“Family Guy” creator and executive producer Seth MacFarlane shared insight at PaleyFest on whether or not the Griffin family will ever make it to the big screen in a full-length feature film. The show’s cast also brought the house down Friday with a live table read of upcoming episode “The Edible Arrangement” and nine performances of musical classics from the series as the show celebrates its 25th anniversary.
Without giving too much of the goodness away, the episode the cast did a table read for — written by Travis Bowe — is titled “The Edible Arrangement.” It’s centered on Lois and Stewie bonding after consuming a few of Brian’s weed-infused gummies. The episode features the first time Lois has ever heard Stewie talk, which provides Stewie with the perfect opportunity to tell her all about his old plot to murder her.

Despite being on network television, Seth MacFarlane's irreverent animated sitcom "Family Guy" can get away with a lot of edgy humor. With over 20 seasons under its belt, the show's reputation precedes it, and audiences are well-aware that the series is actively trying to push buttons through provocative satire and parody. However, during the show's original three-season run, before it got canceled and eventually resurrected thanks to a second wind from DVD sales, "Family Guy" didn't have the same power. That's why Fox initially refused to air one particular episode.
"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" now sits firmly as part of the third season of "Family Guy," but it became an infamous installment after Fox axed the episode before it even aired. The episode in question finds dimwitted patriarch Peter Griffin (voiced by Seth MacFarlane) scammed by a man selling volcano insurance, something wholly unnecessary in Quahog, Rhode Island.

The most notable instance to date of “rap on trial” is finally about to get underway in Atlanta. After a jury selection process whose length broke state records, the Ysl Rico trial is set to begin on Nov. 27. Judge Ural Glanville, Fulton County prosecutors, and defense attorneys vetted more than 600 people to determine the best set of jurors for the high-profile case. Multi-platinum rapper Young Thug, a.k.a. Jeffery Williams, is the most well-known defendant standing trial. He’s facing eight counts in the 65-count indictment, with prosecutors alleging...

When Alfred Hitchcock fired the composer behind “Vertigo” and “Psycho” over creative differences during the production of “Torn Curtain” in May 1966, it was clear that film music was changing. Although Bernard Herrmann’s theremin-laden score for “The Day the Earth Stood Still” had changed the game, his rugged determination not to succumb to rock ‘n’ roll, jazz, or (God forbid) “theme tune” scores that were quickly becoming all the rage in Hollywood made him an enemy of serial pragmatist Hitchcock. They never worked together again.
Three months later, The Beatles released “Revolver,” with what The Village Voice called a “bent and pulverised sound” — and pop music had gone electronic. Amid times a-changin’, Herrmann dug his heels in. His final score a decade later, for “Taxi Driver,” is as classic as they come.

After more than two decades on air, Seth MacFarlane’s adult animated series “Family Guy” continues to — as its characters sing in its theme song — make us laugh and cry.
Lucky there was a man to give the world the iconic yet majorly dysfunctional animated family that is Peter, Lois, Chris, Meg, Stewie and Brian Griffin. MacFarlane created the show, which made its debut on Jan. 31, 1999, after his days working as an animator and writer at Hanna-Barbara, known as Cartoon Network today.
And although it’s never taken home the most elite Emmy award in animation, Outstanding Comedy Series or Outstanding Animated Program, the show remains a fan-favorite 21 seasons in.
The most recent season recently wrapped up its run on Fox, but where can you stream old episodes of “Family Guy?” And where will new ones be streaming when the show returns in the fall? All your “Family Guy” questions answered below.

A person is always wise to remember that Instagram likes and comments are public. But a 79-year-old man who likes what he sees is not always disposed to restrain himself, and it looks as though Tennessee Lt. Governor Randy McNally is one such fellow.

What a world we could live in if only we allowed the innocence of children to run it.
My 11-year-old daughter Sophia is just learning about the scope of movies. You would assume the child of an entertainment writer and Oscar enthusiast might be well-versed in the styles of Akira Kurosawa and Steven Spielberg. Instead, she’s currently enamored with the world of horror movies, with the “Scream” franchise standing as her most vital consumption.
She’s only been to a handful of industry screenings, one of which was Pixar’s “Coco” (2017), which gave the two of us the memorable moment in which I was weeping intensely as Miguel sang to his beloved grandmother after returning to the real world. Then, with a dead silent New York audience, not knowing how to use her “inside voice,” she shouted, “Are you crying?” The crowd erupted in laughter.

