There’s one in every class photo, isn’t there? In the photo taken at yesterday’s prestigious Oscar luncheon for the 2012 nominees at the Beverly Hilton Hotel you can spot Best Animated Short Film nominee William Joyce (The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore) in the third row (good eyes, EW commenter!) giving bunny ears to his collaborator Brandon Oldenburg, who obliged him with a funny face.  (Sorry Armie Hammer, this might be the photo-bomb to end them all.)

Of course, there’s plenty more to marvel at at this virtual Where’s Waldo? of Hollywood. (Except in this case, everyone is Waldo and Waldo is very, very beautiful and rich.) The top row has some heavy-hitting power clusters, including Brad Pitt, Meryl Streep, and Rooney Mara, as well as Michelle Williams next to Aaron Sorkin and Steven Spielberg, with Martin Scorsese on the far right. (Now that would have made for a memorable bunny-ears pose.)

DGA-AWARDS

Brevity was the name of the game at last night’s Directors Guild of America Awards, held at the Grand Ballroom above the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. Last year’s event celebrated the DGA’s 75th anniversary, and as a consequence, the evening ran so voluminously long, DGA president Taylor Hackford felt obliged to promise “to keep things moving quickly” for this year’s affair, to much thankful applause from the crowd.

As it turned out, Hackford needn’t have worried. While it is customary for all the feature film nominees to speak at the DGAs, both Woody Allen (Midnight in Paris) and David Fincher (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) did not attend — Allen has rarely if ever attended awards events, and Fincher had to jet to Japan for Dragon Tattoo‘s premiere in Tokyo. Best Documentary winner James Marsh (Project Nim) and Musical/Variety TV show winner Glenn Weiss (The 65th Annual Tony Awards) were also no shows. So all told, between the dinner and the awards, the evening clocked in just under four hours. Progress!

And EW was there for all of it. Check out the highlights below:  READ FULL STORY »

Fassbender Package Punchline Watch: The 'Shame' star talks on-camera bathroom habits with Clooney

by
Tags: , , , , , Movies

Newsweek‘s annual Oscar Roundtable is a particularly lively conversation this year, with Michael Fassbender, George Clooney, Viola Davis, Tilda Swinton, Christopher Plummer, and a potty-mouthed Charlize Theron. Naturally, it gives us another installment of our Fassbender Package Punchline Watch leading up to tomorrow’s Oscar noms. The video below picks up with Swinton talking about whether there’s a law on erections on film sets. “Let’s go to the pro,” Clooney says, pointing to Fassbender. “How many erections are you allowed?” Theron jokes, while the group laughs. Though we don’t get an answer to that, Fassbender does confirm that he really did pee on film for Shame. “That was your fear?” Theron quips, when Fassbender says he wasn’t sure whether he’d be able to perform in front of the crew. “How many takes did you do?” Clooney asks. “Three,” Fassbender says. “Really? Good for you. Hard to stop, isn’t it?” Clooney says. Asked by a writer if anyone else has peed on film before — that is not a question you get to ask everyday! — Clooney stays classy. “I pooped myself,” he says. “It wasn’t on purpose. I meant just now. Literally.”  READ FULL STORY »

Relax, this wasn’t an awards ceremony to honor the cinematic achievement that is Grown Ups. (That’s what the MTV Movie Awards is for!) Rather, it’s AARP: The Magazine‘s 11th Annual Movies for Grownups Awards, an event which rewards outstanding acting, directing and writing of filmmakers 50 and over and the movies your parents really, really liked over the past year. (Sorry, Shame!)

Echoing the Golden Globes, The Descendants and The Artist will walk away the victors at the Feb. 6 ceremony at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, as they’ve been named Best Movie for Grownups and Best Comedy for Grownups, respectively. (Considering I dropped the median age by about 15 years when I went to see The Descendants at a crowded Manhattan theater and that George Clooney is just so darn charming, this one is a no-brainer.)

Despite some reported personal turmoil this week, Johnny Depp can rest easy that America’s still got his back. The Pirates of the Caribbean star has topped Harris Interactive’s “Favorite Movie Star” poll for a second year in a row. There were plenty of surprises on the list, like how the reclusive Depp beat out four of Hollywood’s most charismatic A-listers and a Westerns legend, the complete absence of Tinseltown’s ultimate power couple, and the demographic breakdown of Depp’s fan base that shows his supporters are truly a silent majority. See who Depp bested for the title and which Oscar-winning actresses dropped off the list entirely after the jump. READ FULL STORY »
