It’s 2019, and we need the Snubbies more than ever! For the uninitiated, this is an annual awards show where Avocadoans vote on the best films and performances unfairly ignored by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The rules are simple: … Continue reading 2019 Snubby Awards: The Nominations
Hello and welcome to the first annual Tubby Awards, where we pay tribute to the best TV shows and small-screen performances not honored by the weird conglomeration of three separate Academies that give out the Emmy Award.

Sorry for the two-week break; I got caught up with work last Wednesday/Thursday, and by Friday figured I might as well wait until the Snubbies’ usual mid-week time slot came around. Besides, we’re closer to that other, lesser awards show. … Continue reading 2018 Snubby Awards: The Winners
Discussion thread for this week’s Disco episode, in which, (spoilers, I guess) we finally meet Rebecca Romijn’s Number One. No word yet on when we get to the fireworks factory and catch up with a certain green-blooded hobgoblin. Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E4—An Obol for Charon
Welcome to the 52nd Annual Snubby Awards — we’re like the Oscars, except we have a host and we’ll play all the Original Song nominees! And, of course, we recognize the films and performances the Academy unjustly ignored. I may … Continue reading 2018 Snubby Awards: The Voting
So, last week I missed reviewing “New Eden,” an episode that resembled classic Trek more than anything we’ve yet seen, given the away mission to a theme planet with a secret — a plot staple of TOS and TNG. I’m … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E3:Point of Light
Welcome to the 52nd Annual Snubby Awards, where we honor the best films and performances of the year inexplicably ignored by the Academy of Motion Pictures, and the worst host-related scandal we’ve had only involved swiping a cookie someone had … Continue reading 2018 Snubby Awards: The Nominations
We’re back! Discovery‘s season 2 pauses before diving back into the action, with a terrific intro that shows footage from the real-life Cassini probe while Burnham intones the magic words, “Space… the final frontier.” But instead of hearing about the voyages of … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S2E1: Brother
Yes, after an unreasonably long hiatus, l’Escritoire is back! Partly because I missed it, and partly because I’m stuck on my book and am hoping for feedback. And I missed reading all of your stuff! So after that shameless, desperate … Continue reading The Escritoire: The Winds of Winter
Greetings, fellow Trekkies. A lot has happened since we wrapped season 1 of Discovery. S.J. Clarkson was announced as the director of Star Trek 4 II, which was then put on hold indefinitely while the actors’ contracts are in dispute. Quentin Tarantino’s … Continue reading Star Trek Discovery: Short Treks 1-3
So, big Snubby news. First of all, while I had planned on 1968 being our final year, the show must go on after all. The elusive @Mr. Greene will be taking over, bearing you ceaselessly into the past through the … Continue reading 1968 Snubbies: The Voting
So it’s come to this, the penultimate Snubbies. Only two Best Snubbed Supporting Actress nominees, plus @Jeremy Phillips’ labrynthine explanation of which year Night of the Living Dead was released (short answer: ’68 and ’69), and the approaching (from the other … Continue reading Snubby Awards: 1969 Results/1968 Voting
After habitually posting this feature either a night or a full week late, we’re throwing a curveball an posting a day early because we’ll be driving across Pennsylvania tomorrow and after that, who knows. In what might be a sign … Continue reading 1969 Snubby Awards: The Voting
We reach the beginning of the Auteur Decade and near the end of the Snubbies (until the 2018 edition is forced to deal with the Best Popular Movie idiocy). While Catch-22 dominated the nomination round, it was upset in a few … Continue reading Snubby Awards: 1970 Results/1969 Nominations
Sorry about the week off; my Mom came into town, so I took her to a Broadway show last Wednesday as any good New Yorker with a visiting parent would. But we’re back to 1970! Unlike 1971, which was dominated … Continue reading 1970 Snubby Awards: The Voting
Hey there, Avocadoans. Many of you know me as Cookie_Monster, and some of you may have put a real name to that furry face, between my Snubby Awards feature on this site or Wiki Wormhole column on the Mothership. (side … Continue reading Me Wrote Book
First of all, let’s pour one out for Sean O’Neal, who deserves a pre-emptive Snubby for his finally-completed Dan In Real Life 2 script. He took a chance on me at the mothership when I was years out of practice as … Continue reading Snubby Awards: 1971 Results/1970 Nominations
Sorry about no Snubbies last week, it fell on the 4th of July, in which we celebrate this nation’s greatness by scaring the crap out of every dog in the country. But we’re back, and 1971 has turned out to … Continue reading 1971 Snubby Awards: The Voting
