FEINBERG & Buddies, Episode 3: Scott & Hollywood News' Sean O'Connell around the Honours Race (Audio)

Vital I'm happy to create the third episode of "Feinberg & Buddies," a podcast which will air around the Race each week, usually on Tuesdays. Each episode includes a discussion between me along with a different guest -- a movie blogger, critic or journalist of one other variation -- about 10 different honours-related subjects (which we'll list within the text associated the audio to ensure that you realize precisely what you're registering for) and can last roughly half an hour (to ensure that if a person subject isn't of particular interest to you it'll simply be around three minutes before we're onto the next, which hopefully is going to be). PHOTOS: Steven Spielberg's 'The Adventures of Tintin: Secret from the Unicorn' I had been delighted that my pal Sean O'Connell, who runs the "Honours Alley" blog for HollywoodNews.com as well as adds to many other sites, decided to join me with this episode. I truly loved our chat, throughout which we addressed the next 10 subjects: 1. The 2 greatest honours developments now, so far: (a) the well-received debut from the Adventures of Tintin, the motion-capture/animated film directed by Steven Spielberg and created by Jackson, which in fact had its first press screening working in london in front of its Paris debut and (b) the ongoing success from the Artist, which won the crowd award in the Hamptons Worldwide Film Festival, that is attended by many people industry associates, including Academy voters. 2. If all the remaining "question-mark movies" -- War Equine, Very Noisy and extremely Close, J. Edgar, The Lady using the Dragon Tattoo, and Youthful Adult -- end up being disappointing when they're finally tested, which from the other films that we view could be most strongly situated to win best picture? Quite simply, what's the most powerful contender that we understand about already? The Artist? Moneyball? Night time in Paris? The Assistance? Another thing? 3. Can The Tree of Existence, Carnage, or other film by having an ensemble cast/with no obvious lead (or at best a obvious shot at obtaining a lead nomination) effectively argue -- like Bullets Over Broadway (1994) or Babel (2006) years back -- that of every of their cast people should be thought about within the supporting groups? 4. Are Mess Tailor Soldier Spy and -- to some lesser extent -- The Ides of March really too wise for his or her own good if this involves honours contention? Will voters who crave escapsim instead of intellectual stimulation -- i.e. individuals who guaranteed The Blind Side a best picture Oscar jerk -- have the ability to wrap their heads around films that actually make sure they are think? 5. Will the very best supporting actress category feature two nominees in the same film gain for that 4th year consecutively, a la Doubt (2008), Up in mid-air (2009), and also the Fighter (2010)? The Descendants's youthful star Shailene Woodley has appeared just like a pretty solid wager gain a jerk since the film opened in Telluride, but buzz has additionally been building since that time on her co-star Judy Greer, that has merely a couple of minutes of screen time, only one particularly effective scene that may certainly land her a Beatrice Straight (Network)/Viola Davis (Doubt)-type jerk of her very own. 6. Now, the Academy launched its list of all the films posted for the best language film Oscar. Did any nations surprise us by picking obscure films over popular ones, as was the situation recently with several films, including Sweden's Let the correct one In (2008) and also the Girl using the Dragon Tattoo (2010)? Possibly Pedro Almodovar's Your Skin My Home Is? And, of individuals which were posted, which turn to function as the most powerful challengers to really make it to the short-list and face the Academy's eccentric language sub-committee? 7. Of the year's many worthy "little" movies -- included in this, Constantly, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Take Shelter, Drive, Mutually Beneficial, and Tyrannosaur -- which stand the very best possibility of signing up in a single category or any other using the Academy? And where? 8. Of the year's "bigger" movies -- including Super 8, Harry Potter and also the Deathly Hallows -- Part 2, Hugo, and also the Girl using the Dragon Tattoo -- that have the very best shot of snagging nods outdoors from the tech groups? 9. Is really a best actress nomination for Glenn Close (Albert Nobbs) because a sure-factor as numerous people appear to believe that it is? The film isn't invoking passionate support in lots of circles, and, where it's, a lot of it's restricted to best supporting actress hopeful Jesse McTeer. And, if Close does not result in the final five, who'll fill the 2 spots not occupied by -- most probably -- Viola Davis (The Assistance), Michelle Williams (My Week with Marilyn), and Meryl Streep (The Iron Lady)? 10. Is better actress hopeful Ellen Barkin (Another Happy Day) helping or sabotaging her prospects of acquiring her first Oscar jerk together with her -- pardon the expression -- "f*ckin'" Twitter rampage? We went longer than half an hour now, but It was in history wisely spent. You are able to decide upon yourself by tuning in below... NOTE: We welcome your constructive feedback relating to this week's edition and subject recommendations for in a few days's edition within the comments section below.

