"Up in the Air" star Vera Farmiga was nominated for an Oscar last night in the Best Supporting Actress category. Mo'Nique had that one pretty much locked up of course, but Farmiga was still out on the red carpet last night to celebrate both her own work and that of her peers.
One of her upcoming projects is "Source Code," a sci-fi flick from "Moon" director Duncan Jones (the most criminally underrated film of 2009). And given how excellent "Moon" was, MTV's Josh Horowitz had to ask Farmiga if we can expect more of the same in his sophomore effort.
"I can't tell you much," she said after confirming that she starts shooting in April. Read More...
Those of you readers with a love of film and access to BBC American might have caught the 2010 BAFTA -- British Academy of Film and Television Arts -- Awards yesterday. It's even possible that you read about the winners before seeing the ceremony, as the BBC-A broadcast aired a couple of hours after the live show.
And so we reach the end of 2009. It's been quite a year for movies, hasn't it? Records were broken, vampires continued to sparkle and the game was presumably changed. 
The 2010 Golden Globe nominations hit this morning. As per usual, this triggered a stream of reactions from celebrities and the press that covers them. You can't have an awards show without a little bit of post-nomination griping. Which of course paves the way for post-win griping. As you might expect, eyes are primarily focused on the Globes' two biggest categories: Best Drama and Best Comedy/Musical. So that's the first one we're going to consider too: what's right, what isn't, who's deserving, who's notably absent... 
The nominations for the 2010 Golden Globes were released this morning. We knew they were coming of course, but that didn't stop the surprises. MTV's Eric Ditzian 
As you know, here on eBay Prop-Watch I usually try to bring you cool auctions for... well... props! Today is a bit different however. In honor of the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing, I've decided to highlight an object that is even rarer than anything I've shared here on Prop-Watch thus far.
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo moon landing. Conspiracy theorists who have been crying "hoax!" for the past four decades may not be terribly excited, but everyone else should be able to appreciate the significance of this momentous event. We went into space people! And landed on another planet! ANOTHER PLANET!!
I have to say, I am very surprised by this week's Box Office Poll numbers. I'm tabulating the results a bit earlier than usual, so there's still a few hours for things to turn around before the poll closes of course. As things stand right now however, the weekend indie offering of "

Missed Oscar Nominations: Is 'Moon' The Most Criminally Underrated Film Of 2009?
Posted 2/2/10 2:00 pm EST by Adam Rosenberg in Commentary
Part of the problem with "Moon" -- for awards-giving folk and wide audiences alike -- is that it's difficult to sum up the key points without spoiling any major plot details. The basic setup isn't nearly enough of a draw: Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is a mining technician stationed on Earth's moon. The only company he has is a facility-controlling artificial intelligence called GERTY (Kevin Spacey). The story opens as Sam's stay is approaching its end, until an accident occurs which leads to some surprising revelations about how things really work at the mining facility. Read More...
