The 8 Stupidest Movies to Ever Get a Golden Globe Nomination

Congratulations, 2012 Golden Globe nominees, you are able to hold your mind high understanding that you have something that is similar to 'Patch Adams.' No-one can ever take that from you. The correct answer is an recognition. (And, yes, 'Patch Adams' actually was nominated for any Golden Globe.) The thing is, the main reason the Golden Globes aren't probably the most respected honours happens because it's chosen on with a really small number of foreign (ahem) journalists who've been considered to be prone to, let us say, (ahem) outdoors influences that might figure out what will get a nomination. I had been with an elevator having a person in the Hollywood Foreign Press (I wager he known as it a "lift") at the time from the 'War Horse' junket. He appeared just like a nice enough chap, but he wanted to inform anybody that will listen he was going to have lunch with "Steven." (I'm able to only assume he was mentioning to Spielberg and never Seagal or Guttenberg.) Then, after, shared his tales of fortune on just the number of occasions he's shared meals with "Steven," going as far to list out all the various nations by which it has happened. (It was a really lengthy elevator lift ride.) So, quite simply: Should you treat the Hollywood Foreign Press right and promise that you'll appear for their party, there's a strong possibility that they, consequently, will treat your movie right. (Though not Steven he was snubbed.) With this, listed here are the eight stupidest movies which have ever become a Golden Globe nomination. 'The Tourist' (2010) This really awful movie starring Julia Roberts and The Actor-brad Pitt was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe. 'Burlesque' (2010) This really awful movie starring Cher was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe. 'Bobby' (2006) This really forgettable movie starring Lindsay Lohan was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe. 'Analyze This' (1999) This really awful movie starring Billy Very and Robert P Niro was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe. 'Patch Adams' (1998) This really awful movie starring Robin Williams having a ball on his nose was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe. 'Sabrina' (1995) This really awful remake starring Harrison Ford was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe. 'Sister Act' (1992) This really annoying movie starring Whoopi Goldberg was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe. 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' (1982) This really awful movie starring Burt Reynolds and Dolly Parton was nominated for any Best Picture Golden Globe.

Angelina Jolie Reacts to Golden Globe Nomination for 'Blood and Honey': 'I Never Expected This'

For many in Holly­wood, the most interesting aspect of Relativity Media is whether founder and CEO Ryan Kavanaugh can continue what appears to be a high-wire act to keep releasing big-budget movies.our editor recommendsRelativity Enters Distribution Partnership With Germany's Senator EntertainmentBrian Edwards Is the Latest Executive to Exit Relativity MediaAlan Menken to Compose Score for Relativity's Snow White Film 'Mirror Mirror'Relativity's Snow White Movie to Be Called 'Mirror Mirror' PHOTOS: Julia Roberts, Lily Collins and the 'Mirror Mirror' Cast The company insists a recent $200 million loan from Colbeck Capital Management is part of raising money as any growing company does. But banking sources continue to question its finances and ponder whether its major investor, Elliott Management, can or will be bought out. Relativity, which most recently distributed Immortals (pulling in a strong but not blockbuster $187 million worldwide to date), is preparing to release several films in 2012, most important among them Mirror Mirror, a $100 million reworking of the Snow White story starring Julia Roberts, which opens March 16. An insider says Relativity is well under way in terms of planning and -- crucially -- paying for that film's marketing campaign. PHOTOS: 'Immortals' Premiere Red Carpet But a number of bankers say they are not working with Relativity because they remain unconvinced about its strength in light of financial maneuvering and relentless management changes. In October, Brian Edwards resigned as the company's COO after just five months. The previous month, Joe Matukewicz, its senior vp acquisitions, left to join Sony Pictures Worldwide Acquisitions. The company also has lost Bill Sutman, its CFO; Peter Adee, president of marketing and distribution; and Michael Joe, who had been president. VIDEO: 'Mirror Mirror' Trailer Now there is uncertainty about Joe's replacement, Steve Bertam, whose contract is up in January. A company insider says Relativity wants him to remain in the job but says no announcement will be made until early January. Another insider says work is proceeding despite a sense of uncertainty. "All we can do is put our heads down and stick to our knitting," this person says. "When you're an independent like this, you get your lifeline in increments. ... Ryan keeps pulling rabbits out of his hat." -- Alex Ben Block contributed to this report.

Roger Ailes Writing Autobiography In Campaign To Enhance His Legacy: NY Mag

Is Roger Ailes thinking about stepping down from his gig as chief of Fox News?That’s a possibility NY Magazine says in a report about his plans to write an autobiography as he enters “a legacy-burnishing phase of his career.” The magazine cites unnamed sources with “direct knowledge” of the situation who say Ailes, 71,could net an advance of as much as $4M from Rupert Murdoch’s HarperCollins.Ailes is being repped byWashington lawyer Bob Barnett, whose publishing client list includes Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Bob Woodward, George Will, and Lynne Cheney — as well as TV personalities Christiane Amanpour, Andrea Mitchell, and Neil Cavuto. Fox News contributor Jim Pinkerton, who worked with Ailes on George H.W. Bush’s 1988 presidential campaign,will be co-author. The magazine says that Pinkerson was Michele Bachmann’s ghost writer for her book, Core Of Conviction. The article says that the book might help Ailes’ effort to soften his image as a sharp-elbowed politico. It notes that he recently told AP that he’s weighing different options — he mused about owning the Cleveland Indians. It can also be seen, the article says, in “Ailes’s recent comments that Fox has taken a ‘course correction,’ putting distance between himself and the Republican circus his network did so much to promote.” Ailes’ contract at Fox expires in summer 2013. In response to the article, a Fox News spokesperson says that there is one source with direct knowledge of Rogers plans and thats Roger himself.” Since Ailes has never spoken to the writer of the article, Gabriel Sherman, “we continue to be fascinated with Gabes uncanny ability to read his mind.

