Politics: Ricky Gervais ruffles some gilded feathers

  • He definitely crossed the line, and some of the things were totally unacceptable. But that’s Ricky.
  • HFPA President Phillip Berk • Ricky Gervais repeatedly said, prior to hosting the Golden Globes last night, that they would “not invite me back.” Boy, was he right. In one of the most awkward yet intriguing award show performances in recent memory, Gervais forced some in the crowd to smile for the cameras whilst being taunted in a way that Robert Downey Jr. called “hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones.”  source

Culture: We live in a world where Sandra Bullock has a real chance at an Oscar

  • If you look at my career, I don’t think anyone would have said one day I can see her up here, no one would have predicted it, especially not me.
  • “The Blind Side” star Sandra Bullock • Regarding her win at the Screen Actors’ Guild awards last night. Bullock, already a winner at the Golden Globes, has a real shot at an Oscar, but don’t tell her that, because she shushed a reporter who tried to do just that. Her career is scattered with romantic roles and “Speed” – not exactly the resume of a perennial awards contender. So this is pretty odd. source

Culture: “Avatar” the superstar of last night’s somber Golden Globes

  • 3D is going to be the future. The one thing ‘Avatar’ could do because of its success – especially its critical success – is give permission to other filmmakers to think of 3D.
  • “Avatar” director James Cameron • Regarding his wins at the Golden Globes last night – including best director and best film drama. The awards show favored crowd pleasers over arthouse flicks – “The Hangover” won best film comedy, and Sandra Bullock’s popular role in “The Blind Side” won best film actress in a drama. But really, Haiti was on the minds of the stars at the awards gala, with many wearing ribbons and giving words of support to the devastated country. source
