...From the lack of paparazzi to the crowds of rowdy Ph.D.s at the best tables to the fact that the women in attendance ate carbohydrates, almost nothing about the SciTech Oscars resembles its glitzier counterpart held later this month at the Kodak Theater.

These days, though, the Orange British Academy Film Awards, known as the baftas, want to be taken seriously. This year's ceremony marks the awards' 60th anniversary and the academy is determined that the evening's only bubbles will come from the champagne. For the first time, the red carpet will...
...able to deal with the barbs offered up by Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals? The world will soon find out. Stiller will receive the Hasty Pudding’s Man of the Year (MOY) award for 2007, the group announced Monday. He and his female counterpart, Woman of the Year (WOY) Scarlett Johansson, will be feted with roasts on successive weekends this February, as the student theatrical group presses on toward the premiere of its 159th original production, “The Tent Commandments.” The official qualification for the annual MOY/WOY award...