The Good Wife Bosses: We Don't Want Will and Alicia To Be a Will-They-Or-Won't-They Couple

Julianna Margulies Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy waits 15 years for girl to separate from husband. And then girl breaks up with boy ... because she "can't." Yes, The Good Wife's Team Will fans had to close the door on "Willicia" almost as quickly as those elevator doors opened just a few months ago. "We don't want this show to be in that Cheers mode of "when will they or won't they" kind of thing. As good as that is, we wanted to show the reality that Alicia has a lot of things pressing on her and a lot of guilt trips and emotions that factor into whether she carries on an affair," co-creator and executive producer Robert King tells TVGuide.com. "There was an emotional moment last year where Grace says, 'Mom, you need to protect us more.' That has been nagging at Alicia all this year." The Good Wife exclusive: Court is back in session for Denis O'Hare However, King and his wife, co-creator and executive producer Michelle King, stress that doesn't mean those doors have shut forever. "In our minds, Will is in love with Alicia. There is, yes, romanticism about the past and a romantic instinct towards finding commitment in your life," Robert King says. "But there will be the tension for both Will and Alicia once Will starts seeing women again, if he does. There can't help but be this pang with Alicia because she is a highly charged sexual being now." Romance will be the furthest thing from Alicia's mind though as she returns her focus to her kids and especially her career. "Do you choose the route of Diane, who is someone who put family on hold and put career first? Is there any way you can do that with family?" King says. "I think when things are not about emotional risk, they are about advancing your job." Watch full episodes of The Good Wife Alicia's continued struggle to balance her career and her family will bring Peter (Chris Noth) back into the picture. "Peter and Alicia share a lot of difficulties and a lot of pain," King says. "What Alicia shares with Peter is something she could never share with Will, which is that they are trying to raise children. But with Peter, obviously comes the baggage of Jackie, and how many Molotov cocktails she can throw into this." On top of Jackie's scheming, spying ways, there's also the issue of the Peter's office's investigation into Will (Josh Charles), which Alicia (Julianna Margulies) has yet to find out about. "Clearly, he wanted to hurt Will in private. It was also sort of a political advantage to pursue the Will investigation. It is very difficult when those two things are aligned: something that you want and yet something that advances your career," he says. "Does that undercut the honesty of it? Alicia is going to have to face that with Peter too." American Pie's Jason Biggs lawyers up on The Good Wife "Ultimately these two characters are really bonded with each other and care about each other as friends. While their relationship and intimacy level has deepened, I think what's happened right now feels right," Charles says. "He has his hands full with trying to remain a lawyer and stay out of prison." It will take a lot to keep Will out of the prison, as the investigation brings more than a few skeletons out of his closet. "It brings in a lot of major threads that have been pursuing Will for a while. Will has always cut very close to the ethical line, sometimes crossing it," King says. "That stuff doesn't go away. If there is any lesson the show has sent, it's that the sins of the past keep coming back." The investigation will also further open Will's eyes about his desire to have more in his life than just a corner office at Lockhart & Gardner. "Will is going to have a brush with death, in terms of his career because of what is happening with this investigation," he says. Will's search for commitment "is going to really nag at him over the course of the second half of the season. He is going to come to a decision by the end of the year." Does that mean there is hope for a reconciliation between Will and Alicia? "That doesn't mean that it wouldn't bring her back into Will's sphere in some way. It just would have to be a very different permutation because you don't want to just go backwards with the narrative," King says. "There is this constant forward momentum to who Alicia is becoming." The Good Wife airs Sunday at 9/8c on CBS. (Additional reporting by Robyn Ross)

Gary Oldman is the Perfect Secret Agent in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'

