Canadian Actors Shut Out at Critics’ Choice Awards

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 8th, 2008

Despite being nominated twice in the same category, Michael Cera – along with his Canadian counterparts – lost at the 13th Annual Critics’ Choice Awards last night.

Cera was nominated in the Best Young Actor category for both his roles in “Superbad” and “Juno.” But it was Ahmad Khan Mahmoodzada (The Kite Runner) who picked up that trophy.

The Broadcast Film Critics Association also chose Julie Christie’s performance in “Away From Her” over Ellen Page’s “Juno.” That’s good news for fellow Canadian Sarah Polley, however, as she directed and adapted the screenplay for “Away From Her.”

Page and Cera didn’t go home completely unhappy, however. “Juno” was named Best Comedy Movie and screenwriter Diablo Cody won in the Best Writer category for the script – her first ever. The hip soundtrack to the film is out in stores today.

Ryan Gosling also lost the Best Actor award to Daniel Day-Lewis.

Ryan Gosling and his ‘Real Girl’

Posted by andPOP Staff on September 27th, 2007

He may not have won the statuette at this year’s Oscars, but Ryan Gosling is getting lots of face time with a blowup doll.

Gosling’s newest film, Lars and the Real Girl, follows his character as he introduces his family and friends to his internet friend: a doll named Bianca who he treats as if she is alive.

Gosling told MTV News in a recent chat that though the concept may sound creepy, the film is sweet and endearing.

“The script did an amazing job of walking that line. I mean, you don’t want it to be funny [and] you don’t want it to be too serious. [Lars is] quite an innocent in a way. He has all this romantic love to give ? it’s not dissimilar from a kid and his teddy bear, the idea that kids love their teddy bear and they experience very important moments in their life with them when they’re young. It’s a very complicated relationship.”

As for his leading lady, Gosling has nothing but kind words.

“Bianca, she has a real calming presence. It was pretty interesting, actually ? in the film people find themselves gravitating towards her, and a lot of people think that’s conceptually a funny idea, but it’s actually quite true. All of the crew, you’d see them off talking to her in the corner. The focus puller [the member of a film crew responsible for keeping the camera's focus], he’d apologize if he got too close to her eye. She had handlers that gave her magazines in between takes. They call it a blowup doll in some of the advertisements, but it’s very different. I mean, Bianca had these beautiful little freckles on her face! They have this real sort of presence.”

Lars and the Real Girl will be released October 12.
