Giants-Cowboys Score Big, and Other Short Cuts

This season's inaugural telecast of NBC's Sunday Night Football — in which Dallas bested the New York Giants 45-35 — averaged a 13.6 in household ratings, down 10 percent from last year's series opener but more than doubling the audience of any network rival.... Joan Rivers is at it again, serving up fact- and insight-challenged commentary on Sunday's red-carpet Emmy arrivals via a blog at VH1EyeCandy.com.... Speaking of kudos-casts, Gil Cates will for a 14th time helm the Oscars, this time marking the show's 80th anniversary and airing Feb. 24 on ABC.

Stones "Cast" as Oscar Controversy Heats Up

Who is keeping a much-deserved category out of the annual gold-grab, and why? The Casting Society of America, whose efforts have long been overlooked by the Academy Awards, has launched an e-mail campaign urging AMPAS to add a category to the annual kudoscast. "I've been fighting for it for over 30 years," CSA president Mike Fenton (who has cast such films as Godfather II and E.T.) tells the New York Daily News. Alas, the way the Academy sees it, directors theoretically have "final say" on who fills what roles. As such, the Directors Guild is wont to squash the CSA's bid. "It's a very sensitive issue," helmer Taylor Hackford tells the News. "[Talk of a casting category] will cause dissension in the ranks."

California Girl Bares All in Front of Oscars' Millions

Sunday night on international television, Lindsay Miller, a 22-year-old California native, appeared alongside the biggest film stars in the world — in the nude. As the winner of a Dove contest that called for real people to submit homemade commercials about real beauty, Miller had her 30-second spot introduced by Grey's Anatomy star Sara Ramirez during the Academy Awards telecast. The ad featured the recent college grad and aspiring film editor singing and dancing in the shower — a bold endeavor, considering she was sudsing up in front of many millions of viewers. "I probably thought it wouldn't get to the point where a good portion of America was seeing it all at once, and that it wouldn't make it any farther than my video camera," Miller admits. "But now that it has, I'm thrilled for what it represents." To see the contest's top 10 ads, go to DoveCreamOil.com. — Reporting by Rebecca Paley

Road the Oscars

8:22: Mark Wahlberg is looking trim. Apparently, once you work with Martin Scorsese, you can call him Marty from then on.8:23: Odd that the editor from Lucky who has interviewing rights is wearing a dress that a) isn't flattering and b) looks like an Easter egg.8:24: Here's some trivia that's been floating around since the nomination announcements: Kate Winslet is the youngest actress to receive five Oscar nominations (in case you hadn't heard). 8:26: Talley is summing up his fashion faves, but I'm distracted by the rolling of his tongue as he pronounces names. As for my top picks of the night: Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lopez, Cate Blanchett, Emily Blunt, Rinko Kikuchi and Maggie Gyllenhaal. On with the show!

Road to the Oscars

8:12: This is our second look at Penélope. Apparently she aspires to become a photographer. You can be anything you want in that dress. 8:13: Andre Leon Talley is an awkward interviewer! You can inch a little closer to the stars — you are the Vogue editor-at-large.8:14: Cameron Diaz speaks about all her friends she's rooting for, but I'm noticing her emerald drop earrings. 8:15: Whatever made Lisa Ling choose that dress is beyond me, but I guess she wants to feel playful after all the serious reporting she does on an everyday basis, so I'll lay off. 8:16: Cate Blanchett looks like she's wearing a constellation. It's a starry, starry night in Hollywood, and she defines Oscar. She is definitely making the list.8:18: I was right! Ryan Gosling's got his sister and mom at his side, and the scruffy nominee is as humble as ever. 8:19: We just got a pre-commercial shot of Reese Witherspoon. Va-va-voom!