Gary Oldman is the Perfect Secret Agent in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' By Jenelle Riley December 8, 2011 Photo by Focus Features Gary Oldman in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" Gary Oldman has played so many different roles onscreenpunk rocker, gay playwright, Harry Potter's godfather, cops noble and dirty, Count Draculathat it's hard to believe it when he says of his latest character, "I've never really played someone like this before."The role in question is George Smiley, the brilliant but reserved British spy who appears in many of John le Carr's novels and was immortalized by Alec Guinness in the 1979 BBC miniseries "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," in which Smiley tries to determine which of his peers is a traitor. Now Oldman is stepping into Guinness' "very big shoes" in a new film adaptation from director Tomas Alfredson ("Let the Right One In"), and the decision to take on the character could have been "a colossal failure," the actor admits. Instead, the role is earning him rave reviews and buzz that one of the most respected actors of his generation will finally score his first Oscar nomination.Oldman is such a chameleon onscreen, one isn't sure what to expect upon meeting him in person. He has perfected so many accents, you can't even be sure what he'll sound like in real life. Even when he stands next to a poster for the film, it's difficult to believe it's the same man: Smiley has gray hair, a face furrowed by seriousness, and thick glasses obscuring his eyes. Oldman is lithe and sprightly, is prone to bouts of laughter, and looks much younger than his 53 years. Point out that he frequently plays characters much older than himself and he quips, "I'm getting there, though. I'm finally catching up with my last name."He is old enough, however, to remember when the "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy" miniseries aired. "It was the days before TiVo and all that, and you would work your social calendar around that one hour a week on Sunday night," he says. "I remember it quite well, and the shadow that Alec Guinness casts looms large, you know?" Oldman knew that comparisons would be made and feared he would come up short. "I certainly don't put myself in the same league as Alec Guinness. But at the end of the day, I convinced myself; I played a little trick on my head and I thought, 'There's been other Romeos and other Hamlets, and you're always in the shadow of someone that played the role, whether it was Barrymore or Ralph Fiennes.' So I sort of walked through that fire and convinced myself that I was up to the challenge."In his early film career, Oldman made a name for himself giving wildly entertaining, over-the-top performances in movies like "The Professional" and "The Fifth Element." So it's interesting to note how reined in Smiley is. In the source novel, his wife describes him as a creature who can regulate his body temperature to the room. "He really is the perfect spy," Oldman says. "There are people who light up a room, and there are people who disappear. I thought of Smiley as like watching a lava lamp: It has the pace of snow falling." The actor was able to deliver such a calibrated performance because Alfredson took pains to make a film that would quietly draw the audience in, Oldman says. "You go to movies now, and with 3-D and films that are just cut, cut, cut, you feel like you're being assaulted. I want to take a nap afterwards. But 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' makes you sit up and come to it."Preparing to play Smiley came easier than preparing most roles, according to Oldman, thanks to the wealth of source material. "Everything you could want to know about George Smiley is in the books," he says. "In addition, I had access to John le Carr, who was a spy at MI-6 during the period where the film is set. It was one-stop shopping." Though he doesn't necessarily stay in character between takes, Oldman admits he was quieter than usual on set. "I kept kind of to myself," he says, adding that he did forge a good friendship with Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Smiley's protg.Oldman also might have unintentionally taken his character home with him at the end of the day. "I shot this during the school year, so my wife and children were home in Los Angeles. I rented a little apartment, and it was actually furnished a bit like George's," he says. "So I would finish work and come back home, and I would be alone in this environment. I'd watch TV or sit and read, or just go to bed, but the situation and the surroundings very much complemented the role I was playing."Up next, Oldman will complete his run in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy as Commissioner James Gordon in the highly anticipated "The Dark Knight Rises." When Oldman is asked to reveal any plot points about the secretive finale, a quick smile crosses his face. "Oh, if only I could," he says with a sigh. But there's no use trying to get anything out of him; he is, after all, the perfect spy.Outtakes Other films include "True Romance," "JFK," and "The Contender"Calls himself a fan of the new generation of British actors, particularly Michael Fassbender and his "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" co-stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom HardyHis lengthy stage career includes playing opposite Glenda Jackson in "Summit Conference" in 1982 and an award-winning turn in 1985's "The Pope's Wedding" Gary Oldman is the Perfect Secret Agent in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' By Jenelle Riley December 8, 2011 Gary Oldman in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" PHOTO CREDIT Focus Features Gary Oldman has played so many different roles onscreenpunk rocker, gay playwright, Harry Potter's godfather, cops noble and dirty, Count Draculathat it's hard to believe it when he says of his latest character, "I've never really played someone like this before."The role in question is George Smiley, the brilliant but reserved British spy who appears in many of John le Carr's novels and was immortalized by Alec Guinness in the 1979 BBC miniseries "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy," in which Smiley tries to determine which of his peers is a traitor.

Covert Affairs Bosses on the "Bittersweet" Finale and What's Next for Annie and Auggie

