Gearing up for the Sochi Olympics, there’s been a lot of grumbling about, well, Russia. The games are in Russia and there’s nothing we can do about that- it means all sorts of terrible things from human rights abuses to animal cruelty to crappy hotel rooms for reporters, and that’s all very sad. But you […]
Community is back to its comedic roots, but not without some key losses along the way. Last season, we lost Pierce (Chevy Chase) and this season, Pierce died and took his former roommate Troy (Donald Glover) with him. Not literally with him since Troy’s till alive and all, but Pierce’s will offered him an opportunity […]
When an actor leaves a long-running TV series before its natural conclusion, it’s generally not a good thing. Sure, there are some series so long-lived that turnover is not only inevitable but necessary (while it’s key that Grey’s Anatomy has held on to McDreamy, where would we be if George never left and Jackson never […]
2012 was one of those years where almost all of our favourite movies were small independent productions that, come awards season, got very little mainstream love. 2013 was not. 2013 was the sort of year where we had to choose between two standout Leonardo DiCaprio performances to put in our Best Actor category. The directors […]
For the 7th(!) year in a row, it is now time for the annual My TV Award nominations. It’s been an interesting year in TV with the end of a whole slew of iconic shows (The Office, 30 Rock, Breaking Bad, even Gossip Girl) and a hit-or-miss group of network replacements (oh, Michael J Fox […]
For the first time ever, we’ve divided our annual My Theatre Awards into three parts. Each division (Boston, New York, and Toronto) now has their own set of nominations and their own set of winners. In the case of Boston and Toronto, they also have their own Awards Ceremony to celebrate the awesomeness that was […]
Welcome to Boston’s 2013 My Theatre Awards. This year, for the first time, we offer Boston-exclusive categories to honor our Boston My Theatre favorites. In 2013, we were pleased to review close to forty productions, and, because of the dedication of our readers and the companies who give us such interesting work to review, we […]
Masai Ujuri was already a recipient of the NBA Executive of the Year award when Toronto lured him out of Denver, and since coming to Toronto he has made a couple of huge trades to shed some cap off the Raptors’ books by dealing away bad contracts former GM Bryan Colangelo had given out. Yes, […]
First and foremost, for all you Michael J. Fox megafans (and really, who isn’t one?) expecting a recap of the delightful romp Doc Hollywood– a winning film concerning the comic and romantic entanglements of a big city doctor stuck in a small town- I sincerely apologize. This is not that article and, in all likelihood, […]
The Nominees have been notified, the votes have been counted, the staff has weighed in, and the Winners Have Been Announced for the inaugural My Games Awards. Now it’s time for My Games to join the My TV/My Theatre/My Cinema tradition of Honorary Awards (a special award for someone whose work goes above and beyond but doesn’t […]
Our rollout of this year’s Award Winners continues. We started with the My Cinema Awards (check them out, they’re awesome), followed by the My Games Awards (they’re awesome too) and the My TV Award winners (um… awesome!). And now at the end we happily send for the winners of the 2012 My Theatre Awards! Stay […]

Stay tuned for the winners of the My Theatre Awards […]

Stay tuned for the winners of the My TV and My Theatre Awards as well as Emerging Artists, Fan Favourites, Performers […]
There are a lot of exciting films coming out in 2013 (here’s looking at you, Catching Fire!) but none of them have us as psyched as the impending release of Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing. The My Cinema staff is excited, the My Theatre staff is excited, the My TV staff is excited- the […]
It has certainly been a long time coming but finally the New York Jets and Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed upon terms of a deal that will send Darrelle Revis to Tampa. In return the Buccaneers will send their 13th pick in this weeks’ NFL draft, along with a conditional 3rd rounder in next years’ […]
In the fourth quarter against the Warriors, Kobe Bryant moved against Harrison Barnes and began a cut to the rim, falling well short with minor defensive contact and a sudden twist, an improbable foot placement and tension tweak that lead to a tear in his Achilles. Staggering, he made two free throws, tried to walk […]
It’s strange to write this- a friend and I were literally talking about him just two days ago. We don’t make a habit of announcing every celebrity death on this site, knowing that surely someone else will say what needs to be said, but in this case I feel that I should write it myself– […]
Lance Armstrong has gotten a lot of heat for his doping confession, and rightfully so. We believed in him, raised him as our champion, and he betrayed our trust through the use of performance enhancing drugs. We could leave it at that, but it’d be unfair to someone who worked so hard, trained so long, […]
Let’s start off with the obvious: am I happy to see this NHL lockout finally come to an end? Yes, very much so. Will I support the NHL whenever it decides to return? Absolutely not. Allow me make myself perfectly clear: if the NHL thinks that I’m going to forget the last several months of […]
The NHL lockout is almost three months old and the NHL owners are holding steadfast, eager to stick it to the players like they did in 2004. The players have made some rather impressive offers and concessions, but we’re not seeing any of that from the owners this time around. Gary Bettman and the NHL […]
So just how big is this trade the Blue Jays made with the Marlins yesterday? Here’s your answer: if you made a bet in Las Vegas that the Toronto Blue Jays would win the 2013 World Series on Tuesday morning, your odds would have been 100-1. If you tried to make the same bet on […]
There’s not a lot that needs to be said about this, the best Video of the Week (day? how often am I supposed to do this feature again?) Ever! Basically, actress Mary McCormack (you remember her, the military gal who somehow ended up with Will Bailey) has a sister (Bridget Mary McCormack) in politics who […]
Today is day 1 of the 2012 NHL Lockout. Has that really sunk in for most NHL fans yet? I know what most people are thinking: here we go again! This year’s lockout is déjà vu for NHL fans who still remember the sting of losing the entire 2003-2004 season. One would hope that the […]
Most hockey fans will tell you that the 2004–05 season was a pretty dark time for the sport. For the first time in the history of North American professional sports, a labour dispute wiped out an entire season. When it finally ended, and the NHL returned in October 2005, fans flocked back to the game […]
TORONTO – On July 24th, Piers Handling, CEO and Director of TIFF (the Toronto International Film Festival), and Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director, unveiled some of the films that will headline the 37th Toronto International Film Festival. According to Bailey, TIFF 2012 will include the “most diverse Gala programme to date with films from Japan, China, […]
Next year, The Stratford Shakespeare Festival is getting a new Artistic Director. Antoni Cimolino isn’t actually all that new, he’s been with the festival for decades (remember when he played Romeo to Megan Follows’ Juliet?) and is currently its General Manager. But his promotion means a lot for where the festival is going. And, predictably, […]
