Last night the winners were announced for the 5th Annual MTV Movie and TV Awards for both the Scripted and Unscripted Categories. Since the Unscripted listings fell into the wheelhouse of this side of the creative coin, I’ve opted to list them here. The winners of the Scripted Categories are featured over on the PiercingMetal website and you can see that rundown by clicking HERE. Now lets get to the Golden Popcorn trophies.
BEST DOCU-REALITY SERIES:
Jersey Shore: Family Vacation
Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta WINNER – Selling Sunset
Summer House
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The winners of the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy’s were recently announced during a live broadcast on CBS and I kept pace with the program to have the names of the winners circle as fast as possible. It was hosted by Sheryl Underwood of “The Talk” who handled the duties all by herself with no additional hosts present. I’ll return at the close with some editorial rumblings so may I have the envelope please….
PROGRAMMING CATEGORIES
Outstanding Drama Series:
The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS)

As promised, I have returned to the topic of this latest awards show which is the Daytime Emmy Awards. We noted during the post about the nominees that this year it would be held virtually based on all the chaos inflicted by the Coronavirus Pandemic and the show would be hosted by the ladies from The Talk. Each one reporting from the safety of their own home and if you weren’t aware of the folks involved its Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba and Marie Osmond. Now as mentioned, we don’t watch a lot of daytime television and instead use the hometime to catch up with the night before DVR stuff or just writing our next post. That being said here now are the recently revealed winners of the 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. Enjoy.

Piercing Ken Thoughts: I’ll keep my editorial soapboxing to a minimum on this since its our first time doing this sort of news here on “The Chronicles”. I did like seeing some of the actors we find in the Marvel Studios releases being given stars on the famed walk since those are the films that we tend to enjoy the most. I’ve not been to Hollywood in more than 20 years at the time of this writing and feel I need to get back and so some kind of feature about the sights and scenes to be found. This is the kind of fun news that helps one forget about just how bad it is out there right now thanks to the pandemic which is now in its third full month. I don’t know about your neck of the woods but I am already tired of the President, Governor and Mayor being a part of my daily television saying not much at all but let me not get political here since I am here to entertain and distract. What do you readers think about this news and the honored? Who would you like to see given a star on the famous walkway? Chime in down below as I’d love to hear from you. I am starting to get stir crazy from the lack of activity but let’s hope we are in a better place come September. See you again soon and please be careful out there.
We’ve discussed the new film “Trolls World Tour” a few times already on “The Chronicles” and shared not only some fun trailers but a bevy of promotional posters. Clicking HERE will scan the website for the tag relating to the film and open your findings on a brand-new tab in your browser for easier digestion of this content. So despite the world having changed around us over the last few weeks, this film is opening in limited theaters only AND being made available for digital rental today as well. The latter option makes more sense to be under the circumstances but either way today is the release day and you can enjoy the poster, premise and ensemble voice-cast down below.
Synopsis: After the events of the first film, Poppy and Branch discover that they are six other different kinds of Trolls scattered over six different lands, each devoted to a different form of music: Pop, Funk, Classical, Techno, Country and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger, and a whole lot louder, as member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb, aided by her father King Thrash, wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme. With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends — Smidge, Legsly, Biggie, Satin and Chenille, Cooper, Guy Diamond and Tiny Diamond — set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who’s looking to upstage them all and turn them into rock zombies. Meanwhile, Branch tries to find a way to tell Poppy how he feels about her. (c/o Wiki) Continue reading Now In Theaters: “Trolls World Tour” (4/10/2020)→
