We know and love him most as George “Pornstache” Mendez in acclaimed Netflix Series Orange is the new Black, but would you recognize the handsome star of the screen and stage if he walked by you? We almost didn’t!

Vancouver-born Pablo Schreiber makes it back to his land of birth, in Toronto today promoting Michael Bay‘s latest effort 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi. The Drama based on true events is set one year after 9/11, centering on six soldiers who attempt to make sense of the chaos which ensues after a U.S. Ambassador is assasinated in Libya.  James Badge Dale and John Krasinski also are among the talented Cast.

Schreiber was caught in traffic earlier making it just in-time to his KISS 92.5 appearance on The Roz & Mocha Show, surprised he had a dozen fans in-waiting. In a rush, he apologized to fans  as he made his way to his next appearance at CBC on Q.  The Actor, who once had basketball aspirations before changing his major thankfully to Theatre in college, promised fans he’s stop for photos later in the day and he did exactly as promised.

He also surprised fans appearing unannounced at a Toronto screening of the Film last night too, introducing it to fans!

No Toronto. You will not defeat me! #HolyFuckItsCold #ImReallyNotCanadianAnymore

Nominees for the 2016 Academy Awards were announced earlier this morning in Los Angeles. Although there were a few surprises, much of what we have seen thus far this Awards Season, including the Golden Globes this past weekend, has been punctuated.

Leading the way with 12 nominations is The Revenant which thus far this season has swept major awards including the Golden Globes this past weekend in the important Motion Picture Drama, Director and Actor in a Drama categories. Its competitors include Spotlight, The Martian, Bridge of Spies, The Big Short, Room and Brooklyn.  Spotlight, The Revenant and Room all were filmed in Canada, while Brooklyn is a co-Canadian production.

Leonardo DiCaprio, seen widely as the prohibitive choice to take Best Actor for his work in The Revenant, solidified his standing with an expected nomination. Other nominees in the category include a surprising Bryan Cranston, Eddie Redmayne, Michael Fassbender and Matt Damon.

Brie Larson literally has come out of nowhere before Awards Season, to now be a forced to be reckoned with in the Best Actress category for her Room performance. Propelled in its festival circuit run by a People’s Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Room after much debate also secured itself among the year’s best with a nod for Best Picture. Larson is up against Awards Season veteran and two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett who could well join the likes of Meryl Streep to win a third for her fantastic performance in Carol. Also nominated are Jennifer Lawrence, Saoirse Ronan and legendary actress Charlotte Rampling.

The Supporting Actor category saw nominated for the first time since 1977, Sylvester Stallone, who nabbed a long-overdue Golden Globe this past weekend for his work in latest Rocky installment, Creed. An overdue Tom Hardy, previous winner Christian Bale, Mark Rylance and Mark Ruffalo round-out the bunch. Missing noticably is Canadian Child Actor Jacob Tremblay who has received much acclaim for his breakthrough performance in Room.

The Supporting Actress category continues to be a hotly-contested one. While Academy Award winner Kate Winslet won a Golden Globe for her performance in Steve Jobs, she faces stiff competition in Rooney Mara for her acclaimed understated performance in Carol. Also up are Toronto’s own Rachel McAdams, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Alicia Vikander. Kristen Stewart for Clouds of Sils Maria is seen as an omission.

Up for Best Director are Tom McCarthy (Spotlight), George Miller (Mad Max: Fury Road), Lenny Abrahamson (Room), Alejandro Gonzalez-Inaritu (The Revenant) and Adam McKay (The Big Short). The Winner of this category often is seen as a precursor to Best Picture.

The Oscars air on ABC Sunday, February 28, 2016 7 PM EST.

We were actually in New York last spring while it was filming on Wall Street so it’s a bit surreal we are seeing the brand new trailer for Jodie Foster’s star-studded MONEY MONSTER!

Synopsis:
In the taut and tense thriller Money Monster, Lee Gates (George Clooney) is a bombastic TV personality whose popular financial network show has made him the money wiz of Wall Street. But after he hawks a high tech stock that mysteriously crashes, an irate investor (Jack O’Connell) takes Gates, his crew, and his ace producer Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts) hostage live on air. Unfolding in real time, Gates and Fenn must find a way to keep themselves alive while simultaneously uncovering the truth behind a tangle of big money lies.

