LOS ANGELES (AP) — Tom Hanks, Martin Scorsese, Cate Blanchett, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Aaron Paul celebrated their Golden Globe Award nominations over cucumber sandwiches and scones with cream.

The nominees were among the guests of honor at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts' annual awards-season tea party, held Saturday at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles. With no agenda other than to eat, drink and socialize, the stars enjoyed a relaxing respite amid a whirlwind weekend leading into Sunday's Golden Globes.

Benedict Cumberbatch, Christoph Waltz, Shohreh Aghdashloo and "Captain Phillips" supporting actor Barkhad Abdi were also among the celebrants.

Some tea-party guests, including TV mogul Nigel Lythgoe, also popped by the HBO Luxury Lounge held at the hotel, where brands such as Pandora and Sophia Fiori Diamonds were hoping for last-minute placement on the Globes red carpet.

2014 Foreign Language Film Symposium Honors International Filmmakers

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Golden Globe Awards are put on by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association — a group of journalists who cover movies for international publications — so it's fitting to pay special tribute to international filmmakers.

The HFPA did that Saturday at its 11th annual Foreign Language Film Symposium, which drew the directors of four of the five foreign-language films nominated at Sunday's Golden Globes. Abdellatif Kechiche of France ("Blue is the Warmest Color"), Thomas Vinterberg of Denmark ("The Hunt"), Paolo Sorrentino of Italy ("The Great Beauty") and Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi of Iran ("The Past") discussed their work with each other and an audience of fans at Hollywood's Egyptian Theatre.

Japanese director Hayao Miyazaki, whose film "The Wind Rises" is also up for a Globe, wasn't able to attend.

Apart from Vinterberg, who also works in English, each director was accompanied by an interpreter. All said that despite working in disparate languages, film transcends any such obstacles.

"Film is beyond all spoken language," Vinterberg said. "The more local I get in my writing, the farther my film reaches."

His nominated film, "The Hunt," stars Mads Mikkelsen as a lonely teacher whose life is upended by an innocent lie.

"Blue is the Warmest Color" is a coming-of-age love story. "The Great Beauty" explores the indulgence of lavish nightlife. "The Past" deals with family relationships. "The Wind Rises" is about a dreamer who designed fighter planes in World War II.

Trailers for all five films up for the Golden Globe for best foreign-language film were shown at the symposium, where filmmakers also took questions from fans. The winner will be announced Sunday at the 71st annual Golden Globe Awards.

'Girls' Star Adam Driver Gets His Own 'Star Wars' Rumor

Back in November of last year, it was rumored that "Girls" star Adam Driver was in contention to play Nightwing in the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel. (Nightwing is better known as Dick Grayson, Batman's estranged former sidekick.)

"No, there's no truth to it," Driver told HuffPost Entertainment a week after the initial story broke. "I don't know whoever put it on there. I don't know how these things get [started] -- I don't know how it first came about."

Now, Driver has another rumor to deal with. According to The Hollywood Reporter's Borys Kit, Driver "is being eyed for a role" in "Star Wars: Episode VII." That tidbit, however, was denied by Latino Review via Twitter:




Despite that claim, TheWrap's Jeff Sneider, who first broke the news of Driver's possible involvement in the Batman vs. Superman film, acknowledged that "Star Wars" producers did have some interest in the 30-year-old star.










“I'm definitely trying to figure this all out as I go along, how to craft a career," Driver told The New York Times in an interview last November. "As things get bigger, I have days of depression, sitting in the house and wondering 'What are you doing? Is it even relevant?' [...] I'm not against Hollywood at all. I just want to be involved with good writing and work that has some kind of meaning."

About that writing, at least with regard to "Star Wars: Episode VII": According to THR, director J.J. Abrams and co-writer Lawrence Kasdan have "significantly" changed the initial "Star Wars" script that Michael Arndt wrote in an effort to put more focus on the franchise's original characters, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. (It's expected that Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher will all reprise their respective roles from the initial trilogy for "Episode VII," but nothing has been confirmed just yet.)

