Greta Gerwig on Girl Crushes, Movie Sex, and Going Mainstream

Last year’s Greenberg may have marked Greta Gerwig’s entrance into mainstream cinema — when you come from the world of making nano-budgeted improvised films with your friends, a Noah Baumbach project is a big film – but 2011 will be the year the indie darling truly goes Hollywood. In this week’s friends-with-benefits comedy No Strings Attached , Gerwig stands out as Natalie Portman’s level-headed BFF ; in April, she’ll play the object of Russell Brand’s affections in Arthur . And next month, she’ll vie for her first major acting award at the Spirit Awards, nominated (opposite No Strings Attached co-star Portman) for her work as a winsome Los Angeleno in Greenberg .

This spring, Friday Night Lights star Zach Gilford attempts to leave behind his beloved character Matt Saracen — the shy former quarterback of the Dillon Panthers — for an outdoorsy doctor on Shonda Rhimes’ latest ABC medical drama, Off the Map . Will the Northwestern grad be able to endear himself to an entirely new audience, and adjust to life away from the bubble the Chicago-born adventure enthusiast has grown comfortable in during the last five seasons on FNL ?

Glee’s Heather Morris on Her Viral Rap Video, Sofia Vergara and Her Lesbian Make Out Scene

The second season of Glee has been an important one for Heather Morris. The actress — who portrays Brittany, the ditzy New Directions member who believes that Dr. Pepper is a dentist — became an official series regular, made her singing debut (in her character’s titular episode), out-danced Britney Spears and established herself as the most reliably funny actor on the Emmy-nominated series. Knowing all of this, Movieline made a point to track down the Arizona-raised back-up-dancer-turned-actress at Tuesday night’s Fox TCA Press Party to ask the break-out triple talent about her hilarious viral rap video , the possibility of a lesbian relationship on the show and her character’s patented one-liners.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Hopes His Hesher Co-Star Wins an Oscar

Count Joseph Gordon-Levitt among the ” ignorant, faithless and over-cultured ” who loved Black Swan . “Perfect mad brilliance,” Levitt wrote on Twitter about Darren Aronofsky’s film. “Beauty is bliss; death delusion.” Um, spoiler alert, Joe? Of course here’s where the cynical part of you remembers that JoGo co-stars with Natalie Portman in the on-the-shelf 2010 Sundance film Hesher , and that an Oscar-winner attached to the indie film will make it a lot easier to market once it gets released. Synergy! [ @hitRECordJoe ]

Guy Pearce on The King’s Speech, Animal Kingdom and Christopher Nolan’s Shy Years

Guy Pearce wouldn’t mind not being in an Oscar-winning film for a change. Not to say that he’s not fully behind The King’s Speech (or even the dark horse Animal Kingdom ), but considering that his work in those films involve limited screen time — not unlike his role in last year’s Best Picture-winning The Hurt Locker — “good-luck cameo” isn’t a role Pearce necessarily wants to get used to.

Sure, her career has spanned over 30 years — and Another Year is her sixth film with Academy Award nominated director Mike Leigh — but, as Manville points out, no other performance of hers has ever generated this much buzz in the United States during awards season.
