Jodie Foster Premieres Nim’s Island

It’s almost here… this Friday (April 4th) the fantasy/adventure film “Nim’s Island” hits theaters, and Jodie Foster and Abigail Breslin were spotted at the big Hollywood premiere yesterday.

The “Silence of the Lambs” actress looked cute and conservative in a bluish-grey 1940s-style short-sleeved dress as she smiled for the cameras.  Jodie has always been more a fan of letting her acting, rather than her clothes, define her.

Abigail Breslin is Officially a Girl Scout

When most girls join the Girl Scouts of the USA there aren’t paparazzi and reporters at the ceremony.  But Abigail Breslin isn’t most girls.

The “Little Miss Sunshine” star was inducted into the Girl Scouts of the USA last night at the Zanuck Theater at the 20th Century Fox Lot in Century City, California.

Little Miss Sunshine, The Departed Take Top WGA Honors

The much unheralded, yet ever important Writers Guild of America held their awards ceremony on February 11th. The event, which was completely outshadowed by the Grammys, honored Oscar rivals Little Miss Sunshine and The Departed with the two top awards. The road trip comedy, Little Miss Sunshine, which is about a family who takes their youngest member on a trip across America to enter a California beauty pageant, took the best original screenplay gong to Michael Arndt. The Departed, a remake of the Hong Kong police drama Infernal Affairs, took the best adapted screenplay prize for writer William Monahan.

Both films are up for best film at the Academy Awards on February 25, where they will also compete with The Queen, Letters From Iwo Jima and Babel. Many members of the guild are also entitled to vote in the Oscars so last night’s awards does provide a useful indicator of success later this month.
