I’ve got Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino on my mind these days. It’s a product of the end-of-year hurrahs for Scorsese’s Hugo. The film goes into the Academy Award ceremonies with 11 Oscar nominations – the most of any film this year – including a Best Director nod for Scorsese. Win or lose, Marty’s on a roll having already taken a Golden Globe for his work on the film, and selection as Best Director by the National Board of Review (the Board also named Hugo Best Picture). And that doesn’t include the film’s placing on any number of critic’s Year’s Best lists.
What does all this have to do with Tarantino? It brings to mind a statement the younger filmmaker had made about Scorsese some years ago.
They’ve always been linked, these two. Tarantino had been anointed by more than a few as “the »

Cable network announces Scorsese at the helm for authorised TV documentary on 'towering and transcendent figure'
The most recent TV documentary about former Us president Bill Clinton was hardly flattering.
Part of E!'s True Hollywood Story strand, All the President's Women examined the events surrounding his famous phrase: "I did not have sexual relations with that woman," and focused primarily on his experiences with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
So Clinton will no doubt be considerably happier to be the subject of a new, authorised, documentary by Martin Scorsese.
HBO announced Monday that Scorsese will produce and direct a film on a somewhat broader span of the 42nd Us president's life – from his Arkansas childhood to his current campaigning work.
"A towering figure who remains a major voice in world issues, President Clinton continues to shape the political dialogue both here and around the world," Scorsese said in a statement. »

Per The New York Times, Scorsese will direct and produce a documentary about former President Bill Clinton for HBO. The project has Clinton’s full cooperation, and our 42nd President released the following statement: “I am pleased that legendary director Martin Scorsese and HBO have agreed to do this film.

Martin Scorsese might be 70, a time when a good many men decide to quit and rest on their laurels – and no one would blame him, now would they? Instead, though, Uncle Marty keeps on working at a breakneck speed. We have The Wolf of Wall Street coming up, that Sinatra biopic we keep hearing about, Scandinavian thriller The Snowman, reteaming with Robert DeNiro for I Heard You Paint Horses, not to mention several documentaries and a Garth Brooks concert movie. That makes me tired just thinking about it.
Now today we learn that Scorsese will produce and direct a documentary about Bill Clinton for HBO. The full press release says it best, so here we go:
New York, Dec. 17, 2012 – HBO and Martin Scorsese will partner for a documentary spotlighting William Jefferson Clinton, 42nd President of the United States, it was announced today by Richard Plepler, recently named CEO, HBO and Michael Lombardo, »

Well if you hadn't really heard of Homeland prior to this weekend, you probably have by now. The Showtime series pulled off a major upset at the 64th Annual Emmy Awards last night, winning a large chunk of the major awards in the Drama category over favourites like Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones. Claire Danes and Damian Lewis both took home awards for Lead Actress and Actor in a Drama Series, while the show also broke Mad Men's four-year win streak for Outstanding Drama Series. Elsewhere, Aaron Paul won his second Emmy for his supporting performance as Jesse Pinkman on Breaking Bad, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus won Best Lead Actress in a Comedy for Veep. Modern Family still took the Outstanding Comedy Series, however, while the HBO movie Game Change took the Outstanding Mini-Series or TV Movie. Kevin Costner did manage to pick up some »

Homeland and Modern Family were the big winners at this year's Emmys! Jimmy Kimmel hosted the show, opening with a cute monologue that boasted tons of stars like Zooey Deschanel, Mindy Kaling, and Lena Dunham (just to name a few). As the show went on, we were treated to Josh Groban covering One Direction, Breaking Bad getting the old-timey treatment, and Aziz Ansari showing off an impressive British accent. As for the winners, Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet, and Aaron Paul all added their second trophies to their cases, while Damian Lewis was among the first-time winners. One of the biggest shocks of the night was that Mad Men was completely shut out for the first time ever, and Bryan Cranston lost out in the outstanding lead actor in a drama series category for the first time ever. Check out all of the winners when you read more. Outstanding Drama Series »
