Why can't Britain do The Wire?I liked this bit,
After winning an Oscar with American Beauty, Alan Ball eschewed the big screen and created Six Feet Under for HBO. In the DVD commentary to the pilot, he describes handing in the edgy first draft to the head of the channel. Having been through the Hollywood studio mill, Ball expected the worst, but the only note he had back read: “Can you make it more fucked up?”

17 Salvageable shorts from multi-director anthology filmsA really interesting list and, although a lot of the videos are incomplete, the ones that are are great. The Coen Brothers one with Josh Brolin, in particular, is great.

Roger Corman finally receives an OscarI suppose that it's nice that they finally gave him his due, but at a separate, untelevised ceremony secreted away? Not exactly the best display of their admiration for him.

The lack of recognition given to Corman by the Academy is something I've complained about for years. I'm so glad he's finally got one, but a great shame it was at such a low key event.

It was a good idea, but despite good performances from both Patrick Stewart and Ashley Jensen, overall it was pretty dull.

Hit and miss mainly. The Office works superly though. And also - weirdly - Sanford and Son (the American Steptoe and Son) was hugely popular in the 70s. The writers took only the basics and then changed things well - particularly, making the main characters black and living in Watts.

The Grammy nominations were announced yesterday. It makes for typically uninspiring stuff, but I just noticed that The Lonely ft. T-Pain have been nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for 'I'm On A Boat'. I hope they win since it may cause rap music to eat itself.

No doubt this will be of interest to some here:
Lengthy onstage interview with David LynchIt's all pretty interesting, but the best story is his description of why he turned down Return of the Jedi, something I've never been able to find much about before.

South bank show awards nominees are greatAnd include one of our weeks!
The Classical Music nominations are: City of Dreams: Vienna 1900-1935 – which was a nine month exploration of the art and culture of Vienna, and one of the first major projects by the Philharmonia Orchestra and its new Principal Conductor and Artistic Advisor Esa-Pekka Salonen; Nielsen Inextinguishable – two leading British orchestras, The Hallé Orchestra and The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, join forces for a cycle of symphonies by arguably Denmark’s greatest composer, Carl Nielsen; and
Easter Reflections – Harry Christophers’ choir The Sixteen, drawing on sublime choral masterpieces of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.Boom!

Sort of expected, he took more a pay cut of two 3rds of his wage but I'd still work for them for £2m!
He'll be heading to channel 4 then probably.

He was on Big Fat Quiz of the Year wasn't he? That sort of indicated to me that he was moving onto 4, the Beeb would surely not let their biggest star onto another channel for a panel show without knowing he was soon to go.
He's been on that show a few times, he was particularly funny a few years back when arguing with David Walliams (world's most competitive man).

I'm sad that Wossy is leaving, I always enjoyed his radio show and his Friday night show and he's always come across to me as a nice person. I'll definitely miss both of those, especially being overseas as I end up feeling rather starved for UK entertainment. No more Adam and Joe as well is a double poop.

Also isn't Adam in a new series called The Persuasionists or something?
