The Oscars are unique in that they are the only major awards show that is aired live in all United States time zones, Canada and the United Kingdom....

Thanks to the long-lasting nature of The Simpsons, there have been no shortage of fan theories over the years - but here are several that are so crazy they just might be true.

One of the main attractions of American superhero comics books is the inter-connected nature of their universe. When you read a Marvel comic book, there is a chance that Spider-Man’s actions will somehow affect the X-Men or the Avengers. The same is true of the superhero comics produced by companies like DC and Image. When it comes to the manga industry, there are far fewer crossovers between different series. Even though most series share space with other comics in a single magazine (like in Weekly Shonen Jump), we rarely see any interactions between them....
