SAG, AFTRA publish merger paperwork

Screen Stars Guild and also the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists have published their suggested merger documents online on their own particular internet sites. SAG's board approved the proposal Friday and AFTRA adopted on Saturday. The documents went live Tuesday evening. The proposal is going to be sent on February. 27 to 120,000 SAG people and 70,000 AFTRA people, who include stars, tv stations, DJs, performers and ballroom dancers. To pass through, the referendum would want a 60% approval margin from both orgs among votes cast. The brand new union is going to be known as SAG-AFTRA, should people approve the merger election. SAG people defeated merger plans in 1999 and 2003 while AFTRA people supported both. In 2003, the merged union could have been known as the Alliance of Intl. Media Artists, who have been an issue within the defeat. Each site -- world wide web.sag.org and world wide web.aftra.com -- also contained the next message: "You may already know, merger referendum ballots are scheduled to become mailed on or about Feb 27 - but people of both unions now have the complete merger documents online. Full printed merger documents may also be mailed to every voter using the referendum ballot, which is due for return on March 30. This can give each member enough time to create a thoughtful and well-informed decision." The websites also contain links to see the SAG-AFTRA Merger Agreement, SAG-AFTRA Metabolic rate and also the Pension & Health / Health & Retirement Feasibility Review.

Oscars 2012: Nominations We're Actually Happy About

Well, we finally know who will be competing for Oscar gold come Feburary 26, and with everyone everywhere talking about this year's nominees, a lot of people are ticked off. So much of the post-nomination Oscar conversation gets swallowed up by the angry cries of snubs and shutouts. While we're just as mad about some of the nominations as you are (No Albert Brooks? No "50/50"? "Extremely Loud"?), there are plenty of nominations that came as pleasant surprises and have us really looking forward to Oscar night. Here is the list of our favorite nominations. Gary Oldman for Best Actor Today is the day many—Gary Oldman included—have waited for. After making a career for himself playing some of the movies' darkest and most memorable characters, Oldman finally earned an Oscar nomination. The Academy must have realized how foolish they looked for passing the legendary British actor over for decades. Perhaps they were waiting for Oldman to turn the volume down, because his role in "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" is by far is quietest, but nonetheless powerful. "The Tree of Life" for Best Picture/Terrence Malick for Best Director As a rule, the nominees for Best Picture should include at least one film that features dinosaurs. With the exception of Terrence Malick's epic, this years contenders for the top prize represent the categories safest race in years. George Clooney's appeal makes even Alexander Payne's "The Descendants" Oscar-friendly. The Picture and Director nominations for the film and Malick were two of the few instances of the Academy defying expectations today, even if in a minor way. Melissa McCarthy for Best Supporting Actress A snub from the Golden Globes caused more than a little concern that this summer's breakout comedy star might get passed up for an Oscar nomination. Fortunately, that wasn't the case for Melissa McCarthy. The actress rallied for an Academy comeback to earn the nomination she missed out on from the Hollywood Foreign Press. Thus making crapping in a sink for "Bridesmaids" totally worth it. "Man or Muppet" for Best Original Song When "The Muppets" finally returned to the big screen, it was never a question of whether Bret McKenzie's songs would be nominated. "How many?" seemed more valid. The Globes passed him up, something we dismissed as odd HFPA politics, and even though the Academy only nominated two songs total, they picked the right one. "Man or Muppet" stole the show, so here's to hoping we get a live performance on Oscar night. "Drive" for Best Sound Editing It isn't often that we'll get excited for Best Sound Editing, but when we do, it's because that's the only nomination for "Drive." We may eventually get over the egregious oversight in the Best Supporting Actor category (sorry, Mr. Brooks), but if "Drive" doesn't take away one award, we might just lose it. Like, elevator scene, lose it. Which of the Oscar nominations made you the happiest? Let us know in the comments below and one Twitter!

Robert Downey Jr. Expresses Interest In Tim Burton's 'Pinocchio'

