Last night Oscars had an amazing feel to it. This might have been the most memorable Oscars of all time. Without question, it certainly had the most controversial ending. Here’s a recap for you to enjoy.
The TV audience was treated to delightful arrivals on the Oscars Red Carpet. If you’re into style and fashion, then this was a special part of the show for you. Everybody was dressed in their absolute best dresses and tuxedos for this incredible celebration.
First, Justin Timberlake got the party started by singing Can’t Stop The Feeling to start the show. He and his wife Jessica Biel shared a magical moment on the dance floor. In fact, the whole crowd couldn’t stop the feeling. Next, host Jimmy Kimmel kept the jokes flowing throughout the evening. Of course he addressed his Matt Damon beef multiple times.
Later on, Mahershala Ali was awarded Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Moonlight. And Viola Davis won Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance in Fences. Jimmy Kimmel interrupted the award show by acting as a tour guide. He hilariously served as an intermediary between fans and celebrities.
In addition, Jimmy Kimmel kept everyone nourished by releasing candy, cookies, and donuts from the rafters. Nevertheless, it was a fun filled night. The stars shined and glowed.
Hacksaw Ridge took home the Academy Award for Sound Mixing. Meanwhile, the Oscar for Sound Editing was given to Arrival.Manchester By the Sea won the prestigious Best Original Screenplay, while Moonlight received the coveted Best Adapted Screenplay award.

Plus, Best Actor in a Leading Role was awarded to Casey Affleck for Manchester By The Sea. And Emma Stone received Best Actress in a Leading Role for La La Land. Finally, Moonlight won Best Picture after La La Land was wrongly announced the winner.

Emmys 2016 Recap: Red Carpet and Winners

Could you feel the good vibrations on the red carpet last night?

Hopefully, you got a chance to watch the Emmy Awards. In this blog, we will experience it again. In case you missed it, you’ll also appreciate my recap.

To begin with, the interviews set the tone for the night. There was a little something for everybody. Are you much into fashion and style? Did you enjoy seeing the actresses and actors strutting their stuffs?

We saw John Travolta and Amy Schumerarrive on the scene. Naturally, Amy said something inappropriate. And Travolta was cool like he’s been- for the past 40 years.

The Emmys literally started up their engines as host Jimmy Kimmel hitchhiked with TV and showbiz’s biggest stars. To start it off, he got a little Carpool Karaoke for us from James Corden. Of course, Jimmy was kicked out of the car because of his bad singing. Other celebrities including Julia Louis-Dreyfus kicked him to the curb.

Entertainment award shows are the highlight of an entertaining season. After all that hard work, talent is rightly rewarded by the Television Academy. There were tons of winners Sunday- too many to name everyone.

Jeffrey Tambor was the talk of the Tinseltown because of his performance in Transparent. It seems Transparent owned the night. In fact, Jimmy Kimmel handed Tambor an Emmy when the show first started.

Tori Kelly sang a beautiful Hallelujah honoring the memories of those we lost this year ending with Prince. Louie Anderson won the first award. Were fans pleased to see Mr. Robot take home an Emmy or what? Plus, Game of Thrones and Veep were recognized with multiple wins.

Moreover, The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story won big. Courtney B. Vance and Sterling K. Brown took home Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively. You also saw Key & Peele receive their respects they paid dearly for on the comedic side. It’s all about sacrifice.

To be honest, the Emmys were dull but enjoyable with coffee. I don’t fault the nominees because the TV shows themselves are incredible. I suggest more music and/or better clips next time. Otherwise, Everything was all good.

Who Do You Choose? James Corden Vs. Seth Meyers

BY: GURU JAY



Who do you watch late at night? After Jimmy Fallon, Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert, James Corden and Seth Meyers comes on.  How can you watch both at the same time?  Who do you choose? It depends on what you want.
Go with James Corden for pure entertainment. He offers the full package. However, if you want some spin with your ride, Seth is the one.  Do I sound like a car salesman? That’s the point.


Picture buying a brand new set of wheels off my dealership…The James Corden or the Seth Meyers. They both provide premium entertainment at an affordable cost.


I remember the very first Corden’s Carpool Karaoke. Stevie Wonder was behind the steering wheel getting ready to drive. I’ve always been wonderful and from then on I became a James Corden fan.


The comedic actor’s performance in Begin Again was noteworthy. I also like how on The Late Late Show he calls everybody out at the same time plus his tag line “And this is The Late Late Show.”  I used to blog “This is the Guru Jay” when I first started.

