Cynthia Nixon and familyOctober 4, 2010
This past weekend, the New Yorker held its annual festival, which -- as always -- includes a multitude of speakers and panels discussing a variety of topics. Top players in all professions were represented, including Stephen King, Malcolm Gladwell, Jake Gyllenhaal and Regina Spektor -- all chatting about themselves and their areas of expertise. Our favorite, though, would have to have been Cynthia Nixon on the panel discussion "Love and Obstacles: The Case for Gay Marriage."
Ms. Nixon, who is most known for her role has Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, and now is engaged to education activist Christine Marinoni, stole our hearts with her rather calm, well made argument. Not only does she make a good case, she makes an example of how to make said point.
“Gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the vote, they did not redefine voting. When African-Americans got the right to sit at a lunch counter alongside white people, they did not redefine eating out. They were simply invited to the table. And that is all we want to do. We have no desire to change marriage. We want to be entitled to not only the same privileges, but the same responsibilities as straight people.”

The picture Michael K. ran with his latest post on this tabloid crap is priceless.
Dlisted
LOL the US article touting POP as evidence of Jake's power and saying he wants a "nice girl" just like Reese.
Sounds like they stepped in a big load of crap while out apple picking.
5:33, I tend to agree. It's biology, gay or straight. Ah well. :)
^^Like Darwinian natural selection. Not that we should be a slave to our biological drives, but you can see it. But we've all had our days in the sun, so it all works out for everyone most of the time. ;)
WDW update with new Source Code pic. Cool pic.

Sort of OT -
Lively meets Leo!
Newly single Blake Lively dined with Leonardo DiCaprio at NYC eatery The Lion on Wednesday, an insider confirms to UsMagazine.com. (LaineyGossip.com first reported the sighting.)
But Lively, 23, and DiCaprio, 35, weren't alone. "It was an 8 person dinner," the insider explains, adding that director Baz Luhrmann was in attendance.
PHOTOS: Surprise! These celebs are pals
And the meal was strictly business: DiCaprio has been cast as Jay Gatsby in Luhrman's adaptation of The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic book -- and Lively is being strongly considered for the role of Gatsby's love, Daisy Buchanan.
Absolutely gorgeous.
That's why people applauded. He's not willing to play games anymore or try to make his gayness more palatable to the public by claiming to be bi.
Are you stating that (ALL) people who say that they are bisexual are lying and trying to make their sexuality more palatable for the public? (SRAIGHTS and GAYS)?
Is this what you are saying?
Or, Just Men?
Is this what you are saying?
No one ever said that ALL people lie about being bisexual, but we do KNOW that some gays lie about being bisexual, deal with that.
My father was nine years older than my mother and they were happily married for 54 years--right up until my dad passed away two weeks ago.
My father was nine years older than my mother and they were happily married for 54 years--right up until my dad passed away two weeks ago.
To be happily married for 54 years is amazing achievement. :)
I'm sorry to hear about your dad. :(
What age difference has to do with Jake and his potential beard? They are both adults who can sign the showmance contract.
^^If that's all it is, then it makes even less sense to carry on about an age difference.
Married for 54 years is wonderful.
I'm sorry fabout your Dadd, 8:18, also.
well maybe the taylor thing is working, people are now twittering about Jake being a good guy and seeing the LAOD trailer and wanting to see the movie.
If Shifty Swifty helps Jake's career than she has my vote besides its not like I would ever have a shot at him.
"Absolutely gorgeous."
If you mean Leo yes, Blake then no. That girl only has legs that go on forever but she is no great beauty. Or that pretty.
What does Taylor have to do with people wanting to see LAOD? More likely it is the the fact that the trailer has started running on TV this week.

Exactly. They're running the trailer a lot.
I noticed that many male celebs date or have PR relationships (or both combined) with much younger women... DiCaprio, Clooney now Jake and the list goes on.
Oh, come on. DiCapiro and Clooney are with gorgeous, sexy models. They might be a lot younger than them, but they are women who look and act like women, not little girls making cutesy heart signs with their hands.
If you mean Leo yes, Blake then no.
I think Blake has a classy look about her that would make a perfect Daisy Buchanan. With Baz Luhrmann directing, The Great Gatsby should be wonderful.
PR have discovered the real name of one of the OMG regulars, and now comments are being moderated. Funny, the blog says "for entertainment purposes only". I'm sure PR are having an entertaining time...
No one cared about TR Knight and his much younger boyfriend because this blog is about Jake and Austin. A 10 year difference at 20 vs 29 is a lot different than 30/39 or 40/49. There is a huge difference in maturity between 20 and 30. Besides she acts like a child. That is why it is creepy.
Sounds like the troll got booted off OMG just like they have been booted from other blogs. There are not many left that they are allowed to visit.

Cut the bullshit, trolly.
Tell that to Amy. lol
Who is Amy?

Three weeks to go, it's time to start the LAOD promotion :)

Nonsense, PR doesn't care about OMG posters.
About comments being moderated - comments are public like before, only troll shit gets deleted without publishing.
PR has discovered the real name of one of the OMG regulars, and now comments are being moderated.
And that is where you're totally wrong, slimeball troll. But you go on thinking that - it's amusing.
Besides, there is no lurking PR, remember?
Your knickers seem rather knotted if all this is BS.
Made up bullshit, as usual - trolly has wild imagination.
Funny when the name was first posted on OMG, it was instantly deleled. Geez, that sure sounds like it didn't mean anything to a certain someone!
Who is Amy?
Oh you mean Amy ***** ****. She's an OMG regular!
Troll posts are deleted, nothing funny about that.
The birth of his sons Valentino and Matteo in 2008 was a life-changing event for Ricky Martin in many ways. Not only did he become a father, but it made him decide to reveal to the world that he's gay.
"The moment I sat down and held my children in my arms, I said enough is enough," the singer tells USA Today. "I need to tell the world what I'm about, my nature, because not doing so would be teaching my children how to lie. I didn't want it to be, 'At home, we're one thing, but when we go out, we're another.'"
Though he was worried about the response the news would get, he says reaction from fans, friends and family has been "beautiful."
"When my babies were born, my father said, 'Now it's time to come out!'" he reveals. "So imagine the support system that I had."
Ricky, 38, says that he'd always dreamed of having a family.
"I always saw myself as a father. I have amazing memories of moments I spent with my dad. To be quite honest, I didn't know it was going to be two (babies). ... Your priorities change. Even the way I drive is different. Once again, it's not about me anymore, now I know what unconditional love is."
The 'Livin' La Vida Loca' singer chronicles his life - including his childhood, fame and path to fatherhood - in his new memoir titled Me.
Ricky Martin: "I Know What Unconditional Love Is"
Besides she acts like a child. That is why it is creepy.
IA.

