‘Smash’ Vs. ‘Glee’: Katharine McPhee Breaks It Down

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘We’re just actually really grateful that ‘Glee’ has opened the door,’ former American Idol says of her upcoming musical series. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Katharine McPhee at the Golden Globes on Sunday Photo: Jeff Vespa/ WireImage During the Golden Globes on Sunday night (January 15), there was one promo that played nearly on a loop. The commercial for NBC’s new music-themed prime-time drama, “Smash,” seemed to play almost as much as the show itself, which featured funny barbs from host Ricky Gervais , an equally funny response from Golden Globe-winner Madonna and a big win for “The Descendants,” which took home Best Motion Picture – Drama . Before the Golden Globes kicked off, MTV News caught up with “Smash” leading lady and former American Idol Katharine McPhee on the red carpet. She happily explained how there’s really no competition between her forthcoming show and that other singing show on Fox, “Glee.” “You know, we’re so secluded from L.A., where they’re shooting ‘Glee,’ and we haven’t had any interaction. No one’s had any sort of conversations. We’re just actually really grateful that ‘Glee’ has opened the door,” she said. “And has made music work on television.” In teases for the show, McPhee is seen covering Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful,” and when we caught up with her, she told us that later on in the season there will be a Rihanna cover. McPhee even went on to share what famed actors and singers will also appear on the highly anticipated show. “Well, we have Uma Thurman, who’s not a pop star but a movie star. She’s actually shooting with us already,” she said. “[One Republic frontman] Ryan Tedder is a guest star. So he’s a pop star and an amazing writer. Oh god, and Nick Jonas . We’re doing pretty good for the first season.” “Smash,” also starring Debra Messing and Anjelica Huston and produced by Steven Spielberg, premieres February 6. The show follows the behind-the-scenes staging of a Broadway show about Marilyn Monroe, who is certainly in the zeitgeist nowadays as Michelle Williams just nabbed a Golden Globe for her portrayal of the Hollywood icon in “My Week With Marilyn.” Stick with MTV News all night for the 2012 Golden Globes winners, and don’t miss all the fashion from the Golden Globes red carpet !

Smaug In ‘The Hobbit’ Will Be ‘Extraordinary’

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

‘It’s still a very secret character that is very closely safeguarded, and it’s still in the design process,’ Andy Serkis says at Golden Globes. By Kevin P. Sullivan, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Andy Serkis at the 2012 Golden Globes Photo: Getty Images Motion-capture wizard Andy Serkis took some time off from filming “The Hobbit” to hit the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globes , but it seems like he left all of his precious Middle-earth secrets back in New Zealand. When Serkis took some time to chat with MTV News’ Josh Horowitz, he refused to give any clue what the legendary dragon Smaug might look like on the big screen. “I can’t give any secrets away, none of those trade secrets,” Serkis said. “I can’t say that because actually it’s still under wraps.” In “The Hobbit,” Serkis reprises the role that made him a capture-performance all-star: Gollum. Additionally, he will step behind the camera as the director of the films’ second unit. An iconic character in J.R.R. Tolkien’s mythological world, Smaug is the impetus for all of the action in Peter Jackson’s upcoming “Lord of the Rings” prequel, “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” Such a revered character is bound to come with a high level of security. Serkis suggested that there might be more to his own secrecy than just avoiding spoilers. According to the actor, Weta Workshop is still working on the creature’s look. “It’s still a very secret character that is very closely safeguarded, and it’s still in the design process,” he said. The little we do know about Smaug is more than enough to get us excited. Benedict Cumberbatch will voice Smaug in “The Hobbit” before going where no man has gone before as the villain in J.J. Abrams’ next “Star Trek.” Serkis said that with Cumberbatch as Smaug, audiences certainly have something to look forward to. “With an actor like Benedict Cumberbatch playing him, it will be extraordinary,” he said. Check out everything we’ve got on “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Tinseltown’s most titillatingly named awards show was held in Los Angeles last night, and while the Globes were dominated this year by non-nude flicks like The Descendants and The Artist , ’twas not all covered on the awards-show front.

Talk about Holly-WOOD! Plus, Nudity Hall-of-Famer Michelle Williams picked up a Globe for her perv-formance as Marilyn Monroe in My Week with Marilyn , as did her fellow Hall-of-Famer Kate Winslet for Mildred Pierce .

