Do not adjust your screens. That's the food plate from last night's
New York premiere of "No Country For Old Men." This blog is becoming so
schizophrenic (sorry), I thought I'd try to become the Zagat (eew) of
the awards-going crowd, too. But that was until I had to photograph my
dish in a crowded room of Hollywood's best, and it took nine flashes
from my blackberry to produce the Ansel Adams before you. Hmm. Maybe
this will be a one-time shtick. The food is (from top right corner,
counterclockwise): salty red meat, yellow vegetable, one shrimp, more
yellow food, chicken and a bread roll. It gets a C+.
What about the movie? Didn't you hear? It's terrific. Javier Bardem
steals the picture. I can't help but wonder, though, why he's not being
campaigned in the lead acting category. "He's going to win best
supporting actor," a movie insider explained. Right. But he'd probably
win best actor, too. Javier was there at the screening, with a bit of
scruff that made him look more like Clive Owen than a sociopathic
killer. Stars who go ugly always look extra primped on the red
carpet--and why shouldn't they? It's a lesson from the America Ferrera
School of Dude, I'm Not Really Ugly Like Ugly Betty! I also saw Josh
Brolin and Frances McDormand in front of the popcorn stand. No, she's
not in the movie. She's just a Coen groupie, like the rest of us.
