Today was a busy day for some of the smaller guilds with the Visual Effects Society, the Cinema Audio Society, and the Makeup and Hairstylists Guilds all announcing their nominations for 2013.
First, we have the Ves, whose main category to look at is “Outstanding Visual Effects in a Visual Effects-Driven Feature Motion Picture,” where we find Gravity and four other nominees that are just going to have to be happy with the fact that they got nominated. This is perhaps the easiest category to call in the entirety of awards season, and I don’t mean just here, but for the Oscar as well (Last year’s winner, Life of Pi, easily took this category before going on to claim the Oscar). It’s true that films like The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug and Star Trek Into Darkness had outstanding effects as well, but nothing even came close to the amazing,...

According to a mysterious video, Mayor Rob Ford once smoked crack. He definitely posed for a photo with a young man, Anthony Smith, who was later gunned down and killed. And now, it seems that the house where Ford posed for that unfortunate photo has been found.
The Mayor crack house was identified by reporters at the Toronto Star, who compared the photo of Ford and Smith to a home located not far from where the newspaper's reporters had watched the video. The Star determined that the background was the garage located at 15 Windsor Rd. in the Etobicoke section of Toronto.
This isn't just your normal house either. Neighbors have voiced concerns about possible drug activity around the home, and police even responded to an assault call at the address on May 21. Although there is no indication that the video is in any way connected to the assault, it's yet...

Toronto mayor Rob Ford's life has become the stuff of soap operas lately.
While no stranger to scandals (the mayor was almost removed from office at one point), Ford has had a lot of allegations come his way recently. Gawker and the Toronto Star have claimed to see a video in which Rob Ford smokes crack cocaine. The Toronto police have allegedly spoken with Ford's office concerning an ongoing investigation. Several members of the mayor's staff have resigned or been fired.
Oh, and Gawker's "Rob Ford Crackstarter" campaign reached its $200,000 fundraising goal to buy the crack video.
Crackstarter
The campaign run by the website, Gawker, to purchase the video that allegedly shows Rob Ford smoking crack with drug dealers, has ended. In order for the fundraising effort, crowd-sourced on Indiegogo, to go forward, Gawker needed to raise $200,000 by the end of Monday, May 27.
They reached $201,254. A lot of people want to see this video.

The cynics may scoff at such things, but I love to see a company putting themselves to good use. When Marvel got an email from the mother of a boy with a hearing impairment, they ran with it. Anthony, the boy in question, didn’t want to wear his hearing aid, because, “Super Heroes don’t wear hearing aids,” and his mother asked for help. She got it.
Take a look below, and check out the poster.
