Josh Brolin's "Body"

There's arguably only one actor from the films of 2007 who could shout "WHAT A YEAR I HAD!" whilst standing in front of a huge fireworks display and perhaps a parade of circus animals with marching band and still come across as understating the moment. And that actor is Josh Brolin (American Gangster, In the Valley of Elah, Grindhouse and No Country For Old Men)

Diane Lane is proud of her man at the American Gangster premiere. Wouldn't you be?

So I won't even pretend that there's a race for the gold medal in the "Body of Work" category at this year's FiLM BiTCH Awards but you'll have to wait to hear who might win silver and gold. Here are the nominees ... it's a male heavy list this year (with one glorious exception) since that's where the cinema went. [UPDATE: due to too many pages of lists, I've made a miscalculation here and I've swapped out a nominee. So if you read this earlier it's different now -5:15 PM]

For whiny readers screaming "I thought this would be a beefcake laden post! Where's my beefcake?!?" Here ya go. It's the best that could be mustered


That's about as beefcake as it gets with Mr. Brolin. He's the rugged man's man type. He even takes interviewers out on his motorcycle. He doesn't really do that kind of photoshoot, damn him.
