September. It's a Wrap

I'm going to try to kick things back up several notches starting October 5th. Consider it the Fall Season Premiere of TFE. In case you missed anything from September, a slightly sparse month, here's a little 'best of'

A scene from Lars and the DeGlam Girl

...and ignore her (oops)

The TIFF coverage was excellent this year, great job guys! Look forward to kicking it up for the Awards season, I'll be doing the same.

I busted out laughing at the Lars and the Deglam girl. Priceless

OMG, that picture and caption are hilarious.

Great pic. As you doubtless know, "It's a Wrap" is also the title of a track on the new Mariah CD that dropped Tuesday, so this whole post, title in all, is obviously a huge tribute to her. (It's the song where she threatens to "crack [her boyfriend] right in the forehead" for not having donuts and coffee on hand.) Anyway, you're sweet to show her such love.

I could actually totally see Mariah Carey nominated for Precious along with Mo'Nique, now that I think about it. The film would have to be huge, but if it is, Mariah could be the Queen Latifah to Mo'Nique's CZJ (weird as that sounds).

That would of course mean Mo'Nique wins.

I do think one film will have two noms in the category, though... could be Up in the Air, could be Lovely Bones, could be Precious, could be Nine.

And to think Mariah Carey's role was to be played by Helen Mirren. That's like the weirdest news to come out of hollywood since...like ever.

This should totally be the "Sigourney at 60" month. Love to the most stunning leading lady Hollywood has had in decades is always nice ;)

I guess this is probably a good post to ask, Nathaniel, but I was wondering what you thought of StinkyLulu's latest Supporting Actress Smackdown (1993)? Any chance we'll see a post on your picks sometime soon?
