Like their films, Alfonso Cuarón, David O. Russell, and Steve McQueen are the frontrunners for Best Director. This race is locked up. It's locked up to that point that I am actually using it as part of my argument for Best Picture. Alfonso Cuarón hasn't lost a single race in his…

MVP: Ensemble Well, f**k. If that wasn't on of the best episode of Veep, then I have no damn clue what I'm talking about. Episode 3 of Veep's already brilliant 3rd season, titled "Alicia", reminds us why Veep is one of the best comedies currently on air. The episode followed Selina and her…
