If Wishes Were Horses, Wed All Be Driving Porsches
Entertainment Weekly comes up with a long-shot dream team for actors and projects that should win Oscars, but wont. In its list of non-hopefuls, The 40-Year-Old-Virgin gets a nod for best picture, and Ralph Fiennes gets a best actor nod - his crabbed, crumbling bereft lover in The Constant Gardener was remarkable. But then EW goes right off the rails by suggesting that Donald Sutherlands Mr. Bennet in Pride & Prejudice needs to be recognized as a best supporting candidate, even though it looked to The Bagger like Mr. Sutherland had simply shown up. And the mag goes in for the pure suck-up - a little ink costs nothing - by giving big ups to Ron Howard, just another poor, unrecognized no-name director. If it had not mentioned Laura Linney and Taraji P. Henson, two women who were in The Squid and the Whale and Hustle and Flow, respectively, the Bagger would think the folks at EW had completely lost their minds. Its nice to know that someone would consider these two actresses playing supposedly morally bankrupt women who became the moral centers of the stories as they unfolded..

Jury Lineups Announced For Tribeca Film Festival
Imagine a cocktail party populated by recognizable guests who would otherwise probably never hang out together: some of them are highly knowledgeable about movies, some have made movies, others have appeared in movies and still others have at least seen some movies. Hold that image in your mind and tally off the boldface names in attendance, and you may come up with rosters not unlike the — shall we say, heterogeneous — juries that will preside over this year’s Tribeca Film Festival. The festival’s organizers on Wednesday afternoon announced the jurors who would choose the winners in its seven competitive categories, calling them, with some understatement, “a diverse group of 41 industry leaders.” For example, the jury for the world narrative category will consist of the writer-directors Kenneth Lonergan (“You Can Count on Me,” “Margaret”) and Paul Haggis (“Crash,” “Million Dollar Baby”); the actresses Blythe Danner and Bryce Dallas-Howard; and the cultural journalist Jessica Winter. And the winner of the world documentary category will be chosen by the documentary filmmakers Joe Berlinger (“Paradise Lost”) and Sandi Dubowski (“Trembling Before G-d”), as well as Whoopi Goldberg, Mira Sorvino and Evan Rachel Wood..

Oh the Parts Have Nasty Teeth, Dear
For some actors, a period costume provides a way into a role; for others, big hair or a gimpy walk is the key. Lately, several actors, including two up for Golden Globes on Monday, have discovered what Lon Chaney demonstrated long ago: they can feel the character in their teeth. While one best-actor nominee, Johnny Depp, below, plopped in symmetrical blanket-of-white choppers to play Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, another nominee, Hustle & Flows Terrence Howard, below right, took to gold. As the aspiring rapper DJay, he wears gold snap-on teeth known in hip-hop circles as snatch-outs. DJays girlfriend, Shug (Taraji P. Henson), also goes for the gold, but its platinum for Skinny Black (Ludacris), the local rapper who found stardom.
