| Golden Globes 2016: Jamie Foxx Spoofs Steve Harvey, Announces Wrong Winner Posted:  Steve Harvey's Miss Universe snafu will most likely haunt him for the rest of his life, and Jamie Foxx couldn't help having some fun at the host's expense while presenting an award at tonight's Golden Globes ceremony.Foxx was onstage with actress Lily James to announce the nominees and winner of the Best Original Score statuette. The honorees included the composers for "Carol," "Steve Jobs," "The Danish Girl," and "The Revenant," with the legendary Ennio Morricone nabbing the prize for his "The Hateful Eight" score. Morricone wasn't present Sunday to have his spotlight momentarily stolen, so Foxx was able to vamp a little before announcing the actual winner. When he opened the envelope, he excitedly announced that "Straight Outta Compton" had won -- despite that flick not being one of the nominees. He then fake-sheepishly showed off the opened envelope, revealing Morricone's name, and apologizing profusely. "I will take responsibility for this," Foxx said as the crowd laughed. "It was my mistake. It was on the envelope." Here's hoping Harvey has a thick enough skin for the seemingly never-ending parade of jokes his mistake will inspire. Awards season is still young, after all. Photo credit: AFP/Getty Images This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Golden Globes 2016: Ricky Gervais Monologue Jabs Sean Penn, Caitlyn Jenner Posted:  Ricky Gervais returned for his fourth stint as Golden Globes host on Sunday night, and in true Gervais fashion, the emcee didn't pull any punches as he gleefully took down a host of different targets in his acerbic monologue.Gervais opened his bit by calling the crowd "disgusting, pill popping, sexual deviant scum," and said that after he insulted everyone, he planned on going into hiding somewhere where "not even Sean Penn will find me." (He also called the actor, who just published an interview with notorious Mexican drug kingpin El Chapo, a "snitch.") He may need that hideaway, too, as his jabs got uglier from there. Next on his hit-list was Caitlyn Jenner, who he praised for her courage and trailblazing -- though "she didn't do a lot for women drivers." (That sharp intake of air you heard was the entire Beverly Hilton Hotel ballroom gasping at the audacity of making fun of Jenner's brush with the law over that fatal Malibu crash last year.) He later segued into another daring quip about child rapist Roman Polanski dubbing "Spotlight" "the best date movie ever." There were the usual jokes about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (which famously got Gervais trouble with the organization before), including zingers about the HFPA getting paid off for nominating certain actors, and only honoring big stars so they'd show up (with a special shout-out to Best Actor in a Comedy nominee Matt Damon). Gervais also offered his commentary on Jennifer Lawrence's wage gap essay, telling the crowd that he got paid the same as last year's hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey combined, and that studios were cashing in on the all-female reboot trend because they "don't have to spend too much money on the cast." Things wrapped up with Ricky ruminating on the meaning of awards in general (spoiler alert: they're "worthless"), and revealing that he uses one of his own Golden Globes as a sex toy. "And they asked me to host -- four times!" Gervais exclaimed. Indeed, Ricky. Indeed. Check out the carnage for yourself below.

