The Golden Globe Awards will kick off the 2020 award season by highlighting the best that film and television had to offer in 2019. The television bracket is more wide open than it has been in recent years with Game of Thrones coming to an end, and the film awards have been crashed by Netflix. Netflix is responsible for two of the three most nominated films in Marriage Story and The Irishman, proving that they can create excellent original content. ...
The most popular television show in the history of HBO has come to an end, and many are expecting it to have a big night on September 22. Game of Thrones received more nominations than any other show with 32 total nominations from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, and the show is likely to win more categories than any of its competitors. That has led to speculation on just how many Emmys we will see Game of Thrones win six weeks from now....
Did you know that 2.2 million people are interested in going to Area 51 near Las Vegas in late September to “storm” the facility? The number of Facebook users who have already said they are going is more than 1.2 million and another 1 million have said they are interested in going. Do you really think 2.2 million people are going to show up at Area 51 in late September? You can bet on how many people you think will actually sign up to go there, as BookMaker has odds posted. BookMaker also has odds on how many people will be arrested and whether or not aliens or alien artifacts will be found. ...
America’s Got Talent Season 14 continues with the weekly auditions, as performers try to get into the live performance shows. In the auditions part of the show, performers need at least three of the four judges to give them a Yes vote to advance to the next round. A performer can also receive the “Golden Buzzer” which immediately propels them to the live round. Each of the four judges, Simon Cowell, Howie Mandel, Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union and host Terry Crews get one chance in the six a...
It was the battle of the Luke’s in Episode 4 of the Season 15 of the Bachelorette. It was just a few weeks ago that it seemed like Luke P. was a sure thing to win Season 15, but after Episode 4 it now appears that Luke P. could be in trouble. It now looks like Tyler C. and Jed are the top two contenders to win Season 15, while Luke P and Peter W. are the darkhorses. Let’s recap Episode 4 of the Bachelorette and analyze the odds....
America’s Got Talent Season 14 got underway with a two-hour premiere on Tuesday, May 28 with Week 1 of Auditions. The season looks a little different, as gone are Heidi Klum and Mel B. as judges, and in are Julianne Hough and Gabrielle Union. Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel are back, but there is a new host in Terry Crews who replaces Tyra Banks. Let’s look at what happened in Week 1....
Season 15 of the Bachelorette finally saw Cam get kicked out in Episode 3 and it appears that Luke P. may not be the sure thing many people thought a couple of weeks ago. Hannah showed her “beast” side a bit in Episode 3 and that meant bad news for Cam and it threw some debate into the thought that Luke P. already had this year’s season wrapped up. Let’s recap Episode 3 of the Bachelorette and analyze the odds....
Season 15 of the Bachelorette is only two episodes in and it is already becoming the Luke P. show. Luke went so far as to say the L word this week and there is no question he is moving extremely fast. The question is whether or not he is moving too fast, but so far Hannah has had no problems with anything that Luke has done. That should change, as this is reality TV after all and there figures to be some surprises along the way....
It’s finally over. After nine years and eight seasons, the most galvanizing television show of the decade has come to an end. Many viewers were left disappointed by the events of the final episode, and the final season, but it was a ratings bonanza for HBO. The last episode of Game of Thrones was watched by 19.3 million viewers across all platforms, smashing its own record as the most watched show in the network’s history. A little more than 44 million people are estimated to have seen every episode this season, and that’s a huge win for HBO despite the lukewarm reaction from the fans. ...
Only one week is gone and it already looks like we have a prohibitive favorite for Season 15 of the Bachelorette. Luke Joshua Parker or Luke P. as he is sometimes referred to is the early choice to end up with Hannah Brown. The “first-impression rose” has been a great predictor of previous Bachelorette winners and Luke got that rose from Hannah in the first episode. The question now becomes whether or not there is anyone else who can make this season into a race. ...
The most popular show HBO has ever aired will end this Sunday night. Game of Thrones diehards have had a lot to say about the final season. Most people are dissatisfied for one reason or another with the way the series is closing out, but the backlash just shows how popular this show has become over the decade. People might complain, yet they will watch the series finale this Sunday, and it could be the highest rated show in HBO history....
We expected there to be some surprising deaths in the final few episodes of Game of Thrones, but the showrunners still managed to shock us in the fourth episode on Sunday night. The first death was the most surprising. After managing to survive the Battle of Winterfell despite being seriously injured, Rhaegal was killed in a matter of moments midway through the episode. Euron Greyjoy’s men took out Daenerys’ second dragon with three well-placed scorpion bolts, leaving the Mother of Dragons with ...
We said goodbye to a number of characters after the third episode of the final season of Game of Thrones. Dolorous Edd was the first to die, but not long after that fan favorite Lyanna Mormont met her end. Beric Dondarrion died (for good this time), and Jorah Mormont and Theon Greyjoy shuffled off their mortal coils too. The most meaningful deaths though were those of Melisandre and The Night King. With the latter presumably vanquished, we can turn our attention from the battle between the livin...
