The muddy Glastonbury Festival is never short of A-list guests, and Hollywood stars Bradley Cooper and Michael Fassbender chose to stick together on Sunday night.

The actors were joined by Noel Gallagher after Massive Attack's Grant Mitchell created a sound system out of Beats Pill XL speakers for an impromptu after-party.
Bradley, 39, was seen laughing away with the Oasis hitmaker while showing him something on his phone, before partying with the likes of Sam Smith, Jaime Winstone and Nick Grimshaw.

Benedict Cumberbatch, James McAvoy: Weinstein sets awards season dates for 'Big Eyes,' 'Imitation Game' and 'Eleanor Rigby

HITFIX
By Kristopher Tapley   Friday, May 2, 2014 3:56 PM



The Weinstein Company has a pretty tight slate of prestige titles this year, a number of them likely set for the upcoming Oscar circuit. And indeed, today we're getting word that three of them are all lined up for prime awards season real estate on the release calendar, setting the stage for another slew of months in the trenches for Harvey and his team.

Still, even a packed slate bursting with potential can be a bit of a burden. After all, the indie distributor is coming off a pretty busy but still skin-of-their-teeth Oscar season where a lack of overall campaign focus nearly cost them; for a while there, it was looking like none of TWC's many baity 2013 contenders was going to land a Best Picture nomination. But "Philomena" pulled it out, and I couldn't help but to congratulate Harvey at the Critics' Choice Movie Awards on the night of the Oscar nominations back in January for dodging that bullet.

"Big Eyes" has secured a release date of Christmas Day, which puts it toe-to-toe with Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken," Rob Marshall's big Disney musical "Into the Woods" and Cameron Crowe's still-untitled latest. However, recent history proves that December releases just don't gain the traction to win Best Picture at the Oscars: Clint Eastwood's "Million Dollar Baby" 10 years ago was the last to do so.

I imagine studios eager to be in the awards game this year may be looking to last season for a few cues, though. The two last films to drop on press and public last time around, "American Hustle" and "The Wolf of Wall Street," landed a bunch of nominations before the hangover eventually wore off (neither won an Oscar). Sometimes the goal is just the monetary boost of being in that conversation; that's long been part of Weinstein's overall strategy with his films.

The bigger play for Harvey this year might be Morten Tyldum's "The Imitation Game," starring Benedict Cumberbatch as early computer technology pioneer Alan Turing. I read this script, which was raved up one side and down the other when it was making the rounds a few years back, and it's a fantastic role for Cumberbatch that will likely find him in the thick of the Best Actor race. Plus, it has a much more Academy-friendly release date: Nov. 21.

When you look back over TWC's recent Oscar successes, the Thanksgiving corridor has paid dividends. "The King's Speech," "The Artist," "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Philomena" all hit theaters in late-November before marching on to Best Picture nominations. I would expect this to be pretty good bet, depending on how the "Headhunters" director navigates the material in his first English-language gig. Keira Knightley, Matthew Goode and Mark Strong also star.

Gerard Butler 'had no idea Bradley Cooper Wimbledon selfie went viral' Published Monday, Jul 8 2013, 11:17pm EDT | By Daniel Sperling and Kate Goodacre (DIGITAL SPY)

Gerard Butler has expressed surprise that a photograph of himself and Bradley Cooper posing for a self-portrait at the Wimbledon men's singles final has gone viral.

The two actors were in the crowd for Andy Murray's first Wimbledon victory on Sunday, where Cooper was seen taking a 'selfie' of the pair on his smartphone. The image was shared repeatedly on Twitter in the aftermath of the game.

When asked if he knew that the photograph had gone viral, Butler told Digital Spy and other journalists at the Novak Djokovic Foundation gala dinner: "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't go on the internet, so I don't know what [a 'selfie'] is."

The 300 star also joked about the duo's matching suits, saying: "Bradley and I are friends. [The matching outfits] was coincidence. It was a little embarrassing. We didn't mention it at the time.

"We gave each other a hug, then looked down and went, 'Oh, s**t'."

Jennifer Lawrence Nicholas Hoult Dating Again? UPDATE: 'Hunger Games' Actress 'Getting a Lot Closer' with 'X-Men' Boyfriend on Set BY Jon Niles, Mstarz reporter , Mstarz reporter | Jun 21, 2013 09:45 AM EDT

Last week some photos were spreading around the Internet, showing Silver Linings Playbook actress Jennifer Lawrence and Warm Bodies actor Nicholas Hoult hanging out together. The two are currently in Montreal filming X-Men: Days of Future Past, so it makes sense that they would be spending time together.

But the two young stars used to date so a lot of people are hoping that the two are rekindling their romance that ended earlier in 2013 due to busy schedules. It looks like their schedules have brought them back together though!

22-year-old Academy Award-winning actress Lawrence met the 23-year-old British actor on the set of X-Men: First Class. They dated for about 2 years before deciding to go their separate ways. The two remained friends and rumors started to mount with the announcement of this super hero sequel.

The two apparently were not trying to cool these rumors either, as they dined together in the Spring of 2013 and then started spending more time together while filming in Montreal. A few weeks ago, Nicholas accompanied Jen on a visit her brother and his family two weekends ago.

The Italian Job star previously insisted he would step away from the movie business when he turned 80 in March (13), but he decided to abandon the plan and carry on making films.

He also reveals he wants to work with recent Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence, who picked up a Best Actress trophy for her role in Silver Linings Playbook.

Bradley Cooper Dines With Michael Fassbender In London (SOCIALITE LIFE)

Actor Bradley Cooper pictured leaving the Wolseley after having a meal with Michael Fassbender and his girlfriend before heading back to the Bulgari Hotel in London, England on May 24, 2013

Actors Bradley Cooper and Michael Fassbender, along with Michael’s new girlfriend, enjoyed a meal together last night (May 24, 2013) at the London restaurant Wolseley.

