Oh, the irony! I’ve been covering Hollywood industry awards as a journalist for 30 years and now I’m nominated for the Press Award bestowed by Hollywood’s leading PR guild: Icg Publicists. It’s so gracious of them – thank you, huzzahs to all – but now I’ll get a toxic dose of what I report on all the time: nominee jitters.
Uh-oh: do my Hollywood industry peers really, really like me? Should I campaign aggressively? Rent out billboards on Sunset Boulevard? What should I wear on Feb. 7 when the winner is revealed at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in the same room where the Golden Globes are doled out?
Lucky for me, I know the drill. I’ve been nominated, and lost, twice in the past. Only 16 more defeats and I’ll be the Susan Lucci of the Publicists’ Award! So, please, save me: spread the word across town — Vote for Tom!

The Office star Steve Carell is suffering a badly sprained ankle after falling out of a Hummer on the set of his new film. The US funnyman was shooting the sequel to the Jim Carrey-Morgan Freeman-starring 2003 hit Bruce Almighty in Richmond, Virginia when he took a tumble. Filming is not expected to be delayed on Evan Almighty, which sees The 40 Year Old Virgin star Carell divinely inspired to build an ark. Universal Pictures spokesperson Carol McConnaughey insists the actor "is doing fine." Carell recently won a Golden Globe for his role in the American version of The Office, and co-stars in Evan Almighty alongside another TV actor, Gilmore Girls star Lauren Graham.
