...cost him votes. CLOONEY: I've actually had that conversation with him, just saying "Look, I'll give you whatever support you need-including staying completely away from you." Actors have done a lot of damage to candidates lately. My father ran for Congress in 2004, and it was "Hollywood vs. the Heartland!" My father was Hollywood. PITT: I'm just hungry for some honesty and leadership. And I'm following them all-on all sides. DAMON: I'm an Obama guy too. I think a lot of the problems in the world would be mitigated if he were...

It was also a tribute to a country whose cinema industry is on the rise; another Romanian effort, Cristian...
...certainly worthy of a top slot. Gray's cop drama rarely reached the emotional boiling point, but the Tarantino and Fincher films, if not nearly the best of the directors' work, paraded the filmmaking brio, the narrative twists and drive, that mark solid updates of the classic Hollywood style.

Major U.S. studios may take the hint, and be more reluctant to submit films for the competition in future years...
