Breathe in, breathe out

05

Such a day in entertainment, with Paulagate occupying far too large a share of "Idol" fans' brains this morning, David Blaine possibly headed for convulsions on "Oprah" this afternoon, and "Iron Man" premiering tonight in Hollywood.

Daytime Emmy Award nominations may not seem to belong on that list, but just check out the breathy coverage over at Gold Derby and you'll soon believe otherwise.

Reege and Kelly willfully snubbed? Outrage! "One Life to Live" but no "Bold and the Beautiful?" How dare they? Susan Lucci turning the press room into her own private VIP hang? Damn that diva!

For the record, as we reported earlier, Regis and Kelly were nominated for best talk show hosts for their morning blab-fest. Their show, on the other hand, was beaten to the punch by "Ellen," "Rachael Ray" and "The View."

The ever curious can find the full list of nominees here and THR's coverage here.

And check back for our reviews on Blaine, where we'll attempt to see if we can watch him for 17 minutes without having a seizure, and "Iron Man," which we're already predisposed to fall in love with. Ah, the thinking man's superhero, played by ironic, sardonic Downey. Heavy comic geek sigh.

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!
