At last Monday's New York Film Critics Circle dinner, I got to chat with Clooney and Bigelow and found them both warm, smart and gorgeous. But as I retreat to my rabbit hole and watch the parade of expensive, pampered flesh on the expertly produced Golden Globe show, I can thank the HPFA for aligning certain constellations - as when Sophia Loren, still statuesque and preternaturally well-preserved at 75, presented the Foreign Film award to Austria's Michael Haneke, the current dean...

Without Beijing's help, you're never going to muster enough economic pressure to change our ways. And my nuclear ace-in-the-hole ensures that no one will really mess with us. Why in the world would I ever give that...
