Saoirse Ronan News

While they're no Tonys, THE ACADEMY AWARDS are kind of a big deal for showbiz folks. So, throughout the week, BroadwayWorld has been covering the 2016 Oscars from a decidedly theatre perspective, and tonight will be no different. Beginning at 7:00pm ET, one of the stars of the upcoming Broadway show NERDS THE MUSICAL, Patti Murin, will be live-blogging the Oscars' Red Carpet.

It's been a busy week for Patti Murin. On Monday, it was announced that the erstwhile Lysistrata Jones would be joining the cast of the upcoming Broadway show NERDS THE MUSICAL. That same day, she began rehearsals with co-stars Rory O'Malley, Bryan Fenkart, and Lindsay Mendez, and now, she is capping off her week by live-blogging the Academy Awards' Red Carpet.

Two-time Academy Award nominee Saoirse Ronan understands how the pressures of being famous can impact young women harder than men, she tells Jane Pauley in an interview for CBS SUNDAY MORNING WITH CHARLES OSGOOD

Throughout the week, we've been highlighting some of our favorite nominees with theatre backgrounds, and on Sunday, star of the upcoming Broadway musical NERDS, Patti Murin, will have her own Red Carpet live blog, Senior TV and Film Critic Matt Tamanini will live-blog the ceremony, we will also have a regularly updated article looking at Broadway Twitter's reactions to the broadcast, we will look back at all of the winners and the ceremony's best moments, and we will be live tweeting from @BroadwayWorld and @BWWTVWorld.

You know how some people make you feel very unaccomplished because they've already had so much success with their careers, but they're a few years younger than you and you feel like you're behind the eight ball as a result? That's the feeling that Saoirse Ronan gives me. Make no mistake: I mean that as a huge complement. To have already achieved so much at such a young age is something to be proud of; something that will inevitably make the rest of us feel like we should get up off of the couch, turn off Netflix, and be productive.

Happy holidays movie nerds! Nominations were announced for the 88th Annual Academy Awards this morning, and while I don't believe that there were any glaring, outrage-inducing snubs, I am going to go through the major categories and share some knee-jerk reactions. As is often the case for those of us that follow movie releases and award shows closely, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences didn't throw too many curveballs in this year's nominations, which means that there are a lot of people that have seen many of the nominees in the major categories. In fact, the Best Picture nominees have pulled in almost $602 million at the domestic box office, a pretty big number, considering half of them were released in the last two months and had to contend with the behemoth that is STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS.
