...here. And if all the predictions I list below prove to be false when you read our next blog Saturday, you should get a giggle too. The award show, which can often be endearing in its gaucherie, is broadcast across Europe, and in the U.S. on the Independent Film Channel, beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern...

Won over, he says, by the cable channel's yearlong courtship, Glass is two-thirds finished with a pilot presentation due in June.
