Cody Johnson is standing just a few feet away from thousands of fans inside a sold-out arena, tuning them all out.

While the crowd inside Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center reaches a fever pitch on a recent November night, awaiting Johnson’s first steps into the spotlight, one of the least likely mainstream country stars is hidden behind the stage with his cowboy hat in his hands, silently praying.

That moment of silence is a must for Johnson, and he’s been doing it for most of his 18-year career,...

Country music’s biggest night will be without one of the world’s biggest celebrities.

And the world is in shock as a result.

On Monday, September 6, the Country Music Association revealed the full list of nominees for the 58th Annual CMA Awards… with Morgan Wallen leading the pack with seven total nods.

As for Beyonce? She received not a single one.

Not. A. Single. One.

The shut-out is galling and surprising because Beyonce took a critically-acclaimed leap by releasing her first-ever country music album a short time ago.

It debuted atop the charts.

Back in March, the superstar explained the inspiration behind “Cowboy Carter” by saying project was “born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed.

Morgan Wallen tops the list of the 58th Annual CMA Awards nominees with seven nominations, followed by Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson with five each. Additional artists with multiple nominations include Post Malone (a first-time nominee), Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, and Kacey Musgraves.

Wallen’s nominated in the Entertainer of the Year, Single of the Year (“I Had Some Help”), Song of the Year (“I Had Some Help”), Male Vocalist of the Year, Musical Event of the Year (“I Had Some Help”), Musical Event of the Year (“Man Made A Bar”), and Music Video of the Year (“I Had Some Help”) categories.

Andrew Baylis, Louis Bell, Brock Berryhill, Tom Bukovac, Will Bundy, and Sean Cook made the CMA Awards nominee list for the first time. Additional first-timers include Benjy Davis, Shawn Everett, Riley Green, Kevin “Thrasher” Gruft,...

Morgan Wallen leads the way with seven nominations. He’s followed by Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton with five, while Post Malone and Lainey Wilson picked up four. This was Malone’s first foray into country music, and it proved successful. Mysteriously, Beyonce wasn’t received as warmly; she and her “Cowboy Carter” crossover album were snubbed entirely.

Wallen, Stapleton and Wilson are up for Entertainer of the Year, joined by Luke Combs and Jelly Roll who have three nominations apiece. Wilson was the surprise winner in 2023, making her the first woman in 12 years to take the prize. Before her Taylor Swift prevailed in 2009 and 2011, and if Wilson wins again she will join Swift and Barbara Mandrell on the very,...

There’s one surprising name missing from the Country Music Association Awards list of 2024 nominees: Beyoncé. The artist’s country and Americana album “Cowboy Carter” did not receive any nominations from the awards organization.

Instead, the most nominated artist of the 2024 CMA Awards is Morgan Wallen, who is nominated for major honors including Entertainer of the Year, Single of the Year and Song of the Year. As for CMA Entertainer of the Year — the awards show’s biggest honor — that battle will be taking place this year between Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and Lainey Wilson.

Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton tied for the second most-nominated artists with five nods apiece. They were then followed by Post Malone and Lainey Wilson, who each secured four nominations, as well as Louis Bell, Luke Combs, Charlie Handsome, Hoskins, Jelly Roll, Megan Moroney and Kacey Musgraves, who each secured three nominations.

The Country Music Association has announced the nominees for the 2024 CMA Awards!

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, which made history after it spent four weeks on top of Billboard’s Top country albums chart, making her the first Black woman to achieve the feat, has been notably shut out of the ceremony’s nominations, despite qualifying for categories like single of the year, song of the year, album of the year, female vocalist of the year and music event of the year.

The 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards nominees have been revealed!

Beyonce and her country album Cowboy Carter are up for a whopping 12 awards including the top prizes People’s Artist of 2024, Female Artist of 2024, and Album of 2024! Top nominees also include Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves, Shaboozey, Kane Brown, Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs.

Synapse Films made many viewers happy last year with their Collector's Edition Steelbook Blu-ray release of Dario Argento's Phenomena, aka Creepers, and if you didn't pick up the Steelbook, you'll soon have a chance to purchase the film in a standard (but still extraordinary) two-disc Blu-ray this September, along with The Creep Behind the Camera.

Featuring three separate cuts of the film, the Phenomena Blu-ray will be released on September 12th, the same day of Synapse Films' Blu-ray and DVD release of The Creep Behind the Camera, which explores the stranger than fiction story of the making of The Creeping Terror (which is included in the special features with a new 2K scan). Below, we have official press releases with full details, as well as a look at the cover art for both films.

Press Release: One of legendary filmmaker Dario Argento’s most shocking...

The Creep Behind The Camera

Written and Directed by Pete Schuermann

USA, 2014

After Tim Burton’s Ed Wood was released, Sarah Jessica Parker remarked in interviews that she had just played the worst actress of all time. Delores Fuller, Wood’s ex-wife and would-be starlet, responded, albeit quietly, merely stating, “That hurt” on a Plan 9 From Outer Space DVD.

The Creep Behind The Camera, Pete Schuermann’s docu-drama surrounding the making of 1962′s The Creeping Terror, retains as much class and care for its subjects are Parker did for Fuller. When it isn’t a straightforward documentary portrait of the swindling, scamming and whoring director A.J. Nelson did to put together a film considered one of the worst of all time, it’s using what could kindly be referred to as high-end Unsolved Mysteries re-creations.

Moving out to Hollywood to make the “best monster movie of all time,” director and star Nelson (a.

Once upon a time in 1964, there was an excruciatingly bad alien invasion film, one made with legendary ineptitude. And it wasn't the famous Plan 9 From Outer Space. This one was worse. It was called The Creeping Terror. Pete Schuermann's film The Creep Behind the Camera is about the making of The Creeping Terror, and especially about its director Art Nelson: a violently psychotic sex-and-drugs-addicted con-man, who used the production to swindle loads of money out of loads of people. The Creep Behind the Camera takes an interesting approach to chronicling its subject: a large part of the film is a dramatized comedy, starring Josh Phillips and Jodi Lynn Thomas, but there are documentary inserts in which the real people involved are interviewed.
