I can't wait for tonight's OSCARS telecast-- earlier than usual-- 7PM on ABC or HULU with Boston's own CONAN O'BRIEN helming the show with pitch perfect acumen! But the fashion show starts on the Red carpet at 6!  This year's outcomes are still pretty much up in the air with only one category in the [...]

MOVIE: SUPERMAN

The Oscars Sunday night March 2 were masterfully handled by Brookline's own Conan O'Brien whose intelligence, sense of the absurd, and self-deprecating charm carried us through the wild and wacky tonal shifts of a long evening. He sang and danced and cracked us up, managed a heartfelt tribute to L.A. firefighters, and a straight up, [...]
