Jim Carrey is still a draw even if he isn’t Hollywood’s most bankable star anymore. As part of the promotional circuit for his upcoming film Sonic the Hedgehog, Carrey has (I assume) been talking about a great many things to fill the time and today we’re going to touch on one of those things in particular. How avant-garde.
Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony saw many worthy winners, a few not so worthy winners, and some that’ll only ever be remembered in pub quizzes. It also produced an obvious gag regarding musical bellyflop Cats. The routine saw two of its cast members, James Corden and Rebel Wilson, take to the stage to announce the Best Visual Effects winner - in cat clothes costumes. Corden stressed “nobody more than us understands the importance of good visual effects”. Aside from the horrible syntax, the joke is a harmless shot at a massive target. So you’d think.
The Oscars have come and gone, leaving an internet’s worth of commentators, pundits and random blokes on their phones to dissect the results.

There’s nothing I like better than settling down late in the night, whiskey in hand – actually, I don’t have whiskey in hand, I’m painting pictures – and musing on the social, historical and political reasons why Howard the Duck was a box office flop. It’s a philosophical hour.
Let's start off with a spoiler warning. Although, I’m guessing you’ve seen the film already. Unless you have no stake in Guardians of the Galaxy, in which case you’re only here for my meta-commentary and sparkling personality. If so, we’re all good to go then.
Hugh Jackman star has posted behind the scenes footage of his Aviation Gin ad from one year ago to mark the anniversary of his truce with Ryan Reynolds.
Super Bowl adverts are some of the most prime TV real estate you’re likely to find, and for good reason.
