Revolutionary Road

Forbes magazine released its Top-Earning Actresses of the year list, based on June 2008 to June 2009 profits (including endorsement deals), and the top spot belongs to (drum roll please) ...

Angelina Jolie, with a sweet $27 million.

For every one good foreign show co-opted for American TV (The Office, Queer as Folk, Three’s Company), there’s a barren wasteland of shows that just suck (Coupling, Kath and Kim, Viva Laughlin).

Now FOX has decided to take a show that was pitch perfect, Absolutely Fabulous, and remake it for American TV.

The nominees for the 81st Annual Academy Awards were announced this morning by Forest Whitaker and Academy President Sid Ganis at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button led the pack with 12 nominations, followed by Slumdog Millionaire with 10. None of cast members from Slumdog were nominated, and the Leonardo Decaprio and Kate Winslet-vehicle Revolutionary Road was almost totally snubbed, with only one major nod coming in the form of a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Michael Shannon.

The BAFTA Awards, the British equivalent of the Oscars, announced this years’ nominees and our fave, Slumdog Millionaire, got mad love with eleven nominations including one for our boy Dev Patel as Best Actor.

Kate Winslet was bestowed a double nomination once again for The Reader and Revolutionary Road, and so was Brad Pitt who got the nod for both The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Burn After Reading.

A complete list of BAFTA nominees is below:

In case you were keeping score, need to settle a bet or had a Golden Globes pool, here's a complete list of last night's winners in the order the awards were handed out.

The burning question: can Leo and Kate top the sweet, sweet backseat love they made in Titanic?

A lot has been made of the reunion of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in their new film Revolutionary Road. The film, directed by Kate’s husband Sam Mendes, features a sex scene that has plenty of people buzzing but is largely remarkable for its brevity, something Mendes carefully orchestrated – perhaps because he felt juuuuust a little awkward?

Do you know the saying, “That was a very long driveway to a very small house”? We think they were talking about the anticipation of traveling down Revolutionary Road only to be met with shockingly unexpected disappointment.

The 15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Award Nominees were announced by Angela Bassett and Eric McCormack (remember him from Will and Grace?) this morning at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood with Doubt leading the pack with five nominations.

A match made in cinematic history, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, who starred together in the highest grossing movie of all time, Titanic, eleven years ago, arrive arm in arm to Monday night’s premiere of their latest endeavor, Revolutionary Road.

The years have been very, very good to them.

Kate has never been more radiant and Leo has matured like a fine wine.

All we need right now is a steamy car window with one hand pressed against it in ecstasy and some Celine Dion.

Kate Winslet is breathtakingly stunning as she arrives for New York premiere of her new film, The Reader, at The Ziegfeld Theatre in Manhattan on Wednesday night.

Her portrayal of a former Nazi prison guard opposite Ralph Fiennes has people buzzing she might be Oscar-bound (with the possibility of a second nomination for Revolutionary Road as well).

We think she deserves a golden statuette for her unmitigated beauty and the way she fills out that Herve Leger dress.

We bow at the altar of Winslet!