We spent the entire second episode of the final season of Game of Thrones in Winterfell. It was the first time that an entire episode was spent in one location, and it’s understandable why that happened considering the show is tying together a lot of story arcs. We know what is to come too. There were no major character deaths for the second straight episode as the show’s creators gave us one last chance to see our favorite people before the third episode ‘Battle of Winterfell’ leads to a lot of...
The return of HBO’s hit series Game of Thrones led to a record-setting night for the network. Approximately 17.4 million viewers tuned in to watch the show on Sunday night, making it the most watched television event in the history of the network. The season eight premiere received largely positive reviews, but little of substance actually happened in a series with a lot left to tell in its final few episodes. That has led to Game of Thrones betting odds largely being unchanged entering the second episode of season eight. ...
The 91st Academy Awards ceremony will take place on Sunday night on ABC and odds are on the board at BookMaker for a number of categories, including all of the most popular ones. Roma is favored to win Best Picture, Rami Malek is favored to win Best Actor, Glenn Close is favored to win Best Actress, Mahershala Ali is favored to win Best Supporting Actor, Regina King is favored to win Best Supporting Actress and Alfonso Cuarón is favored to win Best Director. Let’s look at the odds for...
In just two months, the most talked about television show will be back on the air for its eighth and final season. There are just six more episodes left in the Game of Thrones saga, and tens of millions of people will be tuning into the final half-dozen shows. HBO has given the loved series a proper sending off with each episode in the eighth season rumored to cost $10 million or more, and everyone is asking the question. Who will sit on the Iron Throne at the conclusion of the series? ...
Awards season is upon us. The first major awards for 2018 will come on January 6 when the Golden Globe Awards are held in Beverly Hills. The Golden Globes are an initial indicator as to which films, actors, actresses, and directors are in line to win Oscars, so everyone in Hollywood will be paying attention to this star-studded gala. The Golden Globe Awards will be broadcast live on NBC on Sunday at 8 p.m. ET....
There are few shows as popular each week as America’s Got Talent. While many shows fall victim to the shoulder shrug and, “I’ll just DVR it”, America’s Got Talent gets impressive, durable live ratings every week. Season 12 started on May 30 and the show has consistently attracted eyeballs. On average, 12-13 million people have watched America’s Got Talent every week and it’s a favorite for families across the nation. With the final round of Judges Cuts next week and the Quarterfinals looming, it’s time to take a look at Season 12....
Can Joey Chestnut hoist his record 10th Mustard Belt? Chestnut has won nine of the last 10 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contests and is the most famous competitive eater in the world. The Kentucky native crushed the competition last year, eating 70 hot dogs in 10 minutes, crushing second-place finisher Matt Stonie by 17 hot dogs. Chestnut won $10,000 for his gluttony and will be looking to eat his way to more first-place prize money. However, challengers loom in Stonie and others looking to make their mark....
The battle rounds are over and now the competition is going to kick off in earnest on the 12th season of The Voice. We are now down to 32 competitors heading into the knockout rounds and there are destined to be a ton of solid performances. Some of the singers considered favorites after the audition process have been eliminated, but plenty of talent remains to see who will be crowned champion. Now it’s time to breakdown some of the betting action this season....
There’s plenty of excitement for the 24th season of Dancing with the Stars. Simone Biles is a massive favorite to win at her current odds, but there are plenty of reasons to believe that the applecart could be upset. Nancy Kerrigan is another former Olympian that could get a groundswell of support and Heather Morris is going to wow the judges and audience alike through the first few weeks of the show. DWTS has become one of the premier entertainment betting events and there will be betting on this show available every week....
One of the longest running reality shows in American television returns to the air on March 20, 2017. Dancing with the Stars will kick off spring with its 24th season and the competition to see who will raise the Mirror Ball Trophy will be fierce. Three of the top four favorites in the competition are former professional athletes, so there will be some familiar faces for the traditional sports bettor. The big question entering this season’s competition is whether or not Simone Biles can follow in her former Final Five colleague’s footsteps and win it all....
La La Land is the overwhelming favorite to win Best Picture at the 89th Academy Awards as well as a host of other awards. La La Land has a staggering 14 nominations this year, 6 more than the nearest film, and looks set to also boast the winner for Best Actress and Best Director too. However, the Academy has surprised us before and nothing is certain until the envelope is opened and the winner is announced....
Donald Trump is the President-Elect and is slated to take the oath of office on January 20, 2017. Trump’s surprise win sent shockwaves throughout most of the country and has led to protests in some of the nation’s biggest cities over the last two weeks. Although he will be the Commander-in-Chief of a unified government, there are still some very real concerns that he might not be able to finish his term. Bookmakers have since opened odds on Trump to not complete his four years in the Oval Office...
