THE NOMINEES Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age Julie Christie, Away From Her Marion Cotillard, La Vie en Rose Laura Linney, The Savages Ellen Page, Juno WHO SHOULD WIN Fareed Ben-Youssef: Julie Christie All of these are great performances, but in some not-so-great movies, which bring us to Julie Christie.

Learning the magic of movies

With Oscar season coming up and hot debate over the relative cinematic merits of films like "Juno" and "There Will Be Blood," I wonder what the members of the Academy, the voters who determine the names called on Oscar night, experience watching all of these movies and evaluating them.

Best Supporting Actress

THE NOMINEES Cate Blanchett, I'm Not There Ruby Dee, American Gangster Saoirse Ronan, Atonement Amy Ryan, Gone Baby Gone Tilda Swinton, Michael Clayton WHO SHOULD WIN Fareed Ben-Youssef: Tilda Swinton Swinton is a creepy force on the screen, but in an imperfect film, she delivers far and away the best performance.

Reaching for the red carpet

For 364 days of the year, I have no idea why anyone admires movie stars. To me, they just seem like a bunch of spoiled children who are more attractive than the rest of us (or can just afford better plastic surgery, not to mention world-famous stylists and makeup artists) and flit around causing trouble for themselves and others, which bored people then read about in tabloid magazines.

New-waver Joe Jackson returns with eclectic tracks

Joe Jackson burst onto the music scene with a bang in 1979 with his classic debut "Look Sharp!" It was the prototypical new-wave album, and it saw Jackson join Elvis Costello as one of the earliest progenitors of a musical style that dominated much of the following decade, influencing bands from Blondie to The Police with its commercially savvy mixture of punk sass and pop smarts.
