10 closest Oscar races in the past 20 years
23 November 2009 1:12 PM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
One of the shrewdest Oscarologists on the planet is Tariq Khan of Fox News, who often generously shares his views of current and past derbies with Gold Derby readers. Here he takes a nostalgic look at the past two decades, offering his take on the most competitive derbies. Words below are Tariq's. Thanks, m'friend!
We’ve often discussed those Oscar races that seem just too close to call . . . where it’s clear (or at least seems clear) that the eventual winner will nab the Oscar with only a few more votes than his or her nearest competitor. While we can never really know for sure (unless we get one of those top jobs at the accounting firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers,) we do have some idea of what may have been the closest races in Oscar history. Allow me to present what I believe were the 10 closest acting races over the course of the past 20 years. »

Wes Anderson's Next Project Gets A Name: The Rosenthaler Suite
16 November 2009 1:00 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I'm sure I'm not the only person who's found themselves newly enamored with Wes Anderson, having seen Fantastic Mr. Fox and realized, hey, he hasn't completely sunk into a pit of self-regard and whimsy after all! It's a wonderful feeling, and I'm more than ready to embrace whatever he has coming up next. Luckily for all of us, Anderson is about to embark on his first remake, a take on the 2006 French film My Best Friend, which he has apparently renamed The Rosenthaler Suite. The Playlist got their hands on the script, and while they say it's merely "nice enough" and could use a second draft, they also pick out some distinctly Anderson-esque touches that should delight his fans. There seem to be parts tailor-made for George Clooney, Anjelica Huston and probably Jason Schwartzman, along with a role that's apparently destined for A Serious Man's Fred Melamed, a.k. »

16 November 2009 5:05 AM, PST | Gossipvita | See recent Gossipvita news »
The legendary actress accepted the honour this weekend, four months before the full ceremony takes place. Upon receiving the award, she quipped: “I can't believe it - a man at last.

Speaking at the ceremony, Douglas insisted Bacall's image as a tough woman was all show, saying: "She's a pussycat and has a heart of gold."

Honorary Award recipients Roger Corman, Lauren Bacall, and Gordon Willis at the 2009 Governors Awards ceremony held at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland on Saturday, November 14. “It’s so much better … that nobody’s worrying whether 36.5 million people are watching us or 29.2,” remarked Warren Beatty, a former Irving G. Thalberg Award recipient who paid homage to this year’s Thalberg Award honoree John Calley, who, reportedly suffering from serious health issues, was unable to attend the ceremony. After Kirk Douglas declared he once unsuccessfully tried to seduce her, and Anjelica Huston praised her “steadfastness,” 85-year-old Lauren Bacall waved away an escort trying to help her get to the podium, remembered her “great love” Humphrey Bogart, her myriad leading [...] »

Calley Too Ill To Receive Honorary Oscar
15 November 2009 3:06 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Movie mogul John Calley missed out on one of the biggest evenings of his life on Saturday - because he was too ill to attend the Governors Awards gala in Los Angeles.
The 79-year-old producer and former studio head was billed to receive the coveted Irving G. Thalberg Oscar, but was too sick to show up.
Steven Spielberg accepted the award from presenter Tom Hanks on his friend's behalf, while fellow moguls George Lucas, Dino De Laurentiis, Saul Zaentz and Warren Beatty paid tribute to Calley.
Honours also went to movie legend Lauren Bacall, director Roger Corman and cinematographer Gordon Willis.
Presenting Bacall with her honour at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland, Anjelica Huston stated the movie star "defines what it means to be an actress," adding, "She is a woman of great charisma and beauty but one not to be trifled with."
Bacall confessed she was "very emotional and grateful" to be honoured at the 2009 Governors Awards.
Honouring B-movie mastermind Roger Corman, Quentin Tarantino called the director "the original maverick," while Ron Howard revealed, "He changed my life."
A thrilled Corman told the audience, "I’m delighted to accept this Oscar," adding that those in Hollywood work in “the only true modern art form.”
Saturday night’s gala and awards ceremony marked the first time the academy has presented its honorary awards anywhere other than during the annual Oscar telecast. »

DVD Playhouse—November 2009
By
Watchmen—The Ultimate Cut (Warner Bros.) Director Zack Snyder’s film of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ landmark graphic novel is as worthy an adaptation of a great book that has ever been filmed. In an alternative version of the year 1985, Richard Nixon is serving his third term as President and super heroes have been outlawed by a congressional act, in spite of the fact that two of the most high-profile “masks,” Dr. Manhattan (Billy Cruddup) and The Comedian (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) helped the U.S. win the Vietnam War. When The Comedian is found murdered, many former heroes become concerned that a conspiracy is afoot to assassinate retired costumed crime fighters. Former masks Nite Owl (Patrick Wilson), Silk Spectre (Malin Akerman) and still-operating Rorschach (Jackie Earle Haley, in an Oscar-worthy turn) launch an investigation of their own, all while the Pentagon’s “Doomsday »

[DVD Review] Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
30 October 2009 4:40 PM, PDT | JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news »
Spin-offs and sequels represent Disney’s plan of expansion in between the major theatrical features. A small fraction of Disney’s films actually have theatrical potential while the rest have little promise beyond DVD and Blu-ray sales for adolescent to tweenage audiences by capitalizing on classic Disney film protagonists or their buddies. Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure takes Peter Pan out of the Neverland equation and establishes a story with no appeal beyond the 5 to 10-year-old demographic. It’s not a negligible niche and so Disney puts a fair amount of money into the process. The direct to DVD/Blu-ray films like this one tend to have a decent cast selection as well as respectable animation production levels; they just don’t have very compelling stories or characters.
As the movie’s intro explains, faeries depend on a seasonal cycle of sorts the basis of which is their faerie dust. »

‘The Hills’ boss Kelly Cutrone would cast Jonathan Rhys Meyers to play her in ‘L.A. Candy’ (IrishCentral)
30 October 2009 1:15 AM, PDT | IrishCentral | See recent IrishCentral news »
Lauren Conrad’s former boss Kelly Cutrone has a suggestion on who should play her in “The Hills” star upcoming movie – Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers. In Conrad’s book “L.A. Candy,” which is loosely based on the MTV star’s life, the Kelly Cutrone character is the fictional tough-as-nails PR boss Fiona Chen. Now that “L.A. Candy” is being made into a movie, Conrad needs someone to portray the People’s Revolution founder on the big screen. “What about Jonathan Rhys Meyers? That could be really good crossover role for him," Cutrone suggested to MTV News. The fashion icon, who is now featured in “The Hills” spinoff “The City,” has a few runner-ups in mind as well. "They would have to have black hair — they would have to be slightly on the mean side. I would like Cher to play me," she said. "I think that would be really great. »
