Charming, fast-talking Marty Kaan and his crack team of management consultants know how to play the corporate game better than anyone, by using every dirty trick in the book to woo powerful CEOs and close huge deals. In the boardrooms, barrooms, and bedrooms of the power elite, corruption is business as usual and everyone's out for themselves first. Nothing is sacred in this scathing, irreverent satire of corporate America today. Outrageous, subversive, and wildly funny, "House Of Lies" stars Academy Award® nominee Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell.

Weekend Review: TCM Goes to the Oscars, Sherlock's "Last Vow"

"It's a room full of excitement. It's a room full of sweat," recalls Ellen Burstyn, who won her Oscar in 1975 for Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. "It's your bar mitzvah times a million," says director-writer Jason Reitman, a four-time nominee (Up in the Air, Juno) who remembers getting over his loss with a post-show visit to In-N-Out Burger. (My kind of guy.) "It's a bit like being in a car crash. Everything slows down, everything goes into slow motion," Helen Mirren reflects on the moment her name was read when she won in 2007 for The Queen.

Inside TV's Expensive Emmy Campaign Machine

If Emmy gold could be cashed in for big ratings, then AMC's Mad Men and NBC's 30 Rock would be the most popular shows in the land. That's clearly not the case — yet the competition for an Emmy nomination, let alone a win, has never been fiercer or more expensive. Nominating ballots were due yesterday as Academy of Television Arts & Sciences voters made their picks for this year's Emmy contenders. It's just the latest pit stop on the road to Emmy gold, as talent (and more likely, their reps) now take a breather and wait to see if their hard work is rewarded with nominations, which will be announced on July 19.

Adding fuel to the fire, Christina calmly asks Jesse: "Aren't you glad that you have the only sober coach up here?" Irony! 12.
