Motion Picture Academy Ups Teni Melidonian and MaryJane Partlow In Running of the Oscars

Mucho congrats to Teni Melidonian and MaryJane Partlow. They’ve gotten well deserved promotions at the Motion Picture Academy in running the Oscars. Believe it or not, this is like the work of UN ambassadors, dealing with all the crazy logistics and egos!

Here’s the press release:

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has promoted Teni Melidonian to Chief Oscars Officer and MaryJane Partlow to Executive Vice President, Awards Production and Special Events, Academy CEO Bill Kramer announced today. Melidonian will continue to report directly to Kramer. Partlow will report to Melidonian.

They’ve got the gold!


Melidonian will lead strategy, talent relations, special events and production teams for all awards programs and events in this newly created position. She will collaborate closely with the Oscars producers and show host, Disney/ABC, and Academy leadership, including the Board of Governors and its committees, and oversee the teams involved in developing and executing the Oscars for a global viewing audience.

As the lead liaison with Disney/ABC, the Academy’s broadcast distribution partner, Melidonian heads Oscars ad sales, marketing, advertising and synergy strategies supporting audience growth opportunities globally. Partlow will lead the teams in producing all awards special events throughout the Oscars season, including the Governors Awards, Nominations Announcement, Nominees Luncheon, Scientific and Technical Awards, and the Oscars Governors Ball. 

“These positions and department are vital to the Academy’s evolution and success as we head into our 100th Oscars and beyond,” said Kramer. “Teni is creative and forward-thinking—and her years of Academy experience and strong knowledge of our awards are a huge asset for our organization during this exciting and historic time. She played a critical role in the success of last year’s show. MaryJane is a truly innovative leader, and her prowess in producing top-notch events is exceptional. I am deeply grateful for their strategic partnership and support.”

In 2022, under Kramer’s leadership, Melidonian led the newly created Oscars Strategy division, successfully creating a unit working year-round on all awards-related programs. The team also oversees guest and nominee ticketing and seating for awards season events and spearheads member screenings.

Melidonian was most recently EVP of Oscars Strategy. She began her Academy career in 2005 as a publicist, advancing to head communications and publicity and overseeing brand strategy and marketing before moving over to lead the Oscars Strategy team. Prior to the Academy, Melidonian worked in Washington, D.C., including for the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia. 

Partlow joined the Academy in 2013 and most recently held the position of Senior Vice President, Awards Production and Special Events, contributing significantly to the Academy’s marquee events. Prior to joining the Academy, Partlow produced events for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Emirates airline and several high-profile global philanthropic families.

Harrison Ford to Receive Much Deserved Career Achievement Award At Star Studded Critics Choice Awards This Sunday

Bravo!

Indiana Jones is finally getting his so called gold watch!

After 50 years in the business and countless blockbuster hits, Harrison Ford will get career lifetime achievement recognition this Sunday at the Critics Choice Awards.

The star studded CCA will air on the CW Network this Sunday at 8pm. Chelsea Handler, who was brilliant last year, is hosting again.

Keep in mind, the Golden Globes — which had lower ratings than reported — had no Lifetime Achievement winners this year. No one would accept it!

What a great choice! Ford starred in the first three Star Wars movies, and one of the last group, as well as five Indiana Jones smash hits, American Graffiti, Blade Runner, 42, Witness — a movie everyone should see if you don’t know it — Presumed Innocent, Working Girl, and dozens more. He’s currently in the hit TV series, Shrinking, on Apple TV.

The CCA’s are voted on by 600 actual film critics from print, online, and TV, all with actual credentials. They are also big indicator of Oscar nominations, which are coming soon.

John McCain is Getting a Pre-Broadway Musical Workshop This Week, with Characters Including Trump’s Brain and “Karen”

John McCain is Getting a Pre-Broadway Musical Workshop This Week, with Characters Including Trump’s Brain and “Karen”

I wish I were going to be in town this Thursday.