She's a barely legal Lolita. But whatever floats your boat, I guess. At least she's not underage.
Just Jared
Visiting medical building usually means he's getting ready for a new project. I hope so. It's about time for him to work again.
New project would be great :)
(((((Ricky))))) is a great guy.
A few years ago SK posted some pics of herself and some othe OMG'ers from a get together, I remember what SK, Tom, Destiny, Wicked and a couple of others look like, some no longer post there anymore. PG wasn't in that group photo but I know what she looks like.
The personal comments from the "troll" over there is probably from a from "pal" of theirs. Sharing personal info is a no-no with online fandom because when shit hits the fan, then well you know.
Tomis from Mt. Laurel, SK used to work with emoitionally challenged people and I think PG mentioned that she is on meds but the "troll" seems to know more unless that stuff about Tom using Oil of Olay could be a joke!
Anyone has Ricky's number?
That should be "former pal" and the Tom is from Mt. Laurel stuff is from info they themselves posted about themselves. It's so easy to find out personal info when you give away to much
There is a huge difference in maturity between 20 and 30.
A lot of the time, yes. But everyone is different, you can't generalize. Some people are more mature than their age would indicate, others never grow up. At almost 21, a lot of people are finished college, some are married, starting to build their own families and careers and lives.
I think PG mentioned that she is on meds but the "troll" seems to know more unless that stuff about Tom using Oil of Olay could be a joke!
^^^ lmao
others never grow up.
I think we can see that.
I gotta laugh at some babblers. I know how they praised Jake's maturity for hooking up with an oder mom of two. Giving them some irrational hope that some hottie like Jakey boy would hook up with some middle aged lady like them. Now Jakey got himself some very fresh meat and no wonder some lady babblers are not too happy about it. LOL.
Witherspoon did say Jake wasn't mature enough. Who knows maybe she was right.
others never grow up.
I think we can see that.
What can you see? I'm the personified maturity!!!
No, I meant the trolls and some of the J&A crew, making up stories and speculations about others.
LOL at babblers. I haven't been there, but I peeked at Lashers and they were less than enthused at first and now the silence is deafening, they're obviously hoping it will all just go away, it's too embarrassing. A huge difference from Reeke when they were buying wedding gifts immediately.
I don't think I'd describe Swifty as "meat", maybe scrawny cold cuts, lol.
No, I meant the trolls and some of the J&A crew, making up stories and speculations about others.
They are most def. immature too, yeah.
If you believe Jake has multiple babies hidden away, then it's really not too much of a stretch to believe that Jersey Tom piles on Oil of Olay every night!
She's a barely legal Lolita.
Except that Lolita had sex appeal.
A huge difference from Reeke when they were buying wedding gifts immediately.
Yup, yup, yup. LOL.
Trying to blacklist someone.
If it was ever true about Reese, probably she didn't want to start a family all over again, she'd done that.
If it was ever true about Reese, probably she didn't want to start a family all over again, she'd done that.
Same with Toth, if it's genuine, I still doubt she'll start family with him. She has two kids already and it'll stay like that, I think.
It was kind of offensive that they wanted to turn Reese into a baby making machine. Taylor, on the other hand, if that is even true, hasn't had many relationships - 3 months here and there, so she could be ready for a serious relationship at her age.
Even if Jake and Taylor are dating (I think it's also a PR relationship for obvious reasons), it won't last very long.
If Taylor is ready for any kind of relationship she should start hanging out with straight guys.
youdontknowfilm: saw Love and Other Drugs today at an industry screening. Absolutely gorgeous with great performances from Annie and Jake. Go see it!
about 1 hour
When's the premiere of LAOD tonight? Anyone knows?
If Taylor is ready for any kind of relationship she should start hanging out with straight guys.
LOL. Yes, that would fall under Step #1...
I heard gay/bi rumors about Taylor Lautner. Are there gay/bi rumors about Joe Jonas too? I think John Mayer is someone who likes to experiment with guys, but seems mostly into women though.
There are tons gay rumors about Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas.

Are you a longtime poster here?
I can't believe anyone with half a brain who has followed Jake for say the last 3 years believes for a second he's dating Taylor for real. This guy is an insecure famewhore who clings to famous women to stay in the spotlight. It's not even about bearding anymore, it's about Jake's sad and desperate need for attention.
I see. I heard about Taylor rumors, not about Joe.
Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas are both gay and Taylor Swift was their beard.
Taylor Swift is Ted's blind vice "Priscilla Desert". She was "Parrish Maguire" (Taylor Lautner)'s beard.
Priscilla Desert blind items - blinditemsexposed
Ha!
Ted is obsessed with Jake. It's official.
E Online
Dear Ted:
When will my two doggies hear more about their favorite Blind Vices, Priscilla Desert and Me-Me Dallas? Will another teen in their circle join the Blind Vice club soon?
—Hannah
Dear Doggy Lady:
You already do! Both are in the blogs practically every day. Ya'll just aren't keepin' your doggy ears and eyes out for the clues.
Dear Ted:
Was just looking at your post about the Best Actress Oscar race this year, and it got me wondering: Of the eight women you featured, am I right that at least four of them (or more?) are Blind Vices or have been mentioned in one?
—Emily
Dear Golden Vice:
There is always more to Vice, if you catch my drift, or in other words: Annette Bening, Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Natalie Portman, Michelle Williams, Diane Lane. [Ted struck out Annie's name and Naomi Rapace]
Dear Ted:
Rumor has it that things are rocky in the Jensen Ackles-Danneel Harris marriage. Is the weekend commute getting to be too much and sending the couple straight to splitsville, or is the live-in brother really just helping out with work on the house?
—Tica
Dear Trouble in CW:
The two definitely make a hot pairing, but the miles could be an issue—distance doesn't always make the heart grow founder. But then again, Sophia Bush and Chad Michael Murray got hot and heavy on and off the same set, and still called it quits. Let's just hope the Ackles-Harris marriage doesn't experience the CW love curse. Soph still hasn't been informed about the CW love bug, hate to break it!
Bitch Back
Ted is obsessed with Jake. It's official.
That's been official for years now, lol. Ted knows he can't out Jake, but I think he felt like he was challenged when "Toothy" said he knew Ted wouldn't ever out him. So he takes every opportunity he can to make it obvious. And what does "career confidant" mean? One of Jake's PR people?
it's about Jake's sad and desperate need for attention.
Well even JIS fans must have noticed that, even if they don't admit it.
Also, we are still fans or followers despite all of Jake's flaws, aren't we?

