Glamwire

On January 23rd, 2000, in the small mining and ski town known at Telluride Colorado, at a newspaper that was, and is, in fact, called "The Daily Planet" a creature emerged from an abandoned mine shaft 14,500 feet above sea level, at a spot called Ajax Point. That creature had been born without a human head. Nay, his head was sort of a proscenium, with 18 quaint light bulbs surrounding it, and a colorful western motif miniature mural as its curtain.

Today, Playman claims to be most pleased and delighted about the way that he looks. "Hey....you people have to resort to 'face painting' and all sorts of other crap to get 'lit up'. What's up with that?" After a falling out with Daily Planet editor Bob Beer, at the 2001 Blues and Brews Fest in Telluride, at which it was discovered that Playman could not drink beer, or anything else...because he did not have a mouth.....Playman disappeared, some say back into the old mine shaft up on Ajax Mountain.

Today, here on Glamwire, he will reappear for he first time since September 3rd 2001, the day which marked the publication of his last piece in the Daily Planet, about a Telluride Film Festival film that was by the Coen brothers and was called "O Brother Where Art Thou?" We may not know where our brother Playman is today, physically,...but his agents, Benjamin Williams and Alan Rosenberg, have contacted us from downtown Telluride, specifically from the Wintercrown building on 100 Colorado Avenue, and they tell us we will soon be Telexed, thats right, Telexed, a first column, which we hear will be neither about a play nor a movie. When we get that column we assure it will appear right here, on Glamwire.

The shock: "Dreamgirls" which February's Vogue predicted would win Best Picture, was not nominated for it, but got most noms all together.

Here are the nominees for Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role:

Leonardo DiCaprio in “Blood Diamond."
Ryan Gosling in “Half Nelson.”
Peter O’Toole in “Venus.”
Will Smith in “The Pursuit of Happyness.”
Forest Whitaker in “The Last King of Scotland.”