Piper Perabo, Christopher Gorham [WARNING: The following story contains major spoilers from the Season 2 finale of Covert Affairs. Read at your own risk.]It finally happened. Annie (Piper Perabo) made a move for Auggie (Christopher Gorham) on the Season 2 Covert Affairs finale - only to get her heart broken. Not that Auggie was aware of it, of course, after giving Annie his Corvette while he jetted off to Eritrea to pursue his relationship with Parker (Devin Kelley). But that wasn't the only big development: Auggie got the bad news that he's not a suitable candidate for eye surgery to regain his sight, and Jai (Sendhil Ramamurthy) outed his dad Henry (Gregory Itzin) as the CIA leak and his big, bad plan to seize Joan's job.What's in store for Annie and Auggie? Is there a love triangle in the works? And how will Jai go about dethroning Joan (Kari Matchett)? Co-creators/co-executive producers Chris Ord and Matt Corman answer our burning questions about the finale and tell us what we can expect in Season 3.VIDEO: Covert Affairs' Sendhil Ramamurthy: What Jai does is "pretty severe"How did you decide to start the Annie-Auggie story line now?Matt: I think it's the right time to create a complication for them. Fans have been wanting this for a while and it was too early then, but now was the right time for one or the other to kind of be a little brave and express their truer feelings, and that's what Annie did. Part of falling in love and being in love is taking chances and making yourself vulnerable. It's very human and very admirable. I think the ending's sad, but it's satisfying on some levels. We were hoping for bittersweet.Parker is still in the picture. Are she and Auggie still going to be together?Chris: He's very serious about Parker. We never mislead, so he is going to go [to Eritrea], but he can't stay there, obviously, so that's going to be difficult. The journey he's going to go on is great next season with Parker and just with himself. He made a lot of big choices in the finale and that's going to carry over.Will he realize his feelings for Annie or will Annie make hers known?Matt: He's pursuing this relationship with Parker right now and Annie respects that. She's not a willful home wrecker so there won't be a torrid affair or anything. ... In our mind,Annie and Auggie arestar-crossed in the truest sense in that one or the other may be in touch with their feelings at any one point, but so far they haven't synced up. I think what people do sometimes is they express themselves to see what it feels like in that moment. She just said, "You're the person I want to talk to," but then he let her know where his head was at.Chris: Their relationship is going to be tested. Annie shot somebody in the finale and that will have an effect on her psyche, and Auggie's dealing with his own issues. She's an emotional person, but she's calculating. I don't think she's going to break down, but that's always the battle with her. What's great about her is that she doesn't always want to hide her emotions. ... Also while she knows there's a woman out there, she doesn't really know much about his relationship with Parker because it's not a topic they get into very much. As evidenced when Auggie found out about Dr. Scott through Danielle (Anne Dudek), they don't talk about their relationships with each other. And that's telling. When you have a friendship where you're holding that element back, I think you both are obviously feeling something for one another, but not acting on it.Auggie's usually very intuitive about Annie, but he was completely off here. Is this a sign of more obstacles in their way?Chris: This was intended to be the first moment where he's really not being intuitive. We wanted their relationship to change. ... He's in his own headspace - he has one foot out the door to Africa - and he'll continue to be in Season 3. Matt: I would say it's just from what he's gone through in the episode. While he is comfortable with his blindness, he would still like to see. By doing the MRI, you can't help but get your hopes up. To have those hopes dashed is painful. He's been caught up in that. He's not dense, but he's got his own issues and it's fair for him to have his own issues.Covert Affairs' Kari Matchett: Joan won't try to get rid of Jai againYou guys and Chris have always said you don't want Auggie to regain his sight. Is that still the plan?Matt: Yes. He's wrestling with these issues, but for us, it's more interesting to see someone come to terms with a disability or a life-changing accident. I think you can always question it. I think to blithely accept something like this is disingenuous. People who are in this situation try to make the best of it and enjoy their lives, but part of it is railing against it from time to time. But to actually reinvent the character would be distasteful. For us, it's the journey he's going through is more magical than any surgery that can make him sighted.Chris: We want to explore the side of Auggie that if he can see, he'd like to see. I think why he [went to the doctor] was part Parker and part Annie. He has multiple reasons to see. He's never actually seen Annie, if you realize. While he has a sense of who she is, I think there's an element of Annie that contributed to that.What about Annie's love life? Will she have any love interests? We haven't seen Ben in a while.Chris: Maybe Ben (Eion Bailey) will be back! We can say she will have love interests - old and new. Let everyone speculate!Let's get to Jai. Has his plan gone perfectly so far? Is Joan's job his actual goal?Chris: It's pretty much gone according to plan, but the further along you go in a plan like this, the more complicated it's going to get. We've only begun to see the true Jai story. In Season 3, it's going to evolve in a way people won't expect. ... Joan's job is what he thinks he wants. I think what happens is when you think you want something big, it's a cautionary tale. If you go down the path of trying to get it, it might not be at all what you think it is and you may not be up for it. How is he going to go after Joan? Auggie even told him he's alienated everyone there.Matt: It's also a dog-eat-dog world in the CIA. If he gains enough momentum, he can make it happen. He's gotten himself here and I think he has some idea how to get further. He's going to go through all of it to get to Joan - missions, inquests. He's made it clear he's doing it. He's told Arthur (Peter Gallagher). It's like in basketball when you tell someone what you're going to do and then you do it. That's a mind game.Will we see Henry again - in or out of jail?Chris: Henry will be back. I can't say how, but he's definitely not gone. And Jai thinks the "stink of nepotism" is gone, but it's not. His legacy is never going to go away and that will be more apparent as he goes forward [with his plan]. It's about managing and dealing with that.Covert Affairs' Chris Gorham on Auggie's new girlfriend: It's a very complicated relationshipArthur's in a precarious position. Will he tell Joan what's going on?Chris: You'll see him weighing these choices. His relationship with Joan is strong enough where he could tell her, but Arthur is actually more concerned about Jai. There's a side of Arthur that is a father figure to Jai. I mean, he's worried about Jai taking Joan's job for sure, but he's worried about Jai as a person and what he can do to help him.What's in store for Joan besides Jai going after her job?Matt: We're going to explore some of Joan's backstory. We haven't strung it together yet ... but she'll be out in the field again. We're hoping it will be on location. We've enjoyed the location shooting. If it makes sense for stories, we'll continue to go away.Have you considered having a long-term villain instead of standalone villains?Matt: Yes. That's actually what we're figuring out now. We're going to be dovetailing into more long-arc storytelling in Season 3. I think it's something our audience will invest in. We're at the point now where we can start to do more in-depth weaving of narrative. Sendhil's all about having an ab-off with Chris and Peter. Will you write that in?Chris: [Laughs] That might be its own spin-off. Where would they be shirtless? In the gym?Matt: Yeah, that's more of a spin-off aerobics show. Just so you know, Chris and I have our shirts off right now.Chris: I would temper your enthusiasm for that though!

Males In Black 3 Official Posters Arrive

Don't stare way too hard...Provided that the majority of the buzz so far on Males In Black 3 continues to be fairly negative reviews of script issues, production delays and can Smith's large trailer, The new sony is without doubt ready to turn things around. And also the first official marketing volley: teaser posters for that movie featuring stars Cruz and Tommy Lee Johnson are online via Not Far Off.Very first revealed through the gang at Collider a week ago once they started appearing in US movie theaters, the posters are in least not the same as your usual floating mind types (along with a departure in the traditional shots of Cruz and Johnson holding large guns), though we all do worry they often send your vision a little funny should you stare their way for too lengthy.Males In Black 3 postersAlso preparing is exactly what seems to become a viral advertising campaign for that film, having a URL around the posters resulting in the Facebook page of the conspiracy nut which has hit pay grime and discovered the presence of the MIB team. There isn't much into it yet, but expect it to grow soon.Males In Black 3 finds Smith's Agent J needing to travel in time for you to save a youthful K (Josh Brolin) and prevent another world-threatening disaster. The film also features Alice Eve, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson, Bill Hader, Michael Stuhlbarg and Rip Torn. It will be out (in three dimensional) on May 25, 2012.