Ted made himself uncredible with many of his Toothy tales, like BT...puhlease! The only thing I tend to believe is him spying on Jaustin in that restaurant holding hands. C'est tout. Everything else is either made up or exaggerated, imo. I believe that whatever that was with Jaustin (relationship, affair, experiment) it's over and out.
There are many closeted bi or gay people in Hollywood, but Ted's totally fixated on Jake, like unhealthy even, imo.
I just can't believe Maggie is ok with this, his Mom yes.
Oh well, jake will probably marry someone one day, female of course. Oh well, its Taylor for now and wonder how long it will last. Maybe the attraction is that she is so busy with her career that she will not want to monopolize all this time. I can't believe "all the people" around him are ok with someone who can potentially hurt his reputation as a "good guy". But of course that could also backfire on her if she does because no one would be believe her anymore.
Thats a plus in this new romance, I don't think anyone will be buying her "poor me in love" songs anymore. She has overdid it.
Ted made himself uncredible with many of his Toothy tales, like BT...puhlease!
Huh? Puhlease what? How does that relate to anything I wrote? I never said I believe everything Ted writes. But Jake is still gay regardless :) Besides, you're the one who posted the link to Ted's post. LOL. Why are you even following what Ted says?
Maybe the attraction is that
The attraction is that she has a huge following, sells millions of records, and is one of the most talked about females in show biz right now. Oh, and she's an experienced and willing beard :)
Also, we are still fans or followers despite all of Jake's flaws, aren't we?
Nah. I, for one, still follow Jake with the perverse curiosity of an onlooker at a car crash scene. Just.can't.look.away.
Why are you even following what Ted says?
I was googling Jake and found this and read it. What should I say?
Damn, blogger deleted ONTD Joe Jonas post!
I, for one, still follow Jake with the perverse curiosity of an onlooker at a car crash scene. Just.can't.look.away.
Yeah, I can see that. I don't dislike him, he seems like a nice guy and he's a good actor. But I can't say I respect him. IMO, he doesn't appear to respect himself.
Damn, blogger deleted ONTD Joe Jonas post!
Shit! I'll try again, maybe without linky.
Looks like this is the only place left for the troll to hang around. Keep making up stories but it wont make Jake straight or eliminate baby tile.

Okay, this is weird. Blogger just deleted it again and there was no link.

Joe Jonas used Demi Lovato for Publicity
I don't dislike him
I don't either, I actually feel sorry for him. He may be rich and good looking but I think he has some serious issues deep down.
Okay, this is weird. Blogger just deleted it again and there was no link.
Blogger is 'Joe Jonas Is Straight' believer!
DEMI Lovato’s relationship with Joe Jonas was a publicity stunt — but she wasn’t in on it — according to a shocking new report.
Sources say the Jonas Brothers rocker was approached by Disney publicists about the possibility of having him and Demi “date” in order to bring in ratings for Camp Rock 2.
“Demi had no idea that Joe was just using her” said one insider, “and when she found out that the whole relationship was “just for show she had a mental breakdown over everything.
Keep making up stories but it wont make Jake straight or eliminate baby tile.
What did I make up? I never said Jake was straight. To tell you the truth, I'd love for Jake to be a dad, I think he'd be a good one.... some day. But BT is just too ridiculous to be true. Jake also seems too immature right now and his current public, female compagnion has a little kid mentality too. Jake is not mature enough to be a father. Not yet.
Could you please stop calling people "trolly" who don't believe everything Ted says or in BT? It's starting to get annoying. Thanks.
DEMI Lovato’s relationship with Joe Jonas was a publicity stunt — but she wasn’t in on it — according to a shocking new report.
It was easy to see that the "relationship" is a showmance, but I don't believe for a second that she didn't know.
Demi didn't know that the relationshp was a publicity stunt? LOL. How's that possible? You can't possibly be that dumb?
What really happened to her? Drugs?
Jonas is an asshole.
If Ted says toothy will never come out, then thatlets Ted off the hook about revealing the blind item. I want to believe Jake is toothy but its too easy of a guess. IF Jake is toothy or gay, he will never come out and no one including girlfreinds will out him. Jake wasn't always as famous as he is now, there had to be prior boyfriends. Why haven't they outed him. Toothy Tile may never be revealed. Actors have gone to their graves without their sexuality being known until decades later.
Blogger is 'Joe Jonas Is Straight' believer!
LOL. Apparently so.
Jonas is an asshole.
Please. 100.000 young actresses would give everything to be JJ's "girlfriend" and Demi Lovato was lucky enough to be that.
Not saying Jonas is straight, but straight celebs have staged relationships too for publicity and attention, it's not just gays in order to hide their sexuality.
Like who?
I still find the idea of Jake "dating" someone who "dated" Joe Jonas and Taylor Lautner hilarious. Jake wants to be like the Disney&Twilight kids?

