We’re nearly a month away from the 85th Academy Awards, and Oscar prognosticators now turn their attention to the various guild awards ceremonies that will be taking place over the next couple of weeks.  The guilds are a major bellwether for Oscar since the crossover between guild voters and Oscar voters is significant, and the Producers Guild Awards were handed out last night, making this already wide open race even more interesting.  Argo won the top prize at the ceremony, positioning the film as a serious Best Picture contender despite Ben Affleck’s lack of a Best Director nomination.  Hit the jump for the full list of winners and what this means for Argo’s Oscar chances.

Statistically speaking, an Oscar Best Director nomination is crucial to a film’s Best Picture chances.  The last film to win Best Picture without a Best Director nomination was 1989’s Driving Miss Daisy.  As we move closer to Oscar, experts seem to be taking two stances regarding Argo: they either think the film could pull out a Best Picture win because Affleck was left off the Best Director list, as a sort of compensation by the Academy to make up for the directors branch’s misatke, or they think Argo will follow in Apollo 13’s footsteps.  Apollo 13 won the PGA, DGA, and SAG awards in 1996, only to see Ron Howard left out of the Best Director Oscar nominations and to lose Best Picture to Braveheart.

Personally, I think Argo just might pull off the big win to close ...]]></description>

		<title>Shawn Levy to Produce SESAME STREET Movie for Fox</title>

Just the other day we mentioned that producer/director Shawn Levy (Real Steel) had added another project to his plate; it looks like he'll be doubling that order with the addition of a Sesame Street feature.  20th Century Fox recently picked up the rights to the long-running educational kids program for Levy to produce through his 21 Laps banner.  Since it's debut in 1969, Sesame Street has hauled in 138 Emmys.  More importantly, it's created iconic and educational characters like Big Bird, Bert and Ernie and Oscar the Grouch, who are recognized all around the world by children of all ages.  But this won't be the first time for Big Bird to be on the big screen.  Hit the jump for more on the Sesame Street feature film. 

Heat Vision reports that Levy is attached to produce the Sesame Street movie, likely in step with Sesame Workshop (formerly Children's Television Workshop).  The famous puppets have left their PBS address twice before: once in 1985 with Follow That Bird, a Warner Bros. production featuring John Candy, Chevy Chase and Dave Thomas alongside the Sesame Street residents; and again in 1999 with Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland. Other famous Jim Henson creations, The Muppets, have had quite the successful run in feature films, notably with last year's iteration and the planned sequel.  It's shaping up to be quite a haul for the Henson estate as even the lowly-yet-lovable Fraggles from Fraggle Rock are looking to get into the big picture business.  Now you can ...]]></description>

Yesterday we brought you the Critics' Choice Award nominees.  Tonight belongs to the Television Critics Association.  Homeland tops the list with 4 nominations.  While it got the extra boost over established veterans in the Outstanding New Program category, the taut thriller earned its spots in Best Drama and Program of the Year as well as the nod to Claire Danes for her stellar performance.  The critics understandably still love Breaking Bad and Bryan Cranston, Mad Men and Jon Hamm, Louie and Louis C.K., Game of Thrones and Peter Dinklage, Parks and Recreation and Amy Poehler.  Creator/star Lena Dunham is the freshest face in the bunch, representing in both Individual Achievement in Comedy and Outstanding New Program with Girls.  But as always, there are a few head-scratchers.  Jessica Lange for American Horror Story is a legacy vote, and while her scenery-chewing was very entertaining---for Individual Achievement in Drama?  No.  And Smash somehow sneaked into Outstanding New Program rather than, say, Veep or Awake.

Still, the TCA always gets more right than they do wrong, especially with their neat Heritage Award.  (This year's eclectic contenders are Cheers, Lost, Saturday Night Live, Star Trek, and Twin Peaks.)  Read the full list after the jump.



Individual Achievement in Drama

Bryan Cranston (“Breaking Bad,” AMC)
Claire Danes (“Homeland,” Showtime)
Peter Dinklage (“Game of Thrones,” HBO)

The Artist has yet again taken home a major Oscar precursor award. The black-and-white silent film was recognized for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Pictures at the 23rd Annual Producers Guild Awards last night. This is yet another notch in the column that points to a very big night for The Artist at the upcoming 84th Academy Awards. In a slight surprise, The Adventures of Tintin was the winner among animated films, besting critical favorite Rango. On the television side of things, Boardwalk Empire won for excellence in dramatic series (beating out fare like Mad Men and Game of Thrones), Modern Family was the winner for the comedies, and the fantastically addictive Downton Abbey won in the movies of the week/mini-series category.

Hit the jump to see the full list of winners.

Here’s the full list of winners for the 23rd Annual Producers Guild Awards:

Elmo is an international icon, but few people know the inspiring story of his creator, Kevin Clash. The documentary Being Elmo: A Puppeteer’s Journey, opening on October 21st in theaters and then premiering on PBS in Spring 2012, tells the story of someone who displayed his creativity and talent from a young age. Dreaming of working with his idol, master puppeteer Jim Henson, he ultimately found a home on Sesame Street, where he has been making children and their families happy, ever since. Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg, the film includes rare archival footage, a behind-the-scenes look at Sesame Street and the Jim Henson Workshop, and a showcase of just how much those lovable characters mean to people of all ages, all over the world.

