December Cornucopia! Bond, Buzz and lots of Big Doings!

Mark your calendars - by the time we wake up here in the states Thursday morning, we'll all know the title of Bond 24! 

At 11:00 AM GMT (3:00 AM Pacific) the Bond team will host a live web stream and satellite feed from the 007 stage at Pinewood Studios, revealing the full cast and film title. Exciting times!







Awards season is right around the corner and the critics are weighing-in. Yesterday the New York Film Critics awards gave top honors to Richard Linklater's Boyhood,  a film shot over a decade to show the passage of time in a boy's life from 5 to 18. Linklater also won best director and best supporting actress went to Patricia Arquette. Timothy Spall won best actor for Mr. Turner, with Marion Cotillard for her roles in The Immigrant and Two Days, One Night. Actor J.K. Simmons took home the best supporting actor prize for his work in Whiplash. 

Today the National Board of Review selected J.C. Chandor's A Most Violent Year as best film of the year, starring Oscar Isaac, who tied for best actor along with Michael Keaton for Birdman. Jessica Chastain won also won best supporting for A Most Violent Year, which chronicles an immigrant's struggle to protect his business and family in 1981 New York. Julianne Moore won best actress for Still Alice, Edward Norton picked up best supporting for Birdman and best director went to Clint Eastwood for American Sniper. 

At the Gotham Independent Film Awards, Birdman snagged best picture, as well as best actor for Michael Keaton.


Also, you'll want to set your DVR tonight for 8:00 Pacific as ABC premieres their latest Pixar follow-up, Toy Story That Time Forgot, which sees Buzz, Woody and the gang tussling with a group of battling dinosaur action figures. Last year's Toy Story of Terror was terrific, so if this new one's half as good, it should be sure to please.
