Following the crazy American Idol panel at Tuesday morning’s TCA event in Pasadena, Fox executives Kevin Reilly and Peter Rice took the stage and were immediately barraged with Lone Star cancellation-related questions from critics. For those believers out there, Reilly and Rice confirmed that the network is still looking for a home for the six unaired episodes they filmed last year. When another critic suggested that the media’s positive reviews of the Kyle Killen drama obviously did not mean anything to the network, the execs joked, “You said your reviews are meaningless. They’re really not. Except in this case.”

It felt a little strange to see Jon Stewart so uncharacteristically serious on Monday’s edition of The Daily Show , but he was reporting on the horrible Arizona shooting tragedy…with the help of a correspondent in adult pajamas. Elsewhere in late night, Donald Glover showed off his Tracy Morgan impression, David Letterman let Snooki promote her new book, Winona Ryder discussed her irrational fear of the internet, and Jay Leno did his best snake.

Disney’s been leading the charge on Toy Story 3 ‘s Best Picture gambit in recent weeks, arguing on behalf of its strong reviews (now, Golden Tomato-winning ), and large box office, but is it time for Oscar statisticians (e.g. the Movieline readership) to take up the fight too? It lacks the blunt-force topicality of The Social Network and the historical grandeur of The King’s Speech , but does Toy Story 3 ‘s expensive commercial triumph warrant a grassroots movement?

Remember all that talk about how True Grit was the new Best Picture front runner because of its muscular box office ($110 million and counting)? Yeah, perhaps not. Joel and Ethan Coen failed to received a nomination from the Directors Guild this morning, meaning True Grit ‘s road to winning Best Picture just hit a major bump in the road. Or it didn’t, since the Coens could still grab a Best Director nomination from the Academy at the end of this month. Otherwise, this list features your usual suspects. Click ahead for the nominees.

It seems James Cameron is saving his judge-y haymakers for bigger fish than just Piranha 3D . The King of the World told a German website that no film better embodies Hollywood’s creative bankruptcy than Universal’s two ka-billion dollar adaptation of Battleship . “We have a story crisis. Now they want to make the Battleship game into a film,” said Cameron to Spiegel . “This is pure desperation.” And how! Just wait until he finds out it co-stars Rihanna and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.

Sad news: The acclaimed British director and producer Peter Yates has passed away at 82 following “a long illness.” Yates is perhaps best-known for revolutionizing both car chases and Steve McQueen’s coolness in Bullitt , but his entire filmography is varied and remarkably consistent. It includes such titles as Year of the Comet , Breaking Away , The Robbery , Krull and possibly one of the best crime films ever, The Friends of Eddie Coyle . Check out the terrific trailer for this hard-hitting Robert Mitchum film after the jump. And just so Monday doesn’t start on a completely sad note, I’ve also included the one-minute “refund” clip from his Oscar-nominated Breaking Away , which is still one of the best cures for a long day that I’ve ever found.

Hollywood may be taking a bit of a break from quality this time of the year, but fortunately, we still get to play catch-up with great foreign films just making their way to the states. Case-in-point: the new trailer for Carancho , an Argentinian love-story/film-noir set in the world of insurance pay-outs for car accidents. The preview, which is violent, kinetic and sexy all at once, evokes shades of Amores Perros , Bringing Out the Dead and maybe even a little of David Chronenberg’s Crash . And then there’s the swaggering Argentinian rock song that ties it all together. You may want to watch this one twice.
