Following a year where Hollywood nearly self-destructed from countless scandal after scandal and huge cultural shifts, I suppose the fact that this year’s Oscars were largely boring and uneventful is something of a relief. The ultimate Best Picture winner, ‘The Shape of Water’, was perhaps a mild upset (‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’ appeared to...

Hollywood is in such a shambles these days that it’s almost a surprise the Academy Awards are going through with an Oscars ceremony this year at all.
