Bradley Cooper, Viola Davis, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Justin Timberlake To Present At 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards


© 2012 SAG-AFTRA

Bradley Cooper, Viola Davis, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Justin Timberlake and Sigourney Weaver will be presenters at the 19th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, Executive Producer Jeff Margolis announced today.

First-time SAG Awards nominee Bradley Cooper is recognized this year for his lead role in David O. Russell’s “Silver Linings Playbook” and as a cast member in the film. In addition to “Playbook,” Cooper had three other films in release in 2012: “The Words,” “Hit and Run,” and “The Place Beyond the Pines.” In May, he’ll be seen in “The Hangover Part III” and later this year will star opposite his “Playbook” co-star Jennifer Lawrence in the suspense drama “Serena.” He’ll also reunite with Russell to work on the director’s film about the Abscam scandal, also starring Christian Bale.

Viola Davis is a four-time Screen Actors Guild Award® nominee and two-time recipient of the Actor® in 2012 for her lead performance as Aibileen Clark and as a cast member in “The Help.” Davis’ previous nominations were for her supporting and cast performances in “Doubt” opposite Meryl Streep. She was recently seen in “Won’t Back Down” and will next star in the drama “Beautiful Creatures” opposite Emma Thompson.

Anne Hathaway, who just received a Golden Globe for her portrayal of Fantine in “Les Miserables,” earned her first SAG Awards nomination in 2006 as a cast member of Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain” and her first lead female actor nod in 2009 for “Rachel Getting Married.” This year, she’s nominated twice: As supporting female actor in “Les Miserables” and as a member of the film’s cast. In 2012, Hathaway starred opposite Christian Bale in director Christopher Nolan’s third and final installment of his Batman trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises.” Next year, she will give voice once again to Jewel the macaw in the animated sequel “Rio 2.”

Academy Award-nominated and Golden Globe winning actor Hugh Jackman is a two-time SAG Awards nominee this year for his portrayal of Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables” and as a member of the film’s cast. In July, audiences will see him reprise the role of Wolverine in the 6th installment of the “X-Men” franchise, “The Wolverine.” He is currently filming “Prisoners” with Melissa Leo, Jake Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis, directed by Denis Villeneuve.

In 2010, Jennifer Lawrence earned her first SAG Award nomination for her performance in “Winter’s Bone.” The Golden Globe recipient is a double nominee this year, as lead female actor in “Silver Linings Playbook” and as a member of the film’s cast. Lawrence became a household name with her role as Katniss Everdeen in the blockbuster “The Hunger Games” and will reprise the role later this year in “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.” She’ll also reunite with her “Silver Linings” co-star Cooper in “Serena.”

Justin Timberlake earned his first SAG Award nomination in 2011 as a cast member in “The Social Network.”  Last year, he appeared in “Trouble With the Curve,” alongside Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams. Up next is a co-starring role in Joel and Ethan Coen’s film, “Inside Llewyn Davis,” with Carrie Mulligan and Oscar Isaac, and the thriller “Runner, Runner” with Ben Affleck.

Sigourney Weaver is a three-time SAG Awards nominee, most recently for her work in the television miniseries “Political Animals.” She was recently be seen in Amy Heckerling’s “Vamps” with Alicia Silverstone, Mabrouk El Mechri’s “The Cold Light of Day” with Bruce Willis and “Red Lights” with Robert De Niro. In the works is the romance “It Is What It is” opposite Evan Rachel Wood.

LES MISÉRABLES – The Review

Over a year ago, when it was announced that Academy award-winning director Tom Hooper would be bringing the iconic musical LES MISÉRABLES to the big screen – as a musical, diehard fans of the show breathed a collective sigh of skepticism.  When it comes to musicals adapted to film, the general rule of thumb is that you have to trade professional Broadway caliber “no-names” for A-list Hollywood stars  who aren’t trained singers (see RENT, ROCK OF AGES – both hugely successful on stage but bombed as movies because RENT was cast with relative no-names and ROCK OF AGES had the big names that couldn’t sing a note!).

It’s a tricky combination to pull off and I am very happy to say that FINALLY it has been done!

Miraculously, Tom Hooper has put together the exact perfect combination, with staggering credentials. In Hugh Jackman (Valjean), you have a Broadway trained, Tony award-winning, A-list actor that was born to play this role. Also perfectly cast is Russell Crowe (Javert), an A-list, Academy award-winning actor who just so happens to sing in a rock band in his spare time! Then you have Anne Hathaway (Fantine), another A-lister and Hollywood darling who has shown she has an aptitude for musical theater. It just doesn’t get any better than that. Throw in Sascha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter (The Thenardiers), who are also perfectly cast and more than capable, and you have what I consider The Dream Team.

The other near-impossible undertaking was that Hooper declared that for his adaptation, the actors – all of the actors – would be singing live. LIVE! For those not familiar with how movie musicals are normally filmed, the actors pre-record the songs in a recording studio and then lip-sync to the tracks played back when filming. While this allows a sort of vocal perfection, the emotion of the music and lyrics is lost trying to perfectly match the lip-sync. What Hooper has created is raw emotion while the actors are singing because they are singing live and the music stays with them, rather than them having to stay with the music. They are perfectly in the moment.

And even though Jackman, Hathaway, Crowe and the rest of the cast are at different singing-ability levels, the entire movie is sung with no real spoken dialogue. And it works. When Hathaway gut-wrenchingly sings Fantine’s “I Dreamed a Dream” while sobbing and getting her hair chopped off, it’s heartbreaking (and Oscar gold, by the way). Crowe’s Inspector Javert is so angry and menacing that when he sings in that state of anger, you get it. And Jackman’s Valjean is just one huge pile of raw, exposed emotions that you forget he’s singing and concentrate on what he’s emoting so flawlessly.

As a diehard fan of this show, having seen it many times on stage, I think this movie is perfection. It’s sweeping and epic and emotional and I hope it gets all the appreciation and accolades that it deserves. As for movie musicals, this is a game changer. LES MISÉRABLES will be the blueprint for how musicals are filmed from now on. The live singing will make everyone step up their game and the big winners will be audiences.

In theaters on Christmas Day, LES MISÉRABLES should absolutely be experienced on the big screen. So after the presents are opened, and the family meal is over, go to the movies! Go see LES MISÉRABLES

Five out of five stars.
