No Country: not DGA's only drama

79275472

Skip one awards show and see what happens -- we completely missed out on Sean Young's meltdown at Saturday night's DGA event.

Sounds like it would've been considerably more entertaining than watching "Rambo," but we felt like taking in a bodies-stacked-up-like-cord-wood action flick. Others agreed with us -- movie took in $18.2 million, well on its blood-soaked way to profitability.

Incidentally, our prediction that this would be Stallone's last turn as an uzi-toting mercenary (with a righteous heart of gold!) was proven wrong with a statement today from Harvey Weinstein to the L.A. Times: "This augurs well for another chapter in the 'Rambo' story." We'll take that as a threat.

But back to the real threat -- invited guest Sean Young, her fur coat, her loud heckling, singing and Franglaise made a real impression at the DGA Awards. Check Kris Tapley's Red Carpet District for some insight into the scene where Young reportedly was tossed out of the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza after insulting Julian Schnabel (pictured) as he tried to talk on stage about his nomination for directing "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." She managed to upstage him in the obnoxious category. Is there some kind of award for that? Butt-hitting-the-door doesn't really qualify.

Defamer follows with more. All worthy reads on a gloomy Monday morning here in L.A. on our Eighth Consecutive Rain Day And the Surliness That Brings Out in All of Us. Not sure if that's Young's excuse, but she can try.

Oscar Contenders

  • Sure, it's too early to call the Oscar race. And you're point would be...

    Always ones to jump the gun, here are our Premature Predictions for best picture.

    "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett; John Patrick Shanley's "Doubt;" the historical biopic "Milk;" and a couple of underdogs, second-highest-grossing film ever, "The Dark Knight" and rags-to-riches tale, "Slumdog Millionaire."

    Chances are better than good that this prelim list will change as the films roll out, make or don't make boxoffice bank, and thrill or don't thrill audiences and Academy voters.

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

Picture this

  • You gotta have faith. And we do, in Grammy winning pop star with impulse control issues George Michael, who just performed recently for the first time in the Middle East. Hey, what's up, Abu Dhabi? Fellow Grammy holder Alicia Keys opened the show. (Getty Images)
