Hathaway + Streep Tie At Critics' Choice Awards
8 January 2009 11:03 PM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Anne Hathaway proved she's a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood - she tied with acting legend Meryl Streep to win the Best Actress honour at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards on Thursday.
The Devil Wears Prada co-stars came neck-and-neck in the votes of 200 American and Canadian movie critics; Streep won for her role as a 1960s nun in Doubt, while Hathaway took home the gong for her moving performance in Rachel Getting Married.
And it proved another great awards night for Sean Penn - he was presented with the Best Actor trophy for his much-lauded portrayal of American politician and gay rights activist Harvey Milk in the Gus Van Sant biopic, and Penn was among the cast which claimed the ceremony's Best Acting Ensemble award at the prizegiving in Santa Monica, California.
But the biggest winner of the night was Slumdog Millionaire, which earned British director Danny Boyle the Best Director award and the Best Picture gong. The film's star Dev Patel also took home the Best Young Actor honour, while Simon Beaufoy's screenplay landed him the Best Writer honour and A.R. Rahman was named Best Composer for his musical work on the film.
Late actor Heath Ledger was posthumously honoured for his role as The Joker in The Dark Knight, winning the Best Supporting Actor, and Kate Winslet claimed the Best Supporting Actress award for her role as a Nazi prison guard in The Reader.
The full list of winners is as follows:
Best Picture - Slumdog Millionaire
Best Actor - Sean Penn (Milk) Best Actress - Meryl Streep (Doubt) + Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married) Best Supporting Actor - Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight) Best Supporting Actress - Kate Winslet (The Reader) Best Director - Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) Best Acting Ensemble - Milk

Broadcast Film Critics Announce Their 2008 Winners
8 January 2009 9:54 PM, PST | From Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news
The Broadcast Film Critics Association (Bfca) announced their winners tonight and have one surprise and one major blip if you ask me. The surprise would be Kate Winslet winning Best Supporting Actress for The Reader. I say this is a surprise only because so many have Penelope Cruz locked for this category for her performance in Vicky Cristina Barcelona. I, however, am elated to see this win as Winslet was the Best Supporting Actress in the RopeofSilicon 2008 Awards. So kudos on yah Kate, let's carry it to the Oscars. The major blip I refer to is an actual tie for Best Actress as the Bfca awarded both Meryl Streep (Doubt) and Anne Hathaway (Rachel Getting Married). Sorry crix, but if you want to take over as a bigger award show than the Golden Globes, like I keep hearing, you are going to have to be able to do one simple

DGA Nominates Nolan, Boyle, Fincher, Howard, and Van Sant
8 January 2009 9:51 PM, PST | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news
The Directors Guild of America has made their selections for “Best Director” nominees. The ceremony will be held January 31, 2009. 54 out of 60 times the winner of the DGA award has won the Oscar for “Best Director.”
Here are the Directors Guild of America nominations for 2008-2009:
David Fincher, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Danny Boyle, Slumdog Millionaire
Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight
Ron Howard, Frost/Nixon
Boyle has never been nominated by the DGA. Howard has won twice (A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13). Nolan was nominated for my favorite film of all-time, Memento. Fincher has been nominated for commercials. Van Sant was nominated in 1996 for Good Will Hunting.
Three of these men (Boyle, Fincher, Howard) were nominated for a Golden Globe, which will be awarded this Sunday. The buzz momentum will start to shift after this weekend, so it’s too difficult to tell who is the front-runner.

Bfca Winners

Bfca show though neither emerged as a winner. (They got the most camera time, too, with Marisa Tomei and Anne Hathaway trailing just behind)
I might say a few words about the show tomorrow but for now the wins:
Picture, Director, Score, Screenplay, Young Actor: Slumdog Millionaire
Animated: Wall•E
Documentary: Man on Wire
Foreign Film: Waltz With Bashir
Comedy: Tropic Thunder
TV Movie: John Adams
Action: The Dark Knight
Song: "The Wrestler" Bruce Springsteen

Actress: (tie) Anne Hathaway for Rachel Getting Married and Meryl Streep for Doubt... an attempt at a Devil Wears Prada reunion. Good instincts there, Bfca, except Meryl didn't show. Nevertheless, it was surely the highlight. Viola Davis accepted for Streep and was wonderful.

Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet for The Reader

The prime-time portion of the posthumous honoring of Heath Ledger has begun. The late thesp was named Best Supporting Actor at the 14th Annual Critics' Choice Awards Thursday—not the first award bestowed upon Ledger for his extraordinarily nuanced performance in The Dark Knight, but his most public win to date and his peers' first chance to give him an evening gown-and-tux-clad standing ovation. "Anyone who's seen any of the extraordinary work that Heath did knows that I can't presume to speak for him in any way because his voice was as unique as it was original. But...I know that I speak for all of us when I say that working with him was one of the greatest experiences any of us ever had or...

DC heroes on hold?

Warner Bros. seems to be facing a conundrum regarding how to approach their inactive stable of DC Comics super-characters. After all, their grim-and-gritty The Dark Knight pushed some mad stacks this past summer. But then, so did Marvel's more breezy, family-friendly Iron Man. What to do? We already have an idea: the plan is apparently to follow Tdk (and Watchmen) and "go dark", as screenwriter John August just explained when he saw his kid-centric Shazam! project get shelved. Now...

Surprise! The People Chose 'The Dark Knight'
8 January 2009 3:32 PM, PST | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
It's not really a surprise, but our beloved The Dark Knight has grabbed the top honor at the 35th People's Choice Awards. If there was any award the film was sure to get, that's the one I'd pick. Aside from Favorite Movie, the film also scored a win in the Favorite Action Movie category, and an acting nod for Christian Bale and Heath Ledger. That's right -- one prize, Favorite On-Screen Match-Up. (Chemistry, baby!) Plus, a win for Favorite Cast and one more for Bale as Favorite Superhero -- sorry Tony Stark.
With all the love and press, however, the Dark Knight wasn't able to sweep the ground out from under Will Smith, who picked up both Favorite Male movie Star and Favorite Male Action Star. And outside the realm of irresistible geek fare, Wall-e nabbed Favorite Family Movie, The Secret Life of Bees scored Favorite Movie Drama and Independent Movie (over Zachary?

Oscar Eye: Predicting Best Picture Just Got A Lot Easier
8 January 2009 2:59 PM, PST | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news
Wow, it's been a while. So long, in fact, that the Oscar race has seemingly solidified in my absence, as if the movie industry went on vacation and all of a sudden came back having decided what the five Best Picture nominees would be? Don't believe me? The proof, or the closest thing to proof you'll get, is today's Director's Guild nominations coupled with those from the Writer's Guild and the Producer's Guild. Those three groups, more than all the critics in the world, tell us more about the Oscars, since they actually include, uh, the people who vote for Oscars. Bloviate as we may, critics don't have a vote. The producers and the directors matched five for five on their favorite films-- Slumdog Millionaire, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk and The Dark Knight. All five of those films made it into the WGA nominations as

Will Oscars think Cas nominees sound familiar?
8 January 2009 2:55 PM, PST | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news
Perennial Oscar nominee Kevin O'Connell failed to make the cut when the Cinema Audio Society announced nominations for the best sound mixing this year, perhaps because his two 2008 films -- "The Ruins" and "Space Chimps" -- were less than successful at the box office. Last year, he picked up nod No. 12 from the Cas and his 20th Oscar nomination for "Transformers," but lost both bids and remains winless with both kudos. Count on several of this year's Cas nominees -- "The Dark Knight," "Iron Man," "Quantum of Solace," "Slumdog Millionaire," and "Wall-e" -- to make it into the final five when Oscar nominations are announced Jan. 22.

Gold Derby nuggets: Casting 'Doubt' on promo efforts | Rising stars at BAFTAs | 'The Dark Knight' boosts People's Choice Awards ratings

• Lou Lumenick of the New York Post makes merry with today's live blogging by the Sisters of Charity on the subject of "Doubt." As Lou explains, he has doubt as to whether to forgive the filmmakers for using a quote cobbled together from a fragment of his review and a sentence by gossip columnist Cindy Adams and attributed to the New York Post to promote the picture. While the ads now use just his words and name him, he says, "as a lapsed Catholic I'm not sure whether I should forgive them absent a formal apology and (Scott) Rudin's attitude.
