At the Screen Actors Guild Awards, performances take precedence over the usual awards season politics. This year’s 20th annual broadcast was no exception, with actors from both the film and television industries joining forces to celebrate the best performances of the year.
As the first big awards show of the year, the Golden Globes showcased the typical red carpet fodder: snubs, surprises and a lot of celebrities drinking.
I was too depressingly excited for this movie. My nerves got the best of me as I was approaching the box office, and my hand started to shake in the realization that I was about to see Spike Jonze’s new movie.

As this Sunday’s 71st Golden Globe Awards approach, Martin Scorsese’s “The Wolf Of Wall Street” has garnered much attention.
We could make a bunch of predictions about who will win what during this Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, but we made a drinking game instead. So grab a 12-pack and tune into NBC at 8 p.m. Hope you don’t have an early class Monday.
With a new year comes a new beginning to the independent film scene in Gainesville. This week, the Avenue caught up with Jason McNeal, a film lover and movie buff who has been on the hunt for great, contemporary indie films to show in the area. “$5 Films,” as he calls it, will take place at the Wooly in the heart of downtown, located next to the Top.

An MTV cast member who breaks down “Guy Code” and “Girl Code” on the network’s popular shows will now be laying out dating code.

He might win gold medals, but Ryan Lochte can’t win viewers.
Is it just me or were the Emmys just … OK? Don’t get me wrong, I love the bits of comedy thrown in there (I love you, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler), but the big, expected showstopping number from host Neil Patrick Harris didn’t even happen until 90 minutes in.
