1. Hollywood, I Want to Lay You Down by the Fire

    For Your Consideration: The New York Times “Breakthrough Performances” Oscar themed package. Included is the “Breakthroughs” video with eight of the chosen 15 listing some of their early acting influences, along with an audio slideshow.

    Also from NYT, images from “Shooting Stars,” (via Goldenfiddle) a photoshoot video where Josh Brolin, Amy Ryan, Hal “Hot Bod” Holbrook, Paul Dano, James McAvoy, Ellen Page, and Seth Rogen (pictured, respectively) join Michael Cera, Sienna Miller, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Marion Cotillard, Julie Christie, Jim Sturgess, and Tang Wei in poses and scenery reminiscent of an Urban Outfitters catalog. Best moment would be Michael Cera’s “Come on, is this necessary? A smoke machine?” giggle while being enveloped in cloud cover.