Walter Murphy’s “A Fifth of Beethoven,” the disco-fied 1976 reinvention of the composer’s most famous symphony, seems like an unusual choice for the theme of “Mrs. America,” FX’s Cate Blanchett-starring series on the history of the 1970s women’s movement as seen from the perspective of its fervent opponent, arch-conservative Phyllis Schlafly. The song dates from late in the show’s chronology, its glitzy groove seems at odds with many of the characters, and most of all, it’s an instrumental.
But for the show’s music supervisor, Mary Ramos — who has worked on dozens of films and television shows, most prominently on several Quentin Tarantino films, including last year’s Oscar-winning “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” as well as Hulu’s “Little Fires Everywhere” — it’s a perfect choice.

Walter Murphy’s “A Fifth of Beethoven” was released in 1976 and it’s the perfect disco anthem for FX on Hulu’s “Mrs. America.”
“It’s smart, classical and not too serious,” says Carol Wong, executive producer at yU+co, the design company behind the show’s main title sequence.
“Mrs. America,” which comes from creator and showrunner Dahvi Waller, depicts the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s — and the women who fought for and against that amendment, from Phyllis Schlafly to Gloria Steinem and Betty Friedan. While that is certainly serious subject matter, the way the song builds to a great crescendo is reminiscent of the actions these women are taking in the nine-episode limited series.
Drawn to the “fun, energetic vibe” of “A Fifth of Beethoven,” Wong initially plan to use it and the main titles in general to showcase all of the women depicted in the series.

Can we agree that among the eight Oscar nominations granted “A Star Is Born,” its likeliest win will be Best Song for “Shallow”? That soaring ballad sold the music-packed showbiz saga’s first trailer like nobody’s business as Lady Gaga‘s Ally started to roar before a mic. The pop chanteuse herself would receive the honor alongside her co-writers Mark Ronson, Anthony Rossomando and Andrew Wyatt. The song has already won a Golden Globe and is up for four Grammys, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Judging by the combined odds chart based on rankings by Experts, Editors and Users, “Shallow’s” support is quite deep, with more than 2,200 predicting it will win.

Since its premiere at Sundance, Richard Linklater’s Boyhood has been garnering Oscar buzz and rave reviews. The film could score nominations for best picture, director, actor and more, but after submitting three songs to the Academy for consideration in the best original song category, the film could add another nomination. Two of the songs were written by Ethan Hawke, who could garner a best supporting actor nomination for his portrayal of the father. If Hawke receives a best original song nomination for one of his songs, he will join a short list of actors who have scored nominations for songs since 1994.
Both Annette O’Toole and her husband Michael McKean were nominated in 2004, for their song “A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow,” which appeared in 2003’s A Mighty Wind. Well known for her role on Smallville as Martha Kent, O’Toole didn...

If Hawke receives a best original song nomination for one of his songs, he will join a short list of actors who have scored nominations for songs since 1994.
Both Annette O’Toole and her husband Michael McKean were nominated in 2004, for their song “A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow,” which appeared in 2003’s A Mighty Wind. Well known for her role on Smallville as Martha Kent, O’Toole didn...

If there’s one thing you can say about the Frightfest Halloween All-Nighter it’s that the one-night only event has provided some of the most diverse horror line-ups to be screened theatrically in its meagre seven year existence – and 2013′s line-up is no different, with screenings of the eagerly awaited remake of Aussie horror Patrick, from director Mark Hartley (Not Quite Hollywood, Machete Maidens Unleashed); Soulmate, from actress turned director Axelle Carolyn (Centurion); and the first film from former Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash’s new production outfit Slasher Films, Nothing Left To Fear. And as if those weren’t enough, this years retro screening is the awesome, and formerly banned in the UK, Mark of the Devil, from director Michael Armstrong.

NBC has ordered hourlong holiday musical special How Murray Saved Christmas from The Simpsons‘ writer/producer Mike Reiss. It’s scheduled to air in December 2014. Based on Reiss’ best-selling children’s book of the same name, the story centers on cranky deli owner Murray Kleiner, who is forced to fill in for Santa one Christmas and does a weirdly wonderful job. Walter Murphy (Ted, Family Guy) will compose the music of the special, produced by Universal TV. Rough Draft Animation will serve as the animation studio. Reiss has worked on The Simpsons since the show’s inception, at one point serving as exec producer/co-showrunner. His feature credits include The Simpsons Movie and Ice Age: Dawn Of The Dinosaur.