Guess you didn't see Ricky Martin's interview with Oprah. Oprah asked him if he feared guys he had been with would out him, and he said not one of them ever came forward.
Like who?
Affleck and Lopez, Timberlake and Biel come to mind.
Jake wants to be like the Disney&Twilight kids?
The Vampire Weekend video shoiul've been an early indication. ;)

I was just about to say this! This is why he appears to have no self-respect. Now, in addition to gay rumors, he's also a link in the tacky "Six Degrees of Disney Bearding and PR Stunts." Good going, Jake!
In all honesty, she loved Joe, and to find out it was all fake, destroyed her.
Better love than drugs!
Oprah asked him if he feared guys he had been with would out him, and he said not one of them ever came forward.
Ricky Martin on Oprah
ngl, watching him with his kids made me cry.
PR said...
Better love than drugs!
Love is a drug!
I'm following tweets about Ricky, watched The View, and Today show and Spanish interview ... and saving Oprah show for later :)
LOL @ Ed Zwick!
He seduced her by constantly flashing his six-pack? How do you get a job writing PR, because seriously it would be so much fun and I would be lmao all day coming up with this shit. No "canoodling" but there is a "smitten."
Taylor Lautner reportedly dating Lily Collins
The pairing no one could've predicted...
The 'Twilight' actor is said to have been romancing the 21-year-old actress for "almost four months" after meeting on the set of their forthcoming movie 'Abduction'.
Since finishing the movie, Taylor is now working in Louisiana on 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn' and according to Us Weekly magazine, Lily "plans on hanging out there a lot."
The pair were first romantically linked in July, when it was reported the 18-year-old actor had seduced his co-star on the set of the film by "constantly flashing his shirtless six pack," despite her having a boyfriend.
A source said at the time: "Lily told pals that she wasn't looking to fall in love, but soon realised she had strong romantic feelings.
"Taylor was smitten from day one, but Lily let him know she was in a relationship with a stuntman who was working on a Steven Spielberg movie in New Mexico. When the boyfriend got suspicious because Lily didn't return calls promptly, he hopped a plane and turned up unannounced to confront her."
and saving Oprah show for later :)
Ricky is wonderful on it! It's impossible not to love him.
Just saw the Ricky interview on Oprah. He was wonderful and it was such a great interview.
Interesting though, nobody on this blog has spoke about Ricky's comment about his coming out and a person's timing and him being Ready. "It's his life so he had to be ready". No one else. It was a spiritual thing he said, but he had to be ready. He also talked about some trying to pull people out of the closet and the bullying that takes place when a person (himself) may not be ready yet.
He said that IT IS WRONG. I agree.
This includes JAKE also (IF) he is actually Gay or Bi.

