Lysistrata Jones: Theater Review
Getty ImagesMichelle Williams, left, and Tilda Swinton With the Screen Actors Guild Awards announced Wednesday and airing Jan. 29, this makes the SAGs the group and show with the longest nominations out in the press. And how does this shake up the red carpet picture? Well, for one thing, there are going to be a lot of Bridesmaids who need dresses! And Kristin Wiig and Melissa McCarthy have now moved up to A-list status, so they will be getting some major dresses offered and made for them.our editor recommendsSAG Awards TV: 'Modern Family' Leads Nominations, 'Homeland' SnubbedSAG Awards: 'Suits' Star Patrick Adams Reacts to Shocking Nomination, Talks 'Friday Night Lights' ExperienceSAG Awards: Jon Cryer on His First Nomination: 'I Had No Reason Whatsoever to Expect I Would Be Included'SAG Awards Nominations: The Complete ListSAG Awards Nominations: The Nominees' ReactionsSAG Awards: The Nominees The ladies of The Help will also have their pick of the designer litter -- not that Emma Stone hasn't had first dibs on dresses from next season from Europe, but now Viola Davis, Jessica Chastain and Octavia Spencer will be joining her in that "we'd LOVE to make you a dress or three" category. Though Davis, Spencer and Chastain are not your average actress size 2's, they won't be hurting for major designer offers. Chastain was recently seen wearing Viktor & Rolf spring 2012 and Louis Vuitton spring 2012 -- both looks that are very hard to procure. This could be the year of the Large Sexy Gown: Both Spencer and McCarthy are glamazons who love to dress up and plenty of designers will be on board to help them in their quests. COMPLETE LIST: 2012 SAG Awards TV and Film Nominees Glenn Close is an Armani loyalist, and Meryl Streep tends to wear very simple things, so not much curiousity there. Tilda Swinton and Michelle Williams will be the fashion gets for designers at the SAGs -- both nominated for best actress, and both with definitively chic and quasi surprising styles. Will Williams wear Chanel couture (which shows before the SAGs air in Paris in January)? She is one of the few whom the house would consider. Will Swinton have her Euro designer friends Haider Ackermann or Raf Simmons (now at Jil Sander, said to be jumping ship to Dior) or Viktor & Rolf make her an avant-garde gorgeous gown or tux -- or will she got with lower-key Prada, which she also wears? PHOTOS: SAG Awards Nominees And in the supporting category, we can be sure that Berenice Bejo from The Artist, nominated for best supporting actress, will get some fashion love -- though somehow we doubt she'll be wearing any of the 1920s looks from the spring collections of Gucci or Marc Jacobs. But it would be wild if she did! Somehow we expect she will go with what is chic and French, representing her country. When it comes to the SAG TV noms, Kate Winslet, Juliana Margulies, Tina Fey, Julie Bowen and Sofia Vergara will all have many designer options -- with Winslet getting the most, of course. But Margulies always looks amazing at any awards show. STORY:'The Help' Leads Screen Actors Guild Awards Nominations Kelly McDonald and Aleksa Palladino of Boardwalk Empire will also get good looks -- if they hire good stylists. That's key here. Because after the Critics Choice Awards and the Globes (both early and mid-January), it takes a savvy stylist to get designers to part with the really great dresses they might be holding back for the Oscars. And only Williams or Swinton could score couture for the SAGs -- maybe. We're sad Kirsten Dunst isn't going, but there are more nominations to be had.