Afterwards, the group carried on the party at The Bulgari Hotel in Kensington till 1am. There was no sign of Bradley’s girlfriend Suki Waterhouse. Maybe she wasn’t grooving on the mini-ponytail that Bradley was sporting. It would definitely be a deal killer for me.

Martin Freeman: The Hobbit actor was named best hero, while Silver Linings Playbook continued its awards season domination with three wins (RADIO TIMES)

He may play the sidekick to BBC's dynamic detective Sherlock, but Martin Freeman's Hollywood breakthrough as The Hobbit's Bilbo Baggins has won him an MTV Movie Award for best action hero. Voted for by fans on social media sites Twitter and Instagram, the star of the Lord of the Rings prequel (who was absent from the Californian ceremony) scored an impressive 1,637,179 votes, beating off competition from Snow White and The Huntsman's Kristen Stewart, Christian Bale and Anne Hathaway (The Dark Knight Rises), and Robert Downey Jr's Iron Man in The Avengers.

Another absentee on the night was Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence who landed the coveted prize for best female performance for her role in award-winning rom-com Silver Linings Playbook. The film also triumphed in the best kiss and best male performance categories which were accepted by Bradley Cooper – although his co-star's no-show was the subject of controversy throughout the evening. Officially put down to a "scheduling conflict", it saw MTV facing a last minute scramble to rearrange a planned sketch with host Rebel Wilson, with even the network's website admitting to an "audibly upset room" in reaction to Lawrence's absence.

Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained and Seth MacFarlane's Ted lead this year's nominations for the MTV Movie Awards 2013, with seven nods apiece, including the coveted prize for Movie of the Year.

COLIN FIRTH: Tom Shadyac Eyes Untouchable Remake, With Colin Firth Circling MARCH 1, 2013 BY TIM ISAAC

Last year Untouchable (aka The Intouchables) became the highest grossing French movie in history, taking over $400 million around the world. It’s little wonder then that Hollywood is interested in a remake. Now Deadline reports that a perhaps surprising name is attached to direct, Tom Shadyac – best known for broad comedy hits Liar Liar, Bruce Almighty, The Nutty Professor and Ace Ventura.

Colin Firth is said to be circling a lead role, but nothing has been set in stone yet. Back in November, it was reported that Silver Linings Playbook star Chris Tucker had showed interest in the movie, but it’s not known if he’s still involved.

Oscars 2013: Daniel Day-Lewis collects record third Oscar with a smile Lincoln star says he needs to 'lie down for a couple of years' as he dismisses attempts to label him greatest ever actor as 'daft' Maev Kennedy and Catherine Shoard The Guardian, Monday 25 February 2013 17.43 EST

Long after the Californian sun rose, the Oscar winners and losers were waking up after a night of loud applause and louder frocks, hilarious acceptance speeches and dire jokes.

As universally predicted, Daniel Day-Lewis took the Oscar for best actor for his towering performance in Lincoln, and also enters the record books as the first male actor to be a third-time victor, after winning for My Left Foot in 1990 and There Will Be Blood in 2008.

Day-Lewis is sometimes seen as a remote and slightly chilly figure, renowned for his obsessive preparation and for remaining in character throughout the filming – hard on his wife, the actor and director Rebecca Miller, given that the 16th president of the United States had a notoriously difficult relationship with his wife, who spent time in a mental hospital after his death.

"Since we got married 16 years ago, my wife Rebecca has lived with some very strange men," he told the audience. "Luckily she's the versatile one of the family and she's been the perfect companion to all of them."

Day-Lewis also won the audience accolade for the best joke when he insisted that Meryl Streep, presenter of his Oscar, had been Steven Spielberg's first choice to play Abraham Lincoln, and in return he himself had been destined to play Margaret Thatcher.

Backstage after his win, he said he could not think of anyone else he urgently wants to play. "I need to lie down for a couple of years. It's really hard to imagine doing anything after this." He dismissed any attempt to label him the greatest actor of all time as "daft".

Daniel Day-Lewis likely to win Best Actor Oscar Reuters | 18 hours ago

LOS ANGELES: Daniel Day-Lewis is expected to make Hollywood history by winning his third Best Actor Oscar on Feb. 24 but the public is split over who deserves the Best Supporting Actor prize, a Reuters poll showed.

Day-Lewis, 55, has already picked up almost every major award this season for playing US President Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg’s Civil War-era drama “Lincoln” and he is front-runner for the top British BAFTA award on Feb. 10.

A Reuters Ipsos poll of 909 Americans found 21 per cent thought British-born Day-Lewis, 55, should win and 26 per cent said he was most likely to win Best Actor at the Oscars for Lincoln, a role he assumed both off and on set during filming.

He is up against Hugh Jackman, who came second in the Reuters poll for musical “Les Miserables,” Bradley Cooper in the quirky romance “Silver Linings Playbook,” Joaquin Phoenix in cult drama “The Master” and Denzel Washington as an alcoholic pilot in “Flight.”

If Day-Lewis does win, he will be the first man to take home the Best Actor statue three times, having won the award in 1990 for playing severely disabled Irish artist Christy Brown in “My Left Foot” and in 2008 for his role as oil prospector Daniel Plainview in “There Will be Blood.”

But Day-Lewis, who chooses his roles carefully and has only appeared in 10 films in the past 20 years, was not taking a win for granted. It took Spielberg three attempts to persuade him to sign up for the lead role in “Lincoln.”

“Members of the Academy love surprises, so about the worst thing that can happen to you is if you’ve built up an expectation,” the actor told reporters after winning the Screen Actors Guild trophy in Los Angeles last week.
