Bzedit_copyWe sure do appreciate the fact that AMC has made us the "Site of the Week." With all the new eyeballs checking us out, we offer up this retrospective of last year’s Oscar nominees and what treatment they got at the hands of our critics.

About Bryce Zabel

Drawing inspiration from career experiences as a CNN correspondent, TV Academy chairman, writer/producer and fast-food cook, Bryce is the Editor-in-Chief of Movie Smackdown. While he freely admits to having written the screenplay for the reviewer-savaged "Mortal Kombat: Annihilation," he hopes the fact that he also won the Writers Guild award a couple of years ago will cause you to cut him some slack. He's also a member of the Directors Guild, creator of five primetime network TV series, and author of a new non-fiction book about UFOs.
