betty White, who never fails to make me laugh.
I’m also partial to this Google ad. It’s simplicity done right.
In this week’s episode, Skins meets CSI meets old-fashioned melodrama when Emily starts to dig into Sophia’s death and question her relationship with Naomi. It was an emotional rollercoaster, but a good one.
On to the recap!
Love Actually (2003) and Valentine’s Day, which will be released next week, are essentially the same movie: multiple characters, big-name actors, and lots of love stories. The differences are that one movie is British set during Christmas and the other is American set during on Valentine’s Day. But judging from their trailers the upcoming Valentine’s Day will be just as much fun as Love Actually, which I make a point of watching every Christmas.
I just learned that Daria, the MTV animated series that aired from 1997 to 2002, is going to be released on DVD this year.
Watching this teaser trailer is a reminder of what made Daria so great. This is a animated series unlike any other on TV. And Daria Morgendorffer was just…cool.
The 82 Annual Academy Awards nominees were announced Tuesday with Avatar and The Hurt Locker receiving the most nominations (nine each). I’ve taken a few days to wrap my head around the nominees. Read my opinions after the jump.
And the nominees for the 82nd Academy Awards are…
The Skins gang has returned for another season of mayhem, debauchery and all-around good fun. Series 4 began with a moment that is going to rock the group for the remaining seven episodes. Read the recap after the jump.
Follow the link to my first live blog of the 2010 awards season.
And the winners are:
Best Supporting Actor: Christophe Waltz, Inglorious Basterds
Best Supporting Actress: Mo’Nique, Precious
Best Actress: Sandra Bullock, Blind Side
Best Actor: Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart
Best Ensemble: Inglorious Basterds.
I’d say except for Best Picture , the acting prizes are essentially set in stone. That 10 Best Picture nominees is really going to throw this year’s Academy Awards for a loop.
But a nice one!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Betty White is an absolute doll. Just listen to her light up when she talks about Golden Girls (“Hi girls!). Here is her interview on Lopez Tonight, which is quickly becoming a must-see late night show for.
Not only is Betty a whore, but she also admits to crushing on Robert Redford. But she just wishes the Screen Actors Guild wasn’t referred to as SAG.
Betty White is receiving a lifetime achievemnt award from the Screen Actors Guild tomorrow night. She’s great. I can’t wait to watch that acceptance speech.
Judy Craymer, the producer of Mamma Mia!, is planning a Spice Girls musical. Craymer and Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller are working together on the musical for London’s West End. The working title is Viva Forever.
Now this is a musical I would love to see. As a product of the 90s, the Spice Girls defined my childhood. I even went to see their reunion tour in 2008. This musical is great and fun way to celebrate the band, who will never ever have another world tour.
