I have not read this yet, but in tracking several other website owners through my Twitter account the 126-page transcript from the original story conference for the first Indiana Jones adventure, Raiders of the Lost Ark, between George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan in January 1978 is apparently quite interesting. Peter at SlashFilm was the first with the…

This morning Gerard Butler, Woody Harrelson, Rashida Jones and Sofia Vergara announced the 2012 Golden Globe Award nominations. The nominations were announced in two waves, the first was at approximately 5:15 AM PST and to my personal surprise Madonna‘s W.E. scored two nominations, one for Abel Korzeniowski‘s score and another for the song “Masterpiece” which plays during the film’s credits.
