Sound Bite: Steve Zeitchik/Borys Kit
Borys - We’re here just moments after the nominations were announced for the golden globes.
Steve – I’m Steve Zeitchik with The Reporter, Borys Kit. Tell me what did you think of some of the choices. I thought particularly Revolutionary Road very big surprise getting as many nominees as it did, uhm and In Bruges the mob comedy from earlier this year that I think quite frankly I think is off a lot of people’s radars.
Borys – It was off a lot of people’s radars because a lot of people couldn’t even understand the dialogue in that movie cause the accents were so thick, but at the same time it was being hailed by a lot of people especially among Hollywood Circles as a movie, people liked that movie a lot but still very surprised because no one has handicapped that movie.
Steve - And what’s so interesting is that movie comes from Focus they got three nominations for I believe In Bruges, they also they also got a couple of nominations for Burn After Reading. Only one nomination for their big hopeful Milk – Sean Penn best actor but the movie did not get a best picture drama nomination nor did it get a nomination for its director Gus Van Sant.
Borys – Right and another big omission The Dark Knight, a lot of speculation that this would get best picture or even best director the only nomination they got was for best supporting actor Heath Ledger.
Steve – And you have to wonder in terms of setting things up for the Oscars, The Dark Knight is the kind of movie that gets a Globe nomination and can really ride that all the way to the Oscars with only Ledger getting in who was pretty much a lock for supporting actor nomination at the Oscars you have to wonder what this does to its Oscar Chances. I’m curious about something else though, when you look at some of these, when you go down the list of some of these movies, movies that we thought might be here very much were, movies like Button got a lot of nominations, uhm you know Rev Road probably snuck in but then you have movies like Frost/Nixon, The Reader. What do you think this does to their chances, does it solidify some movies that we’re already in the front?
Borys – Well the Frost/Nixon part, I mean that’s a movie that has been doing very solidly and it will do solid but it does all of a sudden raise a profile for uh for The Reader and also Revolutionary Road. But then you also at the same time you do have movies like In Bruges that you’re like oh I didn’t really think about that one.
Steve – Although Of course that’s a comedy and its hard to think the academy going for it. The interesting thing you mentioned The Reader and revolutionary Road. And of course the big subplot here, the drama which I think a lot of people are going to pick up on and rightly so Harney Weinstein and Scott Rudin, a lot of debate whether The Reader should come out this year. Scott Rudin walked away from the movie in order to do, to focus on Revolutionary Road now you have both movies going up against each other essentially Harvey vs. Scott in the best motion picture drama category.
Borys – Right but at the same time though to the rest of America are they even going to see these movies?
Steve – Well you get back to the question of the last couple of years which is are the films getting a little too specialized. I’m curious speaking of that though one director whose about to cross over from awards to big nationally prominent films Clint Eastwood, a lot of people thought Gran Torino would get in there. ?
Borys – But Angelina Jolie did get a nomination for Changeling.
Steve – And Eastwood got two Musical Nominations so you know if he’s starting a band I think he’d be in good shape but the swan song of Gran Torino him riding in the sunset as best actor I think a lot of people thought this was going to propel his bid for the oscar and it didn’t happen here today at least.
Borys – The other thing is James Franco got one for Pineapple Express so uh you know in the comedy section for best supporting he got one and so did uh uh uh on the front of shoot…Tropic Thunder.
Steve – Well interestingly Tropic Thunder uh two nominations on the acting side with Downey and Cruz, but a big snub to me perhaps the biggest snub of all, given to what the HMPA traditionally likes, Sex and the City no best comedy, Motion Picture Comedy Musical for Sex and the City I mean that to me, that was as much of a lock as you know as locks get.
Borys – Especially since that movie was such a huge hit world wide.
Steve – over seas and don’t they want Sarah Jessica Parker on the red carpet I mean that’s sort of can we say this in front of the HMP I thought was there whole ? if you will to get to Sarah Jessica Parker and her ilk to the. Interesting though you do have Meyrl Streep getting in for Mamma Mia, She’s going to be going to be competing against herself which has happened before of course with The Globe of Course she also has those added categories she also got nominated for Doubt, it will be very interesting to see how some of these races shape up where people are competing in away against there own interest.
Borys – what’s always interesting is the comedy category impacts the dramatic category cause it does, you do have a wider playing field and so you do and you are allowed for some of these more exocentric choices.
Steve – well what it also does is give a moment in the sun in the in the awards sun to movies like Borat and movies like Mamma Mia This year which you know don’t really have a shot at the Oscars but you know at least this gives them there moment in the sun. To me though the big story here apart from some of the snubs were talking about is revolutionary road very much back on the map in terms of awards and the reader given what Harney Weinstein likes to spend very much in the mix coming out of these nomination.
Borys - And of course a good shot for slumdog
Steve – Slumdog and Button I think the front runners coming in I think you know the front runners coming in are the front runners coming out of the nominations Button and Slumdog between Boyle and Fincher both on directing side
Borys – and Frost/Nixon those are the solid films.
Steve – Frost/Nixon very solid Ron Howard did get a directing nomination so we got our front runners we’ve got the dark horses, we’ve got the snubs uhm and its only 6 in the morning so who knows what will happen the rest of the day.

Sound Bite: Terrence Howard
I would give it to his family because he truly had the best performance of that year (talks) Of any actor he gave more then I’ve seen any actor give and brought a new light, how do you step into Jack Nicholson’s shoes, how do you do that and stretch them. He stretched Jack Nicholson’s shoes.
