Of all the actresses on HBO's “Girls” (Sundays at 10:30 p.m. Et) Zosia Mamet is the least like her character.
“I don’t watch much television,” Mamet, who plays "Sex and the City"-obsessed Shoshanna, told HuffPost TV. “My old TV agent used to always get mad at me because he’d send me out on auditions and I’d be like, ‘What’s this show?’ and he’d be like, ‘It’s literally the top show on television.’ I wasn’t allowed to watch TV as a kid.”
About that childhood: Mamet’s mother is, of course, actress Lindsay Crouse, and her father is writer David Mamet.
“I thought about changing my name when I started working,” Mamet said. “But I was like, ‘Fuck that. It’s my name, I don’t want to change it.’” The actress has been working since she was 17, and has appeared on “Parenthood, »

It has been a year since Sidney Lumet passed away on April 9, 2011. Here is our retrospective on the legendary filmmaker to honor his memory. Originally published April 15, 2011.
Almost a week after the fact, we, like everyone that loves film, are still mourning the passing of the great American master Sidney Lumet, one of the true titans of cinema.

It's those shattered dreams that immediately become the focus after the Oscar nominations are announced. With only five slots per category, deserving actors are excluded, and that's when the fun begins, as the discussion about the "snubs" commences.
That was especially true this year, as a flurry of serious contenders were nowhere to be found. Charlize Theron, Tilda Swinton, Leonardo Dicaprio, and Albert Brooks were the names most bandied about, along with Andy Serkis (and they should really either nominate him, or give him a special Oscar for his unique contributions to film.)
Of course, Oscar has a history of overlooking interesting and memorable performances. Let's take a look at a few notable Oscar omissions. »
