2018 Golden Globes: With Riz Ahmed out, Benedict Cumberbatch or Ewan McGregor may get revenge after Emmy loss

At last year’s Golden Globe Awards “The Night Of” earned three nominations: Best Movie/Miniseries as well as Best Movie/Mini Actor for its two stars, Riz Ahmed and John Turturro. Though it went home empty handed at that event, Ahmed was recently able to win a Primetime Emmy for his leading role, which was among the five total prizes the crime drama took home from the television academy.

Since “The Night Of” already competed at the Golden Globes last year, it won’t be in contention this year. Therefore Ahmed won’t be able to repeat his victory from the Emmys, opening the door for a whole new winner in the Best Movie/Mini Actor race, including several he defeated at the Emmys in September. In the past 16 years the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has chosen a wide variety of winners in this category, ranging from movie stars to veterans to popular Brits to actors in biographical roles. Here are six strong contenders who fit at least one of those molds.

Benedict Cumberbatch, “Sherlock: The Lying Detective”

He has contended at the Globes twice before. The first time was in this category for the second season of “Sherlock” in 2013, where he lost to Kevin Costner for “Hatfields & McCoys.” The second time was on the film side for his performance as Alan Turing in “The Imitation Game,” where he lost Best Film Drama Actor to Eddie Redmayne for “The Theory of Everything.” If Cumberbatch is nominated again this year, would a third time be the charm? HFPA members have shown love to Brits in this category six times in the past 16 years, including last year’s champ Tom Hiddleston (“The Night Manager”).

Jude Law, “The Young Pope”

After having been nominated three times before on the film side for his performances in “The Talented Mr. Ripley” (Best Film Supporting Actor, 2000), “A.I. Artificial Intelligence” (Best Film Supporting Actor, 2002), and “Cold Mountain” (Best Film Drama Actor, 2004), Law’s performance as Pope Pius XIII could make him a first-time nominee on the TV side. Like Cumberbatch, he is a Brit, and HFPA members love to award them in this category every once in a while.

Nicole Kidman Goes Head-to-Head with Colin Firth in Exclusive Clip from Genius

PEOPLE
BY ANDREA PARK @scandreapark 06/09/2016 AT 02:00 PM EDT

In this exclusive clip from upcoming biographical drama Genius, you can cut the tension with a butter knife.

The dinnertime scene begins with Look Homeward, Angel author Thomas Wolfe, played by Jude Law, describing the major role costume designer Aline Bernstein (Nicole Kidman) has played in the production of his latest novel.

Bernstein shakes off the praise, turning instead to Maxwell Perkins (Colin Firth), the famous editor of authors like Wolfe, Ernest Hemingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald.

"Tom speaks of your contribution with such passion," Bernstein tells Perkins, reminding Wolfe that Perkins "is the genius who made all of your dreams come true."

Colin Firth and Livia Giuggioli make a seriously stylish arrival in Cannes on their elegant yacht

The Cannes Film Festival tends to bring out the best in red carpet stars.

But straight from disembarking their docked yacht on the Riviera, Colin Firth and Livia Giuggioli put on an exquisite display.

Handsome gentleman Colin, 54, and his beautiful counterpart Livia, 45, looked stylish as they stepped off the luxury sunliner in sunglasses on Friday morning in the sunshine.

Colin may be the moviestar but this was the time for Livia to shine in the movie world.

On the red carpet and on the big screen in Cannes, she will have a big role to play because she is a keen purveyor of ethical fashion.

Livia is the executive producer on The True Cost, a new documentary film exploring the impact of fashion on people and the planet.

Inside the yacht, the couple posed for pictures with the film's director Andrew Morgan and producer Michael Ross as well as fellow female producer Laura Piety.



Colin has already received some good Cannes news, since his new film Genius - starring Jude Law, Nicole Kidman and Laura Linney - has been acquired Lionsgate.

The Michael Grandage-directed film will chronicle the work of scribe Max Perkins when he was book editor at Scribner, overseeing works such authors as Thomas Wolfe.

The film explores the complex relationship between Max and Thomas Wolfe, played by Jude Law, and Ernest Hemingway, portrayed by Dominic West, who are both authors whose work Perkins oversaw.

