Jon Stewart Loves Oscar!
Daily Show fans rejoice: Jon Stewart has been picked to host the Oscars this year! CBS News reports that the fake-news anchor has agreed to helm the awards ceremony. I think we can count on this being one of the most fun Oscar broadcasts ever. Last year, the honors went to Chris Rock. They say Chris Rock's controversial, but my Mom loves him. My Mom is cool, though.

Oh la la!
C'est le teaser for MARIE ANTOINETTE, Sofia Coppola's much anticipated follow-up to LOST IN TRANSLATION, which stars Kirsten Dunst as the queen famous both for her love of cake and close relationship with a guillotine.

Wait a second...
Could AMERICAN DREAMZ be making fun of "American Idol"? And could that Cheeto-munching president be a little dig at Bush? Nah. But I loved ABOUT A BOY, the Weitz brothers movie with Hugh Grant playing a jerk, so this looks pretty promising.

Director Paul Greengrass (BLOODY SUNDAY, THE BOURNE SUPREMACY) will have made the first studio film about September 11, 2001, when his film FLIGHT 93 opens this April. This trailer provides a bare glimpse of what he has in store for viewers. Personally, I had a difficult time watching this trailer. What do you think, readers: is it too early for movies about 9/11?

Virginia Madsen, an Oscar nominee last year for SIDEWAYS, is currently in talks to star opposite Jim Carrey as his wife in THE NUMBER 23, a thriller directed by Joel Schumacher. Carrey's character discovers a book that seems to eerily parallel his own life, and he grows more and more obsessed with the number 23. (This number fixation sounds a bit like "Lost," doesn't it?)

Word From the Sundance Film Festival
New York Times film critic A.O. Scott reports from the snowy environs of Park City, Utah on the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Hey, I even have a tangential connection to the party this year: Ellen Ripstein, a former co-worker of mine, is there because she's featured in Wordplay, a documentary on crossword puzzles. Ellen is basically the queen of the crossword puzzle word. Don't even try to challenge her.
