...revived it by disagreeing with them both. Then while Foot was striving to dispel the notion that he was a tired and ineffective leader, his wife, Feminist Writer Jill Craigie, was quoted as saying that her husband would step down soon after the election to make way for a younger man. Worse yet, the Labor leader did not flatly contradict the report...

Paul Thomas Anderson, writer-director of the critics' darling There Will Be Blood, is 37. Jason Reitman, whose Juno is the only $100 million box-office hit of the five Best Picture finalists, is just 30.
