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

Blethyn Pays Back 50 Year Library Fine

26 February 2009 4:05 AM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

British actress Brenda Blethyn opened a new library in her hometown - then paid a fine for a book she borrowed 50 years ago.

The Oscar-nominated star officially launched the new building in Ramsgate, Kent before revealing she had failed to return a book from the old library in 1959.

And she vowed to make amends by paying back the overdue fine to library owners Kent County Council.

Blethyn says, "I used to come to the old library as a child. It is wonderful to see the library open with such style and all this space for chatting, which you couldn’t do in my day.

"I was worried about a library book which was overdue and my dad said: ‘here’s three pence, go take it back.’ On the bus I got a bit peckish so I spent the money on a (biscuit) Wagon Wheel instead. Based on a penny fine a week I have a cheque for the library for £26."

Tilda Loves Peru. And Everyone Else, Too

14 February 2009 6:26 PM, PST | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

Tilda Swinton and her esteemed jury have picked their winners for the Berlinale Festival. The Golden Bear (the top prize) went to The Milk of Sorrow. The movie is being called a "triumphant ode to life" but it sounds gruesome. The title refers to a disease carried in the breast milk of women who were raped.

The photo to the left shows Tilda kissing the hand of the lead actress. That Tilda, she's such a gentleman. Love her! (That's an order from The Film Experience. Not that you needed the shove). If you follow Oscar's foreign film race each year you may recall that the director Claudia Llosa's previous film madeinusa was Peru's submission in 2006. Llosa now seems likely to receive that particular patriotic honor again next fall when Oscar's foreign film official submission list is released.

Breakfast With... the Macleans

3 February 2009 4:12 AM, PST | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news

"Boy, something smells good out there."

A River Runs Through It (1992)

Brad Pitt always did have a great nose. Not only is it beautiful in form but it's fully functional! He's running a little late for an important family meal that seems to consist of huge slices of ham and grits (are those grits?). There's also muffins just out of the oven, pancakes, orange juice, milk and coffee. There's enough food for several families but his mom is Brenda Blethyn and she never exactly undercooks, does she? Food or performances.

"Damn-nation"
