| Women lift 'American Hustle' at Golden Globe Awards Sunday, Jan 12, 2014 06:48 PM PST  By Mary Milliken BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) - Actresses Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence put 1970s corruption caper "American Hustle" at the front of the pack midway through Sunday's Golden Globes by winning top acting honors in Hollywood's kick-off to the awards season. Adams won best actress in a musical or comedy for her role as the conniving partner to a con-man played by Christian Bale, while Lawrence took best supporting actress for her turn as his loopy wife. The film directed David O. Russell is one of the frontrunners for the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, an important but not entirely accurate barometer for the film industry's highest honors, the Academy Awards to be held on March 2. She starred in Russell's 2010 "The Fighter," while Lawrence won the best actress Oscar last year for his previous film, "Silver Linings Playbook." Jared Leto took the best supporting actor Globe for his role as Rayon, a transsexual with AIDS in the drama "Dallas Buyers Club." Director Spike Jonze won best screenplay for his quirky computer-age comedy "Her." "American Hustle" leads nominees with seven nods along with "12 Years a Slave," the brutal depiction of pre-Civil War slavery. Full Story | Top |
| France's Hollande has tight window to step up reform pace Sunday, Jan 12, 2014 11:40 AM PST  By Mark John and Jean-Baptiste Vey PARIS (Reuters) - The coming weeks will tell whether Francois Hollande can pick up the pieces of his accident-prone presidency and start to pull the euro zone's second-largest economy out of decline. Photos in a celebrity magazine published on Friday purporting to show a nocturnal visit by Hollande to a mistress risk stealing the show on Tuesday when he faces media for up to two hours in the traditional start-of-year news conference. The saga took a new turn on Sunday when it emerged his official partner, 48-year-old ex-journalist Valerie Trierweiler, had been hospitalized hours after the magazine hit newsstands. Yet with polls showing most French are blase about his private life, the real question is whether he will use the media event to show he is ready to tackle the double burden on the French economy: rising taxes and public spending.

| Hollywood kicks off 2014 awards season with Golden Globes Sunday, Jan 12, 2014 05:10 AM PST  By Mary Milliken and Ronald Grover BEVERLY HILLS, California (Reuters) - In a year widely regarded as a bountiful one for high-quality films and acting, the Golden Globes weigh in on Sunday with the first big honors of the Hollywood awards season, which culminates in seven weeks with the Oscars. Two starkly different American stories lead nominations for the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards with seven nods apiece - the brutal depiction of pre-Civil War slavery "12 Years a Slave" and 1970s corruption caper "American Hustle." They will compete for best motion picture in different categories, drama and comedy or musical, respectively. "Gravity," starring Sandra Bullock as an astronaut lost in space and life, also ranks high in experts' predictions and could give "12 Years a Slave" a challenge for the night's most coveted award, best drama. Golden Globes are also given out for television, where established dramas like "Breaking Bad" and "Downton Abbey" will compete with the likes of Netflix newcomer "House of Cards." The Golden Globes, under the purview of some 90 journalists in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, have outsized clout in the awards race as buzz around these first honors influences members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in their voting for the Oscars, which will be handed out March 2.
