When it comes to Thanksgiving films, the pickings are a bit slim. (It’s not the veritable feast you get at Christmas.) Beyond classics like Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Hannah and Her Sisters, there’s not a whole lot to choose from. (Good luck trying to gather the family around the TV for a screening of that heartwarming Thanksgiving favorite The Ice Storm.) Ideally you want something funny and heartwarming that’ll get you through that tryptophan-induced food coma. That’s why the Jodie Foster directed Home for the Holidays just might be the perfect Thanksgiving movie.

With a healthy mix of holiday humor and warmth, Home for the Holidays captures all of the binge eating and family dysfunction that comes with Turkey Day. But what keeps it in rotation on our Thanksgiving viewing list is its stellar cast of veteran and up-and-coming stars. Chances are you’ve probably forgotten some of the now big names that gathered around the dinner table for a memorable Thanksgiving dinner filled with laughs and tears. Check out our look back at the cast of this modern-day Thanksgiving classic.

It’s so hard to say goodbye to a great TV show! And this September 16, Showtime will bid farewell to its ground-breaking series Weeds. But while we’re sad, we still have shows like Dexter and Homeland to keep us glued to our boob tubes. Snakkle has all the latest scoop on Showtime’s fall programming from the Television Critics Association press tour.

Parks and Recreation’s Amy Poehler, NCIS’s Mark Harmon, and Homeland’s Claire Danes are all fan favorites with TV shows starting up again this fall. But while you undoubtedly know them from their current television projects, Snakkle wants to put you to the test to see just how well you recognize these famous faces from before they were stars. Check out the gallery we’ve assembled and see how many you get right!

As another year of graduates look ahead with excitement for what the future will hold for them, you have to wonder who among them might be our next great actors, athletes, scholars, or even future presidents of the United States. You might be surprised at the humble (and remarkably fashion-awkward) graduation looks of some of today’s biggest movers and shakers. Snakkle wants to know if you can pick out some graduates that have most definitely succeeded.

Each season, there is a slew of new TV dramas and comedies vying for our attention. And there are always a few breakout stars, the faces and personalities you just can’t get enough of, whether or not their show is picked up (and whether or not you’ve ever heard of them). Here is Snakkle’s list of the biggest stars of the 2011-2012 TV season; who’s your favorite?

For the past two years, all four acting champs at the Golden Globes went on to win Oscars. Could that happen again? It all begins with the nominations, which were announced this morning. Read on for our overview of the acting nominees for movies and TV.

At the top of many people’s “gone too soon” lists, My So-Called Life (1994-1995) lasted only one season but left an indelible mark on TV and popular culture. What other show dealt so honestly with teen romance and angst, friendship and longing? And its mid-’90s grunge style was pretty great, too. It also launched the career of Claire Danes, who starred as the intelligent, imperfect Angela Chase.
