Emmy Nominations Reveal Few Surprises

16 July 2009 10:01 AM, PDT | From CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news

It's a good day for funny people, especially if your name is Tina Fey or Seth MacFarlane.

Fey's series, 30 Rock, was handed 22 Emmy nominations this morning, which stands as a record for a comedy series. She and Alec Baldwin were also nominated for acting awards. Plus, for the first time some of the other actors on NBC's laffer  were recognized. Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan all picked up supporting nominations.

MacFarlane's Family Guy was also nominated for best comedy series, the first time an animated show has cracked that category since The Flintstones in 1961. Two years ago MacFarlane decided to pull his show from contention in the animated series category to have it considered for best comedy.

Mad Men, the drama about the advertising world in the sixties, picked up 16 nominations in the drama categories, including a best actor nod for Jon Hamm. Hamm is also nominated as

Movie Stars For Emmy

16 July 2009 9:54 AM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

Since the EMMYs have 2,741 categories, we only focus on two things: first, how our favorite shows did and second, which big screen stars other than La Pfeiffer (she's always there with her television kingpin husband) will show up. Which of them got nominated for their small screen sojourns whether longform or more movie-like?

Speaking of which...

Drew Barrymore on the set of Going the Distance

Yes, you, Drew. But you knew she knew (everyone knew) that her affecting work in Grey Gardens as "Little Edie" was going to make the grade. "Big Edie" Jessica Lange also won a nomination for the narrative feature based on -- but also sort of jumping off from and commenting on -- the famous beloved documentary of the same name. I hope to have an interview with their director here soon.

Before we get to the rest of the big screen folks, here's the nominees

30 Rock Leads 2009 Emmy Nominations

16 July 2009 9:48 AM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

The nominees for the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were announced today in Los Angeles, and the show to garner the most nods was 30 Rock, which received a record 22 nominations for a comedy series. With the Emmys expanding their number of nominees from five to six in certain categories, some new shows were finally able to get some recognition, although a few big shows were still overlooked in their final seasons: most notably The Shield and Battlestar Galactica. There are a ton of categories so I only included some of the major nominees below. For the complete list visit the Emmy Awards official website [1]. What do you think of the nominees? Did any of your favourite shows get left out? What are the biggest oversights?

DVD Playhouse--July 2009

14 July 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | From The Hollywood Interview | See recent The Hollywood Interview news

DVD Playhouse—July 2009

By

Allen Gardner

Do The Right Thing: 20th Anniversary Edition (Universal) Spike Lee’s groundbreaking fable about race relations in an ethnically mixed Brooklyn neighborhood during a sweltering New York summer remains as potent, timely and prescient as it was in 1989. Lee is among the cast, which also includes John Turturro, Danny Aiello, Samuel L. Jackson, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, and Rosie Perez (to name a few), that provide the tableaux-like framework for this stunning work. Criminally ignored by Oscar (it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture, but did garner nods for Supporting Actor Danny Aiello and Lee’s screenplay), it endures as a timeless classic. Also available on Blu-ray disc. Bonuses: Commentary by Lee, Ernest Dickerson, Wynn Thomas, Joie Lee; Documentary; Deleted and extended scenes; Featurettes. Widescreen. Dolby and DTS 5.1 surround.

Two Kevins and three Brits could compete for TV movie actor Emmy

13 July 2009 7:40 PM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

Our two resident Emmy experts  — forum moderators Chris "Boomer" Beachum and Robert "Rob L" Licuria (AwardsHeaven.net) — also agree on the five men who will contend for best actor in a TV movie or mini-series. They anticipate Kevin Bacon ("Taking Chance"), Brendan Gleeson ("Into the Storm") and Kevin Kline ("Cyrano de Bergerac") earning their first Emmy recognition when nominations are announced on Thursday. Both of them think Ian McKellen ("King Lear") will land his fourth Emmy nod while previous champ Kenneth Branagh ("Conspiracy") should reap his fourth Emmy bid in this category for "Wallender." And unlike the lead actress in a movie/mini race, both Boomer and Rob think this could be a competitive category with seven other actors in the mix. Best Movie/Mini-series Actor

Kevin Bacon, "Taking Chance" – Rob, Boomer

Kenneth Branagh, "Wallander: One Step Behind" – Rob, Boomer

Brendan Gleeson, "Into the Storm" – Rob, Boomer

Kevin Kline, "Cyrano de Bergerac" (Great Performances) – Rob,

Emmy rerun: All six lead drama actors could be repeat nominees

13 July 2009 12:29 AM, PDT | From Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news

According our resident Emmy experts — forums moderators Chris "Boomer" Beachum and Robert "Rob L" Licuria, who also contribute to AwardsHeaven.net — the contenders for best lead actor in a drama series all will have at least one previous Emmy nomination. Indeed, Rob thinks the lineup will be a complete repeat of last year, while Boomer bumps out three-time champ James Spader ("Boston Legal") for Kiefer Sutherland ("24"), who had to sit out the derby last year due to the writers' strike. Last year, this Emmy category was supposed to have five nominees, but ended up with six due to an accounting glitch: the contenders in the fifth and six positions were so close in votes that the TV academy included them both. This year, all categories for series actors will have six slots. If their predictions pan out as well as last year – when they both nailed the final nominees –  that

