Another Critics Choice Awards Post
The pictures just keep coming from last night’s Critics Choice Awards.

The Best Films of 2008: A movie trivia post! :D
It's the end of the year, and we're all bored and maybe a little hung over and probably broke from the holidays. It's been a slow news day and it's a Sunday with nothing to do, so I got bored and decided to make a movie trivia post! I've seen them on ONTD before, but I decided to only pick trivia tidbits from Moviephone's 50 Best Movies of 2008, instead of picking random titles as others have done in the past. Because all of these movies are new, not every single one has trivia or they have very little, but

Reading the Oscar Tea Leaves at the AFI Awards Lunch
The annual AFI awards lunch at the Four Seasons is low-key. Each of the companies behind one of the year's ten top movies or TV shows commandeers a table. Many of the major players, filmmakers and stars show up, because they don't have to do much more than walk a short press line and then hobnob and enjoy lunch with all their pals and rivals. Emotions are running high because the Globes are Sunday night and ballots are being filled out and each team wants their horse to win. Anxiety is palpable.Fox Searchli

Oscar Futures: The Guilds Turn On the Bat Signal
Every week between now and February 2, when the nominations are announced, movies and stars will help themselves — or, sometimes, hurt themselves — in the Oscar race. Vulture's Oscar Futures will listen to insider gossip, comb the Oscar blogs, and out-and-out guess when necessary to track who's up, who's down, and who's currently leading the race for a coveted nomination. Best Picture UP:The Dark Knight. Important recognition this week from the WGA, PGA, and DGA (plus unimportant recognition fro

Anne Hathaway @ Palm Springs Film Festival
It’s nice to see Anne Hathaway look all glammed up for the 2009 Palm Springs International Film Festival.

Jon Chattman: Analyzing the Best Films of 2008 and \"the Urinefactor\"
I remember one-and-a-half hours into 2008's biggest hit and best film The Dark Knight, I had to go to the bathroom. After holding it for another 30 minutes, I pounded my fist on the stadium-seated armrest, and literally ran out of the IMAX screening. I wasn't alone. Right behind me was another Man who made his way to the mens' room (thankfully not the same stall). Our eyes met as I held the door for him, and for a fleeting moment, our eyes met in the bathroom mirror. We both grinned, and he said very quick

Red Carpet Lineup (Awards Show Edition)
It's that time of year. You're probably back at the gym trying to lose the holiday weight gain but the movie stars just get their cardio on red carpets for the next six weeks. So herewith, some gowns from the BFCA show and the People's Choice --and yes it's the last time I'll be mentioning "People's Choice". [sigh] People... they're always making the wrong ones!images by way of @ JAMDAnne Hathaway, who is a smart smart girl, was the princess of the ball in white -- she even referenced her Princess Diaries d

Got Milk? I'll Take Vicky and Cristina in Barcelona! My Faves From '08
It suddenly occurred to me just before I started grinding out my year-end summaries and 10-best lists that I have been engaged in this activity for a very long time. If my increasingly faulty memory is correct, this marks the 50th anniversary of my published 10-best lists, dating back to Jonas Mekas’ Movie Journal in The Village Voice sometime in 1958 or 1959 for the New York releases of 1958. Mr. Mekas kindly offered the hospitality of his column to a few of his colleagues, of whom I was one, even though

Paige Donner: Greening Hollywood: And The Awards Go To Leo (DiCaprio), Clint (Eastwood), Sean (Penn), Amy (Adams), Anne (Hathaway
The turnout for the 2009 Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Dinner and Gala included Leo (DiCaprio), Clint (Eastwood), Sean (Penn), Amy (Adams), Anne (Hathaway), Ron (Howard), Gus (Van Sant), Dustin (Hoffman), Zoe (Kazan)... Clint Eastwood was honored this year with the Career Achievement Award, noting he's been in the biz for 55 years. "I have a couple more rabbits in the hat," he said, "You start off as a young guy and you end up as an old car...I just wish they made them run on electricity

The “Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” Movie Trailer
“Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian” is the sequel to the 2007 holiday hit and it is a silly adventure comedy film starring Ben Stiller, Dick Van Dyke, Robin Williams, Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Rami Malek, Hank Azaria, Bill Hader, Ricky Gervais, Christopher Guest and Steve Coogan. It is set for release on May 22, 2009. WIKIPEDIA PLOT: When the Museum of Natural History is closed for upgrades and renovations, the museum pieces are moved into federal storage at the famou

Can Ron Howard give ‘Frost/Nixon’ the edge it needs?
In 2000 I remember reading a post on Ain’t It Cool News by Harry Knowles.  Having seen an unfinished cut of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” the Ron Howard film based on the beloved Dr. Suess story and animated program, Knowles believed that the film would redefine Howard as a filmmkaer, elevate him to a higher level and be the film he would be remembered for. Knowles felt it was a greater achievement than “Apollo 13″ and pretty much anything else the director had done, that

Dakota & Anne Sparkle, Leo & Sean Smolder in Palm Springs
The Palm Springs International Film Festival kicked off last night with their awards gala attended by some of the most acclaimed stars of the year. They screened Dustin Hoffman's new movie Last Chance Harvey and honored Hoffman, Sean Penn, and the cast of Revolutionary Road among others. Thankfully a sun-kissed from Cabo, Leo made the trek to represent his movie. Dakota Fanning looked absolutely lovely and grown up in blue while Anne Hathaway traded in her dramatic hair and pantsuit for a LBD. As if LA isn'

Trailer - 'Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa'
I remember about four years ago or whenever it was, I watched about 10 minutes of Madagascar months before it was released. DreamWorks came to town, brought a clip, and it was nice. I mean, it didn't reinvent the wheel, but the clip showed promise. The movie was about on par with the clip, although it got on my nerves before it should have. Of course, Madagascar is not a movie made for me, and I know that. It looked good, and it moved along briskly. It had a few new traits mixed in with the doz

Ben Stiller Breaks Hand: Will This Miraculously Mean He's Not Cast In 'Greenburg'?
Sheknows.com reports that Ben Stiller broke his hand earlier this week, and no the injury did not occur while masturbating into Cameron Diaz’s hair. It happened during a holiday skiing retreat (in preparation to show off his skiing expertise at Sundance no doubt). Which begs the question could this prevent him from starring in Noah Baumbach's "Greenburg"? We sure hope so, unless of course the role requires him to go full on retard.The Playlist - The sweet spot where movies and music meet.

Who, Besides Anne Hathaway, Will Win a Golden Globe This Weekend?
Given our hilarious rate of success in forecasting last year's winners, we really have no business at all making predictions about this Sunday's Golden Globes — but don't expect that to stop us! And this may be the most predictable awards season ever, but one should never underestimate the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's tendency to throw curveballs or Vulture's amazing ability to be wrong about things. At least we feel pretty good about Anne Hathaway's chances! The rest of our picks, after the