Ah, such lofty words, 1:34PM. But somehow you found your way to this blog, lol. Must have been by accident ;) A couple things: Ricky specifically mentioned the Barbara Walters interview where she would not stop questioning him and he felt under attack. Jake has never had an interview like that. Also, no one "forced" Jake to give interviews where he spoke freely about things such as all guys being sexually attracted to another guy at some time, or the interview where he said he wouldn't mind if people thought of him as bi-sexual. He freely said those things. No one forced those words out of his mouth. Sorry, but Jake makes things harder on himself with his constant need for the spotlight to be on him. Despite his protests, he obviously loves being in the tabloids. No one gets involved in a "relationship" with Academy Award Winner Reese Witherspoon, sets ups tons of phony pap pics, and then gets in a "relationship" with the it girl of music, Taylor Swift, by accident. If you're trying to make people feel guilty, you're going to have to take your preaching somewhere else :)
Sorry 2:16. Those were Ricky's words, not mine. Are you aware that Ricky and a host of other stars have said that they were straight or not gay in interviews?
They do this because they are not ready to come out.
So what Ricky said to B. Walters and Jake said to some magazine is irrelevent, that's if Jake is gay.
Most gay people believe that it is a gay persons right, not the fans, to come out of the closet when he or she is ready. Besides trying to pull a famous person out of the closet just so some fan can say "see, he's one of us" is not the answer. You may have come out of the womb knowing and admitting that you were gay, but for most gay people that journey is different and takes time. Are you aware of this? Ricky explained his journey. Sure it would help the cause of gay people if all famous gay people came out, but it don't happen that way.
No, I'm not trying to make anyone feel guilty. Ricky has stated that he feels trying to pull someone out of the closet when they are (not ready) is a form of bullying. I agree with him. You may not.
Sorry, you just have to deal with it. Wonderful interview from Ricky.
Also, I found my way to the original WFT blog years ago. I was waiting for Toothy to come out as Bi or Gay, it does not matter.
And still don't.
I don't think it will be happening anytime soon. And I'm not mad.
And YOU?
No one is trying to pull Jake out of the closet. The issue is not his privacy, it's his public behavior and his manipulative ways. What has recently become even more disturbing is how reclusive and grim he appeared all summer long, after he tried to get everyone to go see PoP. Now, that he's trying to get people in the theater seats for LAOD and shipping his new apple pickin', ice cream lickin' "romance," he's all of sudden all smiles again.
Jake could easily just live his life in a glass closet, but he continues to push a heterosexual image as the only acceptable existence for a leading man in Hollywood. His a serial liar who evidently has little respect for his fans or himself.
Wow, 3:03, 3:07, not only do you make a lot of assumptions, you also didn't seem to comprehend the post. I know what Ricky said. I've watched the interview, and I even posted a link a couple days quoting what he said about how he wasn't ready. You seem to be under the impression that the people on this blog have the power to try and pull Jake out of the closet. Newsflash: NO ONE THINKS THAT. So please get down off your high horse.
I doubt if Jake will ever come out, let alone anytime soon. So what? Of course I'm not mad about it. Why would I be mad? If anything, it's sad. You still don't see your hypocrisy - the original WFT was years ago and you're still here. Very odd if you think this blog is responsible for bullying anyone to come out of the closet. Looks like you think that if you repeatedly use the words "IF he's gay or bi" (IN CAPS!!) that it sets you apart from all the "bullies" who don't qualify everything they write the way you think they should. Apparently, you believe everyone should start all their posts with the words 'IF HE'S GAY OR BI...' LOL.
Excellent post, 3:42PM.
OSCAR: Vets Spotlight Strong Best Actor Field
After a 3-part series highlighting the 2010 Best Picture hopefuls and their realistic Oscar chances, I now turn to the acting races beginning with the men in contention for their lead performances. Of course there is always debate over what constitutes a leading vs supporting role and indeed the line does get blurred in some instances for competitive reasons. For instance, in 1991, Anthony Hopkins probably could have gone either way for his Hannibal Lecter in Silence Of The Lambs but went for lead and won. Conversely, after toying with a push for lead in 2005’s Syriana, George Clooney made the strategic switch to the less competitive supporting category and won. Interestingly, he faced off against Brokeback Mountain’s co-lead Jake Gyllenhaal who dropped down to supporting category in order to avoid facing off against his co-star Heath Ledger who was eventually nominated for lead actor. Over the course of this young awards season, there has been some buzz here and there about the category status of leading men like Wall Street: Money Never Sleep’s Michael Douglas, The Fighter’s Christian Bale, The Kings Speech’s Geoffrey Rush, Fair Game’s Sean Penn, and Another Year’s Jim Broadbent. All of them have now comfortably settled into supporting mode – at least in the eyes of the studios campaigning them. As far as the Academy is concerned, the ultimate decision will be up to the actors' peer group and that branch is always capable of surprise. Here is the rundown of those who remain firmly committed to going after the top prize for Best Actor In A Leading Role:
COLIN FIRTH in THE KING’S SPEECH (The Weinstein Co) - As the stuttering King George VI, Firth faces a difficult language challenge that he flawlessly pulls off while delivering a 3-dimensional portrait of a man who overcomes all odds to lead his country in a time of war. OSCAR CHANCE: After getting his feet wet in the awards season game with his Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning performance in A Single Man, Firth seems ready to go for all the gold this time around. The fact that the movie is likely to be a frontrunner can only help his chances here. At this early stage, it could be Firth’s to lose.
JAMES FRANCO in 127 HOURS (Fox Searchlight) - As Aron Ralston, the extreme sports aficionado who cuts off his own arm when he winds up between a rock and a hard place, Franco is virtually never off screen and has the kind of tour-de-force role that makes people stand up and take notice. OSCAR CHANCE: Would seem a shoo-in for a nomination if queasy voters don’t pass out while watching their screeners (which keeps happening at the Industry screenings). Depending on the movie’s fate, Franco could be disarming competition on the final ballot, too.
ROBERT DUVALL in GET LOW (Sony Pictures Classics) - An Oscar winner in this category in 1983 for Tender Mercies, Duvall is an actor's actor who is back in a strong leading role and runs with it. If the performance can regain momentum from its summer opening, Duvall should be back in the game for the 7th time. OSCAR CHANCE: The film was a strong specialty success for Sony Pictures Classics which plans to go all out for their star. Duvall is on the circuit working it, too, so his Get Low chances seem high if he can keep the Big Mo going.
JEFF BRIDGES in TRUE GRIT (Paramount) - Very few have yet seen the Coen Brothers take on this western classic but coming off his big Best Actor win for last year’s last minute stealth entry, Crazy Heart and back firmly in character mode Bridges’ interpretation of Rooster Cogburn may be well timed. OSCAR CHANCE: Only two other actors in history, Spencer Tracy and Tom Hanks, have been able to pull off back-to-back Best Actor wins but several have done the win/nomination combo and that may be what Bridges settles for here. John Wayne won the 1969 Best Actor prize for the original and no actor has managed the feat of duplicating an Oscar win by playing the same role in a remake.
LEONARDO DiCAPRIO in SHUTTER ISLAND (Paramount) and INCEPTION (Warner Bros) - To be or not to be, that is the question for Leo. To be nominated for Shutter Island , a February release or Inception, a July release or to be totally forgotten by actors with short memories. Both Leo studios are planning a big push and he’s got highly emotional moments in each but the big question is does he cancel himself out? OSCAR CHANCE: This guy is overdue but runs the risk of being completely overlooked because unfortunately he is really good in both. Shutter shows the wider range and Martin Scorsese directed him into a previous nomination for The Aviator so it’s probably the best bet if he just wants to get behind one pony in this race and avoid the split votes.
MARK WAHLBERG in THE FIGHTER (Paramount) - As ‘Irish’ Mickey Ward, Massachusettes native Wahlberg is jumping into the Oscar ring with another Boston-bred character in this emotional true life boxing story. His first nomination came in 2006 for supporting in another Boston-based project, The Departed so his home turf has been good to him. OSCAR CHANCE: The film is still largely a mystery but has nevertheless generated strong early buzz for co-stars Christian Bale,Amy Adams and Melissa Leo but they are all in support. Whether Wahlberg can carry the flag in the lead category against stiffer competition is a question which should begin to be answered once Paramount starts screenings in earnest next week.
BEN AFFLECK in THE TOWN (Warner Bros) - Affleck wrote and directed himself into his finest performance in years in this gritty crime drama also set in the Boston area. Another native using his hometown for inspiration , Affleck hit all the right notes in a film that has been one of the Fall’s big adult success stories. OSCAR CHANCE: The actors branch love fellow thesps who can do it all so they might want to reward Affleck with his first acting nod but it’s something of a long shot. He could get points though for suffering the slings and arrows of critics and coming back so strongly following the Eastwood model.
JESSE EISENBERG in THE SOCIAL NETWORK (Sony Pictures) - It certainly could be ‘the role he was born to play’. There hasn’t been a greater match between actor and role all year than watching Eisenberg come into his own playing the ever-so-complex Mark Zuckerberg. OSCAR CHANCE: With his adept handling of Aaron Sorkin’s dazzling dialogue, Eisenberg will no doubt impress fellow actors and it’s the kind of intelligent script young thesps are rarely handed. Despite usual reluctance to nominate actors in this age range in the Best Actor category , Eisenberg is a real contender.
JAVIER BARDEM in BIUTIFUL (Roadside Attractions) - Bardem won a supporting Oscar playing the essence of evil in 2007’s No Country For Old Men but in the Spanish language Biutiful he delivers a full stops-out turn of breathtaking force that took Cannes by storm and landed him the Best Actor prize. OSCAR CHANCE: Cannes isn’t always the best barometer for Oscars and Bardem has to overcome possible reluctance on the part of voters to endure such dark material . Foreign language turns are tougher to get into the race but this one may be irresistible. It’s his best work.
