Matthew Perry Made A Brilliant Statement About Women In Comedy

Our favorite Friend Matthew Perry made a brilliant assessment about women in comedy at the 2012 Comedy Awards this week. There has been so much attention on women in comedy this year. We have done our fair share of coverage of this issue but I hope the point that we have made is that women have always been funny but people just didn’t seem to notice. As Matthew said, “This wasn’t the year women finally became funny, this was the year men finally pulled their heads out of their asses.” More »

Bridesmaids Swept At The Comedy Central Comedy Awards, And They Deserved It

No one can say Bridesmaids wasn’t given a lot of love during this year’s awards season; it was buried under nominations including two Golden Globe and two Academy Awards nods. Yet until last night it didn’t get a lot of trophies.

Video: Dear Oscars, Consider These Female Directors

There have only been five women nominated for the Oscar for best director in the history of the Academy Awards and the first one didn’t win until 2010 (Kathyrn Bigelow.) Four women! In the span of 84 years! That is not a lot. Of course, when you hear about statistics for women working in Hollywood, that number makes perfect sense. Behind all the glitz, glamor and fashion of films it is still a male dominated industry. Only 7% of the top 250 top-grossing films released in 2010 were directed by women, 10% were written by women and 24% were produced by women. More »

Are Melissa McCarthy And Ben Falcone Hollywood’s New IT Couple?

At this time last year Melissa McCarty had close to no mainstream name recognition. If she was lucky, she would probably get a “are you the one in that show Mike and Molly?” And her husband Ben Falcone had even less street cred. But this year it seems like they’re getting Oscar nominations, TV pilots and movies deals every single day. More »