Piers Morgan Logs His Cheapest-Ranked Month

Per month shy of his one-year anniversary at CNN, Piers Morgan just published his cheapest-ranked month up to now within the key grown ups 25-54 demographic.

What's 'Hugo'? Thinking about see 'Hugo' instead of, or along with, other family fare 'The Muppets' and 'Arthur Christmas'? Just like a service we answer every question you may have about Martin Scorsese's 'Hugo.' Q: May be the film while using dog? A: You've a few things wrong here: You're thinking about Steven Spielberg's 'The Adventures of Tintin,' that you simply are confusing with Rin Container Container. Q: And so the dog's title is 'Hugo'? A: 'Hugo' is not of a dog. Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield) can be a youthful boy who lives in the Paris stop. Q: Why Hugo live in an end? A: Because his father (Jude Law) died in the fire, departing Hugo parentless. He's sent to get results for his uncle (Ray Winstone), who also eventually ends up getting a substantial trouble with alcohol. Q: The amount of films has Jude Law experienced this year? A: Like the approaching 'Sherlock Holmes' follow-up, just three. That's his limit since the Jude Law Movie Regulation Act of 2004 was passed. Q: Is Hugo's uncle violent? A: No. Just absent and difficult to depend on. Hugo takes it upon themselves to continue his uncle's job of winding the clocks within the stop. Q: Why would Hugo continue this? Might be the stop having to pay Hugo? A: Hugo does not seem to become getting taken proper care of his efforts, but he's doing use his amount of time in the station to steal parts to correct a broken automan he and also the father happen to be concentrating on before his father's dying. Q: Oh, From the Automan. It absolutely was a tv series in 1983 searching Dezi Arnez Junior. A: No, in this situation, an automan can be a mechanical guy who, once wound, are able to do certain tasks. In this situation, Hugo's automan can write. Q: Simply what does the automan write? A: Well, that's what Hugo desires to uncover. He thinks it might be an email from his dead father. But his plans are thrown clearly when he's caught stealing by Georges Méliès (Ben Kingsley) who turns Hugo towards the neighborhood stop inspector (Sacha Baron Cohen). Q: Oh, does Sacha Baron Cohen reprise his role as... A: No. Before you request, stop. Q: Wait, the director Georges Méliès? A: Well, yes.

But, sadly, the higher that's revealed about 'Hugo,' the less a person would enjoy the experience. Q: Will you create a pointless example? A: Sure! It's as if I were selling a clump of Play-Doh (I'm happening the assumption here that youngsters love Play-Doh) only hidden inside the Play-Doh is Georges Méliès. Q: Is Hugo the most effective 3-D you've ever seen? A: Yes. Q: Is 'Hugo' Martin Scorsese's appropiate product formerly ten years? A: Yes. Q: What film made you more comfortable upon departing the theater: 'Hugo' or 'The Muppets'? A: The pleasure from 'The Muppets' was more intense, like I'd just smoked an entire bag of Fun Dip. (I'm initially from Missouri, we smoke our Fun Dip to arrange for that eventual Very Meth addiction). But 'Hugo' left me getting a far more warming, all encompassing type of happiness. (You understand, like from heroin.) Q: Will most patrons choose to see 'Hugo' in 3-D? A: Most patrons will not skip on depth, and can in most probability skip height and width, too. Q: In the event you could pick your individual quote being blurbed inside the ads for 'Hugo' a couple of days ago, what else could you choose? A: "'Hugo' is en fuego" Mike Ryan, Moviefone Q: Um... it might be obvious that doesn't rhyme, right? A: It's close. And That I thought it had been clever: you understand, sticking while using French theme and many types of... Q: No, it is not. I'm speaking about, really, it is not close whatsoever. Also, that is not even French, it is the the spanish language language. A: Right, fuck it. You'll be able to contact Mike Ryan on Twitter. Follow Moviefone on Twitter Like Moviefone on Facebook