HuffPost Entertainment contacted representatives for Driver via email. This post will be updated if and when they respond.

Watch All 156 Episodes Of "The Twilight Zone," Right Here, Right Now, At The Same Time

As you may have suspected, watching all 156 episodes of "The Twilight Zone" is a supremely trippy experience. See for yourself in the video above, a dizzying tribute to the iconic Sci-Fi series by Omni Verse.

At first the black-and-white visual overload resembles a science lecture from hell, before transforming into a cacophony of suave suits, serious mustaches and unnatural phenomena. We agree with The Creators Project's Brian Anderson when he says pressing play "stirs up a din that variously crawls like a very relevant noise band, the inside of a jet engine, and swarms of locusts sent to destroy all humanity." Watch above and see for yourself, if you dare. (Cue "The Twilight Zone" theme song.)

Artist Transforms The City Of Chicago Into A Giant Typography Playground

It's strange to think that although we encounter letters and numbers all the time, the little guys are normally confined to a page or a screen. That is, until one bold MFA student dared to take her ABCs out of the two-dimensional world and into her environment -- the urban playground of Chicago.


type


Audra Hubbell embarked upon this artistic endeavor for her MFA thesis, in which she explored the power of large-scale typography. By projecting gigantic, single letters onto Chicago's buildings, streets and art installations, Hubbell illuminates how surrounding space shapes her letterforms, and how they in return shape space. It turns out, the relationship was quite amicable.

"The three-dimensional space transformed the letterforms into completely unexpected shapes," Hubbell explained in an email to the Huffington Post. "The project became about finding the perfect harmonies in the formal qualities of the letter and the visual themes of the space itself."


dd


Cast in noir-style darkness, the minimalist letters radiate an ominous and powerful air, showcasing their power to stand alone -- outside language -- as pure shapes. Projected alongside everything from rural train tracks to Anish Kapoor's "Cloud Gate," the letters turn Chicago's landscape into a stunning and cryptic message.

"I also feel as though it is important to mention that I was certainly not the first artist to project letters onto architecture," Hubbell wrote. "These artists include Imi Knoebel, Jenny Holzer, and Tobias Battenberg to name a few." What are your favorite examples of typography and art crossing paths? Let us know in the comments.

'Lone Survivor' Box Office Impresses, Debuting At No. 1

By Ronald Grover and Chris Michaud
LOS ANGELES/NEW YORK, Jan 12 (Reuters) - "Lone Survivor," the true story of a failed U.S. Navy SEALS mission to capture or kill a Taliban leader in Afghanistan, collected $38.5 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales, topping movie "Frozen" to win the weekend box office race.
The film stars Mark Wahlberg as Marcus Luttrell, the only one of four SEALS to return from the mission and who wrote the 2007 book on which the movie is based.
"Frozen," a Walt Disney Co animated film and last week's box office winner, was second with ticket sales of $15.1 million from Friday through Sunday, according to estimates from Rentrak.
"The Wolf of Wall Street," a tale of greed starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was third with $9 million, while this week's other new major release, "The Legend of Hercules," starring fashion model and actor Kellan Lutz, was just behind, selling $8.6 million in tickets.
"Hercules" was tied for fourth place with "American Hustle," an awards-season favorite directed by David O. Russell and starring Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper.
"Lone Survivor," directed and written by "Friday Nights Lights" director Peter Berg, was the subject of a Hollywood bidding war in 2007 won by Comcast Corp's Universal Pictures. The movie cost $40 million to make, Universal said.
The heavily marketed film far exceeded industry projections of about $23 million in domestic sales, including theaters in the United States and Canada. It was the second biggest January opening weekend ever, behind only "Cloverfield," which made $40 million, according to Rentrak.
"You can't make predictions on films like this," said Nikki Rocco, Universal's president for domestic distribution, adding "You just don't know how the public is going to embrace it."
But decent reviews along with what Rocco called "a grassroots campaign to tell Americans that this is a story of patriotism and heroism, and you're going to want to be a part of the water cooler conversation about it on Monday," sent its box office sales soaring.
The film received a 73 rating from aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences gave the film an A+ grade, according to CinemaScore, which measures ticket buyer reactions.
"The Legend of Hercules," which was forecast to have ticket sales of $8 million, is the first of two films based on the son of the Greek god Zeus. The second "Hercules" stars professional wrestler Dwayne Johnson, also known as "The Rock," and is scheduled for release on July 25.
"The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" was sixth with $8 million in ticket sales. After leading the domestic box office during the last three weeks of 2013, the movie, the second of a three-part adaption of J.R.R. Tolkien's 1937 novel, has hauled in $242 million domestically and $809 million globally.
Viacom Inc's Paramount Pictures released "Wolf of Wall Street." Warner Bros, a unit of Time Warner Inc, released "The Hobbit." Sony Corp's movie studio distributed "American Hustle."

