Gabriel Byrne, Eddie Izzard and James Spader will be among the stars fighting for a Best Drama Actor honour at the Emmy Awards, while pregnant Minnie Driver and Sally Field are favourites for the Best Actress prize.

The quintet has been selected among the 20 semi-finalists on a shortlist.

Driver and Izzard are nominated for The Riches, while Byrne gets a nod for playing a psychiatrist in In Treatment. Boston Legal gave Spader the chance to fight for an Emmy.

Other actors on the top 10 list include Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy), Michael C. Hall (Dexter) and Hugh Laurie (House).

As well as Driver and Field, Patricia Arquette (Medium), Glenn Close (Damages), Mariska Hargitay (Law and Order: Special Victims Unit) and Holly Hunter (Saving Grace) are among those under consideration.

The annual MTV Movie Awards is an event to look forward to not only for the recognition it gives to those flicks that have taken the box office by storm, but also for giving out awards for the more unusual things such as Best Kissing Scene.  This year, the award went to Briana Evigan and Robert Hoffman for their smooch-session in the movie Step Up 2: The Streets. However, before all the festivities for the highly-anticipated awards show began, MTV sat down with the queen of MySpace to talk about the intimacies of lip-locking.

Known for her bisexual love life as featured on A Shot at Love, Tila Tequila may be the best option to consult when it comes to making out.  She says, “A great kiss, which I've had on my show, consists of a lot of exploding passion and just that tension that's been building up...It's like

Before Michelle Monaghan went public with news that she's pregnant with her first child, her Made of Honor costar, Patrick Dempsey was already aware of her condition. "It was a big secret, and I wasn't allowed to tell anyone, but I knew Michelle was pregnant, and I am thrilled for her," Dempsey, 42, told People on Friday – as he prepared to race this weekend in the Six Hours of the Glen Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series at Watkins Glen International in upstate New York. "She will be a great mom because she has a good head on her shoulders, a fine husband,

Oscar-winning director Sydney Pollack has died of cancer. He was 73.

Pollack died on Monday afternoon at his home in Pacific Palisades, Los Angeles surrounded by friends and family. His death follows a ten month battle with the deadly disease.

Pollack won critical acclaim and two Academy Awards for his epic romance Out of Africa starring Robert Redford and Meryl Streep. The 1985 movie garnered a staggering 11 nominations and won seven including Best Picture and Best Director.

He was also famed for directing 1973 classic The Way We Were and 1982's Tootsie starring Dustin Hoffman.

While best remembered as a director, Pollack started out as an actor and continued to perform throughout his career - most recently appearing alongside George Clooney in last year's Oscar-winning picture Michael Clayton and in this year's Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey.

Pollack is survived by his wife Claire, daughters Rebecca and Rachel and six grandchildren.

Hollywood heartthrob Patrick Dempsey almost quit acting before he landed his comeback role in hit TV series Grey's Anatomy - because he was fed up with losing parts as a result of his dyslexia.

The actor made a name for himself in the 1980s starring in movies like Loverboy and Can't Buy Me Love, but his career faltered in the 1990s and he found himself constantly looking for his next big role.

But, despite attending numerous auditions, he kept losing out to his contemporaries because his disability left him struggling to easily read scripts.

And the 42-year-old had just given up trying to build a career in Hollywood when he landed the part of surgeon Dr. Derek 'McDreamy' Shepherd in medical drama Grey's Anatomy.

He says, "Because of my dyslexia I had to memorise all the dialogue for auditions. If I forgot it, I would then have to get over my frustration. If you constantly don't get the part it's very frustrating."

Apparently Ashton Kutcher is taking it on the chin when it comes to being among People's 100 Most Beautiful People – as he was declared in the issue that went on sale last Friday. Showing him the page from the magazine when he appeared on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday, the host asked Kutcher what it was like to be "one of the most beautiful somethings in People magazine." "That's a pre-beard photo," was Kutcher's reaction, also noting that "when I start to grow my beard ... I get notches off" being judged beautiful.

Hollywood actor Patrick Dempsey constantly assures his wife he is sexy - so she feels confident about their relationship.

The Made of Honor star uses reverse psychology to keep their marriage strong - so tells his wife Jillian Fink she is married to a sex symbol to make her feel appreciative.

Dempsey, who has just been named the Sexiest Actor on TV in America, explains, "I let my wife know that I'm sexy all the time. She likes it. It's fun - I enjoy it. It's great for your confidence. And then you look in the mirror and go, `There's the reality'.

