Grey Gardens

Grey Gardens Director Michael Sucsy Will Now Take THE VOW

Variety is reporting that director Michael Sucsy, who directed the award-winning Grey Gardens last year for HBO, has come on board to direct The Vow.   The film will be based on the true story of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, who were hit by a car two months into their marriage.  The accident left Krickitt in a coma and when she awoke she could remember everyone but had no memories of her husband, their relationship, or their marriage.  This lead to Kim having to woo her again until the couple fell in love…again.  As you can tell, it’s easy to see why their story is ripe for a film adaptation given the success of recent romantic tearjerkers like The Notebook and Dear John.

Suscy will also be rewriting the current script by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein (He’s Just Not That Into You, Never Been Kissed) and I’m going to assume that The Vow will be his next project after he is done working on his next film, The Goree Girls.

MAD MEN and 30 ROCK Win Emmys Again for Best Drama and Best Comedy So No One Will Be Upset

Imagine if the same six or seven movies and their actors, writers, directors, etc. kept getting nominated for Oscars every year.  There would be slight deviations but for the most part, Academy members would just take their ballot from last year, peruse a couple of For Your Consideration ads, maybe read a critic’s list or two as a second source to make sure they weren’t making any selection deemed interesting, and you’d wonder if they just showed a repeat except they somehow replaced Jon Stewart with Hugh Jackman.

“TV’s Finest Night” is always a repeat and you cherish just about anyone who hasn’t won an Emmy in the past no matter the quality of the show.  Yes, “Mad Men” and “30 Rock” are excellent shows but barring a steep decline in quality, I already know who’s going to win next year because the Emmys are a bunch of lazy wimps who don’t watch anything outside the ten shows they already love.  Hit the jump for a list of tonight’s winners and only grumbling since this farce isn’t worth the energy of a blinding rage.
