So, how did you like the Oscars? Surprised? Disappointed? Indifferent?

We'll have the results of our Oscar contest posted shortly. (Hope you brought your A-game…Your fearless leader went 21 for 24.)

As you might imagine, the news was dominated by Oscar talk this week. Some interesting behind the scenes articles. Also have more on what truly happened on the set in the moments before Sarah Jones was tragically killed. Some highlights from the week:

  • The rift between 12 Years a Slave's director and screenwriter boils over
  • The Ellen selfie was just one big advertisement (nothing is sacred)
  • Incredibly, buzz for next years Oscar hopefuls has begun
  • A look inside the decades long Bill Murray / Harold Ramis feud
  • David Milch's show at HBO gets cancelled before it gets started (disappointing)
  • What actually happened on the set the day of Sarah Jones' death
  • And, a content marketing message from an Oscar Winning Actress

Plus, all the hottest and most interesting Lounge discussions, a couple of cool trailers, and some great creative tips.

As always, I welcome you to discuss any and all in the Comments section below.

Enjoy!