AARON ECKHART in RABBIT HOLE (LionsGate) - Based on the Pulitzer Prize and Tony winning Broadway play Rabbit Hole is a heartbreaking,sometimes oddly funny dissection of a married couple who try to survive the tragedy of losing their 4 year old son in an accident. Opposite Nicole Kidman , Eckhart has his best screen moments yet. OSCAR CHANCE: It’s a real actors’ vehicle. Many use scenes from the play for auditions and they should like what Eckhart does here. He could be a sleeper entry from this Toronto pickup and mid-December release.
MICHAEL DOUGLAS in SOLITARY MAN (Anchor Bay) - Released in May this small character-driven indie drama gave Douglas solidly unsympathetic material to play as an asshole down-on-his-luck used car dealer. Reviews for his performance were stellar but the film wasn’t widely seen. OSCAR CHANCE: The sympathy factor for his ongoing battle with Cancer aside, this role is a worthy contender and Anchor Bay was wise to get the screener out early so actors have been watching it already. Due to limited campaign money, this is another longshot but could be a real contender for a spot if it is able to up its profile and grab enough eyeballs.
RYAN GOSLING in BLUE VALENTINE (The Weinstein Co) - As a young husband trying to keep his crumbling marriage and family together Gosling opposite Michelle Williams is intense and memorable. Ever since its debut at Sundance critics have praised the raw acting and it’s probably catnip for the actors branch who have already nominated him once for the equally intense and low-budget Half-Nelson. OSCAR CHANCE: Gosling is going to win one day but maybe not for this currently NC-17 rated drama. A nomination however is entirely possible. His colleagues clearly admire the chances he takes.
KEVIN SPACEY in CASINO JACK (ATO) - A two time Oscar winner, Spacey is popular with his peers and here gets to give a full-bodied comic portrayal of disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. The film gets an Oscar qualification run in December but sadly its 47 year old director George Hickenlooper didn’t live to see his hoped-for contender take flight. OSCAR CHANCE: Spacey delivers with a wry and funny Abramoff but the question remains whether enough people will even see it if this little indie gets outspent and drowned out in the year-end influx of screenings and screeners.
JAKE GYLLENHAAL in LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS (20th Century Fox) - Gyllenhaal has never been better or more appealing in this vibrant and sexy comedy where he is teamed opposite Anne Hathaway. OSCAR CHANCE: It could be perceived as too light and frothy to compete against some of the heavier contenders in the category. Gyllenhaal’s best shot will likely be at the Golden Globes in the Comedy or Musical category, but people will love the side of him he gets to show here and it could give him a real shot to win there.
Now, that he's trying to get people in the theater seats for LAOD and shipping his new apple pickin', ice cream lickin' "romance," he's all of sudden all smiles again.
LOL Wait a minute here. Jake is an actor. His job is, he acts. Yes he has fans, but people who go to movies go to see them because of the subject matter, interest in a number of things, not just the actor. If actors counted on just fans turning out to see his movies they would be in troulbe. If you no longer like his image, Then What on Earth are you here on this site for? Surely there are better actors and OUT actors out there for you to feel good about.
Jake could easily just live his life in a glass closet, but he continues to push a heterosexual image as the only acceptable existence for a leading man in Hollywood. His a serial liar who evidently has little respect for his fans or himself.
You don't have to watch or be a fan of his anymore if you don't agree or like what he is doing. Then why are you here? To criticize him endlessly?
3:45 Apparently CAPS bother you. You'll get over it. I like them.
Yes I do think some posters here unending tantrums of Jake is this, Jake is that because he has not come out as they wish, is a form of bullying, and apparently Ricky Martin feels that people who do this are bullys also.
If you can't see it and only do it for your entertainment then stop calling yourself a fan or those who claim to be fans, because what you are is more of a fan of Gay Jake, not Jake the person.
There is a difference.
So why get upset if he is not ready to come out and does what every in the closet gay or bi person does?
You have to either be patient or Move on. Stop the BULLYING.
It's not gonna make him come out any faster. OK
The Coming Out Cryers like to think that their busybody opinions don't make a difference, but it does turn off fans - I can't read about it anymore, it's like a long, drawn-out root canal with no anesthesia to even visit those blogs anymore. It should go without saying, what Ricky said - that a person has to come out when they are ready and in their own time.
JAKE GYLLENHAAL in LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS (20th Century Fox) - Gyllenhaal has never been better or more appealing in this vibrant and sexy comedy where he is teamed opposite Anne Hathaway. OSCAR CHANCE: It could be perceived as too light and frothy to compete against some of the heavier contenders in the category. Gyllenhaal’s best shot will likely be at the Golden Globes in the Comedy or Musical category, but people will love the side of him he gets to show here and it could give him a real shot to win there.
Ah, Jake is being rewarded by the industry for his bearding/closeted ways. A friend of mine indicated that he thought that's why Maggie was nominated this past year because "she helps her little brother in small and big ways."
I saw LaOD and it was a B- film. Jake was certainly fine but his performance was not award worthy. This nonsense proves to me that Jake will be involved with Swyll for awhile. The old, "You scratch our back, we'll scratch yours."
a person has to come out when they are ready and in their own time
Does gossiping and speculating = pulling celebrity out of the closet?
4:11PM, Jake seems like he's basically a good person and I don't wish for bad things to happen to him. I always hope his movies do well, why wouldn't I? But I'm not going to fawn over him and I'm not going to pretend that I like stuff when I don't.
You seem to be confused though about what this blog is. But since you like caps, I'll use them :) THIS IS A 'JAKE IS GAY' BLOG. THE ENTIRE PREMISE OF THE BLOG IS BUILT AROUND THE BELIEF THAT JAKE IS GAY. IT IS NOT IHJ, IT IS NOT WDW, IT IS NOT GYLLENBABBLE. IT IS NOT THE DC FORUM. THERE ARE A WIDE VARIETY OF VIEWPOINTS EXPRESSED ON THIS BLOG. Some people are Jake "fans" who drool over him. Some people think it's interesting to watch what he will do next. Some people like him but aren't afraid to criticize him. Some people are indifferent to him. So different people are here for different reasons. This bothers you, but that's no one's problem but your own. I'm not mad or upset, but you sure seem to be bothered by what goes on here since you won't stop preaching. Maybe you should "move on" from lecturing people :)
So why get upset if he is not ready to come out and does what every in the closet gay or bi person does?
READ MY LIPS - no one should tell other people what they should feel, wish or want. NO ONE. That includes you.
I can't read about it anymore,
Okay. Bye, 4:18PM :) (But we all know you won't really leave, don't we? :D )
another run of the mill Jake has not come OUT used to be Fan, no, it's a GayJakeOnlyFan. Loving and eating up anything that will help with their "Jake is failing, Oh good" attitude because he has not come out for them. It never ends.
^^^^ 4:27 and 4:30 are
another run of the mill Jake has not come OUT used to be Fan, no, it's a GayJakeOnlyFan. Loving and eating up anything that will help with their "Jake is failing, Oh good" attitude because he has not come out for them. It never ends.
4:32 PM - your made up bullshit never ends. You can read people's minds?
No one from this blog has ever given concrete proof that there is a chance Jake is gay. And please don't say bearding with Reese or the fauxmance. Straight people in HW doing it all the time. And don't use Ted's Toothy because Jake is the only one that hasn't been notted, maybe because Ted knows he's has people believing its Jake. ANd not the DL BS.
ANd before you ask, yes I can prove Jake is straight better than you can prove he's gay. He has dated, lived and had sex with women including Kirsten. There is not one shred of tangible proof that Jake is gay. My proof that he is straight totally blows your wishing away. Just one piece of proof and the LA Laker game with Austin, it was clear they were joking, just give me something. A picture, an old boyfriend or a first hand account of Jake romantically involved with a man.
I don't believe Reese and Jake were ever going to get married and that 80% of it was for PR but that doesn't mean he's gay. SHowmances are not about sexuality but publicity.
I have no problem with people keeping their life private and not coming out; I do have a problem with serial liars who use phony relationships to sell and market themselves and/or to get attention.
On The View Ricky said that he had no hard feelings towards Barbara Walters and that she was just doing her job when she asked him about the rumors many years ago and that she was not wrong to do it.
I challenged anyone on this blog to provide tangible proof. I don't need to be convince he's straight, he has done that himself. He has really bad tastes in women but that just makes him stupid not gay.
How come no one has ever asked Jake if he was gay? If Jake said he wasn't gay, would you believe him?
5:24 PM - in 2007 Jake was asked if he's bisexual.
I challenged anyone on this blog to provide tangible proof.
We didn't have concrete proof about Ricky either, but we knew and were sure.
Ah, Jake is being rewarded by the industry for his bearding/closeted ways. A friend of mine indicated that he thought that's why Maggie was nominated this past year because "she helps her little brother in small and big ways."
You can't be serious, righ? So much bs in one post.
4:20 PM is not the only poster on WFT 2 who'll do a happy dance if Jake and LAOD receive bad reviews tonight. Those people are not fans. They are fans of a Jake they created in their head and everything else is not acceptable.
It's scary.
I for one hope that Jake and LAOD will do well tonight.
Man oh man, the JiS crowd must be really disappointed with Jake's latest beard to be so riled up, lol. All this bullshit about "proof" is hilarious. Ricky Martin had sex with women and made it clear that doesn't make him straight, and that it doesn't even make him bisexual. He's GAY.
So pathetic that the silly JiS fangirls have nothing better to do than hang around a blog that they think is b.s. They must love torturing themselves, lol.
Apparently, you believe everyone should start all their posts with the words 'IF HE'S GAY OR BI...' LOL.
No, with 'SINCE JAKE IS STRAIGHT ...', lol.
New Jake candids: IHJ
Is that iPad?
No, with 'SINCE JAKE IS STRAIGHT ...', lol.
LOL!!
Yes, it's an IPAd.
OT: Tom from OMG usese oil of olay??
What's wrong with oil of olay?
Anne and Jake on the red carpet tonight?
6:05PM, 4:20PM never said anything about wanting LAOD to fail, they said the movie was a B- and that Jake's acting was good. I guess anything less than all-out fawning is unacceptable. I don't know why you care what 4:20 thinks anyway or why you think they are obligated to be "a fan" under any definition, let alone yours.

