A column chronicling events and conversations on the awards circuit.
As the town takes off for the holidays and comes to a virtual standstill, the Oscar race roars on as eagle-eyed pundits continue to fanatically parse yesterday’s release of the shortlist in 10 categories (3 of them shorts) that could, I said could, give clues as to the ways the Oscar winds are blowing towards the start of nomination voting on January 11.
Meanwhile, the level of Q&As, talk show appearances, various honors announcements coming almost daily from the Palm Springs and Santa Barbara Film Festival, nominations from Golden Globes and Critics Choice, plus invites to parties have kept us hopping ever since the SAG strike ended and actors could once again do what they do best – talk about themselves. By the way, yesterday they announced Jo Koy as the Globes host and that follows the announcement of Chelsea Handler returning...

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne will be making her ballroom debut with a spicy salsa to her own song, "Xxpen$Ive," with Gleb Savchenko.
"It's expensive to be me," Jayne told Et, when asked about the song's vibe in December. "We have some great, new choreography on the way [for the video] that I think is pretty great, we have a drop split, and all kinds of stuff like that."
She's not the only reality star competing this season, however. Fresh off The Bachelor, Nick Viall will be busting out his best...

On Friday, October 1, 2010, veteran television show creator, producer and screenwriter Stephen J. Cannell passed away from complications arising from melanoma. He was 69 years old.
Throughout the 1980s there wasn't a mainstream television viewer that didn't know his name. If you watched The A-Team, 21 Jump Street, Hardcastle & McCormick, Hunter, Wiseguy, The Commish, The Greatest American Hero, Silk Stalkings, Street Justice, Stingray, Tenspeed and Brownshoe, Booker, Black Sheep Squadron, and you watched the show through until its end credits, you saw his name and face appear on your screen. His production company's credit block was him working away on a typewriter and then pulling out the page, tossing it into the air and watching it resolve into the C. for Stephen J. Cannell Productions.
Cannell's TV shows were based in the action genre, but that's not to say that each of them were the same. The A-Team and Hunter could be seen as less based in reality,...

High on action and satire, low in fibre, the latest summer blast-fest comes our way...
Let me warn you now, if you have even the slightest aversion to the words deus ex machina, if disbelief brings with it a taste of bile, if it’s realism you’re after in a film then forget it. The A-Team is a thinking man’s enema. It is, though, without a doubt the world’s greatest spoof film.
Smart, intricate, a step ahead of the game Stephen J Cannell and Frank Lupo’s television series was none of those things. Instead it was humorous, vain, unashamed and explosive. It was cool. The pre-cursor to films such as Die Hard, where a barrage of bullets always just seem to miss its target, The A-Team was one of those TV shows which was so much a part of the public consciousness that even those who abhorred its cigar-chomping,...
