Across the pond in the U.K., the popular sitcom The Inbetweeners earned two BAFTA nominations and the Audience Award and ran for three seasons, depicting the coming-of-age mortifications of four teenage boys (Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley, and Blake Harrison) stumbling their way through life, girls, and the assorted humiliations of young adulthood. Naturally, MTV’s gone and mimicked the formula with an Americanized version, but the original foursome get their own feature-length holiday in The Inbetweeners Movie (out September 7). And if you’re in the Hollywood area today, you can be a part of their British invasion. The Inbetweeners stars will hit up a few iconic Hollywood locations today to promote their U.S. debut, and really – if you’re a fan, what better way is there to celebrate the facepalm-worthy exploits of the Inbetweeners crew than by scarfing down a few Pink’s hot dogs or watching them (fingers crossed) take the Saddle Ranch mechanical bull for a spin? We’ll be onhand to witness the shenanigans as they hit up the following stops: 3:50pm – Stop #1 / Pink’s Hot Dogs (709 North La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90038) 4:40pm – Stop #2 / Hollywood & Highland in front of the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre 5:20pm – Stop #3 / Saddle Ranch on Sunset Blvd (8371 Sunset Blvd. West Hollywood, CA 90069) Join us and follow along at @Movieline .

The last two films to win the Audience Award at the Toronto International Film Festival were Precious and Slumdog Millionaire , so do your best to feign surprise when 2010 winner The King’s Speech winds up on the list of Best Picture nominees next year. If recent history still has you unconvinced of The King’s Speech Oscar bona fides, however, the first trailer for the film will do its best to change your mind.
National Geographic has stepped into the Toronto movie-buying whirlwind , acquiring theatrical distribution rights to The First Grader , directed by Justin Chadwick ( The Other Boleyn Girl ). The film, which won runner-up for the audience award, tells the true story of an 84-year old former Mau Mau rebel in Kenya who fights to get the education he could never afford. The reaction to this one has been very positive. Word is that it’s even more sensitive and moving than Billy Madison . [ Deadline ]
Maybe it’s coincidence that Ezra Miller had two films premiere over the weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival, where City Island — his film currently playing in theaters — won the audience award in 2009. But it’s no accident, either. Since his 2008 screen debut in the harrowing prep-school drama Afterschool , the 17-year-old actor has built a reputation behind the scenes for fearlessness, intensity, comic chops, and holding his own against alpha-castmates like Andy Garcia, Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt. And coming soon: Tilda Swinton.
