Woody Allen: Punished by Golden Globes for Not Coming to Show

Woody Allen: Punished by Golden Globes for Not Coming to Show

I was wrong. I said a few months ago that Woody Allen’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the Golden Globes guaranteed him a Best Picture nomination for “Blue Jasmine.”

Boy, was I wrong!

Once Woody announced the obvious–that he was sending Diane Keaton in his place to the Globes show on January 12th– that was it. The group gave him nothing. No Best Picture, Director, or Screenplay for “Blue Jasmine.”

The actresses Cate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins were nominated, however. But nothing for Woody himself. Retribution for his no show decision? It seems pretty odd that you’d give someone a Lifetime Achievement award but ignore his current much applauded work. Yikes.

PS Somehow the HFPA got Woody to come down and see them recently at a New York hotel. On their website, the HFPA has pictures (naturally) and a quote from Woody that thinks of them as family! Not anymore, I guess.

 

Golden Globes 2014 Nominees: Oprah Snubbed for “Butler” Performance

Golden Globes 2014 Nominees: Oprah Snubbed for “Butler” Performance

The Golden Globes just snubbed Oprah Winfrey for her outstanding performance in”The Butler.” In fact, they snubbed the entire movie, as well as “Fruitvale Station.” They did acknowledge “12 Years a Slave,” “Captain Phillips,” “Gravity,” “Philomena and “Rush” in drama, and “American Hustle,” “Wolf of Wall street,” “Her,” “Inside Llewyn Davis,” and “Nebraska” as the best comedies. None of them are comedies.

Even more bizarre: they snubbed Woody Allen, to whom they are giving a Lifetime Achievement Award. I told you this would happen months ago. If Woody wasn’t coming to get his award, he’d get very little for “Blue Jasmine.” So no Best Director, Picture, or Screenplay. Just actress (Blanchett) and supporting actress (Sally Hawkins).

One nomination that is spot on: Oscar Isaac in “Inside Llewyn Davis.” But they missed James Gandolfini in “Enough Said.” And the movie itself, which IS a COMEDY.

Golden Globe Nominations Will Be Crazy Because of their Odd Categories

Golden Globe Nominations Will Be Crazy Because of their Odd Categories

The Golden Globe nominations are going to be weirder than ever on Thursday morning. Brace yourselves. Almost nothing they do will correlate with the Oscars no matter how many ‘prognosticators’ bloviate on this subject. The reason is the Hollywood Foreign Press has two divisions: drama, and comedy/musical. But do you remember any musicals this year? “Chicago”? “Dreamgirls’? No. Exactly. So they’ve shoved what should be dramas, but with light touches into comedy/musical.

In this category we now have “American Hustle,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” “Nebraska,” “Her,” “August: Osage County.” None of these were comedies. “AOC” won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. “Wolf” is about vile people who wrecked their lives and those of others, and went to jail. “Nebraska” is a family drama, just like “AOC.” “American Hustle” is funny, but comedy? “Her” is science fiction, and is somber mostly.

The comedies should be “Enough Said,” “Walter Mitty,” “The Heat,” “This is the End,” and “Anchorman.” Those are comedies.

This makes the whole process you witness on Thursday morning sort of moot. And it’s kind of insulting to the people who makes comedies. Comedy is hard. It’s tricky. The five I just mentioned are top notch and deserve their own category. Oh wait: they had their own category. But now it’s stuffed with dramedies because they’ll have a better chance of winning instead of competing with “12 Years a Slave,” “The Butler,” “Blue Jasmine,” “Gravity,” “Captain Phillips,” and so on.

But it’s what I’ve been saying right along. There are too many movies this year. “Wolf” could easily have waited for 2014. The Globes are going to be a calamity. If you want to know about the Oscars, look at SAG and the AFI. The Globes are just for fun, and nothing else.