I hate those kind of fans:-)
By the way I don't use Oil of olay. Don't need to.
Never fails Jake in LA. Jake goes the the Med Ctr.
I guess Ricky Martin who is or Was bigger than Jake is, had fans that questioned his sexuality relentlessly trying to pull him out of the closet when he was not ready and trying to come to terms with his life. I'm sure he had fan blogs, official and unofficial. There's alot behind his comments on this topic.
He also thinks it's a form of bullying? I think he has something there. Never thought of it like that.
Just Jared is trying to make the pink bracelet/string Jake has been wearing a more than freindship symbol from Taylor to Jake.
To people who have seen LAOD, Jake said in Esquire that he considers LAOD to be the child of Brokeback Mountain? What do you think?
LAOD review from imdb:
"I saw this movie last night at a preview. I am giving it 2 stars because the first 30 minutes brought me a few laughs and getting to look at hot Jake counts for something. But the story was SO predictable, I could have written the script with my eyes closed! I have seen this same story 1000 times before. It is a formula that tries to rise about the pack by tackling "big" issues like the pharmaceutical companies but it never does. The last 1/2 of the movie was so boring and predictable and uninteresting. I would not recommend anyone pay money to go see it in theaters and honestly, I can't even recommend it when it comes out on DVD."

Love & Other Drugs: AFI Fest 2010 Premiere
Jake Gyllenhaal Talks Getting 'Dirty' on Camera
"The Insider" was the only show to gain access inside the world premiere of 'Love and Other Drugs' and Jake Gyllenhaal dished to our Lara Spencer about his "dedication" to his character as a philandering Viagra salesman.
"Viagra… did you do research for the role?" Lara asked Jake on Thursday.
"Not so much Viagra, but the movie has a lot of sex in it and it was very important, always, to practice," Jake quipped.
The actor has been photographed out with Grammy winner Taylor Swift, but he turned shy when Lara quizzed him on his dating situation, joking that he brought his publicist as his date.
Jake was more open talking about his big screen romances: "I've always tried to be really respectful," Jake told Lara. "I know that if you're respectful off camera, then you can kind of get dirty on camera."
'Love and Other Drugs' hits theaters November 24.