Golden Globes TV Forecasts from THR's Tim Goodman

This short article first made an appearance within the 12 ,. 2 problem from the Hollywood Reporter magazine.our editor recommendsDisney's ESPN Mind George Bodenheimer to decrease Day-to-Day Responsibilities Jan. 1ESPN Analyst Drops F-Explosive device on Live Television (Video)Penn Condition Scandal: Marketers Bail on ESPN Broadcast I don't care what anybody states, I'm not scared to test shit," states Bill Simmons, reclining at his desk in the sparsely decorated downtown La office. Within this situation, Simmons, 42, whose wit, humor and frequently irreverent Sports Guy column have switched him in to the most prominent sportswriter in the united states, is mentioning to Grantland, the ESPN-backed site he released in June. By September, the website -- a mixture of intellectuals pontificating around the entertainment triumvirate of sports, popular culture and Hollywood -- was tempting 2.4 million unique site visitors per month, based on ComScore. It's quite an addition towards the Boston native and former America online blogger's portfolio, which boasts two best-selling books, the Peabody-winning 30 for 30 documentary series, 1.5 million Twitter fans and an accumulation of B.S. Report podcasts which are each downloaded about 750,000 occasions. The married father of two, who gone to live in La to create for Due To Jimmy Kimmel Live! and keeps scores of Hollywood fans who appreciate his capability to compare a game title for an episode from the Wire (nowadays, he's even recapping Television shows), sitting lower to go over his vision for Grantland, his Hollywood gripes and the tentative intend to add "TV star" to his résumé. The Hollywood Reporter: Why did you choose to do Grantland? Bill Simmons: I'd spent 3 years focusing on this book, and that i was striking 40, and that i was like, "Exactly what do I wish to do lengthy-term?" I always aspired to produce a site which was sports and popular culture. 30 for 30 were built with a large impact because I loved how which was about finding, strengthening and dealing with one of these incredible company directors, and that i thought exactly the same factor perform for authors. I investigated different sites and looked through all my personal favorite magazines and attempted to locate individuals who were enroute up. PHOTOS: Hollywood's Greatest Fantasy Football Fans THR: How have you convince ESPN to finance it? Simmons: Simple -- I'd did it with someone else. My contract still had 10 several weeks to visit, and that we began speaking about this, and that i stated: "I wish to figure this out, and I wish to get it done here. But when we arrive at the finish of individuals 10 several weeks, I'm still going to get it done.Inch THR: Podcasts really are a large focus for you personally. It is possible to real business there? Simmons: Yes. I believe we are able to cut them into Television shows, and i believe ESPN and ESPN 2 can run them. That's why we built the studio to complete half-hour shows or hourlong shows or whatever. THR: Which means you're likely to turn your podcast interviews into half-hour sit-lower interview shows? Simmons: Yeah. Should you consider the ESPN schedule, you will find lots of occasions where, say, a game title 7 fell through, or they thought a game title would happen also it doesn't. Or at this time, where they thought they'd have many of these National basketball association games they don't have. They've time, and when you've evergreen content you are able to provide them with, they're likely to run it whether it's good. THR: So far as visitors go, who's around the wish list? Simmons: I believe the very best podcasts we've done happen to be ones where individuals are wise. Used to do a podcast with Ticketmaster Boss [Nathan Hubbard], that we thought was great. I'd enjoy having Aaron Sorkin on. Ray David could be really fun. Anyone who has produced an excellent show -- David Simon or Matthew Weiner. I'm able to always get commissioners and sports people, however i'd prefer to dive into Hollywood a bit more. I'm approaching it just a little in a different way. I believe once they do industry interviews, it's always "inside baseball." This will probably be a great conversation. THR: What else would you like related to Grantland that you simply haven't yet? Simmons: We discuss it as if you will find TV seasons. Season one, which we simply finished, involved not heading down in flames, building a crowd and employing a complete staff, which we didn't have until Labor Day. We now have four more employs to create, only then do we'll be achieved at about 16 total. Season two is ongoing to obtain authors. One thing which i was wishing happens immediately was getting celebs to create for all of us. When a celebrity who are able to really write really wants to write something, they are doing it for that Huffington Publish, which pisses me off. THR: In May, before Grantland released, you stated within an interview that you simply weren't sure you'd produce the site should you needed to get it done once again. Still believe way? Simmons: It had been most likely the worst possible time that i can did a job interview. I was starting in four days, and that we weren't ready, and that i may potentially go lower in flames. Look, we released before we ought to have, and that we didn't have sufficient people. We had watching people us and were hypercritical the very first couple of days -- that we didn't think was totally fair, however i have it. Exactly the same factor happened whenever we released Jimmy's show. You receive judged because of your first week when you get judged because of your 30th week. Jimmy's show didn't even become the show that it's now until 18 several weeks in. He is able to say all he wants, but he's filled with shit. (Laughs.) You learn, and also you get some things wrong. It simply appears like individuals are afraid to test things. Related Subjects ESPN 1 2 next last

American Horror Story's Lily Rabe on Nora's Heartbreak, Head Wound

American Horror Story When we last saw the ghost of Nora Montgomery, formerly a '20s-era socialite who maintained her well-to-do lifestyle by feeding her flailing, drug-addicted surgeon husband starlets in need of an abortion, she was telling Ben to man up and protect his baby from crazy Hayden! (At least, he thinks the thing inside Vivien is his...) American Horror Story's Lily Rabe, who plays the original owner of and oldest ghost in Casa Harmon, tells TVGuide.com that modern-day Nora is more of a haunted, rather than haunting, spirit. Before she gave Ben (Dylan McDermott) his pep talk, her ghost lamented microwaves with Vivien (Connie Britton). Exclusive first look: American Horror Story's Infantata rises "It's like getting to play two parts," Rabe says of the difference between dead Nora and put-upon, turn-of-the-century Nora. "Death has changed her. Her suffering has so tremendously changed her." Nora's own baby was killed after of one of the girls she recruited for a quiet abortion confessed to her boyfriend, who in turn kidnapped and dismembered the youngest Montgomery. Rabe, a Tony-nominated theater actress and the daughter of the late Jill Clayburgh, was brought in to American Horror Story specifically by series boss Ryan Murphy, who wrote the part of Nora especially for her; Clayburgh, appeared in Murphy's film adaptation of Running With Scissors and received an Emmy nomination for her guest work on Nip/Tuck. "He's so innovative. Everything Ryan does changes the face of television," Rabe says. "He's one of those people who, if he told me to stand on my head, I would just do it. I believe all he said to me about this part initially was, 'You're gonna love it. It's a fabulous part. Her name is Nora.' At the time I was playing Nora in A Doll's House, so it also felt like a bit of kismet." In this week's episode (Wednesday at 10/9c on FX), the aftermath of Nora's tragic past will play out to its bloody end: Dr. Charles (Matt Ross), last seen trying to sew together their dead son, delivers some disturbing news to Nora with equally shocking consequences - and Vivien will learn all about it while on the murder house tour. (About that gaping hole in the back of Nora's head? "You will know exactly why and how it got there," Rabe says.) Watch clips and interviews from American Horror Story And as for what Nora is after now, both she and Constance (Jessica Lange) have vested interests in what happens to the house and whatever is growing inside of Vivien, all revolving around family matters. Rabe says Murphy's more than made good on his promise that Nora would allow the actress to stretch all her acting muscles, from wicked to vulnerable. "While Nora was awful and even abusive toward her husband because of what happened to them, in the present, she's sort of the most heart-breaking thing," Rabe says. "She's broken. She's been living in pain for literally decades and decades." Rabe just received raves for her performance in the Christopher Munch film Letters From the Big Man and is currently starring in Broadway's Seminar alongside Alan Rickman. She says even theatergoers want answers to American Horror Story's riddles. "Every night, we go out and sign autographs and everyone's really excited about the play,but then they also really want to talk about American Horror Story. 'Who's Rubber Man?' 'What's happening next?'" But Rabe says she isn't exactly privy to all the answers either. The actress is still shooting several more episodes. "I get the script, and I'm pouring over it," she said. "I may have a couple more answers than you do, but I also have tons of questions that I'm wanting to figure out myself." Check out the moment in which Charles breaks his big news to Nora in this week's episode, "Murder House":

