...arrive at Hollywood's Kodak Theater. The crowd in the bleachers roars. It turns out it has nothing to do with my stylist's choices (BCBG sale rack dress, laptop bag by Targus), but rather the arrival of Al Gore. Enjoy your moment, Mr. Vice President. Rumor on the carpet is that Leo is about to exit his hybrid...
...years later, short films have managed to stay inside the Kodak Theater, and even win over some front-row types. Some 30 abbreviated offerings by such Palme d'Or winners as Gus Van Sant, Lars von Trier and Wong Kar Wai will premiere at Cannes this year. Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have ordered up several minimovies to play between their gory double-feature Grindhouse, due in April. And Steven Spielberg is executive-producing On the Lot, a Fox show in which aspiring filmmakers will produce a short film from a particular genre each week to compete for a development...
...From the lack of paparazzi to the crowds of rowdy Ph.D.s at the best tables to the fact that the women in attendance ate carbohydrates, almost nothing about the SciTech Oscars resembles its glitzier counterpart held later this month at the Kodak Theater.

Guillermo del Toro, writer-director of Pan's Labyrinth, has been nominated in the Foreign Film and Original Screenplay categories. Alfonso Cuarón, the director of Children of Men, could be onstage...
...generations ago, George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak, gave Rochester a movie house. Better than that, he commissioned a brilliant young painter to create posters of the films on view. Alas, many of those celluloid epics have long since been turned into banjo picks, but the artwork survives in Movie Posters: The Paintings of Batiste Madalena (Abrams; 64 pages; $14.95). Here the famous and the forgotten are captured in the forceful style of art deco. Once upon a screen, these vamps, clowns and pirates romanced in a world of black and white. But outside the theater, Madalena made them leap...