'Love & Other Drugs' AFI Fest Premiere - After Party
I'm glad Jake had a good time with boys, but where was Anne?
Guard down moment?
To people who have seen LAOD, Jake said in Esquire that he considers LAOD to be the child of Brokeback Mountain? What do you think?
A bizarre statement. Because he and Anne are in both, it makes LAOD the "child" of BBM? I don't get that. The two movies could not be more different and aside from the two actors, I don't see any connection. BBM was a masterpiece, an artistic vision brought to life, a rare movie that stands above and apart. There was nothing typical or cliche about it.
Because he and Anne are in both, it makes LAOD the "child" of BBM? I don't get that.
I don't get it either, but I think that's what he meant.
Where are all the new reviews? There's a new one on imdb, but it's bad.
It's too early, movie critics are still in bed :)
"It's too early, movie critics are still in bed :)"
Oh right, I forgot. :D
:)
IF Jake thinks LaOD is the child of BBM because both he and Anne are in it (and they were in both movies), then...boy is he dumb.
The two films have NOTHING in common whatsoever.
They have me and Anne in common! Duh!
I wish there were better interviewers out there who have real discussions with actors, instead of asking stock questions. I would have asked him to expand on that "child of BBM" remark because it makes no sense.
Jake looked very handsome at the premiere. Anne's not a conventional beauty, but she's so tall with great body and hair. She's such a presence.
Re. child comment. I think Jake meant that w/o BBM he and Annie wouldn't be in this movie together. I think them being in BBM was sort of a screen chemistry test for Zwick. I always thought that next to Heath, he had best chemistry with Anne (even though they shared little time on screen) out of all co-stars. They are good friends, you can tell.
Did some American co-posters watch Anne on Leno? If so, what did she say?
Searching around for some AFI reviews and found this. It's Kristopher Tapley's post from 9/23 announcing LAOD opening the AFI. Some of the comments are interesting, especially in light of Jake saying LAOD is the child of BBM.

Jake Gyllenhaal is also getting some “Best Actor Hopeful” buzz too so you could have mentioned that.

Not in my circles. Hathaway has kind of charged to the front as the real possibility.

Kris, it will be very interesting if Hathaway gets incredible press reviews ( she is already getting good test screening reviews) bumping ( or equaling) Natalie Portman and Annette Bening, plus great box -office success for “Love And Other Drugs”. This would make a a very interesting Best Actress Oscar race- even more fascinating.
P.S. If this film becomes critically acclaimed with good box-office , 20th Century Fox was smart not to release this movie at Cannes, Venice, or TIFF- because of too much competition and a proper ” wait and see ” approach.

Chad Hartigan said...
I can’t see this doing that well at the box office. $50-$60 mil tops. Of course, everything is relative and that figure is probably slightly less than what the 5 films currently in Kris’s Best Actress slate will gross combined.

Xabi said...
I actually think that anne has less chances to get a nomination than jake because she belongs to a tough category in this years race. It seems both of them are really good but the actor category is not locked at all. If the movie had been released last year Im sure both actors and the movie itself would´ve been strong candidates ( it reminds me of Up in the air ).

Guys, Gyllenhaal might be charming as all get-out in the film, but one look at the trailer can tell you who’s got more to work with.

Suzanne said...
Just saw Love and Other Drugs at an advanced screening—not good. It had way too much going on, just like the trailer. Hathaway might have been good, but I was too blinded by how tasteless and scattered the rest of the film was to really notice her performance.
9 9-23-2010 at 8:43 pm
Lena said...
Suzanne, what about Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance?
The way some people who have seen the film describe it–it sounds like “Porky’s Meets the Pharmaceutical Industry Meets an Afterschool Special on Parkinson’s.”
10 9-24-2010 at 3:30 am
Suzanne said...
Not much to say about Gyllenhaal’s performance. His character makes some far-fetched emotional leaps within the narrative. While that’s mostly a writing issue, he doesn’t really do anything to help. Hathaway is much better, but again, the movie’s so bad it’s hard to really appreciate her performance.
That description sounds about right. It’s just too comedic in some areas, too heavy in others. It comes off as almost disrespectful…
Jake's Source Code co-star Michelle Monaghan attended the premiere. She seems so nice.
Jake's godmother was there too.
Not many can pull off a tight white dress, but Anne looks GREAT.
premiere coverage
This Suzanne Day lady really hates the film. So, so curious what other critics will say later today.
To people who have seen LAOD, Jake said in Esquire that he considers LAOD to be the child of Brokeback Mountain? What do you think?
It has nothing to do with BBM.
I think the IMDB review up above is pretty accurate, I really enjoyed Jake, Anne and the first half hour or so, then it goes down-hill.
I think Jake meant that w/o BBM he and Annie wouldn't be in this movie together.
Okay. But that's casting. It doesn't make the movie a child of BBM. Even if two other actors had the leads, or if just one of them were in it, the movie would still have been made. It's based on a book, not spawned from BBM, lol.
So what if he said it? To him it's a child of BBM so what? Jeez.
The film with Michelle will be the grandchild of BBM. ;)
11:15PM asked a question and people are responding. It's called a discussion, 10:05.
The film with Michelle will be the grandchild of BBM. ;)
LMAO!
Franco refuses to skip class for movie premiere
OK
Now that's more like it. ;)
Anne is too lovely. See how the fans hold her hand? I think she's really approachable.
Just Jared
Re. Franco - I think James should be happy to work in Hollywood. He's so rich now and can afford to buy himself into good schools. Maybe his career will always be as great and he can be "whatever" about it and skip premiers etc. Other actors are very appreciative for their opportunities. It's just a little lucky percentage who breaks through in Hollywood and there are many, many talented, charismatic actors who want to make it big in Hollywood. It's more or less easy work and you get shitload of cash. I'd be grateful, I really would.
He was a little late. He obviously doesn't want to take the phoney way to a degree.
Most of these rich people buy themselves a place in good schools, I think Franco is no exception. That alone is phoney.
I bet doing all the movies he did lately, he missed lots of classes.
OK had a little something on JGL too - his face is gorgeous. Poor bb.
Poor bb.
:( I feel for him and his family.
I have no problem with people keeping their life private and not coming out; I do have a problem with serial liars who use phony relationships to sell and market themselves and/or to get attention.
But as someone said some post ago, it's very clear Destiny, YOU don't have to look. You don't have to follow that actor/celeb. who you think is lying to you and the public. I agree with another post that showmances are not just about sexuality or hiding ones, but more about publicity for the stars. Straight or Gay. It's mostly about PR / Publicity for the stars. All of the stars do this at some points in their careers, or most do. Not just Jake.
:( I feel for him and his family.
Yes, something like this is devastating. :(
^^ Especially the one's who are not married and with children.
Things change drasticly.
