Which way outta here?

79637909

Indie guy needs air. Must. Get. Away. Too many suits and millionaires at pre-Grammy don't-we-all-just-loooove-music affair, where packs of photogs are on hand to capture every appreciative nod and toe tap.

To be fair, we don't really know if Glen Hansard was coming or going from this particular function (the 50 Years of Great Grammy Records bash at Village Recording Studios on Thursday). We just know we're smitten with the Oscar- and double Grammy-nominated Irishman. Let's hear it once again for "Once."

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.
