Movie Feature | Steve The Intern | 18th January 2015

Guests of the Academy - overwhelmingly white, overwhelmingly male - took their seats at the opulent Dolby Theater in California to witness the announcement of the nominations for the 77th Oscars. When they were over, they continued chewing on their steaks and clinking their champagne glasses, oblivious to the racism hanging heavy in the air: Ava DuVernay's astonishing drama Selma, a biopic of Martin Luther King, had been snubbed - proof positive once and for all that the Academy is institutionally racist.

TV Feature | Ed Williamson, Matt Looker, Rob Young, Luke Whiston, Iain Robertson, Neil Alcock | 31st December 2013

In years to come, we will remember 2013 as the year everything changed. Danny Dyer is now in Eastenders, and across the land all else has ceased to matter. But look upon the works of this medium, now so wholly transformed, and you will see more than this. And you might think it handy that some berk put it all in a list and bid you read it.

What's Luther been up to?

TV Feature | Ed Williamson | 10th June 2013

Good BBC drama being what it is, they throw you a three-episode bone every once in a while, then you have to wait flipping ages until the next lot. Luther's second season was on our screens about two years ago, and between the first and second he'd gone mental, been on hiatus from the police force and developed a worrying habit of playing Russian roulette every morning. Which leads me to wonder what he's been doing with himself for the last two years.

TV News | Ed Williamson | 18th May 2013

People to get chance to win shiny things, claim bigger salaries

TV News | Ed Williamson | 14th July 2011

I think we can all agree that my previous attempts to cover awards ceremonies have been little short of masterclasses in research and presentation (ohai, TV BAFTAs and Saturns). What's this? The Emmy nominations, you say? Piece of piss.

I'm going to watch the SHIT out of Luther tonight

TV Video | Ed Williamson | 5th July 2011

OK, so while I might have described Luther as 'a bit daft and clichï¿½-ridden', there's a chance that I wasn't ... you know ... wholly, um, correct. That is to say ... look, I was wrong, alright? Because it turns out Luther is the BALLS.

Luther â€“ season two opener

TV Review | Ed Williamson | 15th June 2011

Ooooh, Luther's back. And this time, he's mad. Actually, he's not that mad. I'd been led to believe he would be by that trailer where he smashes up the office backwards. Right, I'm calling Points of View. Is that still on?