Pharrell's 'Happy' Bumps Pitbull and Ke$ha From UK Charts Top Spot

LONDON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Pharrell Williams and his song "Happy" reclaimed the number one spot in the British music singles chart on Sunday, knocking "Timber" by fellow Americans Pitbull and Ke$ha into second place, the Official Charts Company said.
Happy sold over 107,000 copies to occupy the top spot for a second non-consecutive week, having been dethroned by Timber the previous week. Pharrell Williams had scored the two biggest-selling singles of 2013.
Among the fastest climbers in the singles chart was Beyonce, whose "Drunk In Love", a collaboration with her husband Jay Z, jumped 17 places to take the number 10 spot. It was Beyonce's 16th top 10 hit in Britain.
British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding held onto the number one spot in the official albums chart for a second week with "Halcyon", keeping Beyonce's self-titled album at bay in second place.
Goulding, who performed at the wedding reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton in 2011, was enjoying a good week after she was nominated on Thursday for three BRITs, the top music awards in Britain. (Reporting by Estelle Shirbon; editing by Andrew Roche)

Bad news for Hollywood's brightest stars: hours before Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony, a pipe burst outside the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., flooding a portion of the red carpet.

"A pipe has appeared to totally bust and there is water gushing, literally everywhere in the position of where all of the international press -– everyone has moved out of the way," Catt Sadler on the E! network during the red carpet pre-show (via THR).

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association released a statement about the incident, noting a faulty sprinkler caused the issue (via Marlow Stern):

"We can confirm that there was a malfunction with a sprinkler near the red carpet. The situation was quickly resolved. Despite the incident the red carpet will open at its regularly scheduled time. As some of the biggest names in entertainment are scheduled to attend the Golden Globe Awards tonight, we wanted to give the carpet one last wash before it opened."

NightBus Introduces 'Three-Way Stereo' Listening Experience

Splitting instruments and sounds between the left and right channels on a stereo makes for a much more pleasant listening experience -- except when you are sharing headphones with a friend. (Hearing only half of a song is less than satisfying.) But what if stereo sound could be used to provide a whole unique experience within each earbud? This was the question posed by Steve Greenberg, best known as the man behind hits by Hanson and Baha Men, and answered by Jack Kennedy of the Los Angeles/London-based, dance-pop collective NightBus.

Kennedy, in-house producer and one of the vocalists for NightBus, and his three bandmates crafted their song "When The Night Time Comes" by plugging separate but complementary versions of the track into each audio channel. On the right side, listeners hear a Kennedy-fronted pop-rock tune. On the left side, an electronic dance number fronted by co-vocalist Hannah Melbourn. When the two tracks come together, listeners get an entirely different third single. The band is calling this new production technique "three-way stereo."

“The idea was to make it sound like two totally separate recordings of the song,” Kennedy told The New York Times, “so that when you listen to them individually they have different vibes, but when they combine they still work, and they don’t clash.”