Green Lantern Shines in New Animated Series for Cartoon Network

The Greenlantern Green Lantern may not be as popular as his fellow Justice Leaguers Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but in comic-book circles, he's a fan favorite with a vibrant decades-long history in the pages of DC Comics. Though the character's theatrical debut last summer was underwhelming, a new TV adventure finally gives the character his due. The fast-paced and eye-popping Green Lantern: The Animated Series gets a special hour-long sneak preview tonight on Cartoon Network before returning for weekly episodes next year. Overseen by animation maestro Bruce Timm (Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League) along with producer Giancarlo Volpe (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender), the computer-generated series features Hal Jordan, a member of the intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps, who wields power rings which can form constructs in whatever shape they imagine. "Hal really enjoys the thrills of danger," Timm says. "And like all Green Lanterns, he's pure of heart, he controls his fear. Personality wise, he's somewhere between Captain Kirk and Han Solo. He's not quite as roguish as Han Solo and not quite as much of a grown-up as Captain Kirk can be." Timm and Volpe drew inspiration from comic-book writer Geoff Johns' reintroduction of the character over the past few years. "We focused more on the recent stuff that Geoff has done, but a lot of his work is inspired by stuff he grew up reading as a kid," Volpe says. "It's a little bit more of the recent take on Green Lantern, as inspired by the rich back story." One of Johns' biggest innovations to the Green Lantern mythos was to introduce an entire spectrum of Lantern corps, including the rage-fueled Red Lanterns, the hope-filled Blue Lanterns, and the greedy Orange Lanterns. The Red Lanterns, who will be the villains of this series, are a nasty bunch led by the ruthless, appropriately named, Atrocitus. "He has a personal vendetta against the Guardians, the leaders of the Green Lantern Corps," Volpe says. "He is convinced that they decimated his homeworld and countless others, and they need to pay for it. Whatever terrible things happened in his past, he wants payback for it, and so does the rest of his army." It remains to be seen if - or more likely, when - other Lantern Corps will show up in the series. "One of the challenges of CG is that you can't really load up a show with countless characters like you can in a traditionally animated show," Volpe says of the expensive, labor-intensive format. "So we have to be economic and prudent with who appears in the show. We have our wish list and we go down it very slowly. But there are plenty of other opportunities to get the other Lanterns in for sure." Green Lantern: The Animated Series premieres tonight at 7/6c on Cartoon Network.

The series, which will range from short-format to television-length, will debut in early 2012 on START, YouTube's new video game channel produced by IGN.our editor recommendsAnalyst: YouTube Channels No Immediate Threat to Entertainment CompaniesYouTube Announces TV Initiative With 100 Niche Channels IGN has attracted over 1 billion views from its current YouTube offerings, but is now taking production to the next step with the intent of seeing some content migrate beyond the Internet. START will launch with new shows like Celebrity Assassin, IGN Pro Gaming, The Next Game Boss and Game Over. Roy Bahat, president of IGN Entertainment, talks about START in this exclusive interview. The Hollywood Reporter: What are your plans with START? Roy Bahat: We believe there is a gap in entertaining content about games on a big screen. Games are the number one leisure activity for guys under the age of 35. Ninety-one percent of kids under the age of 17 play games. We believe that games, as a genre, should be represented with what you see on TV around sports, music, film and sci-fi and fantasy. There should be hit television content about games and we just see this YouTube channel as a great chance to experiment and search for that. THR: What type of length are you looking at for this type of content? Bahat: The length is going to be longer than what you typically might see for the Web all the way up to what might work for television. Some of the stuff is going to be seven, eight minutes long. Some of it might be twenty-two minutes long or even longer. THR: What's the rollout plan in terms of when people would start being able to see content? Bahat: In the beginning, that's something we're doing in partnership with YouTube. As soon as the channels roll out we'll be there with them. It's in the beginning of the new calendar year, basically. THR: What shows will you be launching with? Bahat: The Next Game Boss competition series is something we're going to expand on when we launch. It has a couple of episodes on IGN already and it's a reality show that allows gamers to get a job in the video game industry. We will be doing some games news and stuff like that with Game Over, it's just not going to be the predominant thing on the channel. It will be just mixed in among other things like Celebrity Assassin, where celebrities pick up a game controller and talk about their new projects, and IGN Pro League, which will focus on eSports. THR: For games news, will it be similar to what we see on the Internet today? Bahat: It's an expanded version of what we see on the Internet probably with somewhat different pacing. We're going to be fundamentally presuming you're watching it on a big screen and leaning back. We're going to try to focus on making it that kind of content. THR: What kind of production quality will these shows have? Bahat: One of the things we've tried really hard to do at IGN is do stuff that's quick so we can capture footage here in the office when somebody wants to riff about a game or say something funny, but doing it at quality that looks great. What's great is that every year the difference between a Flip Cam and something that takes reasonably well-lit HD video, is actually not that big anymore. The intent is for it all to look great so that the content makes brands feel comfortable associating their name with. That's not true of user-generated content out there or of all the stuff that's shot at lower production quality. That's not to say we're going to have ten-person crews. We're just going to focus on doing things that look great, but are fast and easy to do that brands would want to be associated with. THR: How do you see this content differing from what we've seen Machinima do with YouTube in recent years? Bahat: We've also worked very closely with YouTube. We have a billion views to date on YouTube. I'd say You Tube is a platform that's been working in a pretty fair way with all partners. The content that YouTube is now funding is going to be different from everything that's currently on the platform because there's going to be more dollars going into the content. That means you'll probably see in these channels less of the sole content creator doing gameplay commentary and more things that have Hollywood-caliber talent working on them. There's great stuff being produced by sole independent content guys and we love working with them, but I think you'll see a different kind of professional caliber of talent at work. THR: Who are you working with from Hollywood on these projects? Bahat: Our partner in producing this channel is Shine Group and they're the makers of The Office, Master Chef and The Biggest Loser. Our intent in doing this was to bring television caliber content to this opportunity. Related Topics YouTube IGN

