  • 12 years ago
The Writers Guild of America has announced their nominations for outstanding achievement in feature film writing. For original screenplay, "Bridesmaids" earned a nod, as did Woody Allen's "Midnight in Paris." Those films will compete against "50/50," "Young Adult," and "Win Win."
On the adapted screenplay side, "The Help" was nominated, as was baseball movie "Moneyball." They will go head to head with "Hugo," "The Descendants," and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."
Jon Heder is bringing back "Napoleon Dynamite," but this time in animated form. Heder will be the voice behind the geeky teenager in the cartoon series, which will air on U.S. network Fox starting January 15.
Mila Kunis is the latest celebrity to lend her face to Christian Dior. The actress stars in an international ad campaign for the fashion house's handbag line. The ads will be featured in various magazines' February issues.
Finally, two and a half years after his death, Michael Jackson's hand and footprints will be immortalized in cement at Hollywood's historic Grauman's Chinese Theatre. Jackson's three children will use their father's sequined glove and shoes to make the impressions. The ceremony will take place January 26.
