Emmy Spotlight: Will Lea Michele Rob Toni Collette?

In today’s installment of our Emmy size-ups , Movieline inspects the heated and varied competition in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series category. Toni Collette may play Tara Gregson’s disassociating psyche with all the right blasts of exasperation and id, but can she outmatch the hungry Lea Michele, Edie Falco, and Amy Poehler? Time to rack up the odds.

The Emmy Nominees: Full of Glee [Beautiful Awards]

The 2010 Emmy nominees were announced this morning and they were full of old standards (Mariska Hargitay… again ) and surprises (a show on USA that isn’t Monk got a nomination!). Let’s take a look at the list, shall we? More

Emmy Nominees That We Can Only Dream Of [Beautiful Awards]

Emmy Award nominations will be announced tomorrow morning. They do a really crappy job of rewarding the best in television, so we thought we’d call out some great people who will never get nominated in a million years. More

Somewhere Trailer: It’s a Sofia Coppola Megamix!

The Somewhere trailer is out and I’m short on time (plus it’s not embeddable), so let’s make this brief: is this the ultimate Sofia Coppola movie or what? There’s a dreamy blond waif straight out of The Virgin Suicides , a past-his-prime actor living out his ennui in a hotel just like in Lost in Translation (and a wacky cultural side trip to Italy that may provide more region-specific humor in the vein of “Lip my stocking”), and the deliciously composed shots and decadence of Marie Antoinette . Does that sound like a negative, derivative appraisal? Quite the contrary: those things couldn’t make me more excited. Come out already! [ Apple ]

Can Someone Give Ted Danson a Hug?

When THR got a bunch of dramatic actors together last month for an Emmy roundtable, the trade noted that “humor dominated the hourlong discussion.” That’s a stark contrast to the comedy roundtable THR just put up, where TV funnymen like Jim Parsons, Neil Patrick Harris, and Ed Helms worry and excoriate themselves and get all “Tears of a Clown”-y. None self-flagellate harder, though, than Ted Danson.

REVIEW: Agora Strains to Keep Up With Its Own Staggering Vision

Handsome to look at and driven by a passionate — if not exactly precise — political sensibility, Agora is this spring’s highest-brow sandal epic, by an Egyptian cubit. Considering its competition is the lumpy Clash of the Titans and this week’s video game-inspired Prince of Persia , it’s an endorsement earned by a pretty wide margin of default. Director Alejandro Amenábar has chosen the story of Hypatia, a fourth century Greek mathematician, as the subject of his seventh film, and sets it in a marvelous recreation of ancient Alexandria. A dust-and-geometry biopic with blaring modern resonances is a risky move even for Amenábar, who has been drawn to challenges of genre (as with the understated horror picture The Others ) and topical material (his lyrical meditation on the right to die, The Sea Inside, ) over the course of his still-young career. Unfortunately the one expectation that can be attached to the director — a gift for elegant, involving stories and consistent, inventive filmmaking — is obscured by Agora ‘s tendency toward the blandly overwrought.

Chloë Sevigny Disses Big Love Writers Again, For Old Time’s Sake

With Katherine Heigl off Grey’s Anatomy for good, which actress will be brave enough to take up her very specific mantle of insulting her television show’s writers, apologizing, and then insulting them again? Consider this Chloë Sevigny’s very public audition. You may remember back in March, shortly after winning the Golden Globe for her work on Big Love , Sevigny told the AV Club, “It was awful this season, as far as I’m concerned.” The actress then recanted her dis to EW , saying, “If [the writers] said something about me, if they made a statement that they were disappointed in my work, I would feel awful.” Now, the cycle begins anew!

Jimmy Fallon To Host The Emmys

‘Late Night’ star has previously served as host for the MTV Video Music Awards and Movie Awards. By Rochell D. Thomas, with additional reporting by Jocelyn Vena Jimmy Fallon at the 2009 Emmy Awards Photo: Mathew Imaging/ WireImage Looks like “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon will be moving to prime time — at least for one night. The “Saturday Night Live” grad has been tapped to host the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, which will air live August 29 on NBC (8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT). According to the Los Angeles Times ‘ Gold Derby blog , Fallon reportedly won out over fellow “SNL”-er Amy Poehler, who now stars in NBC’s “Parks & Recreation.” It was also rumored that Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake were in the running, thanks to their “SNL” skits “Motherlover” and the Emmy-winning “Di– in a Box.” This will be Fallon’s fourth big hosting gig. The 35-year-old comedian, who’s been running his own late-night chuckfest since March 2009, hosted the 2001 and 2005 MTV Movie Awards and the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards. “Hosting the Emmys has been a dream of mine ever since they told me I was doing it,” Fallon joked Monday after top executives from NBC and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences made the Emmy announcement. Emmy nominations will be announced July 8. After Conan O’Brien’s controversial exit from NBC in January, Fallon made it clear which side he was on by taking his show’s house band, the Roots, over to Conan’s old NYC studio to pay tribute to his “Late Night” predecessor . Later, when the news broke that Conan had landed a show on TBS, Fallon told MTV News : “It’s great for everybody, great for Conan. I know he’s happy. … He’s a great, funny dude, and I can’t wait to see him.” Do you think Jimmy is a good choice for the Emmys host? Let us know in the comments!