Now, Seth Meyers handles his business. Having Fred Armisen play in the band was a brilliant move.  Bobby Fischer couldn’t make a bolder opening.


Seth Meyers uses satire like trash bags. He always throws away a joke. His Saturday Night Live days prepared him well.  I think he’s a better interviewer than James Corden.


But I feel JC is the best comedian. That’s saying a lot because I used to be more familiar with Seth.  And I love SNL like baseball. Who do I choose?


Entertainment-wise my first choice is James Corden. His show defines variety. He doesn’t have an issue with doing it all. On the flip side, I feel Myers specializes in political humor. Guess who majored in political science?


Does Seth Meyers remind you of Alex Keaton/ Michael J. Fox from Family Ties? At the end of the day it’s all about sense of humor. Both celebrities have sharp senses. Kinda cheesy?

Introducing Tori Kelly

Let me introduce you to Tori Kelly. Born and raised in Southern California, the singer embraced the entertainment business at an early age. In fact, Kelly auditioned for American Idol when she was 16.
Right now, the 23 year old’s debut album Unbreakable Smile continues to sell units. Because of skyrocketing demand, producers are reissuing her album on January 29, 2016. Moreover, her upcoming concert tour should unload a busload of tickets.
I first learned about Tori Kelly after watching her perform on the Jimmy Kimmel Concert Series. Ever since then, I’ve researched her name in the search engines, listened to her music, and watched her music videos.
I believe that Tori will stay true to the music.
By and large, the singer’s discography shows a willingness to take risks. I’m of the mindset “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” Tori’s talent also takes us on adventures with songs such as City Dove.

Type Tori Kelly in the search box the next time you decide to browse YouTube videos. There’s something special about this California Lover. She is nominated for Best New Artist Grammy on purpose. She’s capable of competing with Meghan Trainor. That’s why the legendary LL Cool J and the exciting Ed Sheeran make music with her.
The I Was Made For Loving You songstress was also made for loving music. Her passion for music inspires thousands. In a couple of years, she’ll be inspiring millions without a doubt.
As far as style, Tori Kelly is a mixture of Jessie J and Alicia Keys. However, instead of banging ebonies and ivories like Keys, Kelly vigorously plucks silver guitar strings. She isn’t scared chicken shit by gossip. I believe Kelly has fully developed as a music artist. Not only is her skin thick, but it is “sho ‘nuff pretty.”

Although she’s far from her prime, she’s had 7 years since American Idol to work on her sound. I don’t jump on bandwagons I build them. Come ride the Tori Kelly express with me.

Back to the Future Back to the Future Day Celebs Doc Hollywood Ellen DeGeneres Family Ties Guru Jay Inspiration Jimmy Kimmel Michael J. Fox Movies Parkinson's disease Spin City time travel

It’s a Celebration of Michael J. Fox!

BY: GURU JAY

  

Today October 21, 2015 marks a prophetic date from Back to the Future. Fans call this “Back to the Future Day.” You’ll read about this all over the Internet. Plus, you’ll hear about this on all of the cable news channels and every major TV network worth its weight in salt.
This post pays tribute to the one and only Michael J. Fox.
Michael J. Fox remains my favorite celebrity since childhood. Who can forget about Life with Mikey? Growing up, I used to watch Family Ties reruns and Spin City episodes with a passion. Man, TV was a lot different then. I can’t tell you how many times I saw the Back to the Future franchise on TBS, NBC, ABC and ‘you pick a station.’

 

I’ve been wanting to blog about Michael J. Fox for months. I couldn’t pick a better time than now to publish this post. Sometimes, you have to go with the flow and surf the waves.
It’s a celebration of Michael J. Fox here at Guru Jay. This phenomenal person happens to be a phenomenal actor as well. Despite living with Parkinson’s disease, Michael continues to shine his light. I don’t believe that he realizes his powerful effect on people as an actor and advocate.

A few years ago, I recall watching Doc Hollywood with my mom and big brother during a snowy winter night. It was right around Christmas and we were in the spirit eating cookies and drinking hot chocolate. We watched a lot of movies around this time, but I only remember seeing Doc Hollywood.