"I think if we're out and women are disrespectful to our relationship, it's hard for her. (Women) can be very aggressive and difficult at times, and that's hard. I couldn't handle it as well as she does.

"But I don't take it too seriously, and I do enjoy it."

The romantic comedy Made of Honor will be the only new film opening wide against Iron Man (which opened Thursday night) this weekend. Some critics seem to agree that it represents effective counter-programming. The New York Times's Stephen Holden remarks that the movie "adds tart satirical flavors to a cotton-candy formula without sabotaging the sugar rush." Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel comments that "fortunately ... [the movie] earns enough goodwill in a clever and sexy opening act to carry it through" to the end. Most other critics, however, suggest that it's merely another rendering of the 1997 film My Best Friend's Wedding, with a gender reversal, and one even compares it, unfavorably, with the classic The Philadelphia Story. He is the Toronto Star's Philip Marchand, who remarks that the audience is not likely to show much interest in the principal character, played by Patrick Dempsey. "Somewhere in the shades of Hollywood, the ghost of Cary Grant is shaking his head," Marchand writes. Kyle Smith in the New York Post calls Dempsey's character "a preening yet uptight jerk," and says that the outcome of the movie -- which character will wind up with whom? -- is never in doubt. "Still," he writes, "there was a certain amount of suspense in the air at the screening of Made of Honor: Would Tom and Hannah realize they're perfect for each other at the altar, or would I burn down the theater first?" Desson Thomson frames his review as if he were writing about a freeway accident. "Actors Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan are trapped in the wreckage of a bad romantic comedy. Observers suggest the vehicle in which they were riding was poorly engineered and believed to be constructed of cheap, recycled material. The severity of their injuries is unclear at this time."

Jennifer Love Hewitt and Patrick Dempsey have been named America's sexiest TV stars.

The two actors have claimed alternative covers of TV Guide's Sexiest Stars issue and Love Hewitt's onscreen husband in hit thriller Ghost Whisperer, David Conrad, is far from surprised she is the tops.

He says, "In the three years that we've been filming, there's always a moment when I just go, `Wow, that's a really beautiful woman.'"

Also making the new magazine hot list is Dempsey's Grey's Anatomy co-star star Justin Chambers, along with Vanessa Williams, Taye Diggs, Eva Longoria Parker and Lost bad boy Josh Holloway.

The Tribeca Film Festival is in full swing, but if you don't live in New York, there's no need to fret. No less than three films ("From Within," "Mister Lonely" and "Redbelt") on this list of coming attractions have played the festival in recent days. Then again, if you are in New York and want to catch something outside the fest, there's always that intimate character drama starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow and a red and gold metal suit of armor.

Writer/director Eva J. Aridjis brings us a quiet tale of angst and alienation starring former New York subway busker Ryan Donowho as Johnny, a high school loner who's taken in by Lawrence (Frank Wood), a quiet pet photographer, after his mother (Paige Turco) is killed in an accident. In order to be the father he needs, Lawrence must fight through Johnny's rebellious

Grey's Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey is furious he lost out to Matt Damon in a recent 'World's Sexiest Man' poll.

The 42-year-old claims he keeps fit and eats a healthy diet and is the perfect candidate to beat heartthrobs Damon or George Clooney to the number one position.

Demspey has even vowed to ring the actors to tell them to "step aside" for next year's competitions - because he is so desperate to win.

He tells British magazine Closer, "I think this has to be my year. I'm always pipped to the top by one of those guys. I'm constantly number two.

"I'm going to call George and Matt and tell them to let me have it - they should step aside for one year and let me win. I deserve it because I'm not eating bread or sugar and I'm keeping my hair good too."

Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey feels as much pressure to stay in shape as Hollywood's leading ladies, and often compares himself to his own hot co-stars.

The married father-of-three admits it is a struggle not to let the pressure of body-conscious Hollywood get to him.

The actor, 42, says, "I'm not (Grey's Anatomy co-star) Eric Dane. He is in perfect shape. I definitely have pec envy. There's a lot of pressure being a man in this town."

He adds, "People are seeing a fantasy. It's not necessarily me, but it does help your ego. Look, I know TV is a visual medium, so of course I want to be in shape, but I don't want to be ripped.

"I let my wife know that I'm sexy all the time."