During this exclusive interview with Collider, puppeteer Kevin Clash talked about how the documentary came about, that the dream of being on Sesame Street started when he was nine years old, how honored he was to work alongside Jim Henson and continue his legacy, how quickly the personality and voice for Elmo came to him, the responsibility of fulfilling a last wish for a sick child, and how fun it was to be a part of the return of the Muppets, voicing a character for the new feature film. Check out what he had to say after the jump.

The Television Critics Association honored the best in television tonight, and NBC’s Friday Night Lights was named Program of the Year for its fifth and final season. Though the show was never a ratings juggernaut, it has been beloved by critics throughout its tenure, and garnered a small but passionate fanbase. AMC’s Mad Men took home the Best Drama prize, while ABC’s Modern Family won Best Comedy at the 27th annual awards show.

It warms my heart to report that Nick Offerman shared the Best Individual Achievement in Comedy award with Modern Family’s Ty Burrell for his genius portrayal of Ron Swanson on NBC’s stellar comedy Parks and Recreation. HBO didn’t go home empty handed, as their smash-hit Game of Thrones won Best New Series. Hit the jump for the full list of winners.

27th Annual TCA Awards Winners:

	Individual Achievement in Drama: Jon Hamm (“Mad Men,” AMC)
	Individual Achievement in Comedy: Ty Burrell (“Modern Family,” ABC) and Nick Offerman (“Parks and Recreation,” NBC)
	Outstanding Achievement in News and Information: “Restrepo” (National Geographic Channel)
	Outstanding Achievement in Reality Programming: “Amazing Race” (CBS)
	Outstanding Achievement in Youth Programming: “Sesame Street” (PBS)
	Outstanding New Program: “Game of Thrones” (HBO)
	Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries and Specials: “Masterpiece: Sherlock” (PBS)
	Outstanding Achievement in Drama: “Mad Men” (AMC)
	Outstanding Achievement in Comedy: “Modern Family” (ABC)
	Career Achievement Award: Oprah Winfrey
	Heritage Award: “The Dick Van Dyke Show”
	Program of the Year: “Friday Night Lights” (DirecTV/NBC)

Sure it was pretty great to have Betty White snag an Emmy winning hosting gig on Saturday Night Live thanks to an online campaign, but that's so last season. The new  hotness comes straight from a place where the air is sweet, a little  place called Sesame Street. The clever minds behind the long-running  children's program are trying to give Cookie Monster the opportunity of a  lifetime by crafting an audition tape featuring the furry, blur glutton  lampooning the staple sketch comedy series with the help of some cookie  humor. The audition tape (which you can see in its entirety below) has  quickly spawned an online campaign via Facebook for the favorite muppet character to actually host Saturday Night Live.

While the thought itself is ripe with opportunities, I'm not sure the  Children's Television Workshop would be too keen on one of their iconic  characters appearing on a late night sketch show more accustomed to  adult humor (although he did make an appearance on The Colbert Report in 2008). However, it would be great if something could be arranged  to have a special primetime episode with Cookie Monster that the whole  family can enjoy. In the meantime, enjoy Cookie Monster's entertaining  audition tape for SNL after the jump.

While most of us are focused on all the new and returning network shows this week, another show premieres in a few days: Sesame Street.  Yes, everyone's favorite show when they were growing up returns for its 41st season on September 27th.

Of course no season of Sesame Street would be complete without the show making fun of pop culture, so they've created a parody of HBO's True Blood called True Mud.  Imagine the opening diner scene from the series premiere with puppets.  It's really worth watching.  Hit the jump to check it out:

Kevin Kline is misunderstood.  His performances on stage and screen over the past four decades are so seamless that audiences often attribute his characters’ traits to him.  That is, of course, a tricky proposition that he observes with a healthy dose of humor.

Kline mused on the topic and several more in an interview leading up to the release of The Extra Man, which opened in several major markets this weekend as part of its continued national rollout.  Hit the jump for the audio and transcript, along with tales of his love for Ricky Gervais, why he’d never run for President and John Cleese’s humorous take on Kline’s performance in The Big Chill.



Kevin Kline’s career path started on a piano bench.  Born and raised in St. Louis, he entered the University of Indiana as a music major before a freshman year acting class convinced him to switch to theater.  Just shy of his 21st birthday, Kline became a member of Juilliard’s initial class of Drama students under the legendary John Houseman (who formed the Mercury Theater Company with Orson Welles in 1937).  Kline and his classmates were so talented (Patti LuPone and David Ogden Stiers were among them), that Houseman kept the group together with the formation of The Acting Company upon their graduation in 1972.

He spent several years in repertory theater with the group and also found a home in productions with Joseph Papp, the founder of New York’s famed Public Theater and its long-running Shakespeare In The Park series.  ...]]></description>