“August: Osage County” Actor Sam Shepard Plays it Cool (and Fun) at Lunchtime Q&A

“August: Osage County” Actor Sam Shepard Plays it Cool (and Fun) at Lunchtime Q&A

Sam Shepard– playwright, actor, etc– does not do publicity. So when he showed up at today’s lunch honoring beloved “August: Osage County” producer Jean Doumanian at Le Cirque, everyone was surprised. Shepard, looking like a dusty cowboy in the city–had the seat of honor next to Liz Smith. They talked Texas all the way through Sirio Maccione’s tasty morsels.

But when it came time for the author of “True West” and “A Lie of the Mind” to participate in a Q&A with his castmates, Shepard was less a cowboy and more of a shadow. He lurked far behind a row of black chair-stools set up for Chris Cooper, Margo Martindale, Juliette Lewis, Julianne Nicholson, Abigail Breslin, and moderator Michael Riedel of the New York Post. A seat was left open for him. Champagne was sent over to him.

But Shepard managed to stay out of the mix. It was all in good fun. The “AOC” crowd was psyched from its SAG Best Ensemble nomination and actor nods for Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.

Juliette Lewis told the crowd, “You’re lucky he even came to lunch.” What did they talk about on set? “Rock and roll, Patti Smith, the West,” joked Lewis. “He’s a cowboy.”

Shepard did stick around through dessert, hanging with Cooper and chatting with actor Bob Dishy. He talked to yours truly about late genius novelist David Foster Wallace, who took his own life at a young age.

Cooper, meantime, told us about having a heart attack eight months ago while he was shooting “Amazing Spider Man 2” in New York. “I’m ok now,” he said. Thank goodness. Cooper is one of our most talented actors and nicest of guys. Everyone loves him. And he’s sublime in “AOC.” One woman at lunch told him: “All the maternal feelings in the movie are expressed by your character.” Cooper blushed. “Why thank you,” he said.

Lunch guests included the famed Elaine May, her producing partner Julian Schlossberg, writer-actor Robert Wuhl, Bob Dishy and Judy Graubart, columnist Richard Cohen, playwright Israel Horovitz, and former network White House correspondent Bob Jamieson.

BFCA, HFPA: Best Song in a Movie? Watch Here Gladys Knight and Lenny Kravitz

There are a lot of candidates for Best Song in a movie this year. Diane Warren has one, so does U2. They’re each terrific. But I am a Gladys Knight fan. And Gladys has a major song in “The Butler,” written for her by Lenny Kravitz. Here they are performing it on David Letterman. If you’re in #BFCA or #HFPA, remember “You And I Ain’t Nothing No More.” If we’ve got to sit through three hour awards shows, and there’s a chance Gladys Knight can sing on them, let’s do it, kids. Great song. Great performance.

SAG: “The Butler” Surprises, Redford Snubbed, “Hustle” Has a Problem

SAG: “The Butler” Surprises, Redford Snubbed, “Hustle” Has a Problem

The SAG Awards showed a couple of things: first, Lee Daniels’ “The Butler” came roaring back after critics groups forgot it. The movie, released in August, picked up three of the five major SAG Awards: Best Ensemble, Actor, and Supporting Actress– the latter for Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey.

I told you in August that Oprah would sweep through Best Supporting Actress at all the awards shows. “The Butler” may shape up as the surprise Oscar nominee. It’s in 1007 theaters right now. Let’s see if today’s news and maybe tomorrow’s don’t bring a new audience into theaters.

Then: “American Hustle” has a problem. Such a great movie, but voters are thinking of it only as an ensemble. Jennifer Lawrence’s flashy work is getting her into the Supporting category. But all four actors should be nominated. Somehow. Amy Adams is spectacular in this movie. Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper are at the top of their games.

And: Robert Redford! No nomination! “All is Lost” couldn’t be a Best Ensemble (although somehow it made it for Best Ensemble Stunt Work.) He’ll be back for the Oscars.

Also snubbed: “Nebraska,” “Her,” “Inside Llewyn Davis.” Surprised by all.

SAG Nominees: The Butler, August Osage County, 12 Years, American Hustle, Dallas Buyers

Here are the 2014 Screen Actors Guild nominees. Unlike tomorrow’s smorgasbord of Golden Globe nominees, the SAG Awards are pretty accurate indicators of the Academy Awards. Best Ensemble usually translates into Best Picture. Two movies that can’t be in the former category today: “Gravity” and “All is Lost.” Their casts are too small! The SAG Awards air on January 18th at 8pm/5pm on TBS and TNT.

