Ben Affleck’s Argo defied decades of Oscar history to win Best Picture at the 85th Academy Awards, despite its helmer not being nominated for Best Director. In a teary speech, Affleck made note of his miraculous Hollywood comeback after years left out in the cold. Tonight, he’s the toast of the town. Argo scored two other prizes at […]

By Simon Miraudo February 15, 2013 When the first cavemen started to tell stories by projecting shadows onto flat surfaces, we suspect they were forced to compete for an annual award that recognised one’s shadowplay as better than the others. You can also assume that there were onlookers who clubbed each other to death over […]

By Simon Miraudo February 6, 2013 Lincoln is directed by Steven Spielberg and stars Daniel Day-Lewis as the 16th President of the United States.

Daniel Day-Lewis is practically a mortal lock for the Best Actor prize at this year’s Oscar ceremony. In fact, the Academy probably started inscribing his name on the award as soon as it was announced he’d be playing the title character in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln. There was, however, a time when he didn’t even want to […]

A second trailer for Steven Spielberg’s inevitable Oscar-sweeper Lincoln debuted during last week’s Presidential debate, contrasting the muted rhetoric of Barack Obama and Mitt Romney with America’s most beloved leader showing off swagger of Jay-Z proportions. Here, we see plenty of footage that implies this biopic won’t be as soggy as Spielberg’s other similarly-themed epics (Amistad, War Horse), […]

Steven Spielberg‘s plan to emancipate all the Oscars from the Academy’s hands seems to be coming together quite nicely, with the trailer for his Lincoln looking like the awards-fodder we always expected it to be. That said, it’s hard not to anticipate an Abraham Lincoln biopic with Daniel Day-Lewis in the leading role, no matter how “worthy” […]

In case you were concerned Steven Spielberg‘s Abraham Lincoln biopic starring Daniel Day-Lewis wouldn’t be a serious affair, here is a stoic poster to allay your fears.

The first image of Daniel Day-Lewis as legendary American president Abraham Lincoln in Steven Spielberg‘s upcoming biopic has been released by Entertainment Weekly. Gee, we hope that’s not a theatre he’s sitting at… He seems to be rather exhausted here, perhaps from a recent battle with the undead, or, more likely, due to the weight […]

Steven Spielberg has been one very busy man with Tin Tin: The Secret Of The Unicorn and War Horse set for release at the end of 2011. Showing no signs of slowing down, Spielberg has further committed to Robopocalypse. But before that gets under way he’s taking on America’s favourite dead president, Abraham Lincoln. Spielberg […]
