Finally after being in the industry since the late 1970′s, Gary Oldman got the Oscar nomination that he should have received easily more than a few times so far in his career. When the Academy Award nominees were announced yesterday, Oldman found himself in the Best Actor category for his role in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. But why did it take so long for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to acknowledge this phenomenal actor?

Tune in for tonight’s special episode of the Hunger Games Fireside Chat, airing at 10 p.m. EST. We’ll be discussing the latest decisions and rumors: Donald Sutherland as President Snow, splitting the books into four films, and whether there’ll be a steamy love triangle.

‘The Hunger Games’ Needs to Avoid a Big ‘Twilight’ Love Triangle

'The Hunger Games' Needs to Avoid a Big 'Twilight' Love Triangle

Life & Style claims to have obtained a copy of the Hunger Games script and says that co-writers Gary Ross and Suzanne Collins have broadened Liam Hemsworth‘s part so that Gale — the third leg of the Katniss/Peeta/Gale love triangle — will have a bigger part in the movie than in the books.

Case in point: Infamous Players: A Tale of Movies, the Mob, (and Sex) by former Paramount executive and Variety editor Peter Bart. Due out on May 3, Bart’s behind-the-scenes book posits that the sex scene between actors Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie in the 1973 film Don’t Look Now was, in fact, utterly unsimulated. Sutherland denies the claim, but it’s a fascinating possibility nonetheless. It might surprise you, however, how many mainstream films there are out there that feature actual sex; here, we’ve assembled for your consideration nine of the best: More »

Dude Diary: Sam Claflin

Dude Diary: Sam Claflin

When Disney announced last week that unknown British actor Sam Claflin would be joining the cast of the next installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, we rightly thought, “Wha?” Who is this good looking 23-year-old actor pretty much plucked from obscurity to play “the key role of Philip, a youthful missionary,” alongside the inimitable Johnny Depp? Claflin has just a couple of professional projects under his belt, although not one has yet to air. Still, he has worked with some huge names in the industry — a credit to his natural talent, connections or a hardworking agent. More »
