Vera Farmiga Gossip

Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla is a good movie, and if you think otherwise, you are entitled to be wrong. It’s a good movie, and it gave us the instantly iconic line, “Let them fight.”  The rebooted monster universe—Kong: Skull Island is part of this franchise—immediately established its penchant for absolutely insane logic as characters take one look at a giant f*ck-off radiation monster and go, Yeah the planet is theirs and we are but ants. Full Story

Officially there must be men’s ones too, but you’ll notice they never get tweeted all over like the women’s ones do. So this year’s Unofficially Emmy Nominees Probably With Few Repeats From Last Year are Julianna Margulies, Vera Farmiga, Sarah Paulson, Claire Danes, Keri Russell, and Jessica Pare. Full Story

Today was the annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon. Notably absent: George Clooney. It’s a non-campaign year for Clooney. Looks like he’s conceding early to Jeff Bridges. But enough of the boys. Let’s talk about our girls. GO Kathryn Bigelow, poised to become the first woman ever to win an Oscar for directing and a movie about war, no less. Full Story

Opens tomorrow. You must go see. Up in the Air has scored a 92% rating among Top Critics on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s considered a major contender during awards season, and this is George Clooney’s best performance. Full Story

For months I’ve been yapping about this girl – Anna Kendrick’s performance in Up In The Air is so impressive, she’s already being buzzed about as a possible Best Supporting Actress nominee, she’s been named one of the Top 25 to watch, and she’ll receive the Rising Star Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival in January. Full Story
