The Envelope In Print: Awards Season Preview (Nov. 7)

Nicole Kidman was in an acting malaise, choosing some roles she calls mistakes. Then came "Margot at the Wedding."

Production designer Guy Hendrix Dyas explains how a sculpture laid the groundwork for scene in "Elizabeth: The Golden Age."

Films about contemporary conflicts are failing to draw audience and awards attention.

John Lasseter is creative chief at Pixar and an academy governor. So can he say why animation gets so little Oscar love?

The lanky, blue-eyed Holbrook is back on the big screen in one of the most talked about performances of the award season with his illuminating turn in “Into the Wild.”

The designer threw everything she had into the costumes for "Compass."

To pick Oscar's favorite, focus on films that generate the most passionate support.

Directing a James Bond film can't be harder than capturing "The Kite Runner's" spirit.

The stage actress easily adapts to her screen persona in "Gone Baby Gone."

Scoring an Academy Award doesn't guarantee Hollywood's most coveted roles. Just ask Adrien Brody, Cuba Gooding Jr. and Joe Pesci.
