LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD
Kevin Costner

This really got dumped down the basic cable hole.

This used to be on the CW. Now it is on A&E. Will be rerun in the morning.

Whenever I see Jenny Slate, I always think of her dropping the f-bomb during her debut sketch on SNL. Good times.

I'm surprised that folk here aren't happy over the critics nominees/winners than what the Academy considers 2014's best.
