Over the weekend you heard Anne and I discuss Matt Damon’s Oscar prospects this year for his two films, Clint Eastwood’s “Invictus” (where he’ll be looking to land a supporting actor nomination) and Steven Soderbergh’s “The Informant!” (lead). Anne isn’t in the minority when she says the latter has faded somewhat from the canvas and […]

The obsession is, of course, owed in no small part to Jeremy Piven’s Emmy-winning portrayal of super agent […]