Only two days after Tim Burton announced that he would like Robert Downey Jr. to be the puppeteer Geppetto in his upcoming live-action "Pinocchio" film, the "Iron Man" and "The Avengers" star has confirmed that he would be interested in the role. In other parts of the internet, Television Without Pity's annual "Movies Without Pity" awards show is starting up, Rob Marshall has started talking "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" and Daniel Radcliffe's promo reel for this week's "Saturday Night Live" has us cracking up. It's January 11, and you're here for today's daily news round-up. Robert Downey Jr. Game For "Pinocchio"? It was pretty big news earlier this week when Tim Burton said he was considering directing a live-action version of "Pinocchio" and that he would want Robert Downey Jr. for the role of Geppetto, so it's no surprise that Downey Jr. heard about it. Omelete caught up with the "Iron Man" actor at the Brazilian premiere of "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," where he said he was definitely intrigued by the role. "I want to talk to him about it, yeah!" Downey Jr. said. "C'mon, it's Tim Burton." Second Annual "Movies Without Pity Awards" Gear Up Based on the way you've all been busy voting in the MTV Movie Brawl 2012, we figure you all appreciate a good fan-voted awards show. Television Without Pity is starting their second annual "Movies Without Pity Awards" this week, and voting will run through February 12. With categories like "Best Cast In the Worst Movie" and "Least Convincing Screen Couple," how can we resist tossing our vote into the pot? Rob Marshall To Tackle "Into The Woods" Rob Marshall's latest cinematic outing, "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," might have been a big-budget action movie, but the director made a name for himself helming big screen musical adaptations. His next project is going to be an adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's classic "Into the Woods," which will follow in the footsteps of previous Marshall Broadway adaptations "Chicago" and "Nine." The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Lapine is already working on writing a script for this new film, which Marshall expects to have new songs from Sondheim. ...He's Also Thinking About "Pirates 5" Even though he's gearing up to work on "Into the Woods," Marshall is also thinking about his other Disney commitment: the fifth "Pirates of the Caribbean" film. "Terry [Rossio] is writing it and hes working incredibly hard and he did a draft and rethought it all and started working on it again," Marshall told THR. "I know Johnny feels the same way: He needs to see a script, but he would be happy -- if its the right script -- to put that hat and sword back on." A New International Poster Debuts For "John Carter" Andromeda High has posted the newest international poster for "John Carter." The film's promotion is no longer trying to shirk from the fact that this is going to be a CGI-heavy production with lots and lots of aliens, and we're totally okay with that. Better that than audiences going in thinking the movie is about mostly humanoids like the first trailer seemed to suggest. Daniel Radcliffe's "Saturday Night Live" Promos Premiere Sure, these aren't as funny as Daniel Radcliffe punching Josh Horowitz in the face (here's a GIF to prove our point) but we could listen to him saying, "Chill broseph, I like Mountain Dew and big butts!" in an American accent all day long.

FCC topper wants action on auctions

FCC chief Julius Genachowski wants Congress to authorize spectrum auctions.FCC chairman Julius Genachowski on Wednesday known for Congress to supply his agency the right to conduct voluntary incentive auctions which will release spectrum for broadband bandwidth.Genachowski, within the annual CES address, reported broad bipartisan support for your auctions but noted some countering plans stand if this involves getting authorization."We would like to get it done now which we want to get it done right," he told the CES crowd in Las vegas. "The cost of tying our hands may be devastating inside the fast-moving global economy."Comes from the spectrum might be split between the kind of the television stations that own the spectrum as well as the U.S. Treasury.What's at risk, according to Genachowski, is the fitness of the U.S. economy. In addition, the U.S. risks falling behind inside the global race to provide broadband at levels that could deal with other nations. While Europe attracted while watching U.S. on third generation technology, the U.S. has produced up an early on lead in 4G it risks losing.Around the consumer level, the companies behind the lot of cell phones and pills in the marketplace may be "swamped by an ocean of demand" in case your spectrum crunch gets control.About unlicensed spectrum, Genachowski challenged the idea it cannot provide compensation for the Treasury. "It doesn't give money to the Treasury coffers ahead of time but new firms that generate hundreds of huge levels of dollars of revenue are creating significant tax revenues as time passes,Inch he noted.In the Q&A with CEA leader Gary Shapiro following his keynote address, Genachowski reported the NY market, where 28 different Tv producers are selecting spectrum that might be employed for broadband."No-it's possible to title 28 stations in NY without any one thinks this is actually the right number," mentioned Genachowski. "The wonderful factor in regards to the incentive auction might be the marketplace will decide."Congress is predicted to decide on enabling the FCC to help keep incentive auctions by March 1.

Request Matt: Dance, Downton Abbey, CSI, Guilty Pleasures and much more!