'Once Upon A Time' Executive Producers Would Love to Have Lady Gaga on Their Show

ABC NY - Hollywood's recent focus on fairy tale-themed projects fits in with people's need for stories that provide hope in difficult times, the creators and executive producers of ABC's upcoming Once Upon A Time, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (Lost, Tron: Legacy), said here Friday at NY Comic Con. They also discussed parallels of their new series, which debuts later this month, and hit show Lost, on which they previously worked as writers and co-executive producers, and said they would love Lady Gaga to appear on their new show. Kitsis said his team tried to get Lady Gaga to make an appearance in Once Upon A Time, but he said he wasn't sure if the request really reached her. "We'd be so happy to have her," he said. He didn't detail what role she could play. PHOTOS: Fall TV's 12 Most Anticipated Shows In Once Upon A Time, fairy tales and the modern world collide, and classic characters get reimagined. "There is something comforting about these stories," said Kitsis when asked about a recent slew of fairy tale-based Hollywood product, such as Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots and others. In these "difficult times," fairy tales "give people hope," he added. Kitsis also pointed out that Snow White and the Seven Dwarves originally came out in 1937 following the Great Depression. The duo said that they originally pitched the project without much success when they were younger and had fewer credits, but following the success of Lost they got the chance to do it. "When we were doing Lost, this idea was sitting in our heads the whole time," Horowitz recalled. PHOTOS: 10 Showrunners to Watch in 2012 Asked about parallels between Once Upon A Time and Lost, Kitsis said similar to Lost, the new show goes back and forth between different times or worlds - in this case between the fairy tale and current worlds - with each episode focusing on one character. The discussion also mentioned that Once Upon A Time features a clock that is frozen at 8:15 - while Lost featured a mysterious series of numbers that also included 8 and 15. In another connection between the shows, Lost alumnus Alan Dale, who played Charles Widmore, will appear in episode six as a character's father, the producer duo said. ABC ordered 13 episodes of the show for now. "We have very big ideas" for the characters and where they could go," Horowitz said, adding the duo was looking to make the show as compelling as possible to maybe earn an extended run. Kitsis said Lost may have been a hit, but "We have to earn [a longer run]...This is a new thing." The producers didn't want to compare their show with NBC's Grim, which also has a fairy tale theme. "I haven't seen Grim yet," Kitsis said. "This is our version" or take on bringing fairy tales into today's time. Email: Georg.Szalai@thr.com Twitter: @georgszalai ABC Once Upon A time Lost

Can Robert Downey Junior. Handle Three Franchises?

It is said if you want to visit done, you have to supply the task to someone who's already busy. Maybe that describes the sale introduced earlier Wednesday for Robert Downey Junior. to possibly star in the lately-launched 'Perry Mason' movie franchise. For people keeping score in your house, this is actually the actor's third active franchise, after 'Iron Man' and 'Sherlock Holmes.' Which made us question: does RDJ truly have time to star in three huge blockbuster franchises simultaneously? Is he disbursing themselves too thin? Should we applaud him for his ambitious organizing or disdain him for monopolizing the limited pool of franchise material readily available for fortysomething stars? Maybe he could share the wealth slightly? Ultimately, it's tough to consider Perry Mason without imagining Raymond Burr, the plus-size actor who carried out the lawyer/sleuth for several years on tv. However, who among current stars is imposing and charming enough to wield Burr's brief-situation? Russell Crowe might display the menacing bulk, while not always the nimble intellect the other way round for George Clooney. The slight Downey can't match Burr's physique, but he's an in-your-face physical presence (see his bare-chested fight scene in 'Sherlock Holmes') together with the mental agility. Maybe Warner Bros. really did cast the most effective actor for your role and not one who's around the current hot streak. It is not unequalled for just about any star to own two franchises going simultaneously. The epic-length shoot of 'The Our god in the Rings' trilogy will be a haven for stars moonlighting off their synchronised franchises -- Ian McKellen ('X-Men'), Congressman Congressman Christopher Lee (the 'Star Wars' prequels), Hugo Weaving ('The Matrix'). Still, not since Harrison Ford alternated 'Star Wars' movies with Indiana Manley adventures shall we be seen an actress getting a number one role in a number of franchise at any time. Really, Downey's only rival for schedule-stacking at this time around among leading males is Difficulties, which has both Jason Bourne and 'Dragon Tattoo' franchises going. He's also in the third potential franchise launcher, December's 'The Adventures of Tintin,' though he'll be essentially unrecognizable (it's a motion-capture animation role) just like a villain who's a little character at finest in the Tintin books. Imagine: if 'Cowboys & Aliens' or 'The Golden Compass' happen to be hits, Craig might have been in five franchises simultaneously. Nonetheless, the 'Perry Mason' deal makes Downey the current king in the blockbuster franchise leading males. It is not apparent when the movie occasion to get made Downey has one or more more appearance as Holmes and a pair of more as Iron Guy to complete first. Still, I guess you ought to be happy for your actor. It was not in the past he was essentially unemployable in movies. Simpler to must much work these days enough.