Colin Firth, Jude Law and Nicole Kidman steam in to film latest blockbuster

THE HERALD
by Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431



Didcot may have lost three of its iconic cooling towers but it has kept its appeal for A-List celebrities.

Hollywood stars Jude Law and Nicole Kidman have been spotted filming their latest movie at the town’s heritage railway centre.

Along with Colin Firth and Dominic West, they are shooting new biopic Genius, about the man who published Ernest Hemingway and F Scott Fitzgerald.

Mr Law, who plays American novelist Thomas Clayton Wolfe, and Ms Kidman, who plays his mistress Aline Bernstein, were seen shooting scenes at the railway centre in the rain on Friday afternoon.

A member of staff at the centre said: “Colin Firth, Jude Law and Nicole Kidman were all here to film scenes for Genius but we have been told not to talk about it.

“We think the film will come out some time next year.”

Centre manager Roger Orchard was unavailable for comment.

It is not the first time Jude Law has filmed scenes at the centre.

He and Robert Downey Jnr spent three days there in 2010 to film scenes for Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, the sequel to 2009’s box office hit, Sherlock Holmes.

Residents were warned then not to be alarmed by explosions coming from the site as they recreated a munitions factory in the main engine shed.

Pictured: Colin Firth got quite the drenching as he filmed in Manchester city centre

MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS
Oct 20, 2014 12:23 By Emma Flanagan



Oscar winner Colin Firth has been spotted in Manchester city centre this morning, as the Northern Quarter was transformed into 1920s New York for his new film Genius.

The King’s Speech star was getting quite a soaking in his grey three-piece suit and matching overcoat.

The rain was likely to be a blessing for the film makers who were let down by Manchester’s reputation as a rainy city yesterday. They were forced to fake the rain while filming with Firth’s co-star Jude Law.

In between takes the 54-year-old actor was seen sheltering underneath a blue and black golf umbrella.

While Firth, who is playing legendary publisher Max Perkins, looked extremely dapper his co-star Jude Law, looked a little more bedraggled as they climbed down a fire escape.

The 41-year-old actor, who starred in the 2009 Sherlock Holmes film, is playing Thomas Clayton Wolfe who is considered to be one of the most difficult writers Max Perkins had to work with.

The Northern Quarter back street has doubled for early 20th century New York before in the blockbuster Captain America, and this time the dingy alley was bedecked with old fashioned washing lines and a laundry sign.

As yet there have been no signs of the two lead actors' co-stars Nicole Kidman, who plays Wolfe's love interest Aline Bernstein or Dominic West who is playing Ernest Hemingway.

Filming is set to continue in Manchester until the end of the week.

Colin Firth will edit your manuscript now

MELVILLE HOUSE
by Sal Robinson
October 13, 2014

Though Hollywood regularly makes movies about writers, with regularly dicey results, it rarely turns its gaze to editors. Which is fair enough: since most movies about writers could safely be retitled “Frowning & Scribbling,” I understand why producers would be loath to back a movie that lacks even the scribbling part.

A newspaper or magazine editor will turn up from time to time, made momentarily dramatic by a deadline or a controversy: William Shawn (played by Nicholas Woodeson) cautiously trying to suggest edits to Arendt (Barbara Sukowa)’s articles on the Eichmann trial for the New Yorker in last year’s “Hannah Arendt” was a recent instance.

But book editors don’t get much screen time. With one notable upcoming exception: filming is underway on “Genius,” a movie based on A. Scott Berg’s biography of the legendary Scribner’s editor Maxwell Perkins, Editor of Genius. 

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the movie, directed by British theater director Michael Grandage, “will chart the real-life relationship between literary giant Thomas Wolfe and renowned editor Max Perkins, who developed a tender, complex friendship that changed the lives of both men forever.” Wolfe will be played by Jude Law (after Michael Fassbender dropped out) and the role of Perkins has been taken by Colin Firth.

Perkins, who had discovered and published F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, received a draft of Wolfe’s Look Homeward, Angel (then called “O, Lost”) in 1928 and immediately recognized Wolfe’s talent, writing in his first letter to Wolfe that “it is a very remarkable thing, and no editor could read it without being excited by it and filled with admiration by many passages in it and sections of it” (quote from Editor to Author: The Letters of Maxwell Perkins). This was just the start of one of the most famous 20th-century editorial tug-of-wars: Perkins would go on to cut 90,000 words from the book, and he had to wrestle Perkins hard to keep his next novel, Of Time and the River, at a manageable size.