Which Means You Think You Are Able To Dance Send inquiries to askmatt@tvguidemagazine.com and follow me on Twitter!Question: I heard somewhere that Fox is going to be eliminating Which Means You Think You Are Able To Dance following this season which this year is going to be shaved lower a little. How is this true? This is among the best "reality" shows on television. It's classy, inspiring, emotional, and that i keep being astonished by the quantity of brilliant talent there's available and every season the talent will get better, if that is possible. They are truly extreme sports athletes. Can anything be achieved to help keep this jewel on? - CorinneMatt Roush: It never affects to show more and more people onto your preferred endangered show, but I am unsure Which Means You Think You Are Able To Dance is very ready because of its last dance yet (accidental Donna Summer time reference). So Fox intends to tweak the format considerably this summer time, including getting rid of the weekly "results" episode. I am unsure yet how that will work, and I am unsure they are fully aware yet. (Could not they simply turn it into a more workable half-hour results show? Could not everyone?) So although this kind of chipping away is unquestionably worrisome, I'll hold Fox's entertainment chief Kevin Reilly to his statement over the past weekend that no network's reality franchises - this being my personal favorite, including (most days) the outcomes show - 're going away.Question: After reading through your many posts regarding American Horror Story, it's apparent that you simply dislike this show. I felt similarly in early episodes, however because it began to connect story lines, it grew to become a guilty pleasure for me personally. It got me wondering whether you've any implies that you like which are simply bad in which you overlook the professional critical side individuals and merely appreciate it. What are a few of your faves? - RobMatt Roush: There's bad, after which there's reprehensible, and that i honestly have trouble imagining just one enjoyable aspect to American Horror Story (save Jessica Lange), which disgusted me without ever really frightening me. But that is old news. Obviously I've "guilty pleasures" - who does not? - although typically, I won't feel guilty about something that brings me actual pleasure. Probably the most apparent current candidate for guilty-pleasure status right now is ABC's Revenge, that we find crazy and frequently comically badly behaved, however it doesn't have pretensions about being not a juicy, go-for-broke cleaning soap, so that as it found its voice, the formula of Emily-takes-lower-an-enemy has fortunately broadened to provide her some truly memorable antagonists within the psycho Tyler (whose farewell, for the time being, would be a series high point a week ago) and also the "real" Emily-now-Amanda, a vixen from the greatest low order. It jogs my memory from the heyday from the prime-time cleaning soap, which really were guilty pleasures of mine, most memorably Knots Landing, that we loved and throughout probably the most primitive VCR era managed to maintain, whilst doing my critical duty concerning the more culturally important NBC dramas that broadcast for the reason that same Thursday period of time, including Hill Street Blues and L.A. Law. I suppose I'd also classify my couple of reality destructive addictions, just about all in the competition genre (Top Chef, the approaching Face Off on Syfy, etc.) as guilty pleasures, because I can not really justify time I devote to them as not relaxing and enjoyable. No shame for the reason that. So that as formerly talked about, a show like Which Means You Think You Are Able To Dance isn't a guilty pleasure. It's among the best shows on television. I sure hope Fox does not spoil it.Want more Matt Roush? Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!Question: I'm wondering knowing anything concerning the second season of BBC's up-to-date Sherlock. Yes, it broadcast on BBC One out of Britain a week ago. Will we must wait six several weeks to determine it in the usa on PBS? - JeffreyMatt Roush: Can you be satisfied with four? Sherlock will go back to the Masterpiece selection in May, and I have heard only good stuff to date. I understand waiting for is irritating, but Masterpiece has a tendency to save its key mystery franchises for spring and/or summer time. And extremely, who are able to complain, as lengthy as Downton Abbey is on? Talking about which:Question: Loving Downton Abbey and that i heard somewhere that this can be a limited series. If only there have been more episodes inside a season. I like all of the cast and also the story lines. Are you aware if there's an finish around the corner or maybe they intend on more episodes next season? All the experts appear to love it along with the public. The rankings happen to be excellent within the United kingdom, but I don't know how rankings have been in the U.S. and just how that actually works. I would like to visit a dozen or even more episodes next season, like our cable series. Are you currently an admirer? - ElMatt Roush: Downton Abbey is really a hit on sides of water-feature, and you will see another season, that is induce to celebrate - just in case you skipped my overview of the 2nd series, I am a huge fan, and also the first season rated second on my small Top Ten list for 2011. The recognition from the show is not related to the number of episodes air it is a purpose of the type of British TV, which (usually to the benefit) has a tendency to produce less episodes a season compared to more-is-more American way. I am Comfortable with a set such as this departing us wanting more, because what there's of it's so very satisfying.Question: I have seen reported the second season of Downton Abbey will air in seven episodes on PBS, however in the United kingdom, it had been eight episodes along with a two-hour Christmas special. Will PBS be showing everything, such as the special? They edited season 1 together oddly, therefore it is certainly possible they are going that route again, but they have been pretty uncommunicative about them. - JessicaMatt Roush: The foremost and last nights from the PBS run mix two episodes - using the final evening on February. 