Hollywood's Halloween Awards

Hollywood's Halloween Awards


The Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre was the site of not your average awards show the other night. It was the venue for the the fun, and star-studded, Scream Awards; an awards show devoted to people, shows, and movies that have ever spooked or scared.

Fans and stars alike showed up dressed as vampires, skeletons, and zombies to watch trophies be presented to Keith Richards, who earned the ‘Rock Immortal award,’ as well as other shows like True Blood, Star Trek and of course, Twilight.

The ‘Ultimate Scream’ trophy was presented to the Star Trek movie. Guests were surprised when William Shatner got up on stage to accept the award. He made his point clear when he said, “”This movie was big. Imagine how big it could have been with me in it? … I’ll be waiting for your call.”

Oscar trophy trend, fact or fiction?

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt almost certainly are strong contenders in the best actor award category — shining, word has it, in their respective upcoming movies, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Revolutionary Road.”
But they and others might be up against a subtle force they can do little about in the best actor race: Oscar award voters tend to favor actors playing real people.

2008 Heisman Trophy Predictions

Could Florida's Tim Tebow join former Ohio State great Archie Griffin as the only players to win multiple Heisman Trophies? The Gators’ dual-threat quarterback is the betting favorite on betED.com’s odds for the 2008 Heisman.

Here is a look at betED.com’s favorites and a breakdown of their chances of hoisting college football’s most prestigious award.

Tim Tebow, Florida QB – 250: In 2007, he was a one-man wrecking crew for the Gators, passing for 3,286 yards and 32 touchdowns and rushing for 895 yards and 25 more scores. Tebow’s top three receivers return, including star Percy Harvin. So every 2008 Heisman Trophy Prediction list must start with the reigning winner. But Tebow wore down a bit last year, and Urban Meyer has said he doesn’t want his bruising lefty to run the ball as much this year and thus save him from punishment. So with Chris Rainey, Emmanuel Moody and even Harvin getting plenty of carries, there’s no way Tebow’s 2008 numbers will match last season’s, even though the Gators are likely a better team. Make or break game: 10/11 vs. LSU.

Trophy News From Simi Valley, CA

Winning the Heisman Trophy does not guarantee a college football player a long and successful pro career, although every football player would love the bronze statue displayed on their mantle. Even if they do not have a successful career, they could use it like O.J. did as collateral to help pay off civil penalties.
