First Awards Splash

I’m blowing off a screening of Tower Heist to attend the Hollywood Awards at the Beverly Hilton. It starts with an hour of cocktail chit-chat from 6 to 7 pm and then will run from 7 pm to 9 pm (or something like that). Every actor, director and producer chosen for an award has to attend because if they don’t, someone else will be chosen and they’ll attend so there’s no way to win except to show up, etc. Everybody gets that. Nobody cares. It’s the first pre-, pre-, pre-senior prom.

.

George Clooney will accept the Actor award for his performance in The Descendants, Moneyball director Bennett Miller will be handed the Director Award; the cast of The Help will receive an Ensemble Award, Williams will get an Actress award for her performance in My Week With Marilyn, Christopher Plummer will be handed a Supporting Actor award for Beginners, Mulligan a Supporting Actress Award for her work in Shame, Diablo Cody will get a Screenwriter Award for Young Adult, and Albert Nobbs star Glenn Close will receive a Career Achievement Award.

  1. Could there be a more nakedly visible display of “hey, if we gave your client an award, would they show up?” than this thing? I think it’s perfect karma that the Obama visit is probably going to completely fuck it up, as his motorcade is going from UCLA to Hancock Park at about the time people will be arriving.

    Countdown to Jeff being delayed by it begins now.

    True Awards Story – I once got to eavesdrop onto a conversation between two heads of a very well respected San Francisco organization debating who they should give their next “Humanitarian of the Year” award to. The choice seemed to be Robin Williams simply because as a local they thought he would agree to show up.

    I had to promise myself never to tell friends the name of this group because they would quit donating money to it and I understood the economics of why they were doing it.

  2. So…this group has seen EVERYTHING set to come out this year? Really? If so, nothing for the horse from “War Horse”? Talk about your snubs……

    “I’m blowing off a screening of Underworld: Awakening to attend the People’s Choice Awards at the Nokia Theater in the LA Live complex.” – January 11, 2012

    “I’m blowing off a screening of Halloween 3D to attend the Spike TV Scream Awards at the Universal Studios lot.” – October 13, 2012

    “I’m blowing off a screening of Breaking Dawn, Part 2 to attend the Blockbuster Awards at the — wait a minute. Didn’t they go bankrupt?” – November 13, 2012

  4. There isn’t any nominating that goes on – the awards are handed out the same way they are with the Santa Barbara Film Fest or the Palm Springs film fest – in advance. Jeff’s incorrect about it being “whoever shows up gets the award.” It was announced long ago who would be getting these.

  5. I’m sorry, but the photography in Ratner’s movies will continue to keep me from minding them. His bright wintry New York looks pleasant. I have turned into an old lady.

  6. Most Furla handbags

    are also made out of leather, they also have something that is out of the most common. You will also locate a Furla carrier made in fabric or other resources from time to time, nevertheless such Furla totes are generally rare. So if you desire to splurge upon real Italian design but don’t want to spend too much, Furla purses are a great way to travel! I strongly suggest a Furla tote for everyone! Click shoping

If so, nothing for the horse from “War Horse”?Blowing off one piece of fiction in favor of another piece of fiction isn’t really much of a headline.