Jude Law: With maturity comes complication

SCNOW.COM

Posted: Thursday, July 31, 2014 3:05 pm

LONDON — Jude Law feels his work options are widening as he gets older, and he revels in the complications.

The 41-year-old British actor — best known for his roles in "The Talented Mr Ripley," ''Cold Mountain" and more recently "Sherlock Holmes" — says there is now "less emphasis on playing romantic leads."

"You get over a certain age, and you're more complicated anyway," he said in an interview. "So, I guess characters written for that age are more complicated, you know."

Law said he likes to take risks by picking roles that terrify him, such as his much-acclaimed stint in "Henry V" in London's West End last year.

"There's this moment when you haven't quite learnt your lines, the play doesn't feel like it's coming together or at least you don't feel that you've fully understood the role or indeed the piece yet and everyone's looking around for a way out, an excuse," he said, recalling the rehearsal period.

"And yet you know that you have a set day ahead of you when you are going to open to the press — and indeed to the public — and it's nothing short of terrifying."

"It's usually at that moment you question yourself, your job, why you're doing this," he added, "but it's also an opportunity to sort of face failure and fear."

Genius' movie star Jude Law sports baggy pant look in London

June 12, 2014



t was recently announced that actor Jude Law will play the role of Thomas Wolfe in the film "Genius" alongside Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth but that is not what has him front and center in the news.

Fans accustomed to seeing the handsome actor in stylish clothes were given quite the shock when he was photographed in some extremely baggy trousers with his head covered in a cream beanie hat while out on some errands. It was a look that did nothing to accentuate the strong frame of the renowned actor but interestingly it did spark conversation about the movie and his upcoming projects.

The film "Genius" will be filmed in 2015 and will revolve around Max Perkins' time as a book editor at Scribner during which he supervised the works of Thomas Wolfe and Ernest Hemingway among others. Many anticipate that his pairing with Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth will bring another sterling performance from him similar to what he provided the fans of his most recent movie "Dom Hemingway.

Jude Law Replaces Michael Fassbender In 'Genius' With Colin Firth & Nicole Kidman

THE PLAYLIST
BY KEVIN JAGERNAUTH
APRIL 25, 2014 5:29 PM



Finding someone to play legendary author Thomas Wolfe (no, not the white suit guy, the other one) is no small feat. He was a large dude (he sometimes wrote freehand putting his paper on top of the refrigerator), a big drinker, and had a voracious appetite for food (and women), but even with all that, he was deeply sensitive, with his not-so-fictional books shining through with pain, wisdom and beauty accrued from his own experiences. And so, the long-attached Michael Fassbender always seemed a pretty inspired choice to play him in "Genius," but he has exited the project and another actor from across the pond has subbed in.

Jude Law has now stepped into the role of Wolfe, joining Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman in the film. Based on A. Scott Berg's book "Max Perkins: Editor Of Genius," the film recounts the real-life relationship between literary giant Thomas Wolfe (Law) and renowned editor Max Perkins (Firth), who developed a tender, complex friendship that changed the lives of both men forever. No word yet on Kidman's role, but it's presumed she may be playing Wolfe's lover and muse Aline Bernstein.

Tom Hiddleston, Jude Law: Stars compete for Olivier Awards

INDEPENDENT WOMAN
UPDATED 10 MARCH 2014 02:02 PM



Tom Hiddleston and Jude Law will compete for the best actor honour at this year's Olivier Awards, but there is no room for fellow Hollywood star Daniel Radcliffe on the shortlist.

Other nominees for the prestigious theatre awards include Dame Judi Dench who is shortlisted for best actress and Sherlock star Mark Gatiss whose performance in Coriolanus at the Donmar Warehouse sees him nominated for best supporting actor.

Dame Judi is nominated for Peter And Alice in which she starred opposite fellow Bond cast member Ben Whishaw.

Sam Mendes' musical of Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and the revival of Stephen Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along lead the field with seven nominations each.

