By Robert Goldrich |Road To Oscar Series, Part 5
LOS ANGELES -- Shortly after shooting Wild , which earned him a Golden Frog nomination last year from Camerimage, cinematographer Yves Bélanger, CSC, said he got a phone call for a feature also chronicling a woman’s journey of self-discovery, but far different from Wild in other respects. Bélanger became enamored with the script which was for Brooklyn (Fox Searchlight Pictures), director John Crowley’s feature introducing us to Eilis Lacey (portrayed by Saoirse Ronan) who leaves her small Irish town--and her... more...Spotmaking Vet Jonathan Weinstein Grooms Next Generation Of Talent At NYU Former EP transitions into teaching; his job placement efforts connect students with production, post community

By Frazier Moore, Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The folks at TV's Big Four networks might as well have slept in Thursday morning and skipped the announcement of the Golden Globes nominations. In the latest sign of their lack of critical love and viewer sizzle, commercial broadcasters ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC together scored a paltry nine nods (though three more than last year), while streaming service Netflix boosted its total from last year's seven to singlehandedly claim the lead with nine nominations distributed across six series ("Narcos... more..."Trumbo," "House of Cards" Top SAG Nominations in Film and TV, Respectively, With 3 Apiece By Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Ensemble nominations for the Screen Actors Guild Awards highlight diversity in both film and television, including nods for "Beasts of No Nation," ''Straight Outta Compton" and "Orange is the New Black." Yet, individual nominations, especially for movies, remained largely white - only adding to concerns this will be yet another monochromatic awards season. Idris Elba was nominated for best supporting actor in the child soldier drama "Beasts of No Nation." He is the sole individual minority... more...Directors Guild Study Finds Diversity Lacking In Feature Filmmaking Women represent 3% of directors behind major box-office titles
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A new study shows that of the 376 feature filmmakers who released movies in the last two years, less than seven percent were women.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- J.J. Abrams can't really settle on a favorite moment from his saga of directing, co-writing and co-producing "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," but this one isn't bad. "Being here now means we're actually finished with the movie, which is a relief," Abrams said with Jedi calm.

Review: Director Adam McKay's "The Big Short" By Jake Coyle, Film Writer
In Adam McKay's comic and clear-eyed adaption of Michael Lewis' "The Big Short," a handful of finance speculators __ outsiders and oddballs __ predict a downturn in the housing market only to realize, to their horror and immense profit, that they've effectively bet against America, and won. It's a rollicking, outrage-fueled odyssey through the financial collapse of 2008, from the carefree offices on Wall Street to the vacant subdivisions in Florida, that gradually reveals not just a market... more..."Walking Dead" EP Tests VR Waters With "Gone" New episodic series is being produced for Samsung's Milk VR service
By Derrik J. Lang, Entertainment Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- While experimenting with virtual reality for his latest project, "The Walking Dead" executive producer David Alpert and his crew relied on a very old-school form of technology when filming in 360 degrees: the hidey-hole.

Everyone, get in your hidey-hole!'" said David Alpert, president of Skybound Entertainment and an executive producer on "The Walking Dead" franchise. "Everyone in the camera department would look around and check if you... more...FCC's Net Neutrality Rules Undergo Appeals Court Scrutiny By Sam Hananel
