[The Limey] So the music has faded, the red carpet’s rolled up and the whole endless ego-fest is over for a year. Or at least, until James Cameron demands a recount. But of all the clues to be gathered from this glitzy debacle, two stand out above all: Having an original [...] In news sure to wrinkle his Oscar-night Tux, the Hollywood Reporter says a preview copy of the upcoming Hugh Jackman tentpole, ‘X-Men – Wolverine,’ has been leaked via some Bit Torrent sites, and the FBI are now on the case. Not officially due for US release until May 1st, the grainy, [...] A good movie can make you feel happy and sad, all at once. And sometimes even news of a movie can affect you in similar ways; A story in today’s Risky Biz blog relates the wonderful news that Mr. Anthony Hopkins, an actor of sublime and almost peerless gifts, is ‘loosely connected’ to [...] So the party is over, the tears are all dried and the Kodak Theatre can call in the cleaners and restore its composure in time for next year. “Slumdog Millionaire” was the rightful winner of the night’s big cajuna, scoring 8 awards out of ten nominations, including ‘Best Picture’ – which [...] Well, the year is almost over [Hands up if you can believe it yet?] and that means time to prepare ourselves for that glorious annual schmooze-fest known as ‘The Academy Awards.’ This year’s marathon is scheduled for February 22nd and voting ballots went out to the 5,800+ members last Friday, with the [...] Hollywood’s creative anemia is advancing at a worrying pace.

Debbie Allen [...] This is truly a sad day. As I reported recently, GM has abandoned plans to be part of the Oscars next year. Today, AdAge has the news that the Korean car maker, Hyundai, has taken all of their spots. This, dear reader, is no less than tragic. GM and Oscar have a place in the [...] As part of a brilliant and dazzlingly creative scheme to escape the torment of their recent financial morass, MGM has decided to blaze a new trail in Hollywood and make a entirely new movie, based on a completely original idea. Sorry…Just kidding – They’re going to remake Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. The 1988 original, helmed by [...] It’s widely agreed that Hollywood is short on ideas. The one area of cranial athletics that seems to be in robust health, however, is a long-standing tendency for covetous exploitation. Evidence of this can be found in the news that ‘Batman, The Dark Knight’ is scheduled to be re-released in January so it can be [...] General Motors announced yesterday that it’s dropping the Oscar and Emmy ad campaigns that have been a fixture of those ceremonies for over ten years.
