Brokeback Mountain earned four Screen Actors Guild nominations: lead actor for Ledger and supporting actor for Gyllenhaal, who play old shepherding buddies concealing their homosexual affair from their families; supporting actress for Williams, who plays Ledger's wife; and best overall performance by its entire cast. Lee, whose films include Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Hulk, was among best-filmmaker nominees by the Directors Guild of America. Other directing nominees were George Clooney for the Edward R. Murrow tale Good Night, and Good Luck; Paul Haggis for the ensemble drama Crash; Bennett Miller for the Truman Capote story Capote; and Steven Spielberg for Munich, a thriller centred on the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics. Clooney also earned a supporting-actor nominee from SAG for his role as an undercover CIA agent in the oil-industry thriller Syriana. Along with Brokeback Mountain, SAG nominations for best film cast went to Capote, Crash, Good Night and Good Luck, and Hustle & Flow, the story of a pimp and drug dealer forging a career as a rap singer. Joining Ledger in the lead-actor category were Philip Seymour Hoffman as author Capote in Capote; Russell Crowe as Depression-era boxer Jim Braddock in Cinderella Man; Joaquin Phoenix as singer Johnny Cash in Walk the Line; and David Strathairn as newsman Murrow in Good Night and Good Luck. Lead-actress nominees were Judi Dench as a society dame who starts a nude stage revue in 1930s London in Mrs. Henderson Presents; Felicity Huffman in a gender-bending role as a man preparing for sex-change surgery in Transamerica; Charlize Theron as a woman leading a sexual-harassment lawsuit at a mining company in North Country; Reese Witherspoon as Cash's soulmate and eventual wife, June Carter, in Walk the Line; and Ziyi Zhang as a poor girl who becomes a belle of Japan in Memoirs of a Geisha. Huffman also was nominated for best actress in a TV comedy series for Desperate Housewives, a role that earned her an Emmy last year. Desperate Housewives co-stars Teri Hatcher, Marcia Cross and Eva Longoria, who along with Huffman took four of the five TV musical or comedy nominations at the upcoming Golden Globes, all were shut out for guild nominations. The show's entire cast was honoured with a nomination for comedy ensemble, along with Arrested Development, Boston Legal, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Everybody Loves Raymond and My Name Is Earl. Nominated for TV drama ensemble were The Closer, Grey's Anatomy, Lost, Six Feet Under and The West Wing. Policeman roles in Crash - Don Cheadle as a devoted detective, Matt Dillon as a racist beat cop - earned them supporting-actor nominations. Along with Gyllenhaal and Clooney, the other nominee was Paul Giamatti as boxer Braddock's manager in Cinderella Man. Joining Williams as supporting-actress nominees were Amy Adams as a southern waif in the comic drama Junebug; Catherine Keener as Capote pal Harper Lee, author of To Kill a Mockingbird, in Capote; Frances McDormand as an ailing miner in North Country; and Rachel Weisz as a slain humanitarian-aid worker in The Constant Gardener.

  • http://today.reuters.com/news/newsArticle.aspx?type=entertainmentNews&storyI D=2005-12-13T153904Z_01_FLE349688_RTRUKOC_0_US-LEISURE-GOLDENGLOBES.xml "Brokeback" tops indie-dominated Golden Globes Tue Dec 13, 2005 10:39 AM ET By Bob Tourtellotte BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) - Gay cowboy romance "Brokeback Mountain," topped the Golden Globe nominations on Tuesday with nominations in seven categories, including best film drama, in a year dominated by independent and low-budget movies. For the first time, members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which give out the Globes, shunned major Hollywood studio movies in its most widely watched category, best film drama, including Steven Spielberg's "Munich" and Peter Jackson's "King Kong." Joining "Brokeback" on the list for best film drama were "Good Night, and Good Luck," a stylish black-and-white movie directed by George Clooney, Woody Allen's story about British class warfare "Match Point," and two low-budget thrillers, "A History of Violence" and "The Constant Gardener." "Brokeback" also won nominations for best director, Ang Lee, best actor in a dramatic movie, Heath Ledger, best supporting actress, Michelle Williams, best screenplay, score and original song. The movie, which has won several critics' awards and is now a front-runner for the Academy Awards, was followed by "Good Night," "Match Point," and the film adaptation of the Broadway musical "The Producers," all with four nominations each. "The Producers" made the list of nominees for best film musical or comedy with Johnny Cash biopic "Walk the Line," "Mrs. Henderson Presents," about a nude revue in a London theater in World War II, "Pride & Prejudice," based on the Jane Austen novel, and independent hit "The Squid and The Whale." Of the movies, only "Producers" and "Walk the Line" could truly be called big-budget, Hollywood films. Spielberg and Jackson scored nominations for best director with "Munich" and "King Kong," respectively, but each film landed in only two groups. Another major movie notable for its lack of nominations was "Memoirs of a Geisha," also in only two categories. DISCERNING VOTERS Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Philip Berk called the absence of major studio films "a testament to the award process" and said it showed the association's roughly 90 members could be very discerning in their movie choices. The Golden Globes, which will be given out