Sounds like it is a chore to go to the People’s Choice Awards |

Just call it the Late, Late Show. I’m told at least three of last night’s biggest stars at the People’s Choice Awards came close to losing some—if not all—of their airtime because of, well, tardiness. Vince Vaughn made a last-minute James Bond-like entrance to the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. "He arrived via helicopter to the top of a downtown skyscraper," a source reports. "Then it was down an elevator into a waiting limo, and then rushed to the side door entrance and into his seat just minutes before his nomination and win for Favorite Leading Man." Vaughn’s Break-Up ex-girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, barely made it for the start of the show. "She was supposed to be seated for the top of the show because she was part of Queen Latifah’s monologue, and the director wanted to get a shot of Jennifer on camera," a source says. "She was running late, so they had to rush her into the backstage lot of the Shrine and literally run her into her seat." Justin Timberlake, however, wasn’t in a rush to get in his seat: He was in Anaheim, California, rehearsing for a concert. So, the People’s Choice producers had arranged for a live satellite feed so JT could give his acceptance speech for favorite R&B song. Well, Timberlake’s rehearsal went overtime, which meant the producers had to change the order of the awards (while the show was going on in real time) so Timberlake could finish what he was doing and still give his acceptance speech. Which they did. (Nice job, guys.)
Planet Gossip
In case you were wondering why I did not blog about the People’s Choice Awards it is because the show is fixed. The fact that they did all that for Justin Timberlake just proves it. But then again I should be happy with fixed awards this year because Two and a Half Men finally won the award they deserved….best comedy!

The Critics Choice Awards Nominees are… |

Leonardo DiCaprio will face off against Leonardo DiCaprio at the 12th annual Critics Choice Awards, which will be handed out January 12. The hard-working DiCaprio has received best actor nominations for his work as a smuggler in "Blood Diamond" and an undercover cop in "The Departed" from the Broadcast Film Critics Assn., which will announce its year-end film nominations Tuesday. DiCaprio’s competition includes Ryan Gosling for "Half Nelson," Peter O’Toole for "Venus," Will Smith for "The Pursuit of Happyness" and Forest Whitaker for "The Last King of Scotland." Representing 200 television, radio and online critics, the BFCA bills itself as the largest film critics’ organization in the U.S. and Canada, and given its broad base, its choices often foreshadow the Oscar nominations of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. That bodes well for "Departed," "Babel," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "Dreamgirls," which received seven nominations each Monday. However, DiCaprio’s double-header — the first such dual nomination in the awards’ history — is impossible under the Academy’s rules, which allow a performer to be represented by only one performance per acting category. The 10 films nominated by the broadcast critics for best picture are "Babel," "Diamond," "Departed," "Dreamgirls," "Iwo Jima," "Little Children," "Sunshine," "Notes on a Scandal," "The Queen" and "United 93." Narrowing the field to choose five helmsmen to nominate as best director, the group focused on Bill Condon for "Dreamgirls," Clint Eastwood for "Letters From Iwo Jima," Stephen Frears for "Queen," Paul Greengrass for "United 93" and Martin Scorsese for "Departed." The best actress lineup includes Penelope Cruz for "Volver," Judi Dench for "Scandal," Helen Mirren for "Queen," Meryl Streep for "The Devil Wears Prada" and Kate Winslet for "Little Children." Best supporting actor nominees are Ben Affleck for "Hollywoodland," Alan Arkin for "Sunshine," Adam Beach for "Flags of Our Fathers," Djimon Hounsou for "Diamond," Eddie Murphy for "Dreamgirls" and Jack Nicholson for "Departed." Best supporting actress nominees include two from "Babel": Adriana Barraza, who plays a Mexican nanny, and Rinko Kikuchi, who plays a Japanese girl who is deaf and mute. The rest of the field encompasses Cate Blanchett for "Scandal," Jennifer Hudson for "Dreamgirls," Catherine O’Hara for "For Your Consideration" and Emma Thompson for "Stranger Than Fiction." Nominated for best acting ensemble are "Babel," "Bobby," "Departed," "Dreamgirls," "Sunshine" and "A Prairie Home Companion." The awards will be handed out during a ceremony at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium, and E! Entertainment Television will broadcast highlights on January 20.
