The girls from the civil rights era drama The Help stole the show last night winning 3 of the 5 film awards up for grabs.  With wins for Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, as well as its ensemble cast, the film is now back in the race for best picture at this year's Oscars. Davis and Spencer also had two of the most inspiring speeches of the night.  "I'm...

    With less than a week before the Screen Actors Guild Awards are announced in the US , this is about the time some of the celeb set "'time' their pre-awards beauty regime. Without going overboard, many of the A-teamers want to to go looking refreshed and relaxed . . minus...

  Just a coupleof hours till the wee see the stars rock down the Shrines Auditorium's red carpet and the final touches are definitely being made . . . Make-up artists, hair stylists and frock fold are currently in overdrive and after the elegance of what we saw at the Golden Globes, I am pretty much expecting the same, if not a bit more chic and...

Television icon Mary Tyler Moore will be presented with the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award.  The Award is given annually to an actor who fosters the “finest ideals of the acting...

  The dresses, the shoes and the jools  may be exquisite, but sometimes, something gets lost in the red carpet rush. And to be honest, the right and most appropriate hair-style can make or break an entire look. And that counts for lots of us mere mortals too! "Look at your overall look, from shoes to jewellery & most...

They say it’s an honour to be nominated, but I think it would also be pretty cool to present an award too.  Not that the role comes without its risks and responsibilities.  First there's the awkward small talk you may have to make with your co-presenter.  There are lines to flub, jokes that may fall flat and embarrassing teleprompter breakdowns to contend with....

  There is something about this year's 'awards' season that is really bringing out the big names in when it comes to red carpet royalty. It is not often we see all bold-faced surnames like Kidmam, Jolie, Pitt, Clooney, Danes, Alba, Mirren, Williams, Streep, Witherspoon, Winslet, Madonna, Pinto et al, all make their way down the...

I missed seeing "We Need To Talk About Kevin" at the cinemas last year.  From all reports Tilda Swinton's performance was extraordinary and she fully deserves her SAG Awards nomination for best actress.   However, from the looks of this hilarious new "trailer", Macauley Culkin should have been up for a nod as well. He does evil child well.  A little...

This year’s Oscar nominees were announced today and everyone is talking about who wasn’t nominated as much as they're talking about who was (if not more so). The big surprise is that Martin Scorsese’s film Hugo leads the field this year with 11 nominations.  Most of Hugo’s nominations are in the technical categories like cinematography, which is why Hugo...

You read that right people.  The Ewings are back.  And not via some reunion special or tricky remake, but the actual series with the original characters and original stars picking up the story some 21 years later.  Think of it as season 14 (the original series had a run of 13 seasons from 1978 to 1991). “The cameras left 21 years ago”, the producers say....

Strapless, strapless, strapless seemed to be the key trend, but I can think of lots elements that made their presence felt as many of us perused the Golden Globes red carpet offerings. I caught up with leading Australian designer Peter Morrissey today and we chewed the fashion fat over the looks that rocked, worn by a major cast list of stars . . .  a calibre...