You can listen to the band's three-way stereo single below, and pick up their new EP, which features all three versions of "When The Night Time Comes" and two other songs, on iTunes on Jan. 14.

The Book We're Talking About: 'Perfect' By Rachel Joyce

Perfect: A Novel by Rachel Joyce
Random House, $25.00
Published January 14, 2014

What is it about?

11-year-old Byron becomes anxious when he learns from a friend that the British government will add two seconds to its clocks. He pesters his mother for details of the event, thinking it will have cataclysmic repercussions. As it turns out, his concerns become legitimized -- on the day that time is altered, his mother crashes into a young girl on her bike. Byron attempts to protect his family from the accident, which only he witnesses. Eventually his path crosses with that of another anxious, isolated man, who serves as the novel's second narrator.

Why are we talking about it?

Rachel Joyce's debut novel, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, was longlisted for the Booker Prize in 2012. The tidiness with which she converges disparate plot points in her first book is seen once again in her second novel.

Who wrote it?

In addition to the two novels she has written, Rachel Joyce has also written a number of plays for BBC Radio. Her first book, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, began as a play she wrote while her father was sick with cancer. Of the book adaptation, Joyce says, "the book isn't about my dad. But it maybe (somehow) is about me wanting him not to die." Her latest novel is equally moving and heartbreaking.

Who will read it?

Fans of Joyce's first novel and those interested in stories told from the vantage point of an adolescent protagonist.

What do the reviewers say?

The Boston Globe: "While there is redemption, of a small sort, there is no catharsis... Byron, the heart of this novel, is not a tragic hero, brought low. He’s a small boy. While Joyce’s prose is seductive, reading about what happens to this vulnerable child feels like voyeurism of the worst sort, the kind of schadenfreude that not even the most careful of rituals can protect against."

Publishers Weekly: "Joyce, showing the same talent for adroit plot development seen in the bestselling The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, brings both narrative strands together in a shocking, redemptive (albeit weepily sentimental) denouement."

Opening lines:

"In 1972, two seconds were added to time. Britain agreed to join the Common Market, and "Beg, Steal or Borrow" by the New Seekers was the entry for Eurovision. The seconds were added because it was a leap year and time was out of joint with the movement of the Earth. The New Seekers did not win the Eurovision song contest but that had nothing to do with the Earth's movement and nothing to do with the two seconds either."

Notable passage:

"When the secret came out it was by mistake. It spoke itself. It was like having a dog that ran into other people's gardens before you could do anything about it, except that they had no dog, of course, because pet hair made his father sneeze."

Armond White's New York Film Critics Circle Membership Pulled

NEW YORK (AP) — Film critic Armond White has been expelled from the New York Film Critics Circle after allegedly heckling "12 Years a Slave" director Steve McQueen at the group's annual awards banquet.

The critics convened Monday and voted the CityArts critic out of the group. Entertainment Weekly's Owen Gleiberman, a member of the group, confirmed in an online post White's expelling. White reportedly yelled expletives at McQueen when he accepted the award for best director at last week's New York Film Critics Awards. He was quoted as loudly calling McQueen an "embarrassing doorman and garbage man."

White disputed that account and in an email to the Associated Press last week, calling the charges a "barrage of lies." Known for his contrarian reviews, White lambasted "12 Years a Slave" as "torture porn."

Michael Douglas Cast In 'Ant-Man' As Hank Pym

Fresh off his controversial Golden Globes speech on Sunday night, Michael Douglas has been cast in Marvel's "Ant-Man." According to a press release from the studio, Douglas will play the role of Hank Pym in the film, opposite Paul Rudd's Scott Lang. (Both Pym and Lang have portrayed Ant-Man in the Marvel comics.)

"With Hank Pym's rich history in the Marvel Universe, we knew we needed an actor capable of bringing the weight and stature to the role that the character deserves," Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said in a statement announcing the casting. "We felt incredibly relieved when Michael Douglas agreed to step into the part with the charm and fortitude he brings to every character he inhabits, and couldn't be more excited to see what he will do to bring Hank Pym to life."