| 7 Reasons Why 'The Revenant' Almost Crushed 'Star Wars' at the Box Office Posted:  This was a good weekend for movies. Yes, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," racked up a few more records, including becoming the first movie to gross more than $800 million in North America, and it took its fourth weekend crown in a row with an estimated $41.6 million. But it got a run for its money from "The Revenant," which expanded wide this weekend and earned a second-place finish with an estimated $38 million. That's about twice as well as anyone expected the film to do. After all, it's an R-rated art film with a punishing length of nearly three hours, a period setting, and horrific violence. Yet in the dead of winter, people were lining up to see Leonardo DiCaprio fight off bears, eat raw bison liver and use a horse as a sleeping bag. How did that happen? Here are some of the film's secret weapons.  1. Leonardo DiCaprioFor years, DiCaprio has largely been a consistent draw at the box office -- one of the few A-Listers left who can open a picture at both home and abroad. Among his last six features, only one ("J. Edgar") grossed less than $116 million over the course of its domestic run. Plus, he's been absent from the screen for two years, since "The Wolf of Wall Street," so he gave us time to miss him. Oh, and there's one more thing that makes his performance here special... 2. Lots of Oscar Buzz Over the past quarter-century, DiCaprio has been nominated for for acting Oscars and one producing Oscar (for "The Wolf of Wall Street") but he has never won. But his "Revenant" performance made him the front-runner for a Best Actor Academy Award this year, even before most people had seen it. How? In part because of stories of the Method nature of that performance, in which he reportedly endured many of the same hardships as his character. To the extent that the average moviegoer is aware of that hype -- well, who wouldn't want to see if the work on screen lives up to it? And who wouldn't want to see Leo finally get his due from the Academy?  3. The Follow-up to "Birdman"Speaking of Oscar buzz, Alejandro González Iñárritu (pictured left) isn't exactly a household name, but people do know who he is now after his Oscar victories last year for "Birdman." At the very least, viewers know that Iñarritu will give them a visually extravagant spectacle of human beings testing their limits in extreme circumstances. 4. Strong Word-of-mouth The film's hype kicked into high gear over its two-week limited release, where -- on just four screens -- it averaged an astronomical $100,000 per-screen average. Plus, critics have given it generally positive reviews (80 percent fresh at Rotten Tomatoes, 77 percent at Metacritic), which matters to the largely older audience targeted by marketing. (Indeed, exit polling found that 73 percent of "Revenant" ticketbuyers were over 25.) Once the film opened wide this weekend, on 3,375 screens, viewers gave it a B+ CinemaScore, indicating decent word-of-mouth. So it's not just jaded film critics starved for sensation who are recommending the movie.  5. Tom Hardy Doing His Thing Leo's "Revenant" co-star is not the box office draw that DiCaprio is, in part because he likes to balance his big-budget Hollywood films with smaller indies, and in part because he's such a chameleon that he's hard to pigeonhole (there's no typical Tom Hardy character). His presence in a movie is almost always a sign of quality, making his team-up opposite DiCaprio a no-brainer for ticketbuyers and the actor's fans. 6. Quentin Tarantino Usually, when two superficially similar movies enter the marketplace, the one that's released first has the advantage. But not if viewers aren't all that thrilled with said movie. That's why "The Hateful Eight" is the best advertising that "The Revenant" could have asked for. After all, reviewers and fans are finding Tarantino's violent western the most problematic of the director's films to date. After a strong opening during its 70MM large-screen roadshow engagement, the movie has struggled in wide release in digital-print screenings at the multiplex. This weekend, it added 464 screens (for a total of 2,938) and still lost 60 percent of last weekend's business, taking in an estimated $6.4 million and finishing in sixth place. Audiences are choosing to spend their snowbound-and-violent-auteurist-western dollars on the alternative.  7. The January DoldrumsJanuary is traditionally the month where studios dump their afterthought releases, so any movie that stands out is going to benefit. Last year, "American Sniper" took advantage of the January slow period and raked in a fortune in wide release. "The Revenant" seems to have learned that movie's lesson: Even a violent, arty, lengthy drama can succeed in January. Especially if it has a bankable leading man, a director with a reputation for quality, awards hype, and no serious competition on the same playing field. %Slideshow-354515% This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| Weekend Box Office: 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' No. 1 for Fourth Week Posted:  RYAN NAKASHIMA, AP Business WriterLOS ANGELES (AP) -- "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" stayed on top of the North American box office for the fourth week, beating out Leonardo DiCaprio in "The Revenant," and becoming the third-largest grossing movie in the world ever. According to studio estimates Sunday, the adventures of Rey, Finn and stalwarts from the previous "Star Wars" films raked in $41.6 million in the U.S. and Canada and $104.3 million overseas, led by a record-breaking opening in China. In the U.S. and Canada, it is the biggest movie ever and the first to pass $800 million with $812 million so far. Its global total now stands at $1.73 billion, according to The Walt Disney Co., passing "Jurassic World," with $1.67 billion. %Slideshow-348022% This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
