Oscar Alert: Julia and Judi, and Meryl Too

20 May 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in August: Osage County: Duel of the Oscar winners [See previous post: "Oscar 2014 Watch: Harvey Weinstein Cannes Film Festival Coming Attractions."] More Oscar 2014 bait: August: Osage County, directed by John Wells, and starring three-time Oscar winner Meryl Streep (Kramer vs. Kramer, Sophie’s Choice, The Iron Lady) and Oscar winner Julia Roberts (Erin Brockovich). Is it mere coincidence that Streep’s seventeenth Oscar nomination and third win was for her portrayal of British prime minister Margaret Thatcher in Phyllida Lloyd’s The Iron Lady — distributed by The Weinstein Company two years ago? Either way, Streep’s Oscar 2014 competition should be fierce, as Julia Roberts doesn’t seem to be wearing any makeup in the family drama. (Photo: Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts in August: Osage County.) Adapted by Tracy Letts from his own play, besides Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts, August: Osage County also features Oscar nominee Juliette Lewis (Cape Fear), Dermot Mulroney, Star Trek Into DarknessBenedict Cumberbatch, »

Juno Temple Is Becoming the Hardest-Working Newbie in Show Business

31 March 2013 6:10 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

It all started with an act of parental guidance gone awry. A then-14-year-old Juno Temple had just told her father, British film director Julien Temple, and her mother, producer Amanda Temple, that she wanted to be an actress. Her parents, hoping to spare her a life of endless auditioning, decided to teach her a lesson. “They handed me a paper and said, ‘Here’s an open audition. Go try out and see how many other girls want to act,’ ” the actress, now 23, recalls. “Then,” as she puts it, “the craziest shit happened.” The movie was called Notes on a Scandal, and she got the part of Cate Blanchett’s daughter. Soon afterward, she tried out for a part in Atonement, opposite Keira Knightley. She booked that, too.And just like that, Temple was a professional actress, with parts in five films released last year, including The Dark Knight Rises »

Quad Released For Belfast Music Movie ‘Good Vibrations’

26 February 2013 7:30 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

I love good music-based movie, some of my all-time favourites include The Commitments, Almost Famous and the superbly soundtracked High Fidelity. Today we have the first quad for Belfast-based Good Vibrations which recreates the story of Belfast music legend Terri Hooley, the man responsible for discovering The Undertones and recording Teenage Kicks, the song that was championed by cult music-king John Peel. The film follows the life of Hooley and how it gave the alternative music a chance to flourish in Belfast during the darkest days of Northern Ireland’s Troubles. Richard Dormer (Five Minutes Of Heaven) stars alongside Jodie Whittaker (Attack The Block).

Terri Hooley is a radical, rebel and music-lover in 1970s Belfast, when the bloody conflict known as the Troubles shuts down his city. As all his friends take sides and take up arms, Terri opens a record shop on the most bombed half-mile in Europe and calls it Good Vibrations. »

Emmanuelle Riva: The True Sleeper Nominee Of Oscar Night?

5 February 2013 10:20 PM, PST | Scott Feinberg | See recent Scott Feinberg news »

By Joey Magidson

***

We’ve been paying a lot of attention to Argo of late in regard to the Oscars, but there are some big races that don’t involve Ben Affleck’s film. Most notably, there’s a competitive Best Actress race going on.

Many pundits have made it out to be a competition between Jessica Chastain and Jennifer Lawrence, with the latter far out in the lead. While I agree that the Silver Linings Playbook actress is certainly ahead of her Zero Dark Thirty competitor, I do think she has to watch out for Emmanuelle Riva in her rear-view mirror. The sleeper candidate from Amour may just wake everyone up on Oscar night and steal the trophy.

Riva is immensely deserving of her nomination, but up until recently, it didn’t seem like many thought she had a legitimate shot at a win. I’ll confess »

Sundance star Juno Temple to play Princess Margaret in royal film

19 January 2013 9:29 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

Juno Temple cast in role of young princess after parts as lesbian werewolf and 1970s prostitute

The Queen's late sister, Princess Margaret, has gone down in history as a fun-loving woman with a penchant for parties. But the royal family probably never expected to see her portrayed on screen by a young English actress who has made her name playing an American serial killer beauty queen, a 1970s prostitute, a lesbian werewolf and an abused teenager from a Texas trailer park.

The actress, Juno Temple, 23, also happens to be the daughter of renegade movie-maker Julien Temple, director of the Sex Pistols film, The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle. Her aunt, Nina Temple, was the last secretary of the Communist Party of Great Britain, and she is the granddaughter of another notable British communist, Landon Temple.

Sundance 2013: Juno Temple holds on by a thread in 'Magic Magic' -- Exclusive Poster

17 January 2013 6:00 AM, PST | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

In Magic Magic, Juno Temple and Emily Browning play best friends whose rendezvous in the Chilean countryside with some boys takes a turn for the worse when Temple’s Alicia is plagued by insomnia. Chilean writer-director Sebastián Silva has teased that it’s a disturbing psychological thriller that is meant to confuse the audience, so it’s a perfect movie for the Park City at Midnight slate at the Sundance Film, Festival, which begins today.

For Temple, who has three films at this year’s festival, playing unbalanced, unpredictable women is becoming something of a hobby. Her father, Julien, is »

BAFTA has revealed its nominees for this year's Ee Rising Star Award.

Alicia Vikander, Andrea Riseborough, Elizabeth Olsen, Juno Temple and Suraj Sharma have all been acknowledged for their breakout year in 2012.

'Kidulthood' star Adam Deacon scooped the trophy in 2012, seeing off competition from an all-male list of nominees including Chris Hemsworth, Chris O'Dowd, Eddie Redmayne and Tom Hiddleston.

Here's more on this year's nominees. Who do you think should win?
