Lunchtime Poll: Which 'Love Actually' couple ended up staying together the longest?
21 December 2011 10:00 AM, PST | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Have you ever wondered what happened to all the couples from 2003′s Love Actually? I watch it often enough that I’ve spent way too much time thinking about this. ‘Tis the season to watch Love Actually with your family and have to listen — for the thousandth time — about how much your dad hates that sleazebag secretary Mia for ruining Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson’s marriage!
Let’s think about this for real. David and Natalie (Hugh Grant and Martine McCutcheon, pictured) made a great couple in that they were so different, but would their relationship crumble in the national spotlight? »

Golden Globe nominations save 'Enlightened' while 'Hung' gets canceled by HBO
20 December 2011 10:54 AM, PST | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »
Hot on the heels of two Golden Globe nominations, HBO has picked up "Enlightened" for a second season. The ratings-challenged dramedy was a surprising inclusion in the Globes' Best Comedy/Musical Series category while Laura Dern picked up an expected bid for Best Comedy/Musical Actress. Dern -- who won Globes for telefilms "Recount" (2008, supporting) and "Afterburn" (1992, lead) and reaped Emmy nods for both -- could well prevail again this year. She does, however, face a challenge from Zooey Deschanel ("New Girl"). Both actresses compete for new series as did the last two champs: Laura Linney ("The Big C") and Toni Collette ("United States of Tara"). The news from HBO was not all good as Thomas Jane's second consecutive Globe bid for Best Comedy Actor could not save "Hung" from getting the chop after three seasons. Critics and audiences alike failed to embrace this show about a hig »
Burning Questions: Can You Skip the Precursors?
18 December 2011 5:00 AM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Michael C here to take stock of the performers left in the dust by the recent rush of precursors.
With the announcement of the Golden Globes and SAG nominations behind us the first round of the elaborate Kabuki dance known as Precursor Season is concluded. A week ago we could let our imaginations run wild with the possibilities of our favorite performances making good. Now if an actor hasn’t heard his or her name called by either group? Well, as George C. Scott once said to Peter Sellers, their chances have been quickly reduced to a very low order of probability.
So how low is low? What are the chances of a performance getting nominated without a Globe or SAG nomination?
Approximately 1 in 20. That's what my remarkably un-scientific research tells me. For this I took a look at the last 10 years. If you go back too far the stats become less relevant. »

My favourite film: The Truman Show
16 December 2011 7:15 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
David Thomson continues our writers' favourite film series with a look at the Jim Carrey film that changed his – and Truman Burbank's – life
Does this review speak the truth? Write your own version here or escape to the comments world beyond (and below)
What I liked first about The Truman Show when I went to see it in 1998 was knowing so little about it in advance. Had I been sheltered somehow? Or in those days was it possible to come upon a movie like a novice, or a stranger from a remote part of the world? Imagine even if it had been the first film you saw: it might have explained the entire medium!
Against that, once I started watching the picture, I said to myself: "Oh, yes, I know this. I know what this is going to be." I don't mean I had thought of the idea myself, or could have done it, »
