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.
Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar&#8217;s stop-motion [...]]]></description>

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has invited 134 artists and executives to join its roster in 2009.
As per the Academy&#8217;s press release,  all the various branches could pick a maximum of 166 new members, but as in the previous years &#34;the several branch committees  endorsed fewer candidates than were proposed to them.&#34;
Most of the invitees are actors, among them several previous Oscar nominees, e.g., Casey Affleck, Melissa Leo, Anne Hathaway, Michelle Williams, and lots of young talent, e.g., James Franco, Michael Cera, James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Seth Rogen, Emile Hirsch. (But where are Robert Pattinson and Zac Effron??)

2007 BAFTA Scotland Awards
2007 BAFTA Scotland (aka Scottish Bafta) award winners: City Halls in Glasgow on November 18, 2007
(&#34;*&#34; denotes the winner in each category)
&#160;

The Last King of Scotland, an early 2007 release in the United Kingdom, was the big winner at the 2007 BAFTA Scotland awards. Directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Peter Morgan and Jeremy Brock, the fictional drama revolves around the complex relationship between a Scottish doctor (BAFTA winner James McAvoy) and Uganda dictator Idi Amin Dada (Forest Whitaker). The American Whitaker &#8212; despite having received raves and assorted awards elsewhere earlier in the year (as a 2006 release in the U.S.) &#8212; was deemed ineligible for the Scottish BAFTAs, as the awards are geared to [...]]]></description>

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.
As to be expected, the top nominees were The Queen, with ten nods, and [...]]]></description>
