‘Carol’ And Netflix Earn Big Golden Globe Nominations

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 11 Dec 2015 04:29:42 +0000

The Hollywood Foreign Press announced the nominations for the 73th Annual Golden Globes on Thursday morning.

Todd Haynes’ period piece “Carol” (based on the book “The Price of Salt” by Patricia Highsmith), received the most film nominations, with a total of five. The film will go up against “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “The Revenant,” “Room,” and “Spotlight” for Best Motion Picture Drama. “Carol” also received a nod for Best Original Score and Best Director. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, who star in the film, will go head to head in the Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama category.

But that won’t be the only interesting competition during the award show. Christian Bale and Steve Carell both earned acting nominations in a musical or comedy for their work in “The Big Short.” Although Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer didn’t star in a film together, the two new best friends will face off in the Best Performance By an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy category for their work in “Joy” and “Trainwreck,” respectively. We can’t wait to hear some serious smack talk (Or most likely comedic adoration) between these ladies.

On the television front, it seems that streaming services are taking over. Netflix proved to be a force to be reckoned with at the Golden Globes back in 2013 with “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black.” This year, Netflix had more nominations than any network with 8, beating HBO by one nod. But Netflix isn’t the only streaming service that appears. In the category for Best Series, Music or Comedy, Netflix’s “OITNB” will go up against Hulu’s “Casual” and Amazon’s “Transparent” and “Mozart in the Jungle.” The only two nominees from a tradition network are both HBO’s, “Silicon Valley” and “Veep.” It looks as though the “Modern Family” sweep from years past is finally over.

The Golden Globes will be hosted by Ricky Gervais on January 10 on NBC. Check out the full list of nominations below.

First Trailer Released For ‘The Big Short’ Starring Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 25 Sep 2015 04:01:39 +0000

Summer is officially over, which means movie theaters will be full of star studded movies waiting for their Oscar nominations. “The Big Short” is one film that’s received a lot of buzz and many think it’ll be Paramount’s way into the awards.

The Adam McKay (Step Brothers, Anchorman) directed film, starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt, is based on Michael Lewis’ book, “The Big Short: Inside The Doomsday Machine.”

“The Big Short” centers around the four men who predicted the economic collapse in the 2000s- Hedge fund manager Steve Eisman (Carell), Greg Lippmann (Gosling) the Deutsche Bank trader, Scion Capital founder Michael Burry (Bale) and one of the founders of Cornwall Capital, Ben Hockett (Pitt). After their realization of the upcoming crisis, the men make some bold investments and “bet against the banks.” Marisa Tomei, Melissa Leo, and Max Greenfield also star.

Originally the film was set to release in 2016, but after seeing an almost final cut from McKay, Paramount decided to push the date forward to be apart of the award season mix. “The Big Short” will premiere on November 12 as AFI Festival’s closing night gala before it opens in limited theaters on December 11 and wide on December 23.

Check out the trailer below:

Selena Gomez Joins ‘Neighbors 2′ Cast

Rosemary Vega — Fri, 04 Sep 2015 21:04:06 +0000

Selena Gomez has joined the cast of Universal’s “Neighbors 2.” Selena joins Zac Efron, Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Dave Franco for the sequel to 2014’s “Neighbors.” Chloe Moretz is also attached to play a new character. Although the plot for the sequel hasn’t been released, IMDB lists the film’s full title as “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.” Will we be seeing Selena as a sorority girl? Or perhaps more of “Spring Breaker” type? See what we did there?

Selena Gomez has been keeping herself busy. She will be releasing an album on October 9th, titled “Revival,” and has several upcoming films. Selena recently wrapped “The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving,” withe Paul Rudd, “The Big Short,” which stars Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, and Ryan Gosling (just to name a few) and “In Dubious Battle,” directed and starring by James Franco.

The original “Neighbors” brought in $269 million worldwide. Hoping to make that magic again for the sequel is director Nicholas Stoller. Stoller also wrote the film with Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Andrew Jay Cohen and Brendan O’Brien.

“Neighbors 2″ is slated for release on Friday, May 20, 2016
