No Globes, No Grammys and No Oscars?

Amid the pervasive uncertainty created by the WGA strike, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences is forging ahead with plans for the Feb. 24 Oscar ceremony. But the Academy is also planning two different shows -- the usual kudocast and an alternative event if the scribes are still out.

Oscarcast producer Gil Cates supplied few details as to what form the alternative show would take, simply saying at a meeting at Acad headquarters that they'd have to "play it by ear," according to one attendee.

But it's likely that the alternative show would rely on industry heavyweights penning their own speeches and presenting the awards.

Hudson and Beyonce Star at BET Awards

Hudson, 25, kicked off the three-hour ceremony with a duet of "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" with Jennifer Holliday, who made the song famous on Broadway almost three decades ago.

The Oscar winner snagged the best actress trophy ("I can't believe I'm still winning awards!" she said) and best new artist award.

Beyonce, 25, who led the nominees with six nods, picked up awards for best female R&B artist and video of the year for "Irreplaceable."

She also performed a show-stopping rendition of her dance anthem "Get Me Bodied" - followed by her Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland singing "Like This" with cameos from Eve, Michelle Williams and Beyonce's sister Solange Knowles.

Scorsese Wins Best Director at Critics' Choice Awards

His movie, "The Departed," won Best Film and he took home honors as Best Director. It was Scorsese’s best showing ever at an awards show and a legitimate one at that. He joked to the crowd: "It's the first I tried to make that has a plot."

This big win for "The Departed" puts a slight dent in what looked like a sure Oscar win for "Dreamgirls," which received four awards last night including Jennifer Hudson and Eddie Murphy in the supporting actors categories and two music awards.

The lavish musical "Dreamgirls" took home four awards: best supporting actor for Eddie Murphy, best supporting actress for Jennifer Hudson, best song for "Listen," performed by Beyonce Knowles, and best soundtrack.

The comedy "Little Miss Sunshine" also received four awards: best acting ensemble, best writer for Michael Arndt, best young actor for Paul Dano and best young actress for Abigail Breslin.

People's Choice Awards 2006

Babel Leads Globes With 7 Nominations

Helen Mirren, Leonardo DiCaprio and Clint Eastwood were among the multiple Golden Globe nominees Thursday, while the multinational ensemble drama "Babel" led contenders with seven nominations, including best dramatic picture.

Also nominated for best dramatic picture: the Robert Kennedy story "Bobby," the mob tale "The Departed," the suburban drama "Little Children" and the royalty-in-crisis "The Queen."

A few surprises cropped up among nominees for the 64th annual Globes, Hollywood's second-biggest film honors after the Academy Awards and traditionally a solid forecast for how the Oscars might play out.

Among them: Sacha Baron Cohen's unexpected $100 million hit "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." The satire of American culture was nominated for best musical or comedy film, while Cohen got a bid for best actor in a musical or comedy.

Clint Eastwood was nominated for both WWII Iwo Jima films he directed this past year, Flags of Our Fathers and Letters From Iwo Jima.

Leo DiCaprio was nominated for both Blood Diamond and The Departed. Which means some other great performance was ignored in the Globes' grasp at "star power" for their annual pre-Oscars party.

Song from Borat Among List of 56 Oscar Eligible Songs

Among the songs eligible for nomination are "The Book I Write" from "Stranger Than Fiction," "Dreamz With A Z" from "American Dreamz," "I Need To Wake Up" from "An Inconvenient Truth," "It's A Fight," from "Rocky Balboa," "Never Gonna Break My Faith" from "Bobby," "O Kazakhstan" from "Borat," "Til The End of Time" from "Little Miss Sunshine," "Try Not To Remember" from "Home Of The Brave," and "You Know My Name," from Casino Royale."

Some films had multiple songs declared eligible. "Family of Me," "Heist," and "Still" all come from "Over The Hedge." "Cars" was home to "Our Town" and "Real Gone." "Dreamgirls," a presumed Oscar favorite, included the eligible songs "Listen," "Love You I Do," and "Patience."

Cars Has Most Annie Award Nominations

Leading the pack for the Annie Awards for film, television and home video animation was DreamWorks Animation SKG, with 17 nods for two features, "Flushed Away" and "Over the Hedge."

But Disney-Pixar's "Cars" was the biggest film nominee. The sentimental story of a cocky race car who winds up stuck in a Route 66 town filled with eccentric individuals garnered nine nominations, including best animated feature and best director for John Lasseter, who helped put Pixar on the map when he directed "Toy Story."

"Flushed Away," the story of an uptown rat who gets flushed down the toilet from his penthouse apartment, ending in the sewers of London, earned eight film nominations, including voice acting for Ian McKellen. It also got a nomination as best animated video game, a category unrelated to the movie.

Taxable Emmy and Oscar Gift Bags

The Internal Revenue Service and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences yesterday announced they have reached a settlement on undisclosed taxes owed to the government on the "gifts" received at the Oscars in the last several years, through 2005. The academy also announced it will no longer give out the bags, saying the board quietly voted last April to end the practice. In recent years, the academy has given the bags -- also known as gift bags or swag -- to as many as 200 hosts, performers and winners on Oscar night. "There's no special red-carpet tax loophole for the stars," IRS Commissioner Mark W. Everson said in a prepared statement. "Whether you're popping the popcorn, sitting in the audience or starring on the big screen, you need to respect the law and pay your taxes."

Typically, if the IRS finds someone has failed to pay taxes but no fraud is involved, it assesses back taxes, interest and penalties for only the preceding three years. In this instance, if 200 people received $100,000 baskets in each of the three years through 2005, the taxable non-cash income would be $60 million. Neither IRS spokesmen nor Academy spokeswoman Leslie Unger would confirm or deny that number. Nor would they say whether, under the terms of the settlement, the IRS forgave back payment, interest and penalties. Nor would they say whether the Academy has paid a lump sum on behalf of past recipients.
