Spirit of the Festival: Tribeca Audiences Crown Their Favorite

What do a kufi hat-wearing James Cromwell, Jeffrey Wells and thousands of Heineken bottles have in common? They were all present at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival Awards Wrap Party last night. And while the name of the event was a bit misleading — the main Tribeca awards were announced Thursday — there was one piece of hardware handed out: the Heineken sponsored audience award, which went to the rock documentary Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage . Because if there’s one thing everyone knows about New Yorkers, it’s their fierce love of prog rock. After the jump, the top-ten audiences choices — congrats to all the winners.

Festival Juror Jessica Alba Fails to Burn Down Tribeca

A girl’s gotta do what a girl’s gotta do to get attention down at the Tribeca Film Festival. Jessica Alba thought she’d taken care of business with her recent festival jury appointment , only to see her Killer Inside Me co-star Kate Hudson upstage her with a rumored (and highly secretive, for some reason) boob job.

Defiant Joan Rivers Bashes Late-Night Hosts, Insists She is ‘Blackballed’

Joan Rivers hasn’t made much of a secret about her hatred for NBC, from which she says she was banned 25 years ago after striking her doomed late-night hosting deal with Fox. Save for her triumphant return to the network on Celebrity Apprentice , she has been virtually off its air since the Carson era. Furthermore, she told an audience Monday at the Tribeca Film Festival, she’s a late-night pariah across the board. As you can imagine, she wasn’t happy about it.

How Totally Random are This Year’s Tribeca Film Festival Juries?

Answer: Pretty totally random! Tribeca today sent over a release announcing 35 jurors for its 2010 festival, ranging from Oscar winners to a Twitter co-founder to a State Department member to Jessica Alba, Zach Braff Aaron Eckhart, and Alicia Keys — in no particular order, and not quite where you’d likely expect them to show up. It hardly seems right that they’d snub Movieline’s distinguished staff on our birthday , but there’s always next year. Speaking for myself, I’d give up a chair for Brooke Shields or America Ferrera any day. The rest, though… you really must see it to believe it.