Law and Hiddleston, nominated for the title roles in Henry V and Coriolanus respectively, face competition from Henry Goodman and another of Dame Judi's 007 co-stars Rory Kinnear.

Goodman is recognised for his performance in The Resistible Rise Of Arturo Ui at the Duchess Theatre, while Kinnear's Iago in the National Theatre production of Othello sees him shortlisted.

Radcliffe, who won best actor at the What's On Stage Awards for The Cripple of Inishmaan, is not shortlisted.

With two Fox Searchlight movies opening in the next several weeks, Jude Law is nearing a deal to work with the studio's parent company 20th Century Fox, as he's in final negotiations to join Melissa McCarthy and Rose Byrne in Paul Feig's spy comedy “Susan Cooper,” an individual familiar with the project has told TheWrap.

“Susan Cooper,” which is being developed as a potential franchise in the same tone as “The Heat,” will be a realistic comedy about a female James Bond-type. Frequent action movie hero Jason Statham is confirmed to co-star in the movie.

The Sherlockians Assess Benedict Cumberbatch

SEATTLE WEEKLY NEWS
by John Longenbaugh Tue., Mar 4 2014 at 05:19PM



I’m a Sherlockian, hardcore. It’s like being the guy who puts on Vulcan ears to watch his favorite Star Trek episodes. I’ve written a much-produced play, Sherlock Holmes and the Case of the Christmas Carol, which debuted at Taproot in 2010, and a yet-unpublished Holmes novel. I even own—though seldom wear—a deerstalker cap. And once a month I meet with like-minded fanatics at The Sound of the Baskervilles gatherings (more on that later), where both Arthur Conan Doyle’s original texts and the new Sherlock Holmes TV shows are avidly discussed.

Suddenly, thanks to those shows, casual Sherlock fans are everywhere—latecomers, we purists scoff. There have never been more high-profile adaptations of Sherlock Holmes than today. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law have starred in two recent Holmes action movies, with a third in the works.

On television we have Elementary on CBS, starring Jonny Lee Miller, and the BBC’s Sherlock, starring Benedict Cumberbatch. Both update Holmes to the contemporary world, though it’s the British version—which just streamed its third season on Netflix—that’s drawn the most critical approval, mine included.

Sherlock comes in big, meaty 90-minute episodes that feel like feature films, free of commercial breaks and the drawn-out storylines that plague American TV. While Sherlock’s London is contemporary, we still detect the underlying Victorian metropolis—the gristle and grit of the wonderful old city. The third season of Sherlock is, I would argue, the best yet, as it focuses on the subtleties of the very human friendship of its two central characters.

(Here let’s stipulate that the pedestrian, New York–set Elementary comes across as a pale copy of Monk or House ; Miller is mostly wasted playing yet another eccentric detective with a ho-hum drug habit; he’s not helped by Lucy Liu’s female yet otherwise unremarkable Watson; and the scripts are utterly mundane.)

Why is Sherlock so good? I am forced to concede that the show’s creators, Mark Gatiss and Stephen Moffat, are even bigger Sherlock nerds than I. They previously helped reboot Doctor Who, and they enliven this show with fancy edits, wipes, fades, and freezes that demonstrate Holmes’ mental processes. His mental observations—a worn collar cuff, a bit of dog hair, too much makeup—even appear on the screen in neat little white script. Graphics show us maps and diagrams as Holmes races through his “mind palace” in search of the correct clue. They also stuff each episode with references to the original Conan Doyle stories. In one repeating trope, a series of clients present their cases to Holmes in a flowing montage, with him providing solutions at lightning speed.

Granted, the show does make occasional missteps, puffing up its protagonist past superhuman and into superhero: Holmes surveys London from a rooftop as if he’s just been summoned by the Sherlock Signal; he leaps on a motorbike like James Bond.

The greatest pleasure to Sherlock is the perfect casting of Cumberbatch as the detective and Martin Freeman as Dr. John Watson; both are clearly having the time of their lives in these iconic roles. Cumberbatch is an actor built to play gods and demons (see: Star Trek Into Darkness). He’s angular and not quite handsome, with a searing intelligence and patrician air. Like the two other great screen Holmeses, Basil Rathbone and Jeremy Brett, there’s a thin, quivering element to his performance that shimmers with impatience. Unlike those earlier actors, however, Cumberbatch embraces Sherlock’s least likable elements. When a policewoman calls him a psychopath, he replies, “I’m a high-functioning sociopath. Do your research.”