Chinese New Year takes place on Monday, February 8, 2016 this year and we will be celebrating Year of the Monkey.  Although Chinese New Year takes place on this day, the actual Year of the Monkey itself begins Thursday, February 4, 2016.  Hence when looking at your Chinese Horoscope it is important to know if you were born before February 4th, it might be safer to match yourself with the sign of the previous year.

Those born in the Year of the Monkey are known to be clever, overly-energetic, witty and great at problem solving.  People this year are encouraged to make calculated risks, break free and follow their hearts.

Of the twelve Chinese astrological signs, those born in the Years of the Dragon, Rat and Monkey are said to have the best compatibility with the Monkey itself.  Those born in the Years of the Snake, Tiger, Dog and Boar are said to have a challenging year, lacking compatibility with the Monkey.

I love perusing the Chinese Horoscopes every year and after combing through several, I’ve found one worthy of sharing! Although one of my favourites, Geomancy Hut in Singapore hasn’t been active in recent years, I find this Horoscope quite easy to understand and detailed.

 Click here to read your 2016 Chinese Horoscope from ASTROLOGY CLUB!

Unsure what your sign is? Look below:

Rat 1900 1912 1924 1936 1948 1960 1972 1984 1996 2008 2020

The 73rd annual GOLDEN GLOBE Awards took place tonight at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.  After a strong performance at the Box Office this weekend in North America, partly Canadian-made (Calgary, British Columbia) THE REVENANT would dominate the Awards, winning Motion Picture Drama.  It also received recognition with victories for Director, Motion Picture by Alejandro González Iñárritu and also its star Leonardo DiCaprio taking Actor, Motion Picture Drama.

THE MARTIAN, which had a Premiere at TIFF ’15 this past September in Toronto, also was a big winner tonight. In addition to a win for Motion Picture Comedy (which had many baffled about its categorization), also saw its star Matt Damon win for Actor, Motion Picture Comedy.  The Star soon will be in Toronto to film Downsizing this spring.

MR. ROBOT was awarded two Golden Globes tonight for TV Series Drama and Supporting Actor – TV Series, a well-deserved win for veteran Christian Slater.  

MOZART IN THE JUNGLE likewise would win TV Series Comedy and Star Gael Garcia Bernal, Actor – TV Series Comedy.

Jennifer Lawrence won her third (in the past four years) Golden Globe tonight for Actress, Motion Picture Comedy, for her portrayal of Miracle Mop creator Joy Mangano in JOY.  In the Drama category, Brie Larson would win Actress, Motion Picture Drama for her work in Toronto-made ROOM.

Kate Winslet won her fourth Golden Globe tonight in the Supporting Actress, Motion Picture category for her work in STEVE JOBS.  Film industry icon Sylvester Stallone also would receive a long-overdue Golden Globe for his work in CREED, the latest in the storied Rocky franchise.  The star-studded audience would give him a standing ovation after a career which has spanned over 45 years.

Lady Gaga gave a big shock winning Best Actress in a Limited TV Series or Movie for AMERICAN HORROR STORY: HOTEL.  “I wanted to be an actress before a singer, but music came to me first”, she told the audience, comparing the feeling of winning to being Cher in Moonstruck.

Taraji P. Henson caused quite a stir after winning Actress in a TV Series Drama, EMPIRE.  Her outspoken character Cookie Lyons came out a bit as she was rushed along to finish her acceptance speech quickly.  “I’ve waited 20 years for this – you gonna have to wait”, she replied.  After arriving on-stage, she also told someone to step off the train on her dress.

Receiving the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award was Denzel Washington, who appeared on-stage with his family and despite needing his reading glasses, refused them.

Classic Hollywood looks would prevail on the Red Carpet tonight, with Actresses opting for elegance.  Favourite looks included a custom gold Calvin Klein dress on Brie Larson, Jennifer Lawrence in a hip and back-revealing red Dior piece, Amy Adams in a blood-orange Versace number and Lady Gaga channeling Marilyn Monroe in a black Versace dress also.  Cate Blanchett and Co-Star Rooney Mara delivered a bit more edge with tassels and lace in Givenchy and Alexander McQueen respectively.

As for the gents, Ryan Gosling would reign king in a sharp white Ralph Lauren tuxedo outshining his ultra-famous The Big Short Co-Star Brad Pitt.  Rami Malek, star of Mr. Robot also looked perfect in a Dior suit.
