Is The Oscar Curse In Store For Jennifer Lawrence?

Think about it. Hear much about Sandra Bullock lately? Gwyneth's movie career? Natalie Portman? (Yes, I know she has another Thor and a Terrence Malick film coming, but still.)

Halle Berry Dumps Her Fake Breasts Into Guacamole

Movie 43 is the outrageous new comedy anthology film in which Hugh Jackman finally has balls. (He takes off his shirt to reveal testicles hanging from his chin, as Kate Winslet looks appalled.) On the set, Halle Berry wanted to be part of the wacky fun and bump up the shock value of her performanc ... More >>

Why Does Jon Hamm Stay With His Lady?

You know, Jennifer Westfeldt, the Tony nominated actress/writer/etc. whose Friends with Kids movie Hamm recently appeared in. Easy: Because they really like each other. But what I'm actually trying to get at is this: Seeing how so many Hollywood relationships explode when one member of the couple ... More >>

It's A Great Year For Best Actress

​The Emmy nominations came out today, but my mind is stuck on the Oscars and how there will be no shortage of leading actress contenders to pick from in 2011. Not only is Meryl Streep donning prosthetics and an accent again, this time as moxieish Margaret Thatcher, but we have the following o ... More >>

HBO's Mildred Pierce: A Good Review!

​Joan Crawford must be rolling because Todd Haynes has apparently done a solid job in adapting Mildred Pierce into a five-hour HBO miniseries that will premiere on March 27. Cultural critic Brendan Lemon liked Kate Winslet in the part--she's right for it, and has the time to flesh it out--and ... More >>

Kate Winslet Cancels Out of Autism Premiere

​The big draw for tonight's premiere of HBO's A Mother's Courage: Talking Back to Autism was the little lady who did the narration--someone by the name of Kate Winslet. Several journalists I know were planning to go in hopes of cornering Kate to ask her, not about autism, but about her upcomi ... More >>

My Heart Goes Out To Sandra Bullock

​How painful to step to the podium and caress your Academy Award while knowing that you're man is a dog who's playing around with a neo-Nazi motorcycle chick and your personal life has fallen to utter shit. Similarly, my auricles and ventricles go out to poor Kate Winslet, who's also suddenly ... More >>

Winslet and Mendes Breakup: The Oscar Curse Again?

​ I'm a big believer in the Oscar curse on celebrity marriages: When one party in a couple wins the award, especially if it's a woman, the relationship often crumbles to the curb even harder than Meryl's chance for a third trophy. It's just too much for a show biz ego, particularly a male on ... More >>

Top Chef May Travel to the Nation's Capital, Maybe With Kate Winslet in Tow

​The past 24 hours have brought a flurry of Top Chef news: The Washington Post has heard from "some sources" close to the show that its seventh season (whose filming was pushed back until April to accommodate Padma's pregnancy) will be filmed in Washington, D.C. If the show does make it to our ... More >>

Who's The Best Movie Actress of the Sound Era?

​In the "top five" list I'm about to share, I wish I could have squeezed in some more of my old favorites, but their filmographies had some holes in them. I also wish I could have included a few more current names, but I can't honestly say Kate Winslet, Nicole Kidman, or Cate Blanchett have e ... More >>

Brit Paper Guilty of Libel for Claiming Kate Winslet Works Out

​Back in January the UK Daily Mail ran a story called "Should Kate Winslet win an Oscar for the world's most irritating actress?" which posited that while in early days the actress "cheerily talked disparagingly about the effects of motherhood on her body," she had of late "caught a nasty dose ...

Nate Silver Takes All the Suspense Out of the Oscars

The Reader 3? It Can't Happen Here!

I already handed Hollywood a money-making idea by posting a hallucination about The Reader 2, in which Kate Winslet would play a blind Nazi who has to feel the faces of various people to determine if they're Jewish before deciding their destiny. (Stereotypical and offensive? Yes. Heartbreaking and ... More >>

I Guess It Wasn't Exactly a Triumph or Anything: Sam Mendes's Revolutionary Road

In 1960, Richard Yates, thirty-four, slurred out a proposal to a twenty-year-old student he'd met at the Bread Loaf Writer's Conference, in Vermont. He was on the brink of a divorce from his first wife, and on the verge of publishing his first book, Revolutionary Road. When the student, Barbara Si ... More >>
