If The King’s Speech Gets Re-Edited To A PG-13, It Doesn’t Deserve The Oscar

The King’s Speech is riding high on guild love after its surprise win for Best Picture at the PGA Awards and Best Director for Tom Hooper at the DGA Awards; it may yet complete the trifecta tonight at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. At this point, it has to be considered the new odds-on favorite for Best Picture at this year’s Academy Awards. But if Harvey Weinstein follows through on his plan to re-cut the film for a more profitable rating, then, frankly, it doesn’t deserve a damned thing.

Oscar Index: Social Network, King’s Speech Resume Steel-Cage Death Match

So you’ve probably heard about yesterday’s Academy Award nominations . Pretty interesting, if you’re into that kind of thing. And really, who isn’t? More importantly, who isn’t into Movieline’s Oscar Index, which went a respectable 30 for 35 in its inaugural attempt to narrow down this year’s nods to a science?

Michael Shannon, Jessica Chastain Nab First Sundance Deal

So you might have heard Sundance gets underway this week, but Sony Pictures Classics isn’t wasting any time on the acquisitions front: The distributor has picked up the Michael Shannon/Jessica Chastain psychological thriller Take Shelter , which premieres in competition Jan. 24. CAA — which represents virtually the entire principal cast as well as writer-director Jeff Nichols — sealed the deal with two days to spare before the fest’s opening night. And thus it falls off Movieline’s annual bidding-war forecast, also coming soon. Congrats to all.

J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets: The Weinstein Brothers Have Their Priorities Straight

Tensions were running high at Movieline HQ in the lead up to our Golden Globes liveblog on Sunday night , because there stood a chance that the NFL playoff game between the New York Jets and New England Patriots might run past 8 p.m. on the East Coast. Naturally, we planned to flip over the Globes (or at least that’s what we told everyone), but it appears Harvey and Bob Weinstein had a different idea.

Narnia Studio Chief: If Dawn Treader Fails, Franchise is Dead

Success is subjective in Hollywood, especially with franchises. But with his Chronicles of Narnia franchise on now on its second distributor in three films, Walden Media president Michael Flaherty confessed he’s all in with this weekend’s Voyage of the Dawn Treader . At least he’s got a sense of humor about it: “There have been a number of cheesy nautical references throughout the production of VDT, but we truly are sunk in making any more films from the Chronicles if this one falls short of expectations.” Also: No , Aslan isn’t a Buddha or Mohammed figure . As you were. [ Big Hollywood ]

Ryan Gosling on Blue Valentine, Bleeding Nipples and No Longer Being a Pornographer

The Blue Valentine awards show freight train pulled into the Kips Bay AMC in New York City on Thursday night and the perpetually stoic stars of the film, Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, got downright hysterical. In the span of just ten minutes the prettier-than-thou duo were retelling stories of nipple bleeding, the recent overturn of their film’s controversial rating and the rumored trysts of Marilyn Monroe. Are these two joking their way to (deserved) Oscar nominations?

Oscar Season Defined in 80 Words

” Word is [Natalie Portman]’s giving a pretty swell performance Still, if it is a swell performance and it doesn’t win her the Oscar for which she is now the alleged favorite, we’ll look back on this day and think, ‘How sad–it looked as if she had a shot,’ and hope she can pick herself up and get it together to give another Oscar-worthy performance because this one will have gone down as a disappointment and she will be a loooooooooser .” Please blog more, David Edelstein !