on January 16, are widely watched as a barometer for early Oscar contenders. Many of the nominees will go on to be nominated for Oscars, which are the U.S. film industry's top awards given out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Along with Ledger, best actor for a film drama nominees included Philip Seymour Hoffman for his role as author Truman Capote in "Capote," Russell Crowe playing a boxer in "Cinderella Man," David Strathairn as newsman Edward R. Murrow in "Good Night, and Good Luck" and Terrence Howard as a pimp in "Hustle & Flow." Best actress nominees for a movie drama were Felicity Huffman portraying a transgendered character in "Transamerica," Gwyneth Paltrow for "Proof," Charlize Theron for "North Country," Ziyi Zhang in "Memoirs of a Geisha" and Maria Bello in "A History of Violence." Six actors landed nominations for best actor in a movie musical or comedy, including Joaquin Phoenix for "Walk the Line," Cillian Murphy in "Breakfast on Pluto," Nathan Lane in "The Producers," Johnny Depp for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," Pierce Brosnan in "The Matador" and Jeff Daniels for "The Squid and The Whale." Musical or comedy actress nominees were Judi Dench for "Mrs. Henderson Presents," Reese Witherspoon in "Walk the Line," Sarah Jessica Parker in "The Family Stone," Laura Linney for "The Squid and The Whale, and Keira Knightley in "Pride & Prejudice." Foreign language film nominees included two Chinese entries, "Kung Fu Hustle" and "Master of Crimson Armor," France's "Merry Christmas," South African movie "Tsotsi" and the Palestinian film "Paradise Now." Finally, unlike the Oscars, Golden Globe awards are also given in television categories. Best TV drama nominees were "Commander in Chief," "Grey's Anatomy," "Lost," "Prison Break" and "Rome." Best musical or comedy nominees were "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Desperate Housewives," "Entourage," "Everybody Hates Chris," "My Name is Earl" and "Weeds." © Reuters 2005. All Rights Reserved.
  • http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/story/351289p-299600c.html By NANCY RAMSEY George Clooney spent a year researching the for his second directoral feature film. "Good Night, and Good Luck," which opens Friday, starts with the camera weaving discreetly about a large room of elegantly dressed men and women. The sequence - like the rest of the movie - is in black and white; the time is October 1958; the scene is the Radio-Television News Directors' Association's annual dinner. Men take centerstage at tables, no doubt reminiscing about glorious moments in their careers. Women throw their heads back and laugh, glasses tinkle, cigarette smoke curls upward, the strains of the era's moody jazz fills the air. In a few minutes, David Strathairn as Edward R. Murrow - the newsman who set the gold standard for journalists by taking on Sen. Joseph McCarthy at the height of his red-baiting reign of terror - will deliver an impassioned speech on the importance of using television to enlighten the citizenry. He will decry the idea of entertainment trumping news, rail against the increasing influence of corporate and stockholder concerns on broadcasting. Until then, the camera alights on one person, then another, then a third, before beginning its rounds again. But wait. That dark-haired man glimpsed quickly, sort of to the right of and behind someone else, the one with the large glasses - the light dancing off them in such a way that it's hard to make out his features - seems familiar. Isn't it George Clooney? The 44-year-old star, who co-wrote and directed the film, plays Fred Friendly, the CBS news producer who worked with Murrow. He wears thick glasses, a white shirt, a tie clasp that rests unfashionably high on his chest. Being a star is clearly not part of Clooney's agenda here. Clooney admits he briefly considered playing the lead. But "with Murrow, you always had the impression that he had the weight of the world on his shoulders," he said last week over a hearty late breakfast of bacon, scrambled eggs and potatoes. He was in town for the New York Film Festival, which "Good Night, and Good Luck" opened. Pausing a few seconds to scarf down a bite, he looked up and, with a mischievous smile, added, "No one thinks that of me." It's true that Clooney's a prankster with his friends and can play the clown on movie sets. But make no mistake: He is as dead-on serious about his new film and the issues it raises in today's political climate as he is drop-dead handsome. In fact, he put up his $8 million Los Angeles home as collateral when insurance company executives worried that the back surgery he'd had would prevent him from completing the film. His father, Nick Clooney, worked as a news anchor in Kentucky, Ohio and Los Angeles. "My dad would recite the 'box of lights and wires speech' to us as kids," he said, referring to Murrow's 1958 speech (in which he said that television can "teach, it can illuminate. ... But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it is merely wires and lights in a box"). "That and 'Julius Caesar': 'Friends, Romans, countrymen,'" Clooney added, smiling fondly at the memory. HIGH-WATER MARK Clooney and co-writer Grant Heslov, a close friend since 1982, spent a year researching the "Good Night" . "For me the hardest part was making sure we were always careful with the facts," Clooney said. "You have the Ann Coulters of the world and the Page Sixes." One false step, and "we could be marginalized. "I talked to my father a lot," he continued. "We double-sourced everything. Every scene happened, then we wrote dialogue. We