An Ambiguous "Error" Hits The X Factor
We're down to the final five, and tonight the contestants will be singing two songs each, and the first has to be a dance number. Host Steve Jones foreshadows a twist later in the episode. The Jackson kids were here last week, which means that it has to be Madonna's daughter Lourdes this week, right? Get excited! To start off the evening, Melanie takes on a dance remix of Adele's "Someone Like You," which makes me wonder... is this the first time we're hearing her do Adele? Because it kind of seems like a no-brainer artist for her. Melanie's voice is flawless per usual, but the back-up dancers robots and pyrotechnics proved to be a bit distracting. "You looked and sounded like the rock star diva that you are tonight," says Nicole. Next up, Marcus Canty does Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody (Love Me Better)," and for the second time this evening, the judges are spot-on with the song choice. While we all know he doesn't have the strongest voice in the competition, Marcus is really coming into his own when it comes to performance-quality. He's arguably the most exciting one to watch on stage in the competition. "I have to say that was a very, very good performance. You came back strong," says Simon. Rachel Crowe sings B.O.B.'s "Nothin' on You," and while I think Simon had the right idea with choosing something youthful, it wasn't the best we've seen from her. Paula says, "You are just beautifully fearless. Your vocal depth transcends all generations. You nailed it, and I'm so proud of you." Next we have Josh Krajcik. It will be interesting to see how he handles this genre, since there's no question he's couldn't be further from a dance music performer. In an unusual and unexpected move, he sings Rihanna! And (in my opinion) it's awesome! I didn't think Nicole had it in her. The song, "We Found Love," is not only current and relevant, but it gave Josh an opportunity to showcase his voice in a different way than we've ever seen. Apparently, I watched a different performance than the judges. "I could never really see you doing this song. So I didn't buy it," says LA. You were great as a singer, but I didn't buy that song." Simon agrees, and slams Nicole's song choice. Rounding out the top five, Chris Rene takes on another Rihanna hit (this one, her collaboration with T.I. "Live Your Life") but it was shaky and unimpressive. He does the half-singing/half-rapping thing he always does, while gliding across the stage in what appeared to be a mini-treadmill. The only word I can think of to describe the performance is "un-special." But the judges didn't seem to mind it. They're playing nice today for the most part. "I'm not gonna say you're the best singer because you're not," says Simon. "But as an overall potential recording artist... I think you are doing brilliant." We're at the halfway point when Steve reveals the twist! "There was an error in communication with the song selections here on the show, so we've had to move the Pepsi Challenge songs to next week." (The singers were supposed to be performing songs selected by the viewers tonight). The audience lets out a unanimous gasp. Then they boo. The horror! Instead, the contestants will sing a song that they've chosen - but they've only had one night to prepare because everyone just found out last night. Which is to say that someone in production realllllly screwed up, and now they've been fired. Steve warns that since they haven't had much time to prepare, the pressure right now is incredible. (And by that he means, "They're going to be tragic, so bear with us.") After that fantastic build-up, I can't wait for the next five performances! What about you? We're starting out with Melanie again, and luckily she chose a song ("When You Believe") that suits her quite well. She really can do no wrong when it comes to a Mariah Carey/Whitney Houston number. Melanie looks stunning, the background shenanigans are minimal, and overall it was a top-notch performance for her. "You really thought of that last night and it was that good?" says LA. "That was unbelievable." Marcus sings "A Song for You," which is definitely a departure for him. It's a soulful performance - not at all what we would expect from the guy who has become notorious for gyrating back-up dancers and doing flips on stage. It wasn't the best vocally, but it was far better than I thought he was capable of. "Thank you for reminding us all why we fell in love with you from the start," says Nicole. "You remind me of a young Al Green. That was beautiful." Rachel's choice, "Music and Me," by Michael Jackson, couldn't have been more off-target for her. It felt old, boring, and quite frankly, it put me to sleep. There's really not much else to say about it. "I love that you picked that song for yourself," says LA. "Your vision for you is so inspiring." Which basically means he didn't have the heart to tell her how terrible it was. Josh Krajcik, on the other hand, does an awesome rendition of "Something" by The Beatles. Clearly as an older contestant, he has a better understanding of himself as an artist. It still wasn't my favorite performance of his, but it was an undeniably good song choice. "Compared to the first song I think this was a massive improvement," Simon tells him. "I think when you watch it back you looked actually insane halfway through it. Like your eyes were rolling." Co-sign. The last performer of the evening is Chris Rene, who has opted to sing an original song tonight. Can you say RISKY? It's probably just the guitar, but does he look hot tonight or what? Much to my surprise, I really like the performance. No, actually - I love it. The song has a catchy Jason Mraz-like quality to it, and it reminds us that there's more to him than the half-rapper/half-singer dude. "The world works in mysterious ways, Chris. Had that glitch not happened, you wouldn't have been singing this song," says Paula. "This is what I've been waiting for. God bless you." Simon calls the song a stroke of genius. This performance might have just single-handedly saved him from elimination tomorrow. What a confusing night this was! What did you think? Was Chris's original song the standout of the evening? Who is going home tomorrow? Weigh in below! show less

Drummer Tommy Lee added that, "I believe increasing numbers of people would like an event, and that we're attempting to bring that into this where people aren't always in the show, they're Within the show. We're really attempting to design something here that, whenever you leave there, you're putting on the show. You're taking areas of it along with you. It's you ...

The Crue, whose last album was 2008's "Saints of La,Inch doesn't intend to include any completely new music within the shows, but Lee predicted you will see some versatility within the set list from evening to evening. "I'd imagine our plans are most likely to change up,Inch he stated.

Then Reeves asked for Spaihts if he'd another project that could suit him. Spaihts pitched him an idea he'd for just about any sci-fi film noir that plainly featured the feel of the man stranded alone in space.After hashing inside the idea for six days, Reeves made a decision it absolutely was too bleak for him, but he loved the idea of the stranded spaceman.