That Pym would be involved in "Ant-Man" dates back to 2006, when director Edgar Wright spoke to SuperHero Hype about his plans for both Pym and Lang:

Well, the thing is that what we want to do, the idea that we have for the adaptation is to actually involve both. Is to have a film that basically is about Henry Pym and Scott Lang, so you actually do a prologue where you see Pym as Ant-Man in action in the 60's, in sort of "Tales to Astonish" mode basically, and then the contemporary, sort of flash-forward, is Scott Lang's story, and how he comes to acquire the suit, how he crosses paths with Henry Pym, and then, in an interesting sort of Machiavellian way, teams up with him. So it's like an interesting thing, like the "Marvel Premiere" one that I read which is Scott Lang's origin, it's very brief like a lot of those origin comics are, and in a way, the details that are skipped through in the panels and the kind of thing we'd spend half an hour on.


Whether that blueprint is still in place is unclear, but Wright did tweet that article after the Douglas news was revealed on Monday.




"Ant-Man" is set for release on July 31, 2015.

So Many Stars Won Their First Golden Globe At The 2014 Show

This year, a number of stars were honored with their first-ever Golden Globe award. Some took home a win after years of nominations, while others won on their very first nod, ensuring an emotional and exciting night for nominees and fans alike.

From old favorites to newcomers, check out who won for the very first time this year.

Amy Poehler



Finally! Poehler won the award for Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical, for her work on "Parks and Recreation." The 2014 show marked the third year she was nominated for the award, and it looks like third time's the charm. Elated, Poehler quickly stole some kisses from U2 frontman Bono before dashing onstage to collect her award.

Matthew McConaughey

Matthew McConaughey won a Golden Globe with his first nomination, snagging the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama for his work in "Dallas Buyers Club." Dressed in an eye-catching green velvet suit, he thanked his fans (and his mother) with a characteristic, "All right, all right, all right!"

Bryan Cranston

It seems unbelievable, but 2014 marked Bryan Cranston's very first Golden Globe win. He was named the Best Actor in a Television Series Drama for his role on "Breaking Bad." This was his fifth nomination for the award. He has also been nominated once for his work on "Malcolm in the Middle."

Jared Leto

Leto brought home an award for Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for his work in "Dallas Buyers Club." Accepting the award, Leto took the opportunity to tell fans that his "tiny little Brazilian bubble butt" featured in the film was prosthetic-free, and that he had waxed his entire body for his role as Rayon. (His speech was later deemed "homophobic" by Salon.)

Andy Samberg

The "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" actor nabbed the award for Best Actor in a TV Series, Musical or Comedy, beating out the favored Jim Parsons and Jason Bateman with his very first nomination. After admitting that he hadn't prepared any talking points, not thinking he would win, Samberg put together a hilariously improvised (yet thorough) acceptance speech.

Amy Adams

Adams has been nominated five times at the Golden Globes, but she received her first win in 2014, being named Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her role in "American Hustle." She gave a tearful acceptance speech and declared to the encroaching music, "You cannot play me out of talking about my daughter" before thanking her little girl for teaching her to "accept joy and to let go of fear."

Robin Wright

Robin Wright didn't win a Golden Globe so many years ago when she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture for her work in "Forrest Gump," but she did take the prize on Sunday for Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama for her role in "House of Cards." Like many other winners, she hadn't prepared a speech for the occasion.

Elisabeth Moss

Another unlikely first-timer, Elisabeth Moss took home a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Mini-Series or TV Movie for her work in "Top of the Lake." Shaking and giggling, she gave a heartfelt speech, in which she dedicated the award to her mother.

Jacqueline Bisset

At age 69, Jacqueline Bisset won her first Golden Globe in 2014, named Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series, or TV Movie for her role in "Dancing on the Edge." She may, however, be better remembered for her unusual acceptance speech in which she told the people who have "given her s--t" to "go to hell and don't come back."