19 being the 2-hour Christmas "special" - so there is nothing being lost within the translation here. (There might be some minor edits, although not towards the extent of last season, that was blown way to avoid it of proportion.)Question: Is George Eads departing CSI? He's hardly been in this year and that he wasn't around the last episode prior to the break. - ConnieMatt Roush: Not too I am aware, even though I will not keep on contract discussions, I'd be amazed if he's considering an exit at this time. I recieve that you are an admirer, but a real possibility check is needed. This is a very busy transitional season for CSI, presenting a vital new cast member (Ted Danson) very effectively, while lounging the footwork for among the originals (Marg Helgenberger) to go away later this month. Wonderful that happening, it's only natural for that relaxation from the ensemble to recede a little in to the background. I am sure Nick's time can come again.Question: It appears like all time I write, it's to complain about NBC, and also the year isn't altering that. I had been speaking with we think it's feasible that the Peacock has not broadcast and created a quality show (non-reality/news) since 1999 when SVU and also the West Wing first showed. How's this possible? During the period of 12 years what you know already that accidentally they'd have the ability to develop some quality programming. It appears like whoever runs NBC is really scared of adhering having a bad show too lengthy they close the lid on on shows the moment they falter, or perhaps in the situation of Law & Order versus. Law & Order: La simply have a situation of terrible decision-making. I simply do not understand the way a company that's so excellent at developing shows for his or her cable network (USA) can't decipher it for his or her flagship. Do you consider that because of the absence of creative programming, NBC could be smart to abandon creative programming altogether and be strictly reality and news-based programming? - ChipMatt Roush: Paradise forbid. Just take a look at NBC's current Monday selection, and let me know anybody warrants per week filled with that. However ... While NBC's worries are very well recorded and often self-caused - especially throughout the Zucker era, and also the network may never live lower that Jay Leno prime-time debacle - this overgeneralization that NBC is not of merit is unfair. A number of NBC's Thursday comedies are justifiably acclaimed, though not mass appeal as with the glory times of Buddies, Seinfeld and can & Sophistication, and until Modern Family arrived, 30 Rock (finally coming back now) was the honours-show darling. There has been numerous noble failures within the last decade, the wonderful Boomtown for example, scattered one of the burdensome poor performers, and presently I'd put Being a parent for the reason that classification among the couple of solid network attempts in the family drama recently. Plus, NBC has a couple of the greater interesting midseason experiments this season - Smash, that is obtaining a huge marketing launch, and Awake (when they don't finish up being too frightened of it) - so rather than condemning the network towards the scrap heap, let us project some careful optimism by using the brand new entertainment boss and also the new corporate proprietors, things may gradually start to change. But it is not apt to be easy or pretty.Question: I had been watching a chapter of methods I Met Your Mother from last season yesterday which involved Robin's "large crush." In the finish from the episode, Narrator Ted stated that her crush would return into play which there is "more about that later." We are about midway in to the year also it does not appear that Robin's crush is returning in the near future. Did the authors ignore this narrative, or did they just choose to use another direction using the show? - LaurenMatt Roush: Oh, you never know? I am so frustrated using the teases about this show. The very best I will tell, from a job interview last summer time, is the fact that Michael Trucco (who performed the crush) wasn't as available because the producers had wished, due to his role on USA Network's Fairly Legal, which might let you know that Robin got saddled using the totally unfunny love interest of Kal Penn this year. Which is not to express the crush will not return sooner or later for an additional payback or punchline, given that they did arrange it. But for the time being, with Robin's career apparently going to remove again and her infertility subplot getting been revealed, she's plenty to help keep her busy.Question: Pretty Little Liars and also the Laying Game came back a week ago from hiatus. Could it be just me, or could they be all of a sudden soapier, as shown by such figures as Hanna's father (and the new bride) in PLL, and Annie "Rebecca" Sewell in TLG "coming back to town" to disrupt the lives of individuals with whom we have become familiar to date. Did these shows get new runners, or are ABC Family's "teen mysteries" turning out to be "teen soaps?" - HalMatt Roush: When were these shows not soaps? Their premises might be built about central mysteries or quests, when you are in no hurry in conclusion individuals central tales - otherwise the show's over - new figures and new complications will always be being introduced. Much like inside a cleaning soap opera.Question: On Not so long ago, what's Snow Whitened completed to the Evil Full on her to visit such measures to punish her? - KMatt Roush: The important thing word here's "evil." Regardless of who's telling the storyline, the queen's murderous ire toward Snow Whitened is about envy, jealousy and irrational spite. Within this version, the curse may be the queen's method of denying her enemy a contented ending. For the time being. Besides, what fun will it be when they really got along?Question: Okay, I believe that the cancellation of Prime Suspect is final and there's no saving this show. However for individuals people who really grew to become thinking about these folks, can there be any chance we will begin to see the final couple of episodes? - KathyMatt Roush: Mark your calendar for Sunday, Jan. 22. NBC will melt away the ultimate two instances of Prime Suspect against Fox's broadcast from the NFC Championship game (leading right into a special The American Idol Show). Not ideal, but much better than not showing them whatsoever, that is what has a tendency to occur to shows with this particular type of rankings.That's all for the time being.
