Final Girl on the Sorority Row movie poster. Too funny

Noh Way on Away We Go by way of Auntie Mame. Good stuff (though I disagree that Maggie Gyllenhaal's scene is the best in the movie. If anything it's the worst scene in the movie -- though well portrayed by Gyllenhaal -- betraying the movies ridiculous and ugly superiority complex towards half of the lives it happens to glance at)

Times an article on Skin's problems finding distribution (Reminder: that's the movie wherein Sophie Okonedo is a black girl with white parents in Apartheid era South Africa)

Movies Kick Ass revisits Judy Holliday's controversial Oscar win for Born Yesterday

Forces of Geek and a zillion other blogs have posted the new Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow photos from Iron Man 2. Straight boys confuse me so much sometimes. This comment isn't about Forces of Geek (who don't comment »

Chris Lemmon: The Hollywood Interview

Actor and author Chris Lemmon.

Chris Lemmon Sheds Light On Jack Lemmon: The Man Behind The Magic

By

Alex Simon

Contrary to popular belief, not all movie stars’ offspring had dysfunctional lives filled with drug abuse, domestic violence and self-destruction. Some children of stars have even gone on to live “normal” lives outside of La-la land, and hold their famous parents in high esteem. Take the case of Chris Lemmon. Born June 22, 1954 in L.A., Chris is the son of two-time Oscar winning actor Jack Lemmon and actress Cynthia Stone. Although his parents divorced when he was young, Chris remained close to both throughout their lives and penned a tribute to his father, (who passed in 2001) called A Twist of Lemmon in 2006, published by Algonquin Books.

A successful actor in his own right and a graduate of Cal Arts, Chris Lemmon most recently has collaborated with Sony Pictures Home Entertainment »

Oscar Week: The Best Best Actresses

18 February 2009 5:22 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

It's likely that the Oscar has gone to the wrong performance in the Best Actress category more times than it has for Best Actor. You won't find Bette Davis here for All About Eve, or Gloria Swanson for Sunset Boulevard; they were both beaten by Judy Holliday for Born Yesterday.

There's no Shirley Maclaine for The Apartment, no Sigourney Weaver for either good Alien performance, no Angela Bassett for What's Love Got to Do With It?, no Cate Blanchett for Elizabeth, and no Maria Falconetti in The Passion of Joan of Arc. Just think of how different this list would look only counting those oversights.

But here are our rankings of the best performances to ever win Best Actress. Debate away...

1 - Meryl Streep - Sophie's Choice (1981)

I'll make this really simple. There has never been a better female actor in film than Meryl Streep. Making the argument against it »

Will the Babe Factor help Kate Winslet in a close Oscars contest with Meryl Streep?

18 February 2009 8:44 AM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

"It wasn't calculated! I swear! You must believe me!" Kate Winslet gasped to Gold Derby late last year as we discussed her recent photo shoot with Vanity Fair. That bawdy gig had been a perfect way for her to begin seducing Oscars' voters as she unveiled "Revolutionary Road" and "The Reader."

As every Oscarologist knows, voters have judged the lead and supporting actress races in recent years as if they were beauty pageants. Consider, for example, some of the gals who won best actress this past decade: Julia Roberts, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron, Reese Witherspoon. Last year, when most Oscar pundits bet on 66-year-old Julie Christie ("Away From Her") to win, the younger, prettier contender pulled off an upset: Marion Cotillard ("La Vie en Rose").

Only two women over the age of 50 have nabbed an Oscar over the past 15 years: Judi Dench ("Shakespeare in Love," 1998) and Helen Mirren ("The Queen, »