"The behavior that the News of the World exhibited towards the Dowlers was abhorrent and I hope this donation underscores my regret for the company's role in this awful event." Said the Dowler family: "Nothing that has been agreed will ever bring back Milly or undo the traumas of her disappearance and the horrendous murder trial earlier this year. The only way that a fitting tribute could be agreed was to ensure that a very substantial donation to charity was made in Milly's memory.

Relatively Speaking: Theater Review

Bucking the prevailing Broadway trend, it is not the heavens nevertheless the playwrights that are the attract Relatively Speaking. Tenuously connected with the theme of family, these three one-act comedies by Ethan Coen, Elaine May and Woodsy Allen yield some chuckles, even if John Turturro's flat-footed direction frequently works against them. Nevertheless the featherweight package comprises a flimsy situation for your star energy of authors.our editor recommendsEthan Coen, Woodsy Allen and Elaine May One-Act Plays to produce Broadway Debut Most effective entry is May's George is Dead, that's been kicking around since 2006 just like a vehicle personalized for Marlo Thomas. Wearing mutton-fitted-as-lamb couture together with a frosted blond hairpiece, she plays an expensively maintained, dippy socialite and monster of self-absorption named Doreen. Carrying out a dying of her husband in the skiing accident, she seems in crisis mode at home of her former nanny's married daughter, Carla (Lisa Emery). Grief is less an problem than confusion for Doreen, who's unequipped to produce any kind of decision. "I'm awful," she gripes. "What is going to I really do? I not have access to the depth to feel this bad." There's sturdy support from Emery, balancing bitterness and forbearance, and from Patricia O'Connell as Carla's mother, who neglected her own daughter to frequently Doreen's bottomless pit of needs. But it's Thomas' self-parodying turn providing you with the comedy a kick, making Doreen blithely insensitive yet in some manner poignant in their helplessness. She's as being a Real Housewife with vulnerability together with a great joke author. Watching her tune out Carla's marital discord by permitting lost in vintage sitcoms can't help but raise a grin. Maintaining the whimsical mood otherwise the standard or imagination of his bounce-back hit this year, Evening amount of time in Paris, Allen's Honeymoon Motel can be a shticky Borscht Belt farce. "A person's heart wants exactly what it wants," Allen infamously mentioned in the 1992 Time Magazine interview about his romantic defection from Mia Farrow to her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. "There's no logic to people things." Almost 2 decades later, Allen trots out that same sentiment in the scenario with uncomfortable parallels. Jerry (Steve Guttenberg) and Nina (Ari Graynor) consider the bridal suite from the tacky motel, but a stream of criminals disrupt their bliss. It soon emerges that Jerry wasn't your daughter's groom that the particular wedding was derailed. The fallout over Nina's change of heart within the altar leads to different amounts of outrage, anger and philosophical reflection among the brides' parents (Julie Kavner, Mark Linn-Baker), Jerry's wife (Caroline Aaron), the most effective guy (Grant Shaud), the Rabbi (Richard Libertini), Jerry's shrink (Jason Kravits), pizza delivery guy (Danny Hoch) as well as the intended groom (Bill Military). You will discover moments to have within the stars, and nobody will dispute Allen's facility getting a 1-lining, even if many of them listed below are shamelessly hoary. Guttenberg and Graynor provide a serenely daffy center for the maelstrom of bickering and chaos, Kavner's croaky line bloodstream pressure dimensions will make the phonebook funny, and Aaron might be the entire of sour cynicism. But Turturro is particularly from his depth in this entry. Farce needs buoyancy, difficulty breathing and physical momentum to achieve liftoff. The director essentially brings the ten-member cast onto Santo Loquasto's crowded set after which it doesn't know very well what associated with them beyond stand and deliver. That mismatch of director and material may also be apparent inside the lineup's first and several insubstantial entry, Coen's Speaking Cure. Multiple periods from the counselor (Kravits) and also the patient (Hoch) in the high-security psych facility trace the latter's violent behavior to his quarrelsome parents (Katherine Borowitz, Allen Lewis Rickman), whose dueling obsessions are Heifetz and Hitler. Oy. This might have been fodder for just about any funny throwaway joke in one of Allen's screen comedies in the late '70s or early eighties. But Coen lacks the appropriate lightness of touch. Despite attempts to strengthen the scenario by musing on semantics and contrasting understanding of mental illness, these 25 pointless minutes land getting a thud. Coen's film qualifications might lead audiences to visualise that his input brings some edge with a mystifying enterprise that feels as if a classic throwback for the days when Neil Simon comedies ruled Broadway. But Speaking Cure might be minimal satisfying item around the stale menu.
