Awards, Awards, Awards: Critics Choice Blacks Out, NY Critics Weighing In

Posted on December 13, 2010 by | Comments Off on Awards, Awards, Awards: Critics Choice Blacks Out, NY Critics Weighing In

Awards! So many awards. What will we do with all these awards? Awards everywhere! Awards in your refrigerator, awards in your morning coffee. Awards clogging the 405 and the Holland Tunnel. Sarah Palin shot and killed an award last night on TV. The Metrodome roof didn’t collapse under the weight of snow, as you’ve heard; it was actually from a storm that dumped 17 inches of awards on Minneapolis. And now look: More awards!

Elsewhere, The Social Network cleaned house with awards for Best Film, Director, Actor (Jesse Eisenberg) and Adapted Screenplay. Click ahead for the full list of winners — and note that 127 Hours , Black Swan and The Kids Are All Right were all snubbed. Did the Board not get those screeners?

Ben Mendelsohn on Animal Kingdom, Crafting a Monster, and the Upside of Tension

Posted on August 18, 2010 by | Leave a comment

There are bad guys, and there are bad . Guys. Veteran Australian actor Ben Mendelsohn plays the latter in Animal Kingdom , the Sundance-winning, Melbourne-set crime drama currently wowing moviegoers in limited release. Much of that reaction has focused on the quality of the film’s evil double-headed, awards-worthy hydra, with the terrific Jacki Weaver smiling and snarling on one side and Mendelsohn — as bipolar (or monopolar, really) robber ganglord Arthur “Pope” Cody — on the other. As Mendelsohn candidly and readily admits, it was not a beast you wanted to mess before or during the grueling Kingdom shoot.

‘Jacki Weaver Superstar’: One Actress’s 48-Year Journey to the Role of a Lifetime (and Maybe an Oscar)

Posted on August 13, 2010 by | Leave a comment

“Do you know the Myers-Briggs Test?” It’s Tuesday morning in Manhattan, and Jacki Weaver awaits an answer. The actress doesn’t have all day. She’s on a 36-hour stopover here promoting her new film Animal Kingdom — Weaver’s first theatrical feature in 13 years, and quite possibly the movie that will earn the stage/screen/television veteran of nearly a half-century an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, if not the trophy itself. Which is where the Myers-Briggs Test comes in. I ask her to explain.

Is This What Glee’s Radio Silence Feels Like?

Posted on August 11, 2010 by | Leave a comment

“I think people are sick of me, I really do,” Glee executive producer Ryan Murphy told Vulture last week. “I think people are like, ‘Shut the f**k up!’ Even I feel sick of me…I talked to Fox and we talked to the kids and we said, ‘Let’s just go underground for three months. Let’s stop talking about [the show].’ It’s been a concerted effort of mine to give it a breather.” Amen. But have you heard about the Glee plans for Britney Spears , Justin Bieber, Prince, The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson? Because a still-chatty Murphy is happy to tell you.

REVIEW: Character Flaws Can’t Derail Stylish, Shocking Animal Kingdom

Posted on August 11, 2010 by | Leave a comment

A woman well past a certain age, Smurf (Jacki Weaver), is constantly marking her grown children, like territory. Bleached and primped beyond the limits of dignity, she demands kisses from her sons, lingering and cooing over their lips; a thumb wet with saliva seems always at the ready, poised to erase a cheek smudge here, to smooth a strand of hair there.
