Gold Derby (Free subscription) | 11/04/2009
Now that a new derby season has begun, my L.A. Times colleague Patrick Goldstein, as usual, confuses it with hunting season and is already taking potshots at other Oscarologists. On Wednesday he blasted away at some pundits who offered their best-picture views to Gold Derby, adding, "Call me old-fashioned, but this is another good reason why all of our nutty Oscar pundits...

L.A. Times columnist Patrick Goldstein echoed my own dismay when he criticized Envelope/Gold Derby columnist Tom O'Neil on 11.2 for posting an anonymous Oscar voter's opinion that This Is It, the Michael Jackson documentary, will grab an Oscar Best Picture nomination. Engaging as the film is, the voter's claim is absurd given the obvious fact that This Is It (a) is first...

... got the heave-ho from USA Today, which is making a lot of people in the community unhappy. And Patrick Goldstein reports that Leah Rozen is out the door at People, though she is going via a nice buyout after 12 years at the ragazine. It's not clear from the piece whether the slot will be filled. But it likely will be... by a small child being moved over from the Tracking Paris Hilton's...

... which to eliminate higher-paid employees — not by a veteran of Rozen’s caliber and experience. As Patrick Goldstein at The Big Picture notes: [I]t’s hardly a surprise to see a talented critic like Rozen rushing for the exit. If you read Time Inc. publications, be it People , Time or Entertainment Weekly , it’s pretty obvious that the magazines put less value on reviews than ever before,...

Patrick Goldstein: Let's be honest. Is there really anyone who is up in arms over Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story being left off the Academy's 15-title short list for the best feature documentary? In fact, I would argue that when it comes to a snub of a much-ballyhooed film, the Academy has never managed to make more people happier."...

Today, much of the confusion appears to be ethnic. * Patrick Goldstein presents the U.K. based “Case of the Vanishing and Less Famous African-Americans.” * Universal is “circling” a director of commercials named Carl Erik Rinsch for a shot at the big time for a new action flick, writes Michael Fleming.

Pooh-poohs reviewer Patrick Goldstein, "If you ever thought it was impossible to top Beck's over-the-top fantasies, listen to Ruppert who says that 'what I see now is the end of a paradigm that is as cataclysmic as the asteroid event that killed almost all the life on Earth, and certainly the dinosaurs.'"...

Patrick Goldstein reviews the documentary that "features a spellbindingly weird one-man monologue by Michael Ruppert, a former LAPD officer and investigative journalist who believes that we are about to run out of oil, an event sure to plunge the world into a state of collapse" — 'Collapse' is the strangest doomsday film yet . The reviewer seems to be a bit out of his...

At Big Hollywood, John Nolte responds to this post by Patrick Goldstein of the LA Times. Nolte correctly points out that a new $150 million biopic of Mohammed — which promises not to show its main character out of respect for Muslim religious taboos — is very different from the treatment Christianity receives in Hollywood.

Like lots of Quentin Tarantino flicks, "Inglourious Basterds" has so many outrageous, quirky elements that it could easily qualify in the comedy categories at the Golden Globes, but the Weinstein Co. will opt for drama. Ultimate classification will be determined by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.'s qualification committee, but it usually defers to what Harvey and Quentin want. Both...

Now that it’s November the preparations for the next Academy Awards have begun in earnest, both at the show production and industry campaigning levels. Most notable is, of course, the announcement that next year’s event would be co-hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin. Martin has hosted the Oscars before (and I think did a great job) while Baldwin is a newcomer and, as Patrick Goldstein...
