...Terrence Howard, and in the past year, Hollywood has started to figure him out. His work as Dlay, for which he received a Golden Globe nomination, and as Cameron, the movie director on the receiving end of racism in Crash, has earned him offers to play, he says, "a million different villains" as well as every black luminary with a biopic in the works: Joe Louis, Thurgood Marshall, Rick James. Howard calls the attention "overwhelming. Because you know you haven't done anything different. You start becoming real superstitious?you don't know what...
...Allen, who has floundered in recent years with tepidly received efforts (“Anything Else,” “Hollywood Ending”) destined for Blockbuster clearance racks. Its reception at 2005’s Cannes Film Festival was rapturous, and the film has garnered four Golden Globe nominations, including a Best Supporting Actress nod for Johansson and a Best Director nod for Allen.For Johansson, the fascination with the director began at the age of ten, while most kids her age were still being weaned off of Saturday morning cartoons.

...Senator Joseph McCarthy, gave more than 3,000 speeches on the floor in support of an international treaty banning genocide until it was finally approved in 1986.

It's an improbably melodramatic premise-Golden Boy reset in Paris-and also a remake of the American film Fingers. But that reckons without the canny direction of Jacques Audiard and the appealing work of Romain Duris as the muscle man-musician. His efforts to reclaim himself are told with irony, a touch of almost unspoken romance...
...This adaptation of Arthur Golden?s best-seller baby-stepped onscreen with high hopes and big hype (including a cover story I wrote for TIME Asia). On opening day, the smarter critics slapped Geisha out of its reverie, and no one knows if the Motion Picture Academy members, for whom it was made, will ignore the reviews and give it lots of Oscar nominations. But as one of the movie?s admirers, I?m sticking to my story: that this far-East fairy tale, about the geisha Cinderella (Zhang Ziyi), her wicked stepsister (Gong Li), her fairy godmother (Michelle Yeoh...
