Cate Blanchett: TV Guide News

New Indiana Jones to Premiere at Cannes | Movie News | 4/24/2008
I wonder if TVGuide.com would want to send someone (me!!!) to cover this awesome event. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, which runs from May 14-25. Thierry Fremaux, the festival's head, said the presence of Steven Spielberg and the stars of the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones film franchise, which will premiere outside the main competition, would ensure "a magnificent red carpet," reported Reuters. Mega-stars Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett and director-producers Spielberg and George Lucas are expected to attend.The red carpet will also sizzle with the likes of Scarlett Johanson, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem who will be promoting their Woody Allen film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Other highly anticipated premieres include Clint Eastwood's The Changeling with Angelina Jolie, and Steven Soderbergh's four-hour epic, Che, based on the life of the revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara. Gee, seems as though... read more

As anticipation for this Sunday's 80th Academy Awards grows, some Oscar fans just can't help looking back. In a survey by Parade magazine, readers were asked to pinpoint the most memorable moments from the show's 80-year history as well as sound off on this year's races. Categories included everything from most memorable acceptance speech — which went to Sally Field's "You like me right now!" declaration — to the viewers' preferred host of the annual event, where Billy Crystal was the landslide winner.Richard Gere and Sandra Bullock came away as the fans' favorite actor and actress to never receive an Oscar nod, while (shocker, not!) 69 percent of readers want the acceptance speeches cut shorter. Looking toward this weekend's ceremony, George Clooney (Michael Clayton) and Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth: The Golden Age) are your picks in the lead-acting contests, while No Country for Old Men has the viewers' support for best picture.

Oscar Surprises, Part 2: Blanchett, Mortensen, Hal Holbrook and More! | Ask FlickChick | 1/22/2008
A surprising number of movies had to make do with single nominations in the major categories:Viggo Mortensen picked up a best-actor nom as an icy Russian Gangster in David Cronenberg's brutal thriller Eastern Promises, ditto Johnny Depp for Tim Burton's gothic adaptation of Stephen Sondheim's musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Sentimental favorite Hal Holbrook, 82 (he'll be 83 by the time the ceremony takes place), took a best supporting actor nomination for Sean Penn's Into the Wild, based on Jon Krakauer's nonfiction account of a troubled young man's search for meaning that eventually takes him deep into the unforgiving Alaskan wilderness. It was also ignored in all other major categories despite strong reviews for Penn's direction and adapted screenplay, as well as Emile Hirsch's performance in the lead role. Audiences failed to warm to the film. Much-loved veteran character actress Ruby Dee, 83, got the only nomination — for best-supporting actress... read more