Golden Globes 2012 Fashion: Red Carpet Roundup

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Reese Witherspoon, Charlize Theron and Nicole Richie shine. By Christina Garibaldi, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Reese Witherspoon attends the 2012 Golden Globes Photo: Getty Images On Sunday night, the hottest celebrities in Hollywood gathered for the 2012 Golden Globes to celebrate one of the biggest nights in movies, television, and, of course, fashion. The stars shone bright on the red carpet, showing off gorgeous mermaid-style gowns, plunging necklines and sparkling headbands . Yet, it wasn’t all about bright colors: The big trend for the night was nude-hued gowns , worn by everyone from Jessica Biel and Heidi Klum to “Modern Family” actress Sarah Hyland. “This one is really different,” Hyland told MTV News of her beige lace Dolce & Gabbana gown. “I never really wore lace before so I feel very feminine in it. It’s very vintage-y, classy, and I like that.” While Hyland’s dress was covered in lace, first-time attendee and Best Supporting Actress nominee for “The Help,” Jessica Chastain decided to adorn herself from head to toe in pearls. “It was love at first sight with this dress,” Chastain said of her white Givenchy gown. “This is my first Golden Globes. There’s something very pure about this dress. I’m a very pure girl.” Looking radiant in a silver Julien Macdonald gown was Nicole Richie, who finished off her look with her very own House of Harlow bag. “I thought she looked amazing,” Celebuzz producer Rachel Maresca told MTV News. “We haven’t seen her on a red carpet in a long time, and she came out wowing everybody. She’s in Julien Macdonald with a fully beaded dress. She said it was little bit heavy, but she looked very comfortable in it, and she’s rocking a House of Harlow, her own designed bag.” A-list actresses flooded the red carpet, including Angelina Jolie in a draped ivory Atelier Versace gown with red accents, Charlize Theron in a pink Dior Couture gown complete with high slit and Cartier headband, and Emma Stone in a purple and red accent Lanvin gown with a plunging neckline. Yet, it was a lady in red that might have stolen the show: Reese Witherspoon dazzled in a tight-fitted scarlet Zac Posen dress with a sweetheart neckline, deciding to keep the rest of her look laidback with wavy hair. “Her hair for me looked ‘gorgeous without trying’ type of look,” Maresca said. “The dress was made for her; it looks great.” Who do you think was the best dressed at the Golden Globes?

What The Golden Globes Tell Us About The Oscars

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Some unexpected wins at the Golden Globes change the race leading up to next month’s Academy Awards. By Kevin P. Sullivan Michelle Williams at the 2012 Golden Globes Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Most people will tell you that they only care about the Golden Globes because of what the list of winners says about the Oscars. While the Globes aren’t historically the best predictors of Academy Award winners, they do often give a signal of where things are, heading into Oscar night. This year was no different, but don’t expect people to be erasing their picks from their Oscar ballot just yet. Here is what this year’s Golden Globe winners tell us about the Oscars. Sorry, Brad This year’s awards season has been marked by a lack of front-runners in most categories. Even with the dozens of critic organizations that have already awarded their year-end prizes, going into Globes night, no one performance or film stood out as the one to beat. (The closest one to a sure bet is Christopher Plumber for “The Beginners.”) Until Sunday, three men could have realistically been considered favorites for Best Actor: Brad Pitt , Jean Dujardin and George Clooney. Since “The Artist” skated by on a questionable comedy categorization, both Dujardin and Clooney took home Golden Globe statues and landed themselves at the front of the Oscar pack. This is essentially the end of Pitt’s Oscar run this year. Best Actress Award Is Up for Grabs Most analysts had considered Viola Davis the clear favorite to win Best Actress, but her loss Sunday night to the reigning queen of award shows Meryl Streep signals a change in the tide. The two actresses were neck and neck for the category, but lukewarm to negative reviews for “The Iron Lady” began to hurt Streep’s chances just weeks before award season got into full swing. Since “The Help” was generally considered a better film, Davis got the vote of confidence from many over the often-nominated Streep. Though she had been considered one of the favorites going into the Golden Globes, Streep’s victory is somewhat of an upset and proof positive that the Best Actress race is far from decided. “The Descendants” vs. “The Artist” These are the two films that have fought again and again for Best Picture awards for the past weeks, but the Globes did not offer any great insight for the Oscars. “The Descendants” and “The Artist” both took home the Best Picture award for their respective categories, despite the latter actually being a drama. The only thing we know for sure now is that these are the two films vying for Best Picture, with the “The Artist” maintaining a definite lead. Many considered “Hugo” a contender, and Martin Scorsese’s win for Best Director gives some validity to those claims, but for all intents and purposes, any film that isn’t “The Artist,” “The Descendants” or “Hugo” should throw in the towel now.