said to Joe and Shirley" - meaning the Wershbas, who worked on Murrow's "See It Now" and are played by Robert Downey Jr. and Patricia Clarkson - "tell us when we're getting it wrong." "I didn't want to do a biopic," Clooney said of his approach to Murrow. Instead, the film captures the episode in late 1953 and early 1954 when Murrow confronted McCarthy. All the action takes place indoors - mostly in the newsroom or a jazz bar where the journalists retreat for their end-of-the-day Scotches. "That [confrontation] was a high-water mark for my father. Dad would always talk about it," Clooney said. The film "is a tip of my hat to what my old man has been fighting for his whole life." In conversation with Clooney, an off-the-cuff remark about Halliburton contracts or about conservative pundit Coulter will lead to a full-on civics lesson that takes in the Patriot Act, the rights of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, the importance of following the Constitution, and how, as Murrow said, "We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home." It's a citizen's duty, not simply a right, Clooney noted, to "question authority. We all know that authority, unchecked and unchallenged, always corrupts. "Two years ago," Clooney continued, when he and Heslov began working on the film, "we thought this would be an interesting time to talk about issues such as the dangers of letting fear erode civil liberties, the danger of broadcast news not asking all of the toughest questions." But, he added, quick to defend his dad's profession, there's "no reporter out there who wouldn't want to break a big story. But if you ask [a tough question] of this administration, you lose access, you're at the back of the room." The movie takes its title from Murrow's signoff line from his "See It Now" broadcasts. "I heard that came from the bombings in London," said Strathairn, referring to Murrow's World War II broadcasts. As people took shelter during the blitz, "that's what they'd say as they [went underground], 'Good night, and good luck.'" Strathairn's performance has won praise from critics and those who knew Murrow. "It's not mimicry. The timbre of the voice is not the same, but that fades," Shirley Wershba said. "The cadence and the meaning of the words is pure Murrow." And there's the "baleful look of the eyes, the tilt of the head - it's the real Murrow." Clooney cast Strathairn, 56, without an audition. "David has a sadness that you can't act," Clooney said. "You can only cast it." During shooting, "I can remember two or three times when George would say, 'Just do it a little bit faster,'" Strathairn said. "It was this invisible direction, the kind that tells you what you're doing is okay and, if not, he knows what he wants. You knew he was whittling and honing and crafting the scene as we were in it. Like Fred Friendly, he was managing the room." Walter Cronkite, who worked with both Murrow and Friendly, finds Friendly "very well represented" by Clooney, adding that what was "brushed over" were "Friendly's techniques and tactics. Friendly knew what he wanted to get in a piece and went to no ends to get what he believed to be right. Sometimes that involved stepping on other people's toes. It was probably unavoidable for a person who was so convinced of the rectitude of what he was trying to do." Clooney recognizes that his Fred Friendly is only part of who the man was. "Fred was tough," Clooney said. "Most Americans aren't going to know Fred's personality, and I thought I would do a disservice to the film" by making him a stronger character. "This is a clash of titans, and I'm there to service the story." Clooney said the film's style was influenced by the techniques of the documentarian D.A. Pennebaker: "The camera's not always quite in the right place. I wanted the camera to feel like a voyeur, and to focus on words," often "letting silence be the score." McCarthy meanwhile appears as himself in actual news footage. "From the beginning, we wanted to use McCarthy in his own words," Clooney said. "If you had an actor play him, you wouldn't believe it." The film is "relentless in its pace," Strathairn said. "You don't want to let [audiences] off the hook, where they can relax. You don't want to leave that room. It's not necessary to investigate who Murrow was, his life outside. It's who he was, who they all were, on the ice, in the mix, on the front lines, at that moment." "George always wanted to do work that was taken seriously," Heslov said. "He was a star on 'ER,' and then started getting movie offers. He played Batman, he did 'The Peacemaker.' I think he had an epiphany: 'What is my legacy going to be? This is my five minutes of fame. I don't want to squander it. Let's strike while the iron is hot.'" QUESTIONS OF GOVERNMENT "When you're a struggling actor and you suddenly start getting jobs," Clooney said, "once you're the person that greenlights a film, a George Clooney film - and believe me, I was thrilled to get 'Batman and Robin' - that's a turning point. If I held responsibility for the film, I wanted to pick better, [so] I did 'Out of Sight,' 'Three Kings,' 'Solaris,' [and directed] 'Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.'" He said he wants "questions of government" to be part of his own films, as it was in those he feels passionately about, including "All the President's Men," "Coming Home," "Dr. Strangelove" and "The Parallax View." The trick, of course, will be to make them commercial enough. He paused for a moment, finishing up breakfast, smiled, and said of "Good night, and Good Luck," "We may actually get people to see this one."

