Buzz Backtrack

We are perched on the edge of another month, but before we focus on the entertainment offerings of May, let's go over the stuff that rocked our socks off — or took the wind out of our sails — in April. Lots of trailers stuck in our heads (some for the wrong reasons), and we said goodbye to one of the biggest icons in the movie world. There was good news, too — TV shows got renewed, primetime had some memorable moments, and we heard a new song that had us feeling like Summer's already here. Check out the best and worst of April entertainment!

It's the end of the month, so you know what that means: it's time to judge the winners and losers of the last month of pop culture. In the movie world, a few releases stunned us (in a bad way), while news about developing films were much more exciting. There were a few delights on the small screen, and we're pretty sure that one of March's music releases is already on our list of our favorite albums of 2013. Check out all of these in our backtrack of March's entertainment.

Without a doubt, February has been an epic month for entertainment. Award season dominated the month, ending on a high note with the Oscars, while the movies brought some head-scratching moments and at least one happy couple got married on TV. Take a trip to the not so distant past, and recall the moments we'll treasure — and some we hope to forget — from the past month.

The first month of 2013 gave pop-culture fans plenty to be excited about. January was packed full of excitement, like when Amy Poehler and Tina Fey took on the Golden Globes, when we got our first look at Catching Fire, and when Matt Damon kidnapped Jimmy Kimmel. And that's not even counting New Girl. Check out all the entertainment moments we won't forget from January!

Ah, December. It's such a rich month for movie lovers and TV addicts, as award season prompts the last-minute releases of many Oscar contenders like Django Unchained and networks showcase their festive holiday episodes. We got a long-awaited answer to the name behind Gossip Girl, and Elena and Damon seal the deal on The Vampire Diaries. Let's delve into the month in entertainment!

November: a month for makeups (Dan and Serena), breakups (Stefan and Elena), and maniacal psychopaths (Skyfall's Silva). It's been a wild ride, and we're looking back on some of the month's biggest triumphs, romances, and scandals in TV and movies. Let's take stock of some of November's most memorable entertainment moments — both good and bad.

Halloween's here, baseball season is over, and we're headed into the very end of October, which means it's time to look back at the month of entertainment. It was a fruitful time for TV, and many episodes have gotten us talking, for better or worse. Over at the movie theater, we watched some films create award buzz, while others fell flat. Let's go over those highs and lows of the month in entertainment now.

September was a great month for entertainment. Fall TV is in full swing, the Emmys celebrated our favorite folks from the small screen, and the Toronto International Film Festival signified that the race for Oscar is officially on. But with all these heightened expectations, it was inevitable that some disappointments would slip in. Here are our picks for the best, worst, and everything in between for the month of September.

It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to August, a month filled with Olympic abs, two-wheeled action, and a truly unforgettable limousine ride. Before we jump into all the goodies that September brings, let's relive all the highs and lows from a very eventful August.

As we bid adieu to another month, we're reflecting upon the best and worst of its entertainment offerings. We said our final farewell to a heroic franchise, met the swinging new prodigy from another, and got the first peek at next year's caped crusader. The small screen had its own set of developments; The Killing concluded along with Rosie Larsen's case, an icon joined forces with American Idol, and the Emmy nominees were announced. Let's take a look at the most memorable of the crop!
