Last year at this time, Will Forte had just wrapped his eighth season on Saturday Night Live and completed an exhausting round of promotion for MacGruber — the film based on Forte’s popular SNL character. Within a month, beleaguered by bad box office, MacGruber was entirely out of theaters. Then, in August, came the surprise announcement that Forte had decided not to return for his ninth season of Saturday Night Live .

For a while now, Sarah Palin has been the X-factor in the quest for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012. The former Alaska governor has a few hurdles to clear before officially declaring her candidacy — not the least of which is her abdication of her office in 2009 with more than a year left in her term, which raised concerns in the GOP about her ability to lead and/or follow through. But! That’s nothing a pro-Palin documentary — made with her cooperation and debuting next month — shouldn’t be able to fix.

In this age of director-as-personality — witness Todd Phillips’ hilariously brash interview tactics as the most recent example of this phenomenon — it’s rare that a blockbuster hits theaters with someone anonymous behind the camera. Which is what makes the release of Kung Fu Panda 2 so extraordinaire. Despite being the sequel to one of the bigger animations hits of the last five years, precious little has been written about its director, Jennifer Yuh Nelson. Though that might have more to do with her gender than anything else.

If you have any plans for 22 months from now — cancel them! That’s because Disney has announced that Oz: The Great and Powerful will hit theaters on March 8, 2013, opposite Neill Blomkamp’s Elysium with Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. (Nothing like planning in advance.) James Franco and Mila Kunis will co-star for director Sam Raimi, while Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz are in talks for other roles. Production is set to begin this July. [ Deadline ]

Last year at this time, Hailee Steinfeld was just finishing work on her first feature film — Joel and Ethan Coen’s magnificent True Grit — and was unknowingly enjoying her last few months of anonymity. Since the film’s December release, the one-time Kmart commercial star has been on a nonstop red carpet tour from the Oscars to the BAFTA s to last week’s Young Hollywood Awards , where Movieline played a lightning round of My Favorite Scene with the poised 14-year-old actress.

Has awards season become a tad repetitive for your tastes? Sure, the recent surge by The King’s Speech over The Social Network is exciting, I suppose, but at this point how many awards can we see Natalie Portman and Colin Firth win against basically the same competition before we all collectively throw up our hands and say, “OK, we get it. Can we just move on to the Oscars now? Or at least try something different ?” Here’s an idea: What if every single awards ceremony were important?

Zhang Ziyi’s new movie Mulan, the Legend of a Woman Warrior ( Jin Guo Ying Xiong ) may be based on a sixth-century Chinese folk story, but the poster would lead you to believe it originated in 1998 alongside a dragon played by Eddie Murphy. Since I want this movie to be great (and since Speed director Jan de Bont will direct an English-language version), let’s take a look at this poster and point out some strange likenesses.
