...named best actor at this year's Venice Film Festival. The $216,000 A Single Man earned at nine venues is a good start toward the first goal; but, at least in the early critics votes, Firth keeps getting edged out for Best Actor by another sensitive hunk: George Clooney...

Up in the Air, though, is soaring. The Jason Reitman comedy-drama, with Clooney as a corporate hired gun and frequent flyer, has swept awards - best film, actor and screenplay - from the National Board of Review and the Washington D.C. Area Film Critics Association. That plus a fruitful 91% rating from Rotten Tomatoes, top critics. (Read "Clooneypalooza: A Star Is Airborne...

Playing on a mere 15 screens, Up in the Air soared to a stratospheric $1.2 million. The Jason Reitman comedy-drama, starring George Clooney as a charming, rootless management consultant who flies around the country firing people, was deemed a front runner for the Best Picture Oscar after its premieres at the Telluride and Toronto film festivals.

...more specialized fare, Wes Anderson's stop-motion-animation delight Fantastic Mr. Fox, with George Clooney contributing his voice to the Roald Dahl children's classic, purloined a so-so $7 million in its first weekend of wide release; it earned about the same per-screen average as the much feebler animated feature Planet 51. The Road, with Viggo Mortensen enduring many a hardship in the film version of Cormac McCarthy's post-apocalyptic novel, took in a sturdy $1.5 million at 111 theaters, to finish a mere $10,000 behind Clooney's 10th-place The Men Who Stare...