Megan Fox, Robert Downey, Jr., Kiefer Sutherland and Eliza Dushku look to be the stars of Friday's Comic-Con

10 July 2009 2:34 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

  Yesterday's announcement of Comic-Con's Thursday panels sent fans expectations soaring and gave a number of journalists stress attacks over all the events to cover, so there was a collective sigh of relief when organizers announced a relatively less hectic Friday schedule.  Well, at least on the movie side of things.On the movie side, Warner Bros. gets the day in the massive Hall H at 10:00 Am. The studio will present panels and previews of such highly-anticipated features such as "Where the Wild Things Are," "The Book of Eli," "A Nightmare on Elm Street," "The Box," "Jonah Hex" and "Sherlock Holmes." ...

[DVD Review] Third Watch: The Complete Second Season

9 July 2009 8:31 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news

By the time Third Watch started, ER was in its fifth season. Both aired on NBC, occurred in major metropolitan areas (New York City and Chicago, respectively) and had healthy though changing casts of characters. However, ER outlasted Third Watch by nine seasons. Considering that one occurs within the confines of a single hospital and that the other has the whole of New York City you have to wonder how Third Watch fizzled so fast in comparison. Even more importantly, ER had significant cast changes on a seasonal basis while Third Watch maintained a strong core of about eight characters. So what went wrong?

The strong storytelling just wasn’t there.

Third Watch’s ability to keep a storyline going faltered severely from the get-go. The characters are inconsistent and prone to convenient outbursts for the sake of a moral or political message. Despite being a serialized show Third Watch

No 3D for Monsters vs Aliens Blu-ray

8 July 2009 7:52 PM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news

I had been preparing questions for Dreamworks and Paramount Home Entertainment pertaining to their plan for handling 3D on the upcoming Monsters vs Aliens Blu-ray Disc and DVD that stars the voices of Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, and Kiefer Sutherland. This morning all the questions were addressed with the same blanket answer: we're not ready. In a surprising move, Dreamworks will be releasing Monsters vs Aliens on Blu-ray Disc and DVD without 3D despite approximately 58% of box office ticket sales coming from 3D screenings. The reasons are purely technical. It cannot be done... yet. Speaking to Home Media Magazine, DreamWorks Animation chief Ann Daly explained the reasoning as follows: "The movie itself was developed with the notion of doing the RealD-Dolby experience in theaters, and those specs are not ideal for the anaglyph presentation for home viewing, which still relies on glasses with colored rather than polarized lenses," Daly said.

20th Century Fox working on Mirrors 2

8 July 2009 6:10 PM, PDT | From HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news

Shock Till You Drop got a tip from a source at 20th Century Fox that the company is prepping a direct-to-dvd sequel to last year's Mirrors, the cleverly titled Mirrors 2. No details have surfaced other then that director Alex Aja and star Kiefer Sutherland will Not be returning and that Fox is aiming at a 2010 dvd release. Mirrors was massively hyped last August but only managed to carve up $30 million at the box office - a disapointment considering the $35 million budget. A direct to video sequel with a significantly lower budget should manage to turn a profit.

No 3D DVD Release for Monsters Vs. Aliens

8 July 2009 10:14 AM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news

We didn't provide a ton of coverage of Monsters Vs. Aliens when it was released theatrically, but considering 3D technology is such a hot topic nowadays, we thought this latest bit of news about the film's DVD format was topical and timely: Despite the fact that 3D showings accounted for 58% of the CG-animated film’s opening weekend box office take, home viewers won't have the same choice as it's only being released in 2D on DVD and Blu-ray.

According to Home Media Magazine, the InTru 3-D technology developed by Dreamworks and Intel worked wonders in theaters with digital projectors but simply couldn’t be replicated in the average consumer home. Chris Chinnock, co-founder and managing director of the 3D@Home Consortium says, "The only viable option was to do anaglyph or color coding, and doing [that] would compromise the quality of the product."

But 3D fans needn't despair. To satisfy their demand,

Monsters Vs. Aliens Gets Animated in 3-D on DVD and Blu-ray on September 29th

8 July 2009 7:00 AM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news

You can bring one popular 3-D animated adventure home on DVD and Blu-ray this September. Monsters Vs. Aliens will be released on DVD and Blu-ray on September 29. The film will be released in a single-disc edition, a Two-Disc Ginormous Edition, which comes with the bonus animated film, B.O.B.'s Big Break, and the Blu-ray edition. Each edition will also come with four pairs of 3-D glasses, although we don't have pricing details on each edition as of yet. The film stars the voices of Reese Witherspoon, Kiefer Sutherland, Hugh Laurie, Seth Rogen and Will Arnett.

When Susan Murphy (Reese Witherspoon) is unexpectedly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall and is instantly labeled a "Monster" named Ginormica. The military jumps into action, and she is captured by General W.R. Monger (Kiefer Sutherland) and held in a secret government
