Why I Love . . . Zach Galifianakis
I really liked The Hangover, and the main reason for this is Zach Galifianakis, who consistently steals the show with his deadpan performance as Alan, a bizarre and sometimes slightly disturbing young man who joins his soon-to-be brother-in-law and two other guys in Las Vegas for a bachelor party weekend. What I know of Galifianakis is mostly based on his performance in The Hangover and his online videos (I especially like his music videos and his interview series Between Two Ferns). I've never seen him live, though I hear he's even more hilarious to watch in person.
Why I Love . . . Adam Scott
It's not that surprising anymore to wake up to the news that actor Adam Scott has another job. For years, he was one of my favorite "that guy"s in Hollywood, playing a brief love interest of David Fisher's on Six Feet Under (remember "happy holidays from the Fisher-Coopers"?) and popping up in small roles everywhere from Veronica Mars to Knocked Up to Art School Confidential.
But with today's news that Scott's been cast in HBO's The Wonderful Maladys as Sarah Michelle Gellar's character's ex, I figured it was time to take a broader look at why I'm loving Scott so much these days.
Why I Love. . . Privileged
The CW's funny little new Fall show Privileged is back tonight with a new episode (that guest stars Lauren Conrad as herself). But will anyone be watching?
So far, at least, the answer seems to be no: The show's dropped viewers nearly every week since its premiere, with just 1.9 million people tuning into last week's episode.
Why I Love. . . Sarah Haskins
I love Sarah Haskins. I mean, I really love Sarah Haskins. She is my hero of the hour.
Why I Love . . . Gary Oldman
The Dark Knight hype machine continues to be gigantic. But as big as it is, it can't promote all the greatness: Between the rave critical reviews the movie's getting, the box office success, and Heath Ledger's performance that established his Joker as one of the classic cinema villains of all time, a lot of other pieces that made the movie so great have been lost in the shuffle.
Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent, for one thing, was really brilliant and overlooked — and I keep forgetting that Gary Oldman is in the movie!
Why I Love . . . Greek
I've already admitted Greek is a guilty pleasure of mine, and many of you also came out and admitted that you too love this show. That got me thinking: What is it about this ABC Family series that is so addicting?
After all, Greek has some cheesy and predictable plot lines, is asking me to care about beautiful young people whose biggest concerns include smuggling beer into parties, and concludes most episodes with some tidy lessons about friendship, life, and college.
Why I Love, Oscar Edition: Sarah Polley
Even the dark strike cloud hovering over Hollywood can't dampen the annual awards season excitement about certain projects and actors (Juno! Daniel Day-Lewis! Atonement!).
Why I Love ... Connie Britton
Recently I was hanging out on the Hollywood Reporter's Emmy Awards clip site when I came across one of my favorite scenes from "Friday Night Lights." In it, Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler) has enlisted his wife, Tami (Connie Britton), to throw a last-minute party for his entire team and their families, and not surprisingly, she's none too pleased. She's under a table, cleaning up someone's mess, when Coach asks her to come up and help him host.
Why I Love ... Felicity Huffman
Felicity Huffman never ceases to amaze me. In a show as over-the-top silly as "Desperate Housewives," Huffman often brings an unexpected sophistication and seriousness. In Transamerica she gave an astounding, unparalleled performance as a man preparing for the final operation that will make him into a woman.
Why I Love ... Marcia Gay Harden
You may have seen Marcia Gay Harden in many films without knowing her name. Or, if you're like me, you've been an admirer ever since her stunning Oscar-winning role in Pollock. Whatever the case, it's high time to give this lady some props.