A Brief History of Eddie Murphy Hating 'SNL'

Rumors are swirling that Eddie Murphy may make a surprise appearance on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend when his 'Tower Heist' co-star Ben Stiller hosts. This will probably not happen. Eddie Murphy absolutely hates 'Saturday Night Live' and has not appeared on the show that made him a star since he hosted back on Dec. 15, 1984. Not only has Murphy never attended the various 'SNL' anniversary shows, but he was also one of only to living cast members (along with Dennis Miller) to refuse to talk with Tom Shales and James Andrew Miller for the excellent book 'Live From NY: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live.' Just in case Murphy does appear this weekend, however, perhaps it's time to take a look back at the history of Eddie Murphy hating 'Saturday Night Live.' 1980 Murphy's tenure at 'SNL' started auspiciously enough. Lorne Michaels, after five years, had left the show along with the entire cast. Jean Doumanian was tapped as Michaels's replacement as executive producer -- a job she would not hold for long, as she oversaw what's regarded as the worst season the show has ever seen -- and set out to hire a brand new cast. Fortunately for Doumanian, a young talent named Eddie Murphy would fall in her lap from pretty much out of nowhere. Unfortunately for Doumanian, she passed on Murphy and instead cast Robert Townsend as "the black guy on the show," as talent coordinator Neil Levy quotes her in 'Live from NY.' Levy goes on to say that he had to threaten to quit in order to get Murphy hired. Which he eventually did -- as a featured player. So, yes: a cast that saw the likes of Robin Duke, Ann Riley and Denny Dillon as full-time members would only include Murphy as a featured player. 1981 After Doumanian was fired, Dick Ebersol took over executive producer duties at 'SNL.' Ebersol realized immediately that the show had a star languishing in the background and immediately put Murphy front and center. During a season that 'SNL' was almost canceled, Murphy put the show on his back. It could be argued that Murphy is the reason that 'SNL' still lives on today. (Hold this thought.) 1982 On Dec. 11, Murphy hosted 'SNL' for the first time. He was already such a star at this point that when Nick Nolte was too sick to host, Murphy -- who was still a cast member -- took over the hosting duties. 1983 After the success of '48 Hours,' Murphy was a bona fide movie star. In an unprecedented move -- one that would never happen under a Lorne Michaels led show -- Ebersol offered Murphy a contract that only required the star of the show to appear live on 10 of the 20 shows. Also an unprecedented move: Murphy was allowed to pre-tape segments that would later run on the live show. 1984 Murphy's last show as a cast member was on Feb. 25, 1984. The host was journalist Edwin Newman. On Dec. 15, 1984, Murphy would return one last time, as host, during Ebersol's last season (nicknamed "The Steinbrenner Season" for all of the already known talent that was hired such as Billy Crystal and Martin Short). It was on this show that "White Like Me," one of the most iconic sketches in the history of 'SNL,' would air. This was the last time Murphy ever appeared on 'SNL' in any capacity. Murphy never worked under either of Lorne Michaels's regimes. The Hollywood Minute Incident David Spade, hosting an early '90s 'SNL' segment during "Weekend Update" called "Hollywood Minute," quipped, "Look children, a falling star," as Eddie Murphy's picture was displayed in the background. Murphy, who is the only reason that 'SNL' didn't find itself canceled during the early 1980s, was furious. In a 1997 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Spade said, "Chris Rock told me, 'Spade, Eddie's got his biggest movie in 10 years, a beautiful wife, and he still can't shake the fact that you took a swipe at him.'" 1999 Eddie Murphy is the only major alumnus who does not attend the 'SNL' primetime 25th anniversary show. 2002 Eddie Murphy and Dennis Miller are the only cast members who refuse to participate in 'Live From NY.' 2011 Murphy co-stars in 'Tower Heist,' a film that could be his first "edgy" comedic role in arguabl, 20 years. His co-star, Ben Stiller, is the host of 'SNL' this weekend -- promoting a film that not only co-stars Murphy, but is directed by Murphy's friend, Brett Ratner. Not only that, Murphy desperately needs a live-action hit -- something that could be helped by the buzz created by a much overdue return to 'SNL.' Whether that actually happens, remains to be seen.
