 | New York Film Critics Circle votes 'Boyhood' best film of the year (01 Dec 2014)The New York Film Critics Circle held its annual vote today, "first!" among the critics groups to announce and firing the latest in a series of "starting guns" for the season. (Truly, where does it all really "begin" anymore?) And the big, hardly surprising winner? Richard Linklater's "Boyhood." The 12-year opus also took awards for Best Director and Best Supporting Actress. The only other film to land multiple wins was "The Immigrant," interestingly enough, which shared Marion Cotillard in the Best Actress arena with "Two Days, One Night" and also took the organization's cinematography prize. Curiously lost in the mix was Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Birdman," but it's entirely possible the La critics right that ship next week. I'm expecting Best Film and Best Actor wins there, but we'll see. Ditto Ava DuVernay's "Selma," which was beloved by a number of critics but still didn't find room. In »See full article at Hitfix |

 | Benedict Cumberbatch on His Future With Sherlock (01 Dec 2014)Benedict Cumberbatch had some surprising words about his future with Sherlock. Rest easy! It's a good surprise. "If we can keep the quality up," Cumberbatch told Vogue about the hit series, "I can't imagine that I will ever get tired of being Sherlock. I'd love to play him as an old man."

 | Lana Del Rey and Courtney Love announce joint tour: Is Lana making amends? (01 Dec 2014)Courtney Love and Lana Del Rey: a match made in heaven? The '90s grunge queen and somber alt-pop sensation will hit the road together beginning in May as part of Del Rey's "Endless Summer Tour," the singers announced Monday. Love will appear during the first half of the North American run, which kicks off May 7 in The Woodlands, Texas. Love previously teased a collaboration between the two on Twitter, stating: "See you in London in ten hours @LanaDelRey we are going to own that town xxc #excitingnews2come." It's an interesting collaboration, not least because Del Rey raised the ire of Frances Bean Cobain - Love's daughter with late grunge superstar Kurt Cobain - over comments she made in a recent Guardian interview that seemed to glorify early death. The rock progeny responded by tweeting (among other things): “@Lana Del Rey the death of young musicians isn’t something to romanticize… »See full article at Hitfix |
 | Reese Witherspoon Hopes You Won't Stereotype Her Because of Her Looks (01 Dec 2014)To put it simply, we think Reese Witherspoon has the dream job. But the actress, currently earning Oscar buzz for her dramatic turn on the big screen in Wild, isn't necessarily gushing about her line of work. "I think about backing out of everything. I get to the beginning and I’m like, 'I do not want to make this movie,' " she tells Harper's Bazaar U.K. in its January issue. "I've never had an experience where I was like, 'I can't wait to start.' " Adds Witherspoon of taking on dramas: "I don't know why. It's always going »See full article at PEOPLE.com |

 | George Clooney Looks Cute As Hell on the Set of Downton Abbey (01 Dec 2014)One weird tradition in British television is the yearly spectacle of charity holiday specials, in which all the famous TV people get together to record little comedy sketches for a good cause. It's hard for us to understand because there's no U.S. equivalent — these things look like real TV and sound like real TV, but they're not real TV at all. They're non-canonical, for one, and extremely silly to boot. But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this image of George Clooney visiting the set of Downton Abbey for this year's version of ITV's "Text Santa" initiative. Look how cute he is! If George Clooney were a real character on Downton (which, again, he's not), he'd definitely be called Lord Eyebrows Chinswith. »See full article at Vulture |

Unsurprisingly, Saul rubbed Mike the wrong way, and was denied access to his garage. When Saul decided to park right at the gate that Mike refused to open, »See full article at PEOPLE.com |