A new musical called “The Ghost of John McCain” will be workshopped, including characters like Trump’s Brain and “Karen.”

Sounds like fun. Here’s the press release:
A by-invitation-only industry reading of the provocative and zeitgeisty new musical The Ghost of John McCain will be held in New York on Thursday (1/11/24), it was announced today by producers Quixote Productions and Max Fose.

With a book by Scott Elmegreen and score by Drew Fornarola, The Ghost of John McCain offers a unique psychological exploration of power, rivalry, and the human condition.

Directed by Marya Mazor, the reading will feature a cast that includes Ken Marks as John McCain, Hudson Loverro as Donald Trump, Major Attaway as Donald Trump’s brain and Others, Ann Harada as Karen and Others, Andrew Polk as Lindsey Graham and Others, and Angie Schworer as Hillary Clinton and Others.

In Ghost of John McCain, the late Vietnam War hero-turned-senator awakens, horrified to find himself back in captivity, in the afterlife, inside the mind of Donald Trump. As a prisoner of Trump’s war to win the approval of an establishment that Trump both reveres and scorns, McCain must fight for his freedom by engaging in a high-stakes debate over life, legacy, and American values. As McCain navigates the surreal landscape within Trump’s consciousness, a “Greek Chorus” of iconic public figures, including Hillary Clinton, Roy Cohn, Eva Peron, Teddy Roosevelt, Robert Jordan, and Lindsey Graham, rebel against the President’s relentless demands for affirmation.

Jimmy Kimmel Fights Back Against Aaron Rodgers’ Insinuations: “Might Be Time to Revisit That Concussion Protocol”

Last night Jimmy Kimmel hit back at Jets QB Aaron Rodgers, who said on ESPN last week that the talk show host could turn up on the Jeffrey Epstein list of names.

Kimmel was furious and threatened to sue Rodgers last week. Now, he’s just gone after him again on his talk show. Among other things, he says: “Might be time to revisit that concussion protocol, Aaron.”

Kimmel has no patience for fools, and calls Rodgers out for all his wacky theories.

AARP Awards Nominate Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, Barbie, Maestro, Color Purple for Grown-Ups Awards

AARP Awards Nominate Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, Barbie, Maestro, Color Purple for Grown-Ups Awards

I always look forward to the AARP Movies for GrownUps Awards. The nominations are out today and they’re pretty good. I’m a little surprised “The Holdovers” didn’t make it into Best Picture, but the cut off was five. I’m sure that was number 6. followed by “American Fiction.”

This has been a very good year for films, better than the last several seasons, in fact. Add in “Nyad” and “Rustin,” “Air,” “May December,” and “Ferrari,” and that’s 12 quality releases not including films like “Past Lives,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “Teachers Lounge,” and “Zone of Interest.”.

“Our goal has always been to ignite cultural change in Hollywood through our Movies for Grownups initiative. And this year’s bumper crop of masterworks worth a grownup’s time suggests that it’s happening,” says AARP film and TV critic Tim Appelo. “AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards fights industry ageism, and they’re a measure of social change as well as artistic excellence.” 

They usually tape a TV ceremony that’s aired soon after, with Alan Cumming as host. But that info has not been released. Still, great choices.

The complete list of the annual Movies for Grownups® Awards Nominees:

  • Best Picture/Best Movie for Grownups: Barbie, The Color Purple, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, and Oppenheimer.
  • Best Actress: Annette Bening (Nyad), Juliette Binoche (The Taste of Things), Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor (Origin), Helen Mirren (Golda), and Julia Roberts (Leave the World Behind).

How I Met My Mother: Luke Skywalker, Padmé Amidala Finally Reunited After 45 Years, 10 Star Wars Movies

Star Wars fans are probably saying, “Luke I am your mother.”

Actor Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, finally met his fictional mother at the Golden Globes.

