So I return after a couple of weeks away, just in time to see Hollywood saluting its best at the Oscars.
But what's grabbed my attention instead? Hollywood (dis)honoring its worst.
Not only have the Razzie Awards announced their 2012 nominations for the year's most embarrassing work in big-screen categories -- Adam Sandler got 11 nods! -- but TV's Bennie Awards have bestowed their Golden Trashcan on the likes of Whitney Cummings and Teen Mom 2.
What better way to move toward the boob tube's big midseason push?
TVWW is hip-deep into compiling Your Midseason Premiere Calendar, so we'll imminently be alerting you when faves like Sherlock, Nurse Jackie, Game of Thrones and Mad Men are returning. And when new titles like Touch, Veep, Missing and Magic CIty are arriving.
In the meantime, isn't it instructive to know where the Must-to-Avoids lurk?
Check the scoop on the movies' 2012 Razzie Awards, now in their 32nd year of celebrating big-screen crap!
Also, the lowdown on TV's 2012 Bennie Awards, much newer and in-joke-named for NBC's infamous prime-time co-trasher Ben Silverman (in cahoots with the legendary Jeff Zucker).
Worst of the worst!
