This year’s awards season has been a special treat due to the absence of a clear-cut frontrunner, with The Big Short, Spotlight, The Revenant, and Mad Max: Fury Road all in relatively close competition — up until very recently, at least. While early nominations were split between these four heavy-hitting movies, The Revenant has broken out in recent weeks as the various awards-giving bodies have had their ceremonies. Artistic intention be damned, the sheer technical bravado of Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu’s western may be enough to push it through to a big victory on Oscar night, if last night’s showing at the BAFTAs is any example.
I watch the Grammys almost every year. I enjoy a pretty wide range of music, but for a show that boasts to be "music's biggest night", they completely lack in showing appreciation for rock and metal music. Comedian and metalhead Brian Posehn wrote a perfect review/rant for the evening that sums up how most of us feel about the awards show.
After over a decade of being snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Canadian power trio RUSH finally got their just due when they were inducted into the pantheon on April 18th, 2013 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles.
What ensued might be the most epic award acceptance speech ever.
With Revolver’s fifth annual Golden Gods Awards being the ultimate metal party this year, nominees Stone Sour and In This Moment are hitting the pavement and taking the celebration out on the road for the first ever Road to the Golden Gods Tour.
The fifth annual Revolver Golden Gods Award Show looks to be the event's biggest ceremony to date, as Metallica, Rob Zombie and Tony Iommi will be among the honorees. This year's Revolver Golden Gods takes place May 2 at Los Angeles' Club Nokia and also features a headlining performance by Metallica.