Sienna Miller Justifies "I Love You" Comment to Daniel Craig, Kate Moss' Shocking Involvement

E.ONLINE
January 31, 2014
by LILY HARRISON



More juicy tidbits continue to unfold in a British court regarding Jude Law's phone-hacking scandal.

This time, proceedings at the Old Bailey in London further discussed intimate details about Sienna Miller's alleged affair with Daniel Craig.

The blonde took the stand via satellite from New Orleans on Friday, Jan. 31, and was shown sitting next to an FBI agent.

The Brit actress was asked about the voicemail message that she left for the James Bond actor in 2005.

Miller was in a relationship with Law at the time, and reportedly told Craig: "Hi, it's me. I can't speak, I'm at the Groucho with Jude. I love you."

The 32-year-old star explained, "The thing that's been slightly misconstrued about this voicemail message is that I said 'I love you' and that this was some incredibly important declaration of love. I've always ended my calls to Daniel saying 'I love you.'"

Miller was questioned as to whether or not she was carrying on a relationship with Craig the same time that she was dating Law. "Whether or not I was in a relationship with Daniel Craig, it was not a relationship, it was a very brief encounter, and he was my best friend," she explained to the court.

"My saying 'I love you,' whether anything romantic happened briefly or not, there was nothing significant."

Jude Law says in court he didn't know family member sold his stories to NOTW

INDEPENDENT
JAMES CUSICK
Monday 27 January 2014



One of Britain’s leading actors has said he was unaware that the News of the World had paid a member of his family for inside information on his private life.

Jude Law told the hacking trial at the Old Bailey that the first time he had learned that a family member had allegedly sold information to the now-closed News International tabloid was “today”.

The multiple academy award-nominated actor, famous for his roles in The Talented Mr Ripley and recently alongside Robert Downey Jnr in the highly successful Sherlock Holmes films, gave evidence to the court on the period of time when he discovered his former girlfriend and fellow actor, Sienna Miller, was having an affair with the James Bond star, Daniel Craig.

Prior to being questioned about the Miller-Craig affair, Mr Law told the court that when police investigating hacking inside the NOTW had first contacted him, he was “shocked” to find how much information the paper’s specialist private investigator, Glen Mulcaire, had gathered about him.

Mr Mulcaire had pleaded guilty to hacking-related charges earlier in the trial’s progress.

Jude Law: My children keep me sane

STV ENTERTAINMENT
Bang 5 January 2014 00:15 GMT



Jude Law's children keep him sane.

The actor - who is currently starring on stage in Shakespeare's 'Henry V' in London - claims his four children; Rafferty, 17, Iris, 13 and Rudy, 11, with ex-wife Sadie Frost and four-year-old daughter Sophia Lee with model Samantha Burke, are ''in equal parts delighted and embarrassed'' by his job but also the force which keeps him grounded.

He told USA Today newspaper: ''[Acting] is what I get to do only in the hours I'm not [parenting], which is everything to me. My children keep me sane in what is a mad world - particularly mad if you choose to be an actor.''

'Henry V' runs until February, at which point 'The Talented Mr. Ripley' star is looking forward to being able to take some time off.

He added: ''I'll be unemployed as of then. It's not like I want to stop working - it's not like I can. You've got to pay the bills, like everyone else. [But] I'm not desperate. ''There's a certain physical demand to doing eight shows a week, and I haven't had a break in 18 months. By February I'll be quite ready for a break, and I'm going to take one.''

The People Have Spoken: Tom Hiddleston Is The Sexiest Man Alive.

MTV
By Kase Wickman



Our apologies to Adam Levine (and Maroons 1 through 4), but it's time to relinquish the crown of sexiness.

Last month, the musician and "The Voice" judge was deemed the Sexiest Man Alive by People magazine, an honor that has been bestowed upon the likes of Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum and Jude Law in the past. Our readers (who hold the undisputed title of Sexiest Readers Alive, so they know what they're talking about) begged to disagree.

So with all due respect to People, the people have spoken.

The true Sexiest Man Alive is Tom Hiddleston. Bam, you got Loki'd.
