How Miranda Priestly Saved Anna Wintour

3:47AM Brian Moylan | We thought the Late Show portion of Anna Wintour’s Make-People-Like-Me-Before-My-Contract-Is-Up Tour 2009 would be a disaster. Until Letterman asked about The Devil Wears Prada. Then we knew she was safe, because she could never come off worse than Miranda Priestly. More »

What Do You Think About The Fantastic Mr. Fox Trailer?

7:13AM Natasha VC | Oh, Wes Anderson! It looked as though you squandered your immense talent with a spate of insufferably quirky, predictable, awkward young man flicks. Could a stop-motion kids’ film bring you out of your self-parodying slump? More »

YouTube Clip Of The Day

9:42AM Jess McGuire | I may as well have renamed this post Meryl Streep Appreciation, because since I saw Doubt on the weekend I’ve decided she’s the greatest person ever, and – of course – I returned home and went on a YouTube binge. Firstly, here is the trailer for Doubt, if you’ve not seen it yet. She is AWESOME. If Kate Winslet (and I say this as a fan of hers) wins the Oscar for the somewhat disappointing Revolutionary Road over Meryl Streep’s turn in Doubt then I’m not sure I will be able to contain my furious anger. ANYWAY. Here is Meryl being a bit amusing! More »

2:00AM STV | Doubt to Open AFI Fest: The Oscar-bait shuffle that is AFI Fest’s opening night settled down late Thursday when organisers announced Doubt as its Oct. 30 replacement for The Soloist. It will be the Meryl Streep/Philip Seymour Hoffman drama’s world premiere following a quiet test screening this summer and a private screening last night for its original Broadway cast and select press. Among them evidently was Tom O’Neil, to whom Scott Rudin expressed nervousness about sharing Doubt on the AFI stage still relatively early in Oscar season (the film opens small Dec. 12). And really, with one horse already down and only one other left in the race after this, can you blame him? OK, fine — so can we. Zip it, Rudin. [Gold Derby] More »