Tears for Spears: Britney’s New Album Comes in a Lackluster 5th Behind Duck Dynasty Carols

Tears for Spears: Britney’s New Album Comes in a Lackluster 5th Behind Duck Dynasty Carols

Britney Spears: do she even have a constituency? As the 31 year old former teen queen heads to Vegas, her recording career is on the wane. This week she sold around 108,000 copies of her “Britney Jean” album. That’s considerably less than her peers, such as Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez in their debut sales weeks.

Justin Bieber should watch the Britney saga closely. Spears’s stardom came in her late teens and early twenties. Her mental breakdowns and public spectacles didn’t help. But like most invented pop stars, Spears was not designed for a shelf life of more than five years. The fact that she sold even 100,000 copies this week is pretty good. But sales like that won’t sustain her over the next decade.

“Britney Jean” indeed sold fewer copies than the Duck Dynasty family The Robertsons, singing Christmas carols. (I cannot believe anyone in their right mind is buying or even listening to that.)

Britney will be alright. Even though “Britney Jean” is a non starter, the former pop tart will sell tickets in Vegas. And she’s got her Perfume. At least she made the effort. Way down the charts from number 4, around 20, is Lady Gaga’s scuffed and abandoned “ARTPOP.”

Ben Stiller “Seriously Considering” Sequel to 2001 “Zoolander”

“Could you do Blue Steel or Magnum?” someone in the audience at Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade theater asked Ben Stiller during a Q&A this past weekend. Blue Steel and Magnum are the two special ‘looks’ conveyed by Stiller’s character Derek Zoolander the clueless male model in his classic 2011 comedy.

The Q&A and a Stiller retrospective were tied in to the Christmas release of Stiller’s upcoming take on “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.”  The feel-good movie co-starring Kristen Wiig that comes out this month.

Stiller chose “Zoolander,” about a dim-witted model, to be the first film screened in the series. Why did he choose “Zoolander” the moderator asked?

“Because I like it,” Stiller replied slowly.

“Zoolander” had the misfortune of bad timing; it came out 11 days after 9/11 and got some terrible reviews, especially from Roger Ebert who wrote the movie was a prime example of why America is hated in some parts of the world. (Later Stiller said the critic sort of apologized to Stiller and conceded he may have over reacted.)

“Zoolander” went on to become one of Stiller’s most well-loved movies and, Stiller said, has gone on to have a life of its own.

So back to the audience request for Zoolander’s signature look:  cheeks sucked in, eyes open wide and vacant.

“Okay,” Stiller said. “I have to say Blue Steel is the original but Magnum is a little more powerful so I think I’ll go with Magnum.”

Stiller got out of his chair, did the model strut and then sucked in his cheeks.

Of course the running joke in the film is that it takes Zoolander years to perfect a look – he only has two – and both are exactly  the same.

To a question about “Zoolander 2,” Stiller said he “is strongly considering a sequel” and has completed a script with writer-actor Justin Theroux, who played the evil DJ in the 2001 film. “We wrote a script about 2 ½ years ago and we like the script,” he said. “We talked to the studio and the studio’s kind of into it but they were trying to figure out the casting and the budget and all these things and it just sort of didn’t like happen right away.” Stiller added, “I still like the script and I could see doing it, it’s a matter of (it) coming together.”

Stiller does have some reservations. “Making a big broad comedy like ‘Zoolander’ takes a lot of energy. I feel like people who love the movie really love the movie and I want to make sure the movie lives up to that for them, which I think could happen.”

Stiller said he was more self conscious about the character and how it would be received this time around. “I was thinking about that” a lot he said. “If I do this character what if it sucks?” He added, “I don’t close the doors on it but it’s just, it’s not something I would ever want to force because I think the energy that it takes to make a movie like this is you have to be in that moment and just be sort of not thinking about all the other stuff.”
