That sound you just heard was the Internet exploding. Christopher Nolan and Warner Bros. announced today that Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway will take the role of “Selina Kyle” in The Dark Knight Rises . So, Catwoman? Nolan doesn’t say specifically in the press release: “I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Anne Hathaway, who will be a fantastic addition to our ensemble as we complete our story.” The director does confirm one villain, though: Tom Hardy will be playing the villainous Bane, and not The Riddler or Dr. Hugo Strange or any other obscure Batman foe.

Forget Armond White ; when it comes to curmudgeonly New York film critics, no one can top Rex Reed. He’s the O.G. of vitriol, snark and just plain nastiness. “After a string of flops, the lovely, accomplished and underappreciated Natalie Portman achieved something of a career breakthrough in the pretentious horror flick Black Swan ,” Reed writes in his review of No Strings Attached . “Now, before the impact has worn off, and on the verge of an Oscar nomination, she crumbles like a mildewed crumpet. Short of breaking into the editing lab and destroying the negative, she should have done everything legally possible to stop the ill-timed release of a vulgar, stupid pile of junk called No Strings Attached . This movie could destroy everything.” Looks like someone didn’t hear that the Norbit thing was over . [ NYO ]

The kind of filmmaking excitement that director Peter Weir brings to movies is bone deep. It doesn’t emerge in the flashy flourishes that come off as compulsively exhibitionistic — the “Dude, Where’s My Camera Car?” school. Instead, in the potent and dream-like The Way Back , Weir’s subtle control is evident by the way he uses sound, embracing the allure and menace it simultaneously evokes. And we’re reminded how crushingly obvious many directors are about incorporating the aural aspect of their work; generally when the audience is aware of it, it’s used like a blunt object by horror film directors.

Lost in the jubilation around Movieline HQ over the fact that Ricky Gervais took a flamethrower to Hollywood, the Golden Globes, Cher, Scientology, Tim Allen and The Tourist (sorry, Stephanie ), was the fact that actual awards were handed out on Sunday night. And they weren’t all that ridiculous! To wit: The Social Network won everything that Christian Bale, Melissa Leo and Natalie Portman didn’t. Toss in some deserved trophies for Chris Colfer, Jane Lynch and Katey Sagal, and you’ve got a pretty successful meaningless awards ceremony. Relive the fun over at our liveblog , and click ahead for your full list of winners.
