...didn't know your name when they walked into An Education but walked out predicting that you'd be the front runner for Best Actress It's odd, actually, because going into the Golden Globes, it was a year to the day to the hour from when the film had premiered at Sundance. So it's been around for such a long time that it's hard to really process. I read for the film in late 2006, and it was the third time that I auditioned when I finally met the director. There would be these big, six-month...

"English-speaking content has most to lose [from file-sharing]," he says...
...expanding Universal Music's operations, he wants to turn it into a "content-owning rights company," which means developing television and film formats to vie with the two Simons' TV franchises: Fuller's American Idol and Cowell's soon-to-be-arriving X Factor, which is already a big hit in Britain. Among Universal's television projects in Britain is a show called Popstar to Operastar, which features Meatloaf as a judge of La Scala wannabes. And on the theater front, Universal is backing Judy Craymer, the producer of the stage and film musical Mamma Mia!, in her efforts...