You see just when we thought we had seen every Michael J. Fox movie we came across Doc Hollywood On Demand. Watching this movie remains one of the best family bonding moments because of Michael J. Fox’s perseverance. I didn’t know while filming that the actor started showing symptoms for the first time and trembling. In spite of physical challenges, Michael J. Fox delivered a body of work to behold. Celebrate Michael J. Fox for his acting and activism.

Actress Amy Schumer comedy entertainers Funny Ghostbusters Guru Jay Hollywood Stars Identity Thief Jimmy Fallon Jimmy Kimmel Melissa McCarthy Mike and Molly Movies Spy Standup Comics Tracy Morgan

Why Melissa McCarthy Ain’t Afraid of No Ghost

BY: GURU JAY

If you want to deliver a timely joke, don’t bother with UPS, Fed EX, and certainly the post office. Melissa McCarthy delivers the complete package ahead of schedule. The Ghostbusters lead actress answers the epic question: who you gonna call?
As Mike’s better half, she made you laugh on TV. Do you catch Mike and Molly reruns? Plus, she stole Jason Bateman’s credit in Identity Thief. Are you getting my drift?
Prepare to lose your monopoly game against Melissa McCarthy. She gives McCarthyism a new meaning. You see I like her professionalism. The comedic actor doesn’t waste time or talent. What is more, the comedian paved the way for future entertainers.
Doesn’t she have a strong influence on Amy Schumer? People enjoy seeing Molly shine because Mel’s down-to-earth. Although some let fame go to their noggins, not this gal. After watching numerous interviews, you’ll discover she’s a sweetie.

Imagine her starring opposite Tracy Morgan. Talk about a movie selling itself.
Now, I’m not saying the Spy star doesn’t have a wild side. There is a reason Hollywood movers and shakers knock on her dressing room door. Did you know she is a fashion queen?
The best celebrities build brands as well as careers. Moreover, Melissa McCarthy works with the best. That’s why she is a great comedian.
Never underestimate the former gymnast’s flexibility. When you have a chance, check out the comic’s Saturday Night Live scenes for proof. The celeb’s Improv skills are top notch.
Let’s petition a Melissa McCarthy late show. Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon should have perfect competition. 
Genuine laughter is harder to produce than crude oil. Right now, Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy’s tickets cost more than a barrel of oil. This is a sign of the times.
In summary, Melissa McCarthy brings it on home. She isn’t scared to speak her mind. And, fans appreciate her honesty.

ABC Celebrity comedy Conan O'Brien David Letterman Funny Guru Jay Hollywood Jay Leno Jimmy Fallon Jimmy Kimmel late show NBC SNL Stephen Colbert tonight show TV TV and Showbiz

Who’s Watching? Jimmy Kimmel Vs. Jimmy Fallon

BY: GURU JAY

Jimmy Kimmel doesn’t go on live, though they call his show Jimmy Kimmel Live. Imagine Saturday Night Live prerecording episodes. Despite this misleading title, I shamefully watch Kimmel more often than the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Overall, Kimmel built a better platform because the offbeat comedian surrounds himself with terrific talents from Cousin Sal to Guillermo to Matt Damon. Fallon works harder and relies on himself more than others. Sometimes, Fallon seems exhausted as if he’s burning out like birthday candles in Antarctica.
Kimmel’s sense of humor is more sustaining, although Fallon is the most entertaining  What will happen when Stephen Colbert takes over after David Letterman? Can Colbert compete with awaken forces Fat Jimmy and Slim Jim? Who’s ratings will nosedive?

From this point forward I’ll occasionally address Kimmel as Big Jimmy and Fallon as Slim Jim. Big Jimmy built his show from scratch, while Slim Jim took part of a hostile takeover. Conan O’Brien should have been bigger than Johnny Carson. Is that the real reason why Jay Leno stalled Conan’s initiation ruining the Tonight show’s ratings and standing? 

I understand Conan has a huge ego, but Colbert’s ego isn’t any larger. O’Brien was simply the best. In fact, Conan was ABC’s worst nightmare.
Slim Jim is highly creative and wildly talented. But Fallon took a shortcut on the roads to riches- road blocking Conan O’Brien. NBC’s executives have made disgusting decisions. Although Fallon serves as a wonderful host, look at how this network treated past hosts and tell me if Slim Jim won’t get eaten alive.
In the end, Big Jimmy is victorious because he’s well established in Hollywood. The real debate is whether the new CBS Late Show with Stephen Colbert can put the Tonight Show to bed. While I’m a Jimmy Fallon fan, I won’t watch NBC until they act right.
