Weird, unsettling week, this. Here’s how it went down:
• In the week’s biggest movie news, the Academy threw us all for a loop by announcing a 10-nominee slate for the Best Picture category.
• But even that shock was dwarfed in scale by the stunning news of Michael Jackson’s passing.
• And in a rather bleak week for losing talent, we also said goodbye to Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon.
• On a happier note, we laid eyes on two of our most eagerly awaited films of the year — “Public Enemies” and “Antichrist” — and liked what we saw.
• AMPAS continues its tinkering, this time in the Best Original Song category.
• The “Transformers” sequel opened to critical scorn even accusations of racism, but is the film totally indefensible?
• With “The Hurt Locker” finally going public today, we caught up with the film’s breakout star Jeremy Renner.
• We revealed our age by celebrating the 20th anniversary of Tim Burton’s “Batman.”
• Continuing the reflective mood, this week’s list considered the greatest directorial debuts of the decade.
• Speaking of debuts, “The Proposal” gave Sandra Bullock the biggest of her career.
