'Dragon Tattoo' star Rooney Mara talks about her Golden Globe nom

Rooney Mara is already getting rave reviews for her brave portrayal of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (which hits theaters next week). Last night she attended the film’s New York premiere, and this morning she learned she’s scored a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Drama. (The category’s other nominees are an impressive bunch: Meryl Streep, Viola Davis, Tilda Swinton, and Glenn Close.) “It’s really exciting,” says Mara, who previously was best known for a small part in last year’s Social Network. “It was a very happy surprise this morning. It’s always great when you work really hard on something and people show their appreciation for that work.” Mara says the news truly did come as a surprise. “Honestly, because of our crazy schedule having three premieres in three countries in three nights, I totally forgot they were even doing this today. I was half asleep having hair and makeup done to go do something else. So I really was actually quite surprised. My mom came running in sort of jumping up and down. I was like, what is wrong with you?”

Golden Globes nominations: 'The Artist,' 'The Descendants' lead pack of nominees
The Artist is a true work of art, according to the 69th annual Golden Globe nominations. The silent film helmed by Michel Hazanavicius has nabbed six nominations this year, leading a distinguished pack that also includes The Descendants and The Help, which both picked up five nominees. (The Ides of March and Midnight in Paris rounds out the top five nominees with four nods each.) It’s also a banner year for Clooney, who not only saw his film The Descendants get nominated for Best Drama, but picked up Best Actor (The Descendants), Best Director (The Ides of March), and Best Screenplay (The Ides of March) nominations as well. Who else is nominated this year? (Or, we should say, who else will be subject to host Ricky Gervais’ jabs this year?) See the full list of nominees here, and see who picks up the trophy at the ceremony Jan. 15! (Be sure to also check out EW’s Pre-Oscars Scorecard to see which films lead the awards season race!)

Angelina Jolie's directorial debut to be released in Bosnian language. Good for Golden Globes?

Yesterday came the news (via Deadline’s Mike Fleming) that Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, In the Land of Blood and Honey, will be released in the official language of Bosnia, known by the acronym BHS. Jolie shot each scene of the film, which takes place in Bosnia, in both BHS and English, but its distributor, FilmDistrict, has decided to go with the subtitled version here in North America. “It was always my hope that U.S. audiences would have the opportunity to experience this version,” Jolie said in a statement.
Blood and Honey, which will be released Dec. 23, hasn’t gained much traction in the awards race so far (one person associated with FilmDistrict told me that it’s “not really an Academy film”), but this decision could help its chances with one high-profile award: the Golden Globe. Unlike with the Oscars, where each country is allowed to submit only one film for consideration, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association can nominate any non-English-language movie for its Best Foreign-Language Film prize. Jolie is an HFPA favorite: She’s been nominated six times in her career, winning three prizes (for Gia, George Wallace, and Girl Interrupted). A foreign film nod would ensure that Jolie shows up to the ceremony on Jan. 15 not just as Brad Pitt’s date (he’s a sure Best Actor nominee for Moneyball) but as a nominee herself.

Ricky Gervais responds to Golden Globes rumors

How do you top Ricky Gervais as the host of the Golden Globes Awards? If you’re the Oscars, you recruit Eddie Murphy. And if you’re the Golden Globes… well, maybe you call that rascal Gervais again. The New York Post‘s Page 6 spied Gervais dining with an NBC exec and the top HFPA official and concluded Gervais is back on the Globes’ radar. The British star immediately tweeted the Page 6 item, with the note, “Ooooooh! The plot thickens.”
Gervais did nothing to dampen speculation, telling EW through his manager, “Last time I said I was in talks to host again, everyone said I was lying. So I’m saying nothing.”
That doesn’t sound like “nothing”! Not everyone in Hollywood would welcome Gervais’ brand of irreverent humor back. But his return would certainly boost ratings, as audiences would tune in simply to see what he’d say this time.

'Midnight in Paris': Could it be Woody Allen's return trip to the Oscars?

With 21 career Oscar nominations, Woody Allen can certainly be considered an Academy favorite. But in the five years since he scored a Best Original Screenplay nod for 2005′s Match Point, he hasn’t been invited back to the big show. (Though Penélope Cruz won Best Supporting Actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona in 2009, Allen himself wasn’t nominated.) Allen’s latest comedy, Midnight in Paris, has just screened for the press at the Cannes film festival, and I’d say he could have a shot this time. I’ll leave the official critique to my colleague Lisa Schwarzbaum, but I’d say the consensus will be that Midnight is easily his best film since Vicky Cristina, while some critics will harken even further back to find an Allen film as witty and magical as this one. And (mild spoiler alert!) I think older Academy voters will be particularly tickled by Allen’s fictional presentations of artistic and literary icons like Gertrude Stein (played by Kathy Bates) and Salvador Dalí (Adrien Brody). While Best Picture or Best Director citations may be tougher to snag given all the promising films still to come this year, I’d say a 15th screenplay nod for Allen certainly seems doable.
As for the cast? Allen’s movies have garnered nine supporting actress nominations over the years, but none of the female performers (including Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, and Carla Bruni-Sarkozy) has a showy enough role to go the distance. This movie really belongs to Owen Wilson, who gives a droll and charming performance that could contend for a Best Actor in a Comedy nod at the Golden Globes next January. It’s likely his only shot at awards glory next year: I don’t think Hall Pass will cut it, even at the Globes.

Golden Globe nominee Mel Gibson? What if 'The Beaver' had been released last year?
Image Credit: Ken Regan
One of the tough decisions Summit Entertainment had to make regarding Mel Gibson’s film The Beaver was whether to release it late last year for awards consideration or hold it until 2011. Now that it performed so poorly it its first weekend of limited release (barely earning $100,000 in 22 theaters), it’s interesting to wonder how different the movie’s fate would have been if it had come out last December.
