The 83rd Annual Academy Awards are coming up on February 27th, and with one month to go until the biggest awards show in entertainment, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences this morning announced the Oscar nominations bright and early.
PERFECTION
It's the beginning of a new year and a fresh start for everyone. Time to be perfect.
I'm a perfectionist. I hate making mistakes. When I was young I somehow got it into my head that the best way to not make a mistake is to not even try. I've missed out on a lot of opportunities because of that mindset.
The child actor is a pretty sweet gig, let's face it. You get paid lots of money to play make believe. It certainly beats flipping burgers. But making the transition from young adolescent to adult is where the real challenge lies. It's difficult for young actors to be taken seriously in mature roles when the public is used to seeing them in children's fluff.
If you don't know what a lobbyist does, you will know after seeing Casino Jack. Inspired by the true story of disgraced power-lobbyist Jack Abramoff (Kevin Spacey) and his arrogant co-hort Michael Scanlon (Barry Pepper), you will understand far more than you'll ever want to know about the slimy, dodgy world of "K Street".
MAN CHRISTMAS *
It's that time of year that all men love: aimlessly wandering around a parking lot looking for a space, standing in line for hours between an old lady and a screaming baby, being ripped off by a jewellery salesperson... and this usually all occurs on December 23!
Yes the holiday season is in full swing.
If I were to tell you that one of the most visually stunning films of the last 20 years was 90% neon, you might think it was some kind art-house flick set in Vegas. Not even close. Not since the 80's and 90's has neon ever looked this good. Then again, did neon really look all that good in the first place.
It was announced this week that James Franco and Anne Hathaway will be co-hosting the 83rd Academy Awards this year on February 27th, 2011.
I adore both of these actors and I wish them well with perhaps the most thankless job in Hollywood.
This film is based on the book, "The Garden of Eden", by Ernest Hemingway, which some speculate was semi-autobiographical and was published in 1986 after Hemingway's suicide. This is a story of love, sex, power and gender reversal during the jazz age, a time of newfound freedom and frivolity.

On November 19, 2010, along with five other reporters, I met with Mena Suvari and Caterina Murino at the Playwright's Celtic Pub in New York City to discuss the release of Hemingway's Garden of Eden. The following is a transcript of that meeting.