Hamill posted a picture of himself with Natalie Portman, who played Padmé Amidala, Luke’s mother, in the second round of “Star Wars” movies. Weird that their paths never crossed before. Wasn’t Hamill invited to the premieres of “Attacks of the Clones.” “Phantom Menace,” or “Revenge of the Sith”?

Luke’s dad, as everyone in the world knows, was Darth Vader, formerly Anakin Skywalker, played with stolid determination by Hayden Christensen. Now they can all go on Henry Louis Gates’s “Finding Your Roots” together!

Golden Globes Ratings Down At Least 50% from 2020, Up Slightly — But not a Lot — from Last Year

Golden Globes Ratings Down At Least 50% from 2020, Up Slightly — But not a Lot — from Last Year

If you’re seeing stories about the ratings for the Golden Globes, they’re being skewed by whoever is the author.

The Globes, according to the publications that are owned by the same company, had 9.4 million viewers. That’s exactly 50 % less than the show had in 2020, the last affair before the pandemic.

The PR machine is touting a 50% increase over last year, which was miserable. And even then, someone’s abacus is off kilter. The 2023 ratings were just 6.3 million. So the possible addition of 3 million viewers is not quite the success story as portrayed today.

Only the New York Times got it right. That says something for independent reporting.

The evening sounds like it was a mess beyond the cameras. Around 400 seats in the Beverly Hilton were given over to corporate friends of Eldridge and PMC, the firms that own the Globes, the Hilton, and Dick Clark Productions. It turns out that’s who the after party was for downstairs at the Hilton, where hundreds of guests were turned away.

I’m also told the reason so many nominees were forced to walk a distance to the stage if they won was because the owners put their pals in the good seats. Many nominees for Best Picture were seated in the second tier (there’s an orchestra section, then a first tier preceding). The Netflix film “May December” was one of those that got the bum’s rush, so to speak. Director Todd Haynes wasn’t happy. But no one was, all night.

The ratings were subject to the NFL game on CBS. The network thought the games would run long and bleed into the Globes, pushing up the awards show’s numbers. But the game ended 45 minutes early. Instead of switching to the red carpet, to create buzz, CBS Sports droned on and on until 8pm. The potential Globes audience was gone. A network exec said to me, “These numbers are shit. They should have been 10 to 12 million minimum. They had no competition!”

Will anyone learn from this? No.

Meanwhile, the Critics Choice Awards are Sunday on the CW Network at 8pm. Don’t miss them.

Billie Eilish “Barbie” Song on Fast Track to Number 1 After Golden Globe Win Last Night

Billie Eilish “Barbie” Song on Fast Track to Number 1 After Golden Globe Win Last Night

What was she made for? Hits, apparently.

Billie Eilish is on the fast track to number 1 with her “Barbie” song “What Was I Made For?”

After winning the Golden Globe last night for Best Song, “What Was I Made For?” shot right up the iTunes chart. It’s number 3 right now and flirting with the top position.

The song is co-written by Billie and brother Finneas O’Connell, who doesn’t get enough credit as a musician or composer of the duo’s songs.

“What Was I Made For?” is also on the fast track to the Oscars. If it wins Best Song there, the brother sister team will have two Oscars on their shelves — not bad considering their relative youth. These two are going to be around for a long time!

Billie Eilish Used Her Real Last Name, O’Connell, For Her Golden Globe Win

Here’s a little trivia from Billie Eilish’s win for Best Song in a Motion Picture last night the Globes.

For her nomination, spoken out loud and on the chyron, she went by her full name, Billie Eilish O’Connell. In the past she’s just used her mother’s maiden name, Eilish.

Does it mean anything? I’ll leave it to Billie experts to tell me. I just thought it was interesting that the 22 year old pop phenom has updated her moniker. Her father, Patrick O’Connell, was a soap actor in NY in the 1990s, then went on to a few prime time roles. He and wife Maggie Baird –also on soaps — must be very proud of Billie and brother Finneas.
