I saw this film as a screener before Christmas. I was excited to see it again in the Best Picture Showcase to refresh my memory.
Based on the play, this film follows David Frost (Michael Sheen) during his infamous interviews with President Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) following his resign from the presidency.

Audit The Fed
A Commentary By Howard Rich
I’ll be the first to admit that the notion of Washington politicians auditing the Federal Reserve initially struck me as a little bit kooky – and more than a little bit backward.
Shouldn’t the financial geniuses be auditing the politicians, not the other way around?
In fact, one of the reasons that the Fed has been given such wide latitude throughout its history is the widely-held belief that our nation’s monetary policy should be conducted free from political “interference.”
And so the Fed has existed as “an independent entity within the Federal government" for decades.

This just might be the best news we Arrested fans have heard in a very long time.
Jason Bateman has just confirmed to me that the creative minds behind Arrested Development (Mitch Hurwitz and Ron Howard) have put the wheels in motion toward a major motion picture of the Fox TV comedy so many of us adore. I'm told by insiders that Jason and other Bluth family members have received calls from producers (Hurwitz and Howard) asking if they would be willing to shoot a movie.

I love this category- especially when someone unexpected and deserving wins it (see Roman Polanski for The Pianist). This year is a little unusual and, I think, a little predictable as the category is identical to Best Picture:
Danny Boyle for Slumdog Millionaire
Stephen Daldry for The Reader
David Fincher for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Ron Howard for Frost/Nixon
Gus Van Sant for Milk
Prediction:
Danny Boyle. He has a wonderful vision and of these nominees he deserves it the most.

Angels and Demons is the story of Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon, who works to solve a murder and prevent a terrorist act against the Vatican. The Dan Brown novel was adapted into a screenplay by writer Akiva Goldsman, who lost momentum because of the Hollywood writers strike. Production was postponed and the planned December 2008 release had to be pushed out.
