The MTV Movie Awards 2013 |

Another year, another MTV Movie Awards in the books. The 2013 edition of the show has come and gone, and it was made all the more tremendous by the comedic stylings of Rebel Wilson, who not only hosted the show, but won the Breakthrough Performance award as well. Wilson stands out as one of the biggest winners of the evening, but she wasn't the only person at the Movie Awards with a reason to celebrate.

Are Puns The Highest Form of Literature? |
|
|
|
|
That is exactly what Alfred Hitchcock told Dick Cavett during an interview in 1972 (see video). If you are writing a script the use of puns can be very gratifying, although it may not be understood in the same and/or intended way by all your audiences given that their usage and meaning are entirely local to a particular language and its culture.
Visual Pun
The pun is a form of word play which suggests two or more meanings, by exploiting multiple meanings of words, or of similar-sounding words, for an intended humorous or rhetorical effect.

The 85th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. Life of Pi took four awards, including best director for Ang Lee, while Les Misérables and Argo won three gongs apiece.
Blowing past the distant Civil War history of "Lincoln" and the more controversial recent history of "Zero Dark Thirty," director and star Ben Affleck's rousing, reassuringly apolitical thriller "Argo" won Sunday's Academy Award for best picture. This was a rebuke to the very academy bestowing the prize: Affleck failed to receive a directing nomination for "Argo," joining "Zero Dark Thirty" director Kathryn Bigelow as the evening's most conspicuous snubs.

The Golden Globe Awards 2013; Winners and Nominees |
|
|
|

The Golden Globe Awards ceremony, the 70th in the history of the awards show, was held on Sunday, Jan. 13, 2013, and are considered to be a barometer for the Oscars.
The 70th Annual Golden Globes
"Argo," the retelling of the dramatic rescue of American diplomats during the Iran hostage crisis, and "Les Miserables," a big-screen adaptation of the Broadway musical, were the big winners at this year's Golden Globes. But the night truly belonged to co-hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler whose good-natured irreverence was a welcome balance after the last three years when British comedian Ricky Gervais turned the show into a roast. The annual honors by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association unofficially launches the movie industry's awards season.

"Lincoln" Leads the 2013 Oscar Nominations |

Only in Hollywood could a tiny, low-budget tale of a little girl named Hushpuppy who lives in the bayou take on a historical epic by master filmmaker Steven Spielberg about the 16th president's struggle to end slavery and the Civil War.
"Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Lincoln" will both be vying for best picture and best director at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony. The ceremony is scheduled for February 24, 2013, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. Seth MacFarlane will host the Academy Awards for the first time. Producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said that the show will pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of the James Bond film series.
