MTV Video Music Awards 2016: And The Nominees Are...

It’s that time of year again when we eagerly anticipate some sort of broadcast disaster.


The nominations for this year’s MTV Video Music Awards have been announced, and it’s pretty much all about Beyonce (and a little bit about Adele).



Kanye West’s controversial “Famous” was, of course, nominated.  


Who knows?  Maybe Fergie was right to predict that his and Kim Kardashian’s feud with Taylor Swift was one big hoax, and we should expect to see the trio take the stage that night.  Together.  Holding hands.  Laughing.

2016 Spring TV Awards: And the Winners Are...


Some shows went out on top this week.


Others shows went out like Kim Kardashian in the Kim Kardashian sex tape; that is, on the bottom.


With the spring television season now behind us, it"s time to take a look back at the best and the worst from the past few months on the small screen…




1. Worst Cliffhanger


Worst cliffhanger

EMPIRE. Promos teased that a “Lyon would fall.” This ended up being literally the case, with two members of the family falling off a building, with viewers needing to wait until next season to learn who died. Lame! Empire is a strong enough show that it need not rely on such a transparent cliffhanger.



2. Best Plot Twist


Best plot twist

SUPERNATURAL. The Darkness is God’s sister?!? What? Huh?!? It’s creativity such as this that has kept the show humming for 11 seasons and counting.



3. Worst Plot Twist


Worst plot twist

CASTLE. The reveal of LokSat was not worth the wait. Not by a long shot. It didn’t help when Caleb Brown magically appeared in the loft to shoot Kate and Rick.



4. Best ‘Ship


Best ship

Jason and Alicia, THE GOOD WIFE. The series finale was awful, let’s be honest. But the chemistry between these two was red hot all season long.



5. Biggest WTF Moment


Biggest wtf moment

JANE THE VIRGIN. We know this is akin to a telenova and we should not take it too seriously. But we did NOT see Petra’s twin sister coming. At. All.



6. Best Fight Scene


Best fight scene

THE 100. We’re still on the edges of our seats over Lexa taking on Roan.
