The couple, in New York for the 30th Anniversary Princess Grace Awards Gala hosted by the Princess Grace Foundation-USA and Dom Perignon at Cipriani 42nd Street, mingled with celebs, including Oscar winner Geena Davis and TV personality Paula Zahn. Prince Albert of Monaco and his statuesque bride, Princess Charlene, brought a dash of royal glamour to our shores Monday night.

With relations between the sexes having recently hit a dispiriting cultural low (news avoiders may consult Time Magazine’s helpful round-up ” Are Women People ?” for cringe-inducing details), now is as good a time as any to ask and perhaps answer the burning question, “Why don’t women narrate movie trailers?” Conveniently, the BBC is here to offer some insights. It all sounds like a bunch of chauvinist shit-shoveling to me, but your mileage may vary. All I know is that newly, criminally deposed NYC news anchor Sue Simmons could turn this trend around in about a week flat with the right agent. Let’s go, Sue!

I have no idea how this concept eluded me for two years, but there it is: The 3rd annual 20/20 Awards were announced recently, honoring the best films of 1991 after two decades worth of distance and hindsight. Great idea — even though the event turned out just about as anticlimactically as this year’s real thing. That’s what happens when Oscar apparently gets it right. To wit, the Silence of the Lambs once again swept the major categories of Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Screenplay (Adapted), claiming five “Felixes” on the night and leading the way among an unprecedented eight “Odd Couples” to win both Oscars and Felixes. (HA! Cute.) Alas, ’91 Supporting Actor Jack Palance and Supporting Actress Mercedes Ruehl were overthrown by John Goodman ( Barton Fink ) and Geena Davis ( Thelma & Louise ). Find the full list of winners below. Congrats to all!

“Originally, Michael Douglas was supposed to star in [the movie]. And he walked away. At that point I was left there with my then-wife, Geena Davis and myself, and a company that was already belly-up. We begged to be let go. We begged that we didn’t have to make this movie.” In fact, the couple was so frightened that they sunk their own money into a last-ditch script rewrite. “We felt that a pirate movie with a female lead was suicidal, but we were contractually obligated. I personally spent a million dollars of my own money, I hired Mark Norman, who had won an Oscar for writing Shakespeare in Love .” Even so, Cutthroat Island turned out to be one of the biggest box office disasters of all time and sunk Carolco production company.

This is one where it’s probably just to do a quick intro and get out of the way: To commemorate the 20th anniversary of their post-feminist partners-in-crime road trip Thelma and Louise , co-stars Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis dropped by Toronto’s shimmering Bell Lightbox for a special screening and discussion with Toronto International Film Festival honcho Noah Cowan. The fest’s YouTube page put just about 100 seconds of the Oscar winners’ chat online; here’s hoping for there is more where that came from. Check it out:
