Leaving on a jet plane...
I'm on a plane for the next 8 or 9 hours, so that's probably all the updating until this evening (unless, like I said, that on-board ethernet is up and running on Virgin). The DGA announcement should land in three hours or so. Here's hoping I'm in for a happy surprise when I land. Have at it here if you want to talk the nominations at all.
Red Carpet District is Variety contributor Kristopher Tapley's attempt at making sense of the ever-expanding glut of film awards coverage. He's been on the beat for six years. Email
