Twitter will burn! Michelle Obama Gives American Sniper High Praise Via USAToday Michelle Obama had high praise for American Sniper on Friday morning. Not from a critical standpoint, per se, but for the film’s complex portrayal of veteran Chris Kyle. The first lady was unveiling a program designed to recognize film and TV content that accurately portrays veterans and military families called 6 Certified, part of a national veteran campaign, Got Your 6, which is a military term meaning, “I’ve got your back.” She spoke following a panel discussion with American Sniper star Bradley Cooper and producers Bruce Cohen, Sarah Schechter, Lori McCreary and Stephanie Drachkovitz. Mrs. O., wearing an uncluttered black dress, called on content creators to “change the conversation about our veterans and military families” by giving “the full story.” She cited American Sniper as an example of a successful film that has done just that. “Look at the latest box office numbers. The No. 1 movie in America right now is a complex emotional depiction of a veteran and his family,” she said.” “I had a chance to see American Sniper this week, on that long flight.” This caused the crowd at the National Geographic Society auditorium to chuckle at her reference to traveling to Saudi Arabia. “I know there have been critics,” said Mrs. Obama of Sniper. “But more often than not, this film touches on many of the emotions and experiences I have heard first-hand from military families over these past few years. This movie reflects those wrenching stories I’ve heard, the complex journeys that our men and women in uniform endure, the complicated world, the decisions they are tasked with every day, the stresses of balancing love of family with love of country, and the challenges of transitioning back home.” She went on to say, “Here’s why a movie like this is important: The vast majority of Americans will have never seen these stories or grasp these issues, without portrayals like this.” Films and TV are often the “best way we have” to share them, she said.

They made us never want to attend any of Jonah Hill’s pool parties. They referred to Matt Damon as a “garbage person.” And they hilariously slammed George Clooney’s love life. Yes, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler totally owned the Golden Globe Awards for the second consecutive year. Relive their top monologue zingers below: Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Golden Globes Monologue Amy Poehler: “Matt Damon is here for Behind the Candelabra. Matt, on any other night in another room, you would be a big deal. But tonight, and don’t take this the wrong way, you’re basically a garbage person.” Tina Fey: “Bradley Cooper is here, star of American Hustle. Interesting trivia: The original title of that movie was Explosion at the Wig Factory.” Tina Fey: “Matthew McConaughey is here. For his role in Dallas Buyers Club, he lost 45 pounds, or what actresses call ‘being in a movie.’” Amy Poehler: “The Wolf of Wall Street is a big nominee tonight. I really love the film, but some of it was too graphic. I mean, if I wanted to see Jonah Hill masturbate at a pool party, I’d go to one of Jonah Hill’s pool parties.” Amy Poehler: “Masters of Sex is the degree I got from Boston College.” And the best of all: Tina Fey: “Gravity is nominated for best film. It’s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age.” Grade the monolgue now: A B C D F View Poll »

Bradley Cooper is quickly turning into one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood, with a very wide range. After recently leaving the production of Jane Got a Gun, it has been announced that Cooper will star in Steven Spielberg’s next film American Sniper . American Sniper is based on the autobiography of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle , which chronicles his life in the armed services and the emotional toll it took on his wife.