Nonsense. His father's local news duties were always to do with the "lighter" side, making small talk with the weatherguy and crack reporting on flower shows and such, beside the local crime beat and newsreading the headlines of the day in 5 minutes. Clooney also doesn't mention his dad's primary career gig, which was Emceeing an often giddy local celebrity daytime talk show for the ladies at home before the soaps came on. This is where Younger Clooney probably got his training in catering to the gals and his working them into a lather. > He added: "The danger is that most people get their news > from television - and it's been a long time since Walter Cronkite or Edward > R Murrow were the most trusted men in America."

  • http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/09/02/wven02.xml&s Sheet=/news/2005/09/02/ixworld.html You can't trust America's TV news, says Clooney By Hugh Davies in Venice (Filed: 02/09/2005) Spike Lee and George Clooney used the Venice Film Festival to attack the once iconic areas of popular culture in America: Hollywood and television news. Lee, the world's foremost black director who made films such as She's Gotta Have It and Malcolm X, said that cinema-goers were weary of the "same, formulaic, tired, tired, tired stuff", such as sequels and remakes of television shows like The Dukes of Hazzard. He said: "If Hollywood continues to make films like these, the audiences will continue to dwindle." Clooney, who has just directed Good Night and Good Luck, which is about CBS television news in the 1950s, said he grew up with three network broadcasts, all professional operations that allowed him to judge what was going on in politics and in Vietnam. Now, with the onset of cable television and "130 different channels", the quality of news was "fractured", with each network, like Fox, playing to audiences with "specific belief patterns". Viewers had to switch channels continually to discover what was going on in the world. The pair spoke out yesterday as a record 11 new American films were screened in Venice, but none in the blockbuster category. Lee, who was promoting Sucker Free City, about white, black and Chinese gangs in San Francisco, said the cost and risk involved in making movies had made the big studios wary of "more adventurous material". He added that Hollywood was suffering "one of the worst summers on record" for box office takings after a flurry of big-budget flops. Lee said: "The industry is worried. It seems that DVD has made a great impact on the theatrical release of films. What with the price of tickets, popcorn, parking and the need to get a babysitter, a lot of people would rather just stay at home and wait for the video or DVD. They already have the big screen home theatre. "But I love cinema. I don't think that you can replicate the sensation of watching a film on a big screen in a theatre with people around you as a community. However, Bob Iger, the president of Disney, says that there may come a day when you can buy the DVD on the same morning that it is released in the theatres." Lee said this would be resisted by cinema chains. "The gap used to be a year. Now it's down to almost three months." Clooney's film chronicles the 1950s conflict between the broadcaster Edward R Murrow and Senator Joseph McCarthy, the chairman of the House un-American Activities Committee, whose witch-hunt for communist sympathisers split the nation. While Clooney and the actors David Strathairn and Robert Downey Jnr play journalists and network executives, the senator is featured in film clips from the time, with his speeches intact. Clooney recalled that his father was a television anchor for many years but "he eventually stopped because news was becoming more and more light entertainment". He added: "The danger is that most people get their news from television - and it's been a long time since Walter Cronkite or Edward R Murrow were the most trusted men in America." Patricia Clarkson, the only woman in the film, plays Shirley Wershba, the wife of Joe Wershba, a CBS reporter, who is played by Downey.

Murrow, will open the 43rd New York Film Festival on Sept. 22 at Lincoln Center. Clooney directs the Warner Independent Pictures release from a screenplay he co-wrote with Grant Heslov, and appears in the film as CBS News producer Fred Friendly. Shot in black-and-white, it is set to hit theaters in October. Set in the 1950s, the film focuses on Murrow's determination to stand up against the Red-baiting orchestrated by Sen. Joseph McCarthy. It also stars Robert Downey Jr., Patricia Clarkson, Frank Langella, Ray Wise, Heslov and Jeff Daniels. Clooney directed 2002's "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind." The festival's complete slate will be announced this month. The event will run through Oct. 9. Reuters/Hollywood Reporter
