Directors Guild Award Shocker: Tom Hooper Wins For The King’s Speech

Posted on January 30, 2011 by | Leave a comment

And just like that, we’ve got a new front-runner. After previously notching an unexpected win at the Producers Guild Award, The King’s Speech continued on its guild rampage, with first-time nominee Tom Hooper winning Best Feature Film Director last night, leaving previous favorite David Fincher with nothing. And as you will hear ad nauseum today, only six times in the past has the DGA Award winner not won the Academy Award for Best Director, most recently in 2002 when Rob Marshall won for Chicago , but Roman Polanski went on to win the Oscar for The Pianist . Will The King’s Speech make it a guild hat trick and win big tonight at the Screen Actors Guild Awards? Full list of winners after the break. [ Deadline ]

9 Lessons Learned From Lifetime’s The Craigslist Killer

Posted on January 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The Lifetime Network — otherwise known as the guilty pleasure center of your cable package — premiered The Craigslist Killer on Monday, its highly-publicized docudrama about the good-looking Boston medical student convicted of murdering masseuses he found on the Internet. Like any good Lifetime film, Killer included a romance, the poorly-acted betrayal of a pretty blond heroine who could not pick up a clue with a forklift, and the subtext that all men — especially the good-looking ones you don’t suspect — are evil. Ahead, I sift through the discarded Kleenex and chocolate wrappers to uncover nine lessons learned from the film.

Round up the usual suspects: The Social Network , The Fighter , Black Swan , The Kids Are All Right , 127 Hours , True Grit , Inception and The Town all scored nominations (it looks like Ben Affleck’s film is steamrolling toward the Kodak Theater). So, too, did Please Give and I Love You Phillip Morris , two surprise nominees helped out by the fact that many favorites, including The King’s Speech and Toy Story 3 , were deemed ineligible because of rule violations. Womp womp. Click ahead for the full list.

Posted on January 4, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Well, almost all of them. For those keeping score at home, the only film not nominated by the Producers Guild that’s also on the list of Best Picture candidates over at the Movieline Oscar Index was Winter’s Bone ; the beloved indie failed to make the cut, replaced instead by Ben Affleck’s The Town . Otherwise, status quo: The Social Network , The King’s Speech , The Fighter , Black Swan , The Kids Are All Right , Inception , Toy Story 3 , 127 Hours and True Grit all received nominations from the PGA, meaning they’re one step closer to fulfilling their predicted Oscar glory. Click ahead for the full list of Producers Guild nominees.

Ryan Kwanten to Taylor Swift: Come to True Blood!

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

In a recent interview with Hollywoodlife.com, Ryan Kwanten made one thing clear: He’s more than just a ridiculously attractive body . The True Blood star also has a good head on those broad shoulders. When asked at the Producers Guild Awards about Taylor Swift possibly appearing on the HBO hit, Kwanten replied : “I’d like Taylor [to guest star on True Blood ]. That’d be kind of cool… I get the feeling that she likes to break down boundarie. She set a bunch of records, so why not get into the acting world and see if she can’t tackle that, too?” Swift, of course, is already doing so, as she’s one of 97 stars appearing in Valentine’s Day. But we think she’d fit in perfectly on True Blood , don’t you? She could be a vampire and pretend each of her prey is Kanye West.
