...Dark Knight, which is the second biggest dollar-earner in movie history, and which kids and critics alike appreciated less as a live-action comic book than a triangular battle of stern Good, giggling Evil and two faces in between. Except for a Heath Ledger memorial citation (Supporting Actor), the film was shut out of all major award categories, taking seven other doorstop prizes like Sound Editing and Sound Mixing...
...people - stars who might actually prop up the sinking ratings of what was once the highest-rated TV show except for the Super Bowl - it chose the wrong ones, or the right ones in the wrong films. It's sweet that Angelina Jolie will accompany her beau Brad (Best Actor nominee for Benjamin Button) to the ceremony, but a shame that she was made a Best Actress finalist for her work as the desperate mother in Changeling, a performance so miscalibrated that it yanks the story out of its period whenever she's on screen.

...about a scrappy, overachieving journalist who was given three days to put together a cover story about George Clooney - a man who had been covered in every way, from every possible angle. Every idea that the journalist came up with - like a poker game with Clooney's friends - the actor shot down. So this journalist took a risk that no other celebrity profiler had ever taken: he invited Clooney over to his house for dinner. And the journalist cooked and cooked, and maybe the rack of lamb he undercooked, but he got that cover story. Big days, I told Faulk...
