If you’re still sore about Cher and Diane Warren being denied a place on Oscar night for their Golden Globe-winning effort “You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me” — hey, is there any rule to prevent them busking on the red carpet? — at least take comfort in the knowledge that James Franco feels your […]

Razzies aim typically low
Posted by Guy Lodge · 5:15 am · January 24th, 2011
The Golden Raspberry (aka Razzie) Awards irritate me on an annual basis, largely because they’re such a joyless, unimaginative and, worst of all, cowardly execution of a neat idea: singling out the worst cinematic achievements of the year for a bit of a ribbing. Except they aren’t about genuinely failed artistry nearly as much as […]

TECH SUPPORT: Best Original Song
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 12:15 pm · December 9th, 2010

Listen to Cher’s ‘You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me’ from ‘Burlesque’
Posted by Kristopher Tapley · 10:22 am · November 10th, 2010
Cher and the Academy Awards made for an interesting mix over 20 years ago when she took home a Best Actress Oscar for “Moonstruck.” Though it was probably her threads that grabbed more headlines the next day. This year, the singer is back in the awards mix, though for her vocal talents (which have never […]

Do you believe?
Posted by Guy Lodge · 3:38 pm · August 25th, 2008
God only knows where the Telegraph managed to dig up this rumour – if it was in The Sun, I’d assume some intern made it up during a particularly slow bank-holiday interlude. But just for fun, let’s humour them and enter their world of make-believe for a moment. Okay? By that token, I’m excited to […]
