Welcome to Gold Rush

Hollywood gears up for a major self-love-fest, star-struck fans everywhere watch and wonder (who the heck is Marion Cotillard?) and we launch a blog. Cue confetti!

Welcome to the premiere of Gold Rush, a blog dedicated to entertainment industry awards year-round. We’ll be neck-deep in the Oscars for the foreseeable future, keeping track of the buzz, the campaigns, the prognosticating (we’ll call that section Handicapable because we’re just correct like that), and all the gritty and glamorous hubbub that leads up to the Big Event in February.

We likey feedback, whether you agree with us or not, so let it rip. Talk back to our posts, challenge us to a duel, or give us some original intell about that filmmaker Q&A, talent appearance or matinee you snuck into for free. We’re happy to listen and, of course, secretly judge you based on whether you prefer subtitles to the Scott brothers.

You can email me directly at tellestanley@yahoo.com

Happy reading, and we hope to see on the red carpet.

Oscar Contenders

  • So "The Dark Knight" didn't make it into the final five after all, never mind that critical and popular support. Let's just call the comic-inspired mega-hit "The Biggest Snubee."

    Here are the best picture contenders in a race that, two weeks away from the Oscars, seems to be a foregone conclusion ("Slumdog") unless there's a come-from-behind possibility ("The Reader" anyone?)

    "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett; the politically timely "Milk;" rags-to-riches fairy tale, "Slumdog Millionaire," Holocaust best-seller-based drama "The Reader," and Watergate-era biopic "Frost/Nixon."

    Could "Button" and "Slumdog" split the vote, allowing another film to take the prize? Doesn't seem likely. After having clung to "Button" for months as what we thought would be the Academy voters' top vhoice, our money's now on "Slumdog." Momentum can't be ignored.

    Watch this blog for updates, ephemera and all manner of postulating.

Picture this

  • Mmmmm, chocolate Oscar. Not every star will walk away from the 81st annual Academy Awards with a trophy, but if they hit the high-profile Governor's Ball they can have pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted candy version. Also on the menu from celeb chef Wolfgang Puck is tuna tartare in sesame miso cones, chopped Chino Farms vegetable salad with ginger soy vinaigrette, Maine lobster and caviar. Serve it up!