George Clooney And Brad Pitt: A Golden Globes Bromance

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brad Pitt at the 2012 Golden Globes Photo: Getty Images The mutual love between George Clooney and his “Ocean’s Eleven” co-star Brad Pitt is anything but new. But on Sunday night (January 15), their love was on full-display as the pals put on some major emotional PDA for Golden Globe viewers. In pop culture, three’s a trend, and if that’s the case, consider the Pitt/Clooney bromance incredibly trendy. Walking out with a cane, an obvious friendly jab at Pitt’s current use of a cane, Clooney brought the first bromantic moment when he presented the video package paying homage to his friend’s Golden Globe-nominated film, “Moneyball.” “I have to give it back to him or he can’t make it to the bar otherwise,” Clooney said of the cane. “It’s been called a baseball movie that’s not a baseball movie because it transcends the sport. This a David and Goliath story of a general manager, his assistant and a failing Oakland A’s team who takes on powerhouse teams like the New York Yankees. It’s a movie about turning conventional wisdom on its head. And it’s nominated for four Golden Globes, including ones for Jonah Hill and some up-and-comer named Brad Pitt.” Pitt then showed Clooney some love back when he hit the stage to present the package for the Clooney-directed “The Ides of March.” “Young, idealistic campaign workers and dirty politics are the focus of a movie that shows how the desire for power can corrupt anyone in the political process,” he said. “Ryan Gosling is nominated tonight for acting and co-star George Clooney received Golden Globes nominations for his writing and directing of the film.” The final shout-out of the night came when Clooney won for Best Actor — Drama for his work in “The Descendants,” beating out Pitt. While Pitt may not have won, his presence was felt on the stage. “Wow, well, that’s the funny thing about evenings like this. You get the chance to catch up with old friends and see people that you haven’t seen in a long time,” he said before diving into the compliments for Pitt. “I wanted to say it’s nice to see Brad and it’s nice to be able to tell him not just what wonderful work he’s doing in two films this year, but also what wonderful work he does in the world to the rest of the people. I’m a fan,” he added, before also praising “Shame” star Michael Fassbender for his own talents in the frontal-nudity department. In the weeks leading up to the show, Clooney was poised for many a “death match” at the onslaught of awards season.

‘Homeland’ Wins Golden Globe For Best TV Drama

Posted on January 16, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

New Showtime series beat out fan favorites ‘Game of Thrones,’ ‘Boardwalk Empire.’ By Terri Schwartz Claire Danes at the 2012 Golden Globe Awards Photo: Jason Merritt/ Getty Images There was a new collection of faces in the nominee pool for best dramatic TV series at the 69th annual Golden Globes . With the exception of “Boardwalk Empire,” which won the Globe in this category last year, all of the contenders were newcomers. There were the dragons and other medieval intrigue of “Game of Thrones” and the ghosts of “American Horror Story,” but Showtime’s thriller “Homeland” ended up being the show that took home the award. Creators Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon took to the stage to thank virtually everyone involved in the making of “Homeland.” They both credited everyone from the show’s stars, Claire Danes and Damian Lewis, to the writing and directing crew for making this one of the most critically acclaimed new shows of the season. “I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to be standing here on behalf of all the talented people that helped to make this show,” Gansa said during his acceptance speech. Gordon added, “I want to thank everyone who watches and enjoys this show because it makes this very special for us to do.” The new Showtime series follows a CIA agent (Danes) who comes to believe that a Marine (Lewis) who had been held captive by al-Qaeda as a prisoner of war has actually been turned by the enemy and now threatens the United States. Everyone else, however, considers the Marine to be a war hero. The CIA agent must turn to a fellow operative to investigate the Marine and prevent another attack on American soil. The series is based on the Israeli TV show “Hatufim.” “Homeland” beat out fan favorites “Game of Thrones” and “Boardwalk Empire,” as well as the critically acclaimed “Boss” and “American Horror Story.” This is its first Golden Globe win of the night. Stars Lewis and Danes are also nominated for Best Actor and Actress, respectively.
