Good news and bad news this week from Movieline’s Institute For the Advanced Study of Kudos Forensics — the good news being that a handful of critics organizations and awards bodies have helped to draw the year’s noteworthiest (i.e. Oscar-baitiest) titles and talent of the season into their sharpest relief yet. The bad news: Sharp relief remains a total mess, with the fields in most major categories wide open heading into December. Which is the way we like it, right? Right? Ugh. To the Index…

“I think there’s a lot to be said for keeping your own counsel,” the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo lead opined in a recent interview when the subject of attention-craved stars came up. “You can’t buy your privacy back. Ooh, I want to be alone. F– you. We’ve been in your living room. We were at your birth. It is a career; I’m not being cynical. And why wouldn’t you? Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions… I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with, but now look at them. You see that and you think, ‘What, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f–ing idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions?’ I’m not judging it. Well, I am, obviously.” [ EW ]

Photoshoot homages are a dime a dozen at this point, and it’s hard to separate one starlet’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s tribute from any of the hundreds of others. That’s why Lady Gaga’s new cover shoot for Vanity Fair , in which she toasts My Fair Lady and Funny Girl , is so ideal: Unlike most celebrities, she can take iconic images, juxtapose them with her own persona, and make them mean something new. She’s not just aping Barbra Streisand’s pucker like Jennifer Aniston , she’s relating a muse to herself, and that’s impressive even in a bombastic Annie Leibovitz shoot like this one. It’s what really makes her the new Madonna, not sheer popularity. Photos after the jump.

If there’s one thing we still need to discuss, it’s the 2011 Oscars and how co-host James Franco bungled them up. (If you believe that, I have bunch of leftover Sarah Palin jokes I’d like to fly for you.) Fellow Freaks and Geeks alum Seth Rogen responded to a question regarding Mr. Franco, and he finally weighed in on the Oscars’ decision to hire young hosts. Specifically, he thinks the Academy screwed James Franco over.

For some moviegoers, Nicolas Winding Refn ‘s Drive was the movie of 2011 (ditto that soundtrack). Nevertheless, over at Nerve, Jett Wells echoes the sad realization of many a Drive -loving Oscar-watcher: Academy Award nominations are about as unlikely for the stylish crime pic as a clean getaway is for Ryan Gosling ‘s boyish, near-mute anti-hero.
