...this time, from India) that crosses over to mainstream-hit status. The film's U.S. distributor, Fox Searchlight, surely hopes that the publicity from the Globes victory will lift Slumdog into the multiplexes with the buoyancy the company enjoyed in 2007 and 2008 with Little Miss Sunshine and Juno, respectively...

Declining box office receipts have resulted in a subdued festival marketplace, where lucrative acquisitions seem to be a thing of the past.

In Juno and Superbad and, before that, on Arrested Development, Cera has displayed that stricken look, as if he'd received a vision of what life has in store for him, and it worries him sick. He seems prematurely 40, so that any teen trauma has the impact of a midlife crisis or some awful dream endlessly repeating itself. As Nick O'Leary in Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist...
