2017 has been the best-attended Snubbies yet, so thanks to everyone who voted and suggested films, performances, and categories. To celebrate this new level of engagement, every category suggested will be included in the 2017 Snubbies going forward. (Going backward, … Continue reading 2017 Snubbies: The Voting
No cold open this week, we just drive right into it, and there’s a lot to dive into. For a show that rarely lets off the gas pedal (or drops out of warp, if you prefer), this week’s show seems … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E13: What’s Past Is Prologue
Welcome to the 2017 Snubby Awards! I’m your host, Billy Crystal, and tonight (and all week) we’ll be looking at the best performances and films not nominated for an Oscar yesterday. We’ll also look at deserving films in three categories that … Continue reading 2017 Snubby Awards: The Nominations
We can’t go too deep into a Star Trek show without some Shakespeare, so tonight’s title comes from MacBeth: “I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself and falls on th’ … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E12: Vaulting Ambition
First off, apologies for being a day late; I went to see a concert and didn’t get back until late. Sometimes life gets in the way of fake movie awards. Usually, we announce the Snubby winners and immediately continue on … Continue reading 1980 Snubby Awards: The Winners
We open on Disco’s power fluctuating — caused somehow by Stamets, found huddling in a corner, cradling his dead lover. The crew still don’t know who murdered Dr. Culver, so Saru and Tilly have to both solve the crime, and … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E11: The Wolf Inside
Late again this week; I’m in the middle of moving across town, and the boxing stuff up never ends. But we still have some time to talk about the best movies from 1980 that were overlooked by the Academy! Here … Continue reading 1980 Snubby Awards: The Voting
We’re back! And the U.S.S. Discovery is… not. After the spore drive mishap that ended the first half-season, the ship is in uncharted territory. Or, more accurately, the ship is in the right place, it’s everything else that’s wrong — they’re … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E10: Despite Yourself
Happy New Year, Snubby voters! Before we get into the results from 1981 and start discussing the snubbed films of 1980, we have to talk about the biggest Snubby night of the year — the 2017 Snubbies! This year’s Oscar … Continue reading Snubbies: 1981 Results/1980 Nominations
Sorry to post so late this week; I had an overtired and upset little boy to put to bed. But we still have some time to talk about the best movies from 1981 that were overlooked by the Academy! Here … Continue reading 1981 Snubby Awards: The Voting
Blade Runner ran away with it at the 1982 Snubbies, snagging awards for Best Snubbed Picture, Best Snubbed Director (Ridley Scott), Best Snubbed Actress (Sean Young), and Best Snubbed Supporting Actor (Rutger Hauer). In the Snubbed Picture race, it finished … Continue reading Snubby Awards: 1982 Results/1981 Nominations
Here are your Snubby nominees for 1982! This was not, let’s be honest, a great year for movies. And yet there were still some great overlooked performances, so have at them! As always, upvote as many films and performances as … Continue reading 1982 Snubby Awards: The Voting
I feel safe saying 1983 was the weakest year in the 34 years we’ve done Snubby Awards for. (I love Return of the Jedi and Trading Places as much as the next guy, but are they really Oscar-worthy?) But there’s still some … Continue reading Snubby Awards: 1983 Results/1982 Nominations
Here are your Snubby nominees for 1983! (We’re starting early this week because I’ll be traveling over the river and through the woods this evening) As always, upvote as many films and performances as you feel are deserving. The top … Continue reading 1983 Snubby Awards: The Voting
The results are in for 1984, and I only just realized I forgot to nominated Morris Day for Best Snubbed Supporting Actor for Purple Rain. Deep in your heart, you know he deserves it. Here’s who actually did win: Best Cast: … Continue reading Snubby Awards: 1984 Results/1983 Nominations
It wouldn’t be Star Trek without a hardass Admiral who doesn’t understand the realities out on the front lines, and a captain who disobeys orders because dammit, he gets results! Unfortunately, Lorca’s results are putting Lieutenant Stamets in danger. He’s … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E9: Into the Forest I Go
We have our nominees for 1984! As always, upvote as many films and performances as you think are deserving. Winners will be announced next week and will receive a gold statue of Spike Lee. Some of these categories have 6 … Continue reading 1984 Snubby Awards: The Voting
“If you want peace, prepare for war.” That’s the English translation of this episode’s Latin title, but this installment of Discovery is less focused on war and peace, and more on friendship and enmity. When one hand is extended in friendship, … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E8: Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum
Welcome back to the Snubby Awards! Nearly every category in 1985 ended up being a three-way race between unappreciated-in-its-time critical favorite Brazil, cult comedy classic Clue, and pinnacle of popcorn entertainment Back To the Future, with a few strong showings from classic teen … Continue reading 1984 Snubby Awards (and 1985 results)
I never got that into comic books as a kid. It took ’90s indie comics like Eightball and Hate for me to work my way back to superheroes. The comics of my youth were simplistic, and one of the clumsiest storytelling … Continue reading Star Trek: Discovery S1E7: Magic To Make the Sanest Man Go Mad
Academy of Snubbed Motion Picture Arts is happy to present 1985 Snubby Awards in their new home, the-avocado.org! Me very excited to be in our swanky new digs, and hope voting goes smoothly. As always, upvote as many films and … Continue reading 1985 Snubby Awards: The Voting