Sundance Film Festival Announces Out-of-Competition Films
Matt Carr/Getty ImagesJoe Swanberg The Sundance Film Festival announced Thursday the programs for four of its 2012 out-of-competition categories: Spotlight, Park City at Midnight, NEXT <=> and New Frontier. Typically the home of more experimental fare, these sections will feature work from prolific returning low-budget filmmakers such as Lynn Shelton, Katie Aselton and Joe Swanberg.our editor recommendsSundance Film Festival Unveils 2012 Competition LineupPlacebo To Rock Sundance London Opening Night Shelton's new film Your Sister's Sister, which IFC Films picked up out of Toronto this fall, will play in Sundance's Spotlight program. The filmmaker's Humpday had its premiere in competition at the 2009 fest. Aselton's new thrillerBlack Rock, which also starsLake BellandKate Bosworth, will have its first showing in the Park City at Midnight program. The actor-writer-director laststarred in and directed The Freebie, which had its premiere in the NEXT <=> section in 2010. Swanberg, whose Uncle Kent screened in the Spotlight section in 2011, is part of the ensemble acting-directing found-footage horror film V/H/S that is also playing in Park City at Midnight. PHOTOS: Actors and Filmmakers of Sundance 2011 The Midnight section, consisting of seven world premieres that often play up the scary and the silly, also includes Nicholas McCarthy's The Pact, Richard Bates, Jr.'s Excision(featuring Traci Lords and John Waters!) and Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim's Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie, a nutty comedy in which Will Ferrell, John C Reilly and Zach Galifianakis also appear. Comedians of the Funny or Die generation, Heidecker and Wareheim will also appear in the U.S. narrative competition entry The Comedy from Rick Alverson. "They bring their sensibility to this social critique of what our culture is all about right now," director of programming Trevor Groth says of The Comedy. "Between those two films, I think they're going to create quite a stir at Sundance. Which I'm all for." The 28th annual Sundance festival runs January 19-29 with screenings and events in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. The full 2012 program features 110 feature-length films from 31 countries, including 88 world premieres. The official competition program was announced Wednesday; the remaining out-of-competition sections, Premieres and Documentary Premieres, will be unveiled Dec. 5. The NEXT <=> program features nine world premieres that often veer from traditional storytelling techniques.Craig Zobel's Compliance, David Zellner's Kid-Thing, Laurence Thrush's Pursuit of Loneliness and Aurora Guerrero's Mosquita y Mari are among the titles that will screen."Each year it's taken on its own shape and life, partly by design and partly by the films that we get submitted to us," says Groth, who launched the section three years ago. "It's not just a discovery of people that we don't know, it's really about fresh ways of telling stories and supporting those visions in the festival." PHOTOS: Behind the Scenes at the Sundance Film Festival As with Shelton's film, movies featured in the Spotlight section often have already played in other festivals. Gareth Evans's action film The Raid had a great showing at Toronto, and Valérie Donzelli's drama Declaration Of War had its world premiere at Cannes, as did Nadine Labaki's drama Where Do We Go Now? The New Frontier section, which was moved to the Miners Hospital last year, will now play out in a newly built venue, a big warehouse on Kearns Blvd. between the Yarrow Hotel and the Park City Marriott. Festival director John Cooper says that the new loft-like location, which was constructed in consultation with Sundance, is better suited to some of the multimedia performances and installations, panels and screenings that make up the more experimental category. The venue also has gallery and lounge space. Included in the New Frontier program are Denis Côté's Bestiaire, which explores the relationship between nature and humanity; Rodney Ascher's Room 237, which looks at the meaning of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining; and Eve Sussman | Rufus Corporation's whiteonwhite:algorithmicnoir, which involves a live algorithmic performance of music, dialogue, sound and footage shot in Kazakhstan. Despite the fringe elements of some of these out-of-competition films, they often find audiences outside the festival. From the 2011 NEXT <=> program, Evan Glodell's Bellflower got a release through Oscilloscope, Joshua Leonard's The Lie was picked up by Screen Media Films and Zal Batmanglij and Brit Marling's Sound of My Voice was acquired by Fox Searchlight, though it has not yet been released. The 2011 Spotlight section featured two nominees for the best foreign-language film Oscar that year, Denis Villeneuve's Incendies and Susanne Bier's In a Better World, which won the award. Below is the full line-up: SPOTLIGHT Corpo Celeste/ Italy (Director and screenwriter: Alice Rohrwacher) - After moving back to southern Italy with her mother and older sister, 13-year-old Marta struggles to find her place, restlessly testing the boundaries of an unfamiliar city and the catechism of the Catholic church.
