January 3rd, 2008Golden Globes Still in Limbo
January 3rd, 2008Filed under: Awards, Celebrities and Controversy, Newsstand
While it's a new year, the same old back-and-forth continues. Yesterday, there appeared to be a light at the end of the Golden Globes tunnel, as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (or HFPA) sent out a press release claiming to have resumed talks with the WGA in an attempt to get that same sort of interim deal the WGA made with The David Letterman Show and Worldwide Pants, which would allow writers to pen scripts for the Golden Globes ceremony. That deal isn't so much about getting people to write the "witty" banter between stars on stage as it is finding a way to still televise the event and get people to show up.
But HFPA's play-nice propaganda was a bit premature, as the WGA later put out a statement saying they still intend to picket the Globes ceremony as planned: "Dick Clark Productions is a struck company. As previously announced, the Writers Guild will be picketing the Golden Globe Awards. The WGA has great respect and admiration for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, but we are engaged in a crucial struggle that will protect our income and intellectual property rights for generations to come. We will continue to do everything in our power to bring industry negotiations to a fair conclusion. In the meantime, we are grateful for the ongoing support of the talent community."
So where is this heading? Well, most likely the ceremony will not be televised (unless a miracle agreement is reached), and HFPA will cross their fingers and hope that the WGA will not picket if the event is not televised, allowing actors and actresses to attend the ceremony, as well as the more important (and expensive) after parties. And you should care ... why?

Steal this movie
January 2nd, 2008
The London Sunday Times reports that Sacha Baron Cohen has been cast to play Abbie Hoffman in a drama about the trial of the Chicago Seven that Steven Spielberg may direct, from a script by Aaron Sorkin. That is, says Variety, if Spielberg doesn't make his Abraham Lincoln movie first, starring Liam Neeson and based on a Tony Kushner script.
Who's Abbie Hoffman, the younger readers are wondering? Sort of the Sacha Baron Cohen of the late 60s, except with a lot more socio-political importance (or pretentions, if you will). Oh, just read the Wikipedia entry. I'm assuming you know who Lincoln is.
Lindsay Daniels
January 1st, 2008
Lindsay Daniels recently launched her personal site, featuring a moody reel brimming with her decidedly sophisticated stylings. Her work—particularly her typography—has a timeless, classic quality to it that lends it an air of maturity.
Nearly all of the projects on Lindsay’s site and reel are from her time at Digital Kitchen, but now she’s heading up a new venture in Soho (New York) called “Favorite Color.” (Or so a little birdie told me.) Should be interesting. Stay tuned for details.
