Linklets

And the Winner Is... following the Oscar race on Twitter. This is quite comprehensive it is
Esquire interview with Sherlock Holmes's Robert Downey Jr. Amazing photoshoot
Paste Magazine 25 Best Docs of the Aughts. The Gleaners and I wayyyy too low
MovieLine Mad Men power rankings, a recap with an angle. A hoot



MNPP dreams of Jake Gyllenhaal's ostrich impression
Indie Wire 20 Films to compete for 5 Best Animated Feature Oscar spots. I want everyone to remember I assured 5 nominees right from the beginning of the year despite all the "there's not enough" naysayers. Toot Toot (my own horn)
Old Hollywood Marlene Dietrich. So quotable
The Advocate interviews Tom Ford on the eve of that directorial debut A Single Man which I'm seeing tomorrow. Wheeeee
In Contention thinks Dion Beebe's got the cinematography Oscar this year for Nine

Finally... have you heard of this website SoundWorks Collection? They'll be doing bi-weekly profiles for this year's Oscar contenders in sound. That could prove interesting since it's a category that's often still like a foreign language to most civilians (that's us).

There's not much coverage for 2009 yet but they do have one up on Up from earlier this year which could well figure into the sound categories as animated films do from time to time.
