The 2009 Independent Spirit Awards ended just over a half hour ago, and I have to say it was the BEST, most hilarious awards show i've seen in some time. Steve Coogan did a brilliant job as host - that says A LOT because I can't STAND him as an actor - and the event was filled with the true superstars of independent film.
"The Wrestler" surprised it's critics by taking Best Feature over "Frozen River", while those films two leads, Mickey Rourke and Melissa Leo took home lead actor and actress - both are also nominated for Oscars tomorrow evening.
We'll have complete coverage of the Spirit Awards on our special Awards Wrap Up edition of Subject:CINEMA on Monday evening.
The winners: Supporting male, James Franco "Milk" First screenplay, Dustin Lance Black, "Milk" First feature Charlie Kaufman's "Synecdoche, New York" Supporting female Penelope Cruz, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" John Cassavetes Award, given to the best feature made for less than $500,000, Alex Holdridge's "In Search of a Midnight Kiss" Documentary, James Marsh's "Man on Wire" Female lead, Melissa Leo, "Frozen River" Acura Someone to Watch Award, Lynn Shelton, "My Effortless Brilliance" Piaget Producers Award, Heather Rae, "Frozen River" Lacoste Truer Than Fiction Award, Margaret Brown, "The Order of Myths" Screenplay, Woody Allen, "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" Foreign film, Laurent Cantet's "The Class" Cinematographer, Maryse Alberti, "The Wrestler" Robert Altman Award, given to film's director, casting director and its ensemble cast, "Synecdoche, New York" Male lead, Mickey Rourke, "The Wrestler" Director, Tom McCarthy, "The Visitor" Picture, "The Wrestler," producers Darren Aronofsky, Scott Franklin

We continue our February Sweeps look at TV with our Top 20 TV Couples, in honor of Valentine's Day!

Week, a Valentine's Day review including the annual Bugs Bunny Festival

Well, once again, we fans who had had their hopes for an extreme sports star to show up on season 8 of Dancing With The Stars, with Louie Vito's name dangled in front of us, got screwed...I had to sit through ABC's wretched Sunday night lineup to get the names of the Season 8 participants, only to be crushed again, with what is by far one of the weakest-ever lineup of performers for the show.
The complete lineup for the eighth season of Dancing With the Stars, premiering March 9 on ABC, is as follows:
• Belinda Carlisle, 58, singer
• Stephen "Steve-O" Glover, 34, reality-TV star|
• David Alan Grier, 53, comedian
• Shawn Johnson, 17, Olympic gymnast
• Jewel Kilcher, 34, singer, TV personality
• Lil Kim, 33, rapper
• Gilles Marini, 33, actor
• Ty Murray, 39, former rodeo cowboy
• Nancy O'Dell, 42, entertainment anchor
• Denise Richards, 37, actress
• Lawrence Taylor, 50, retired NFL player
• Chuck Wicks, 29, singer
• Steve Wozniack, 58, technology billionaire
It is interesting in itself that pro dancer and two time DWTS champ Julianne Hough, who a month ago said she was taking time off to tour in support of her album, WILL be back for season 8, dancing with real-life beau Chuck Wicks, while the show boasts it's first ever married couple...but alas, not Star Trek:The Next Generation's Jonathan Frakes and General Hospital's Genie Francis as was oft-rumored, but rodeo rider Ty Murray and his wife, singer Jewel.
And YET ANOTHER DAMN football player is aboard in Lawrence Taylor; that makes four Football players who have done the show, tied with four Olympians for the most number athletic professions. There have also been three boxers, and one basketball player, one race car driver, one sports anchor, and one sports owner...but STILL no extreme sports stars...ratbastards...
As I said on the DWTS message boards last night over at ABC, i'm (pardon the pun...or then again, don't) so EXTREMELY disappointed after this season's Vito-free lineup that i'm seriously thinking about not bothering to cover the show this season on PNR and on Subject:CINEMA. What do you guys think? If you would like to see us continue despite my own personal feelings about the total disrespect for extreme sports fans, then we will. Write to us at subjectcinema@popcornnroses.com and let us know!
This week, we continue our month long look at television with a look at the growth of cable television!
We'll discuss the beginnings of cable TV, how satellite TV got launched, some of the early cable networks, and how it's evolved from the 1950s into the 21st century!

Plus - PNR Networks news, a brand new segment, the Bonehead Of The Week, our picks for season 8 of Dancing With The Stars, and your e-mail
