Helen Mirren, James McAvoy, Paul Giamatti in The Last Station

AFI FEST 2009, Sat., Nov. 7 at the Santa Monica Laemmle Theater 4 on 2nd Street in Santa Monica.
AFI FEST 2009 comes to a close with the following screenings:

Michael Hoffman&#8217;s The Last Station, which is set near the end of Leo Tolstoy&#8217;s life, has been getting lots of Oscar buzz for its stars: James McAvoy as Tolstoy&#8217;s assistant; Helen Mirren as Tolstoy&#8217;s wife; and Christopher Plummer as the verbose author of the never-ending War and Peace.
Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Ilisa Barbash&#8217;s Sweetgrass offers a look at sheepherding in Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth mountain range. Apart from the sheep and the high peaks, there&#8217;s no  connection to Brokeback Mountain.

2009 Rome Film Festival Awards
2009 Rome Film Festival: Oct. 15-23, 2009
&#160;

Danish-born filmmaker Nicolo Donato&#8217;s feature-film debut,  Brotherhood revolves around a group of Danish neo-Nazis, with particular focus on two members of this group of violent, xenophobic, anti-gay bigots: newbie Lars (Thure Lindhardt), who has been recently discharged from the army, and  Jimmy (David Dencik), one of the leaders of the gang. Things get complicated after Lars moves in with Jimmy and discovers that he feels more than a mere brotherly attachment to his mentor. Even more shocking, Jimmy realizes that he feels something quite special for Lars as well. Now, what to do next? Curiously, three years ago another movie featuring neo-nazis, Shane Meadows&#8216; This Is England, won [...]]]></description>

With an estimated US$41 million take, Cloverfield destroyed its competition at the North American box office this weekend. 
Paramount&#8217;s monster movie directed by Matt Reeves and produced by J. J. Abrams soared past the $35 million record opening of the Star Wars 1997 rerelease. Cloverfield focuses on a small group of friends trying to escape Manhattan while a massive creature rips through the city. 

New entry 27 Dresses (above, with James Marsden and Malin Akerman) ranked in second, pulling in $22.4 million from ticket sales at 3,057 locations. The Anne Fletcher-directed romantic comedy stars Katherine Heigl as a passionate bridesmaid who&#8217;s asked to arrange her sister&#8217;s wedding to the man (Edward Burns) she&#8217;s secretly in love with.

Helen Mirren in The Queen (top); Forest Whitaker in The Last King of England (bottom)

Perhaps there&#8217;s something I&#8217;m missing here, but the Orange British Academy of Film and Television Arts has decided that Kevin Macdonald&#8217;s The Last King of Scotland is the outstanding British film of 2006, coming out ahead of United 93, Notes on a Scandal, Casino Royale, and Stephen Frears&#8216; The Queen. Yet, that very same Orange Academy has picked The Queen as the best film of the year, defeating Little Miss Sunshine, Babel, The Departed, and &#8230; The Last King of Scotland. Go figure.
There were few surprises at the 2007 Bafta ceremony held at London&#8217;s Royal Opera House this evening, unless one considers a Helen Mirren victory [...]]]></description>

Dame Judi Dench roughs up Cate Blanchett after learning that her Notes on a Scandal co-star  voted for fellow Dame Helen Mirren as best actress of 2006

As The Queen, Helen Mirren has brought back to her castle just about every best actress award in the United States. Ironically, she hasn&#8217;t fared all that well in Britain. First, she lost to Kate Dickie (Red Road) at the British Independent Film Awards and now she&#8217;s lost the Evening Standard Award to Judi Dench&#8217;s lonely,  conniving lesbian teacher in Notes on a Scandal. 
As far as the Academy Awards are concerned, there&#8217;s no suspense in the best actress category. Barring a meteor crashing into Earth during the Oscar ceremony, Helen Mirren [...]]]></description>

Following a wild &#8212; but unfulfilling (see how bored she looks?) &#8212; lifetime of food, sex, and murder, Helen Mirren settles down after being elected Queen of England.

More than 100 individuals nominated for the 2007 Oscars &#8212; including 16 of the 20 nominees in the acting categories &#8212; are expected to attend the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences&#8217;  annual nominees luncheon at noon on Monday, Feb. 5, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.
Among those who&#8217;ll have to mind their table manners are Leonardo DiCaprio, Peter O&#8217;Toole, Will Smith, Penélope Cruz, Helen Mirren, Kate Winslet, Adriana Barraza, Abigail Breslin, Rinko Kikuchi, Alan Arkin, Mark Wahlberg, and Jackie Earle Haley.

  Forest Whitaker in The Last King of Scotland (top); Helen Mirren in The Queen (bottom)

The 2007 SAG Award winners  were announced on Sunday, Jan. 28.
Pretty much everybody that was expected to win won, from Helen Mirren and Forest Whitaker to Helen Mirren and Jeremy Irons. (Mirren I won for The Queen; Mirren II for the TV production Queen Elizabeth I.)
Little Miss Sunshine  was the equally unsurprising best ensemble winner. Following on the heels of its Producers Guild Award victory, the low-budget feel-good comedy of the year is now considered the front-runner for the  2007 Academy Awards. 
The problem with that prediction, however, is that Little Miss Sunshine failed to get a best direction [...]]]></description>

Tom O&#8217;Neil in the Gold Derby:
&#34;No, no, no, no &#8212; contrary to some wrongheaded sources over the past few days, Helen Mirren did not make Golden Globe history by becoming the first star to win kudos for acting on film and TV in the same year. Joan Plowright did so back in 1992, winning best supporting actress in [the] film Enchanted April and best supporting TV actress for Stalin.
&#34;In addition to tying Rosalind Russell as the biggest winner of film awards by a woman (five), Meryl Streep tied another Globe record, too. Back in 2003, remember, she won a trophy for appearing on [...]]]></description>

Everything &#8212; at least as far as the winners were concerned &#8212; went according to plan at the 2007 Golden Globe awards ceremony. That is, until the very last winner of the evening was announced: Babel.
Babel??
Set in multiple countries, in multiple time frames, and with dialogue in multiple languages, Babel   (above, with Rinko Kikuchi) was a multiple Golden Globe nominee (7 nods in all, more than any other film) and a multiple loser. As the evening progressed, Babel lost to Dreamgirls (best supporting actress Jennifer Hudson and best supporting actor Eddie Murphy), The Departed (best director Martin Scorsese), The Queen (best screenplay, Peter Morgan), and even The Painted Veil (best music, Alexandre Desplat). 
And then, just like one [...]]]></description>

Helen Mirren, Sylvia Syms in The Queen (top); Daniel Craig in Casino Royale (bottom)

Though usually more open to non-English-language films than the U.S.-based Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Orange British Academy of Film and Television Arts failed to place either Pedro Almodóvar&#8217;s Volver or Guillermo del Toro&#8217;s  Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth as one (or two) of this year&#8217;s best film or best director nominees. 
Pan&#8217;s Labyrinth did, however, receive a total of 8 nominations, including best foreign-language film and best original screenplay (del Toro). Almodóvar had to settle for a nomination in the best foreign-language film category, plus a best actress nod for Penélope Cruz.