This evening’s Oscar ceremony is now over, and with the dust settling on the biggest awards ceremony of the entire year, and the winners and losers celebrating and commiserating together, we’ve put together a full list of the winners (as well as the beaten nominees) for this year’s awards.
Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Chastain nailed the red carpet, apparently, and Sandra Bullock did wonderful things with a diamond hair-clip, while Bradley Cooper and Chris Pine both proved that beards are very much the hot thing right now. But the big events were yet to happen inside the La venue, as the audience sat ready to receive host Seth MacFarlane, and his inevitably cutting humour.
For the most part, MacFarlane was reserved, though a few barbs did land before the end of the night. He played his part also in the excellent musical staging throughout the ceremony, whose highlights featured Shirley Bassey,...

Just like Anne Hathaway winning Best Supporting Actress at the 85th Academy Awards, Adele was a shoe-in for Best Original Song. She still seemed surprised to win when she took the stage alongside Paul Epworth, though.
"Thank you so much. This is amazing," she said, coming close to tears as she listed off the many people she had to thank. "And my man, I love you, baby."
Adele left time for Epworth to give his thanks as well, but she couldn't resist tossing in a nod to all the other prestigious actors, directors and even songwriters in the Dolby Theatre there with them. "You're all amazing as well," she said as a farewell.
Also nominated for Best Song were J. Ralph for "Before My Time" from "Chasing Ice," Walter Murphy and Seth MacFarlane for "Everybody Needs a Best Friend" from "Ted," Mychael Danna and Bombay Jayashri from "Life of Pi" and Claude-Michel Schonberg,...

Sorry, Anne Hathaway. It’s Sally Field’s turn to shine again! Read on for all my Oscar predictions for the Feb. 24 awards ceremony.
Anne Hathaway may be the frontrunner for Best Actress In A Supporting Role at the Feb. 24 Oscars, but I sense an upset coming our way. My girl Sally Field is nominated as well and I like her, I really like her! So does all of Hollywood — Sally won an Oscar both times she was nominated in the past. Plus, she’s a legend! Mama Nora deserves the win for her amazing performance in Lincoln. Furthermore, find out who else I think will take home an Academy Award this year!
My Oscar Predictions:
Best Actor In A Leading Role:
Bradley Cooper in Silver Linings Playbook
Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln
Hugh Jackman in Les Misérables
Joaquin Phoenix in The Master
Denzel Washington in Flight
Who Will Win: Daniel Day-Lewis.

The award season has been very generous to films such as Argo and Silver Linings Playbook, but as many know by now, you can never quite be certain about who will win once the opening monologue begins. Who will take home Best Picture? Actor and Actress in a Leading Role? And what about Directing? We are breaking down the top 10 categories from the evening on who should win and who probably will.

The singer is the favourite to win the Academy award for best original song on Sunday night, but she faces stiff competition from Scarlett Johansson, a talking bear and more
No matter that she won the award for best British single, Adele didn't show up at the Brits at the O2 in London on Wednesday night. What could have been more important? Well, the Academy Awards, that's what.
It would be nice to have one of those on the shelf. Bob Dylan no less seemed especially pleased to have bagged the Academy award for best original song with Things Have Changed in 2001 after it featured in Curtis Hanson's Wonder Boys. "God bless you all with peace, tranquility and good will," he was even heard to quip to the academy. In her excitement, Adele tweeted when she heard she'd been nominated this year.
Oh my god I feel like Meryl Streep!

Are you sick of those ordinary Oscar office pools? Tired of only guessing the top 6 or 8 categories for the Academy Awards? Let your inner-movie geek shine with Bowl the Perfect Oscar Score (aka Oscar Bowling).
Try to nail 300 points on the 2013 Academy Awards.
This is a confidence list.
There are 24 categories.
How to play
Pick your winners in all 24 categories. Then, give each winner a confidence score. Your most confident pick gets 24 points, second most confident gets 23 points, third most confident gets 22 points, and eventually your least confident pick gets 1 point.
This is perfect for Oscar parties, because the lead keeps changing. The winner is the one with the most points at the end. A perfect score is 300. If there is a tie (there never is a tie), then the winner is the one with the most points in these three categories combined (Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress).

With the Oscars almost upon us, everyone is speculating about who will win. It’s always a challenge to pick the winners because so much more than just good quality goes into winning one of those gold statues. Here are our picks about who will likely win this year’s Academy Awards.
Best Picture
Zero Dark Thirty
Silver Linings Playbook
Lincoln
Les Miserables
Life of Pi
Amour
Django Unchained
Argo
Beasts of the Southern Wild
It’s a tight race in the Best Picture Category this year. For a time, it seemed like this category was Lincoln's to lose. Spielberg’s drama about the 16th president and the battle to end slavery leads the pack with 12 nominations. It once seemed poised to sail to an easy win, but now the pack-leader has been overtaken by Argo. Argo recently won Best Film at the BAFTA Awards—often a good predictor of...
