Lost star Evangeline Lilly has revealed that she isn't interested in fame and would rather have been a missionary, according to reports. 'I stumbled into this job on a whim,' she told a UK magazine. 'It was completely by accident because I'm an intensely private person. I'm much too private to deal with being a public figure. That's not attractive to me.' She continued: 'In my home, we didn't watch TV, we didn't watch movies and we didn't have magazines with celebrities on the cover. All I wanted was to be a missionary. 'I had prepared to give myself over to poverty for the rest of my life and that was my goal. I'm not interested in »

2010 SAG Award Prediction Best Cast in a Motion Picture The Hurt Locker — Christian Camargo, Brian Geraghty, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Jeremy Renner Many consider the Screen Actors Guild’s Outstanding Cast in a Motion Picture Award as SAG’ best film equivalent. Generally speaking, that ain’t true. A "cast," or "ensemble," is exactly what the name implies: a group of performers interacting with one another in a movie. SAG Award voters, whether when selecting their nominees or winners, have almost invariably followed that "Outstanding Cast = Outstanding Group Acting" concept. For instance, among past SAG Award nominees in the Outstanding Cast category have been How to Make an American Quilt, Marvin’s Room, Boogie Nights, The Green Mile, Chocolat, and Bobby — [...] »

Chicago – With its fifth season Blu-Ray release, “Lost” continues to make a case as the TV series with the most remarkable season DVD sets alongside award-winning season sets for shows like “24” and “The Simpsons”. With a technically flawless presentation and unique, in-depth special features, these sets perfectly balance an appeal to casual fans while also satisfying the hardcore one.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.5/5.0
As for the story of “Lost,” if you’re completely unfamiliar with the show, you would be insane to start with season five. With every season of ABC’s hit show now available on Blu-Ray, you can go back to the beginning and work your way to this excellent penultimate outing. The sixth season, starting in February, will be the last. Catch up with one of the most important programs of the ’00s before it ends and we’re on to something being sold as “the next Lost”. There »

The precursors have been squeezed into an unusually small period this year. The Globes, Bfca, Nyfcc, Lafca and SAG all announced in the space of one week. That's not business as usual. I guess this is one way to squeeze out all those regional critics groups because... who will care now? What does all this mean for Oscar? Generally clear consensus between the major precursors means that Oscar will be nearly a carbon copy. But with an unusual amount of time between the actors announcement and the announcement of Oscar nominations (Still more than a month away) it Might mean that Academy voters react to and against these lists, rather than along with them if you know what I mean. Do you know what I mean?
The Hurt Locker team is having a great awards season run.

We all knew that just because Jack and a few others got off the island their stories weren’t over. Whether you figured that out because the last episode of season four wasn’t the series finale or because it’s Lost and that ending is just too easy, it doesn’t really matter because everyone who left must return and then some. If you ever wondered how you keep introducing characters in a show about an island no one can find until they’ve arrived, Lost has an answer: time travel. The solution is at once genius and cheap in that it simultaneously gives a new slant to the meaning of the show’s title and yet demystifies the mythos surrounding the island’s past. The fifth season of Lost marked a noticeable upswing in story and cohesiveness but at what cost? The best storyline doesn’t start until »

If this year's Gotham Awards winner is any indication, A Serious Man might be in serious trouble with its Oscar chances as Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker appears to be the "preferred" independent film of the year. - If this year's Gotham Awards winner is any indication, A Serious Man might be in serious trouble with its Oscar chances as Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker appears to be the "preferred" independent film of the year. The Coen Bros. film lost out in the Best Feature and Best Ensemble categories, but I'm really curious in seeing how this all plays out in the next couple of weeks with the New York based film critics' year end kudos.

ABC has released some promo pics from Lost Season 6, but in keeping with the wishes of producer/writers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse the images depict absolutely nothing. In fact, the thirty-one pictures released so far feature only individual cast members against a mockingly bland slate grey background. It's almost as frustrating as that fade to white from the season 5 finale.
ABC has not said whether or not they will grant Lindelof & Cuse's wishes and not release so much as a single frame from the Lost season six premiere prior to the debut of the ultimate season on February 2nd (Groundhog's day, for you all you time-loop theorists). Fans are clamoring for just a taste of what Lost's sixth and final season has to offer, but this may be all you see until 'La X' begins to roll.
