Today, The Great Gatsby, Baz Luhrmann's adaptation based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, will open the sixty sixth film festival of Cannes.

SAG Awards Winners
All the following pics are from The Guardian! The comments are mine, now when I've seen a lot of the nominated movies. I haven't seen Argo, yet, but I'll review it separately, if it will be that astonishing. Anyway, it seems that the cast of Argo was awarded. The critics say it's a strong sign for Oscars, which might be true for some of the awards, precisely four, The Best Actors and The Best Supporting Actors, both genders, since they are voting again, plus "actress" Beyonce, the Presidential … [Read more...]
