Another year, another… oh, couple hundred interviews in the books for the staff at Movieline HQ. It’s next to impossible to whittle this towering stack down to a manageable year-end review, but read on for a reasonable cross-section of the best, smartest, funniest and/or most candid moments from our magnanimous guests of 2010.

Nicole Kidman didn’t have to search far to find a visceral connection to the character she plays in Rabbit Hole , a woman rendered utterly devastated by the accidental death of her young child. She had given birth to daughter Sunday Rose while the film was being developed from David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play and knew the timing was right precisely because of how much the material scared her.

While this summer’s big-budget adaptation of the ’80s TV hit The A-Team (out this week from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment) may not have been the franchise tentpole its studio hoped to get for the money it spent, the action extravaganza did confirm the star quality of Sharlto Copley , who first turned up on our pop culture radars after his starring role in the 2009 Best Picture nominee District 9 .

Last week I met actor Jesse Eisenberg for a lengthy discussion of subjects ranging from his coming-of-age in the New York theater to his beloved Zombieland and his awards-season prospects for The Social Network. We covered a lot of ground, which I’ll be retracing this week in a five-part series here at Movieline. And so we arrive, sadly, at the end of our five-part journey with Jesse Eisenberg. By the time the actor and I reached this point, the done-to-death The Social Network had given way to… well, quite a few subjects. Let’s just say that in this last installment of our bar-side conversation, it’s a movie-reference blowout: The Godfather , Jurassic Park , all six Star Wars films and three Lord of the Rings films, among others, made the cut. We also discussed the pending progress of Zombieland 2 and Eisenberg’s surprising affection for the star of Three’s Company .

Despite the fact that it’s already December, the Oscar race for Best Supporting Actor still feels relatively wide-open. Which made it all the more fascinating to speak with not one, but two buzz-earning hopefuls at the same time, and both from a movie that has no shortage of strong supporting performances to boot. But if there’s any hint of off-screen competition between Social Network actors Andrew Garfield and Justin Timberlake as they prep for possible nominations for their turns as rival Mark Zuckerberg BFF s Eduardo Saverin and Sean Parker, respectively, it didn’t show. If anything, these co-stars have only grown closer from the experience of making David Fincher’s acclaimed Facebook movie. (See? Social media does bring people together!)

Say what you will about his provocative, polarizing films, but don’t think for a minute Darren Aronofsky ever takes the path of least resistance. The director’s latest, Black Swan , springs from a place from which few filmmakers emerge alive — the hyper-competitive world of ballet, where, upon earning the role of the Swan Queen in a new adaptation of Swan Lake , young prima ballerina Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman) commences down the road to paranoia, lust and madness.

One good, sprawling interview with an international cinema star deserves another, and so we return to Vincent Cassel. When the French actor spoke to Movieline over the summer about his two-part gangster epic Mesrine , he also commented a bit about a little “independent movie” he was doing with director Darren Aronofsky. Mere months later, Black Swan has captivated critics, festival audiences and not just a few Oscar voters ahead of this weekend’s theatrical opening.

After Dexter creators brutally murdered Julie Benz’s angelic Rita last season, the Pittsburgh-born actress reincarnated herself on ABC’ s No Ordinary Family as a scientist with superhuman speed. When Benz phoned Movieline last week, she explained that her ability to keep picking herself up from one role and transition into the next was something that she learned during her sixteen-year ice skating career, where she competed on a national level before a stress fracture forced her off the rink and in front of cameras. Twenty years after her first role in George A. Romero’s horror film, Two Evil Eyes , the actress has not only been killed off in one of the most savage television murders of all time, but she lives to tell the tale — and run a six-second mile on-screen.

In the last year, Amber Tamblyn has turned over her detective badge from ABC’ s under-appreciated The Unusuals , inserted a welcome dose of estrogen into Danny Boyle’s limb-sawing film 127 Hours , co-starred with her boyfriend David Cross in the IFC series The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret and released a book of poetry . As if that weren’t enough, the Santa Monica-born actress is also practicing medicine on House , the Fox series where Tamblyn has declared residency for a 13-episode arc.

Geoffrey Rush is well aware that he is one letter (the “G”) away from winning an EGOT — the acronym popularized on the television show 30 Rock meaning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony. Of course, this awards season, a Grammy win for Rush seems about as unlikely a bet as it would be to bet against his nomination for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his performance in The King’s Speech — which is about as close to a sure thing as there can be. Not bad for a performance that that was inspired indirectly, of all things, by Crocodile Dundee .
