Nominations? Clint Eastwood doesn’t need any stinkin’ nominations…
Although the 78-year-old was recently overlooked by the Academy, the actor/director still got some respect from the paying public. This past weekend, Gran Torino landed softly into third place and, most importantly, topped the actual Best Picture contenders.
But that’s not to say a nomination is pointless. Last week’s #10, Slumdog Millionaire, jumped 5 positions this week after nabbing 10 nods on Thursday. (It also bested Torino’s per screen average.) Meanwhile, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - thanks to 13 nominations - found itself reentering the Top Ten.

Lil Kim Unhappy with Notorious New Film
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Fox Searchlight, Drama, Celebrity Gossip, Upcoming Releases,
Lil Kim isn’t too happy with the film Notorious, and I’m not referring to Hitchcock’s 1946 joint. The diminutive singer will be characterized in an upcoming biopic of rapper Notorious B.I.G. - she says in a “false portrayal.”
Angela Bassett, Derek Luke, Anthony Mackie, Naturi Naughton and Antonique Smith will star with newcomer Jamal Woolard, who plays the title role in the flick. Currently, Notorious is scheduled to hit theaters on the 16th of January. But Lil Kim says the movie is sensationalized, as films are wont to be.
