LOS ANGELES, Mar. 12, 2001 -- It looks like Russell and Tom will be twiddling their thumbs a while longer. The two frontrunners for the Best Actor Oscar were trounced at Sunday night's Screen Actors Guild Awards, a closely watched barometer whose lead performance winners have gone on to Oscar gold 10 out of 12 times. The culprit? Benicio Del Toro, who took the lead actor trophy for "Traffic" regardless of his supporting role Oscar nod. The drug-war drama, which features a core cast of 19 and 135 speaking parts in all, won the evening's film ensemble award over "Almost Famous," "Billy Elliot," "Chocolat" and "Gladiator." Meanwhile, Julia Roberts jumped another hurdle toward Oscar glory with a leading actress win for "Erin Brockovich," with Albert Finney winning for supporting actor. "This is freaky," the shaken Roberts said at the podium. "If this was a pro

Held at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif., the awards show is organized by the International Press Academy, a splinter group of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the group that puts on the Golden Globes). The IPA also awarded “Chicken Run” the animated feature prize and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” the foreign film award. Leading dramatic acting honors went to Geoffrey Rush for “Quills” and Ellen Burstyn for “Requiem for a Dream.” Bruce Greenwood took the actor in a supporting ro
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 19, 2000 -- "Gladiator" and "Traffic" lead the nominations for the fifth annual Golden Satellite Awards presented by the International Press Academy. "Gladiator," with 10 nominations, and "Traffic," with nine nods, are competing against "Billy Elliot," "Erin Brockovich," "Quills" and "Dancer in the Dark" for best motion picture drama, according to Daily Variety. The nominations for best motion picture comedy or musical are "Almost Famous," "Best in Show," "Nurse Betty," "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?," "State and Main" and "Wonder Boys." The 10 nods for "Gladiator" include a director nomination for Ridley Scott, Russell Crowe for best actor in a drama and Joaquin Phoenix for supporting actor in a drama.

The exodus of U.S. production companies from Hollywood to Toronto has begun to deplete the existing talent pool in the Canadian city, resulting in a sharp increase in production costs, the New York Times reported today (Tuesday).
HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 18, 2001 -- And who says traffic is bad? USA Films has landed the best TV rights deal for a movie in its history, and it's got "Traffic" to thank. The studio has sold the border-crossing drug flick to both NBC and its affiliated cable channel USA Network in a deal that would yield the studio up to about 17 percent of the film's eventual domestic gross in total license fees from both of the networks, Daily Variety says. According to sources, NBC would pay 12 percent of the total gross of the film for its exclusive two-year deal, and USA Network would shell out 5 percent. In other words, if "Traffic" hits the $100 million mark, the Peacock Network would have to pay $12 million vs. USA Network's $5 million. The flick is slated to go to NBC in September 2003, about 18 months after the movie begins its cable run on Showtime. SURVIVING OV

'Traffic' HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 13, 2000 -- Not bad for a little film that came out of nowhere -- and another ensemble film that has yet to have a wide release. The critical favorite and hardly seen "You Can Count on Me" and director Steven Soderbergh's "Traffic" were among the winners of the 2000 New York Film Critics Circle Awards announced today. "You Can Count on Me" garnered a best actress nod for Laura Linney and took best screenplay for scribe Ken Longergan. Soderbergh continued his winning streak with another best director nod for his films "Erin Brockovich" and "Traffic," with the drug pic nabbing the best picture award and a best supporting actor nod for Benicio Del Toro from the New York critics. Soderbergh was named the director of the year by the National Board of Review earlier this month. Tom Hanks The best actor award went to seas
