Today's Blind Items

Most of the time an Academy Award nominee tells a really funny story about being awakened at 530am by their agent or manager telling them the good news that they have been nominated. This year, one of the nominees for best actor/best actress found out while they were still in the middle of an all night bender with someone who is not their significant other. After a night of epic partying, this actor/actress was actually in the middle of having sex with a stranger they picked up earlier in the night when their phone began blowing up with the news. This one will shock you with who it is.

  2. My first thought was George Clooney as well.

  3. But if Enty is saying it would shock us, I really don't think it would be Clooney.

    ReplyDelete
  4. That wild woman Glenn Close! Would you REALLY be shocked if it was Clooney?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Kate Winslet. Was she nominated?

    It would really shock me if this was Viola Davis, but I think it's Oldman or Pitt.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Rooney Mara or Demian Bichir? Heehee. Dunno actually.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Hoping it's not the kid from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close :)

    ReplyDelete
  9. Gary Oldman or Michelle Williams.

    Maybe with each other.

  10. I love Gary Oldman on the screen but I know nothing about his personal life so I don't know if it would be shocking or not. Brad Pitt would be shocking because this would run against his public image and he is not considered the wild member of Team Brangelina.

    ReplyDelete
  11. It's not a secret that neither Brad or Angie are monogamous ..
    But who this is clueless...

    ReplyDelete
  12. Given there are only 10 people to choose from, we should get this one easy!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I'm going with Glenn or Meryl! None of the guys would shock me.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Is Kate Winslet nominated again? That would shock me.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Hmmm.... Clooney DEF not shocking. I love Demian but I don't think enough people know him to be shocked by what he does or doesn't do. Pitt would be shocking. Oldman is kind of a wierd guy so I'm not sure it would be that shocking. And I don't know enough about the Artist guy to be shocked... so I'm thinking of all the guys, it could only be Mr. Jolie.

    Of the gals.... only Viola Davis or Meryl Streep would be truly shocking. Maybe Glenn Close would be kind of shocking. Rooney and Michelle- this would not shock me. I know lots of people might be shocked by Michelle bc of all the stuff she has said about her reasons for the split w Heath being drug related but.... I think she will say anything to better position herself for roles/awards/etc, and it is just spin not necessarily the truth. Not to take anything away from her as a single mom but still it's hard to know what's real when it comes to her.

    Melissa Mccarthy and george clooney

  17. It can't be Gary Oldman. He was making my bed shake that night.

    Oh wait, that was just a dream. Damn.

    ReplyDelete
  18. The only true shockers for me would be Meryl or Viola.

    ReplyDelete
  19. What about Bérénice Bejo? That would be shocking, since her husband directed the movie she was nominated for.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ok, so for the guys: Demián Bichir, George Clooney, Jean Dujardin, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt

    Neither Clooney, Oldman or Pitt would shock me. I don't know that many people know enough about Bichir or Dujardin to be shocked or not.

    The girls: Glenn Close, Viola Davis, Rooney Mara, Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams

    Mara and Williams would not shock me in the least.

    So its gotta be Close, Davis or Streep in my eyes. For some reason my gut says Close.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Actor in a Leading Role:
    Demián Bichir-never heard of him George Clooney-not shocking
    Jean Dujardin-never hear of him Gary Oldman-not shocking
    Brad Pitt-not shocking
    Actress in a Leading Role:
    Glenn Close-pretty shocking, but not considering her roles
    Viola Davis-never heard of her
    Rooney Mara-not all that shocking and does she even have a significant other?
    Meryl Streep-TOTALLY SHOCKING!!Michelle Williams-Totally shocking considering the prim and proper package she delivers, but again-no significant other

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Bnl - the blind doesn't specify it's lead actor/actress - it could be supporting.

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Cathy-it does say BestActor/Best Actress...would that assume lead? Not quite sure.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Definitely Max von Sydow, with the "someone" being Death.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'd think that leaves it open to Best Lead Actor/Actress or Best Supporting Actor/Actress.

    ReplyDelete
  26. It's best actor/actress...not supporting.

    Why would anyone be shocked if it were Clooney? I don't understand, he's not married and only just started dating his new beard. I'm sure he sleep with lots of guys and Stacey is well aware. Brad Pitt wouldn't even be a shock. I'm sure he's sleeping with lots of other women behind Angie's back.

    Meryl Streep or Glenn Close...now that would be a shock to me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Michelle doesn't have a significant other does she? That leaves her out.
    I'd say Brad would be most shocking. Or Meryl.

    ReplyDelete
  28. OK...now I know who Viola Davis is-she attended Julliard and called it a "hot mess." She is classically trained and has done a lot of Broadway. She also said that she and her husband spent the weekend at George Clooney's Lake Como estate. They just adopted a little girl last year. I hope it's not her. But it would be shocking.

    ReplyDelete
  29. If it includes the supportiing category, it is too hard and I am too lazy, so I give up! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Why are you so sure, Crila? The blind makes no reference to them being nominated for a leading role.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I'm thinking we could rule out people who are married since Enty says "significant other." I might be wrong about that, but it is my assumption. Assuming it's only best & not supporting we have:

    Demián Bichir - married
    George Clooney - no one would be shocked
    Jean Dujardin married
    Gary Oldman - married. If Enty is including marrieds, I wouldn't think he'd be a shock since he's on his fourth marriage
    Brad Pitt - could be shocking

    Glenn Close - married
    Viola Davis - married
    Rooney Mara - not married, don't know if it would be a shock though with rumors about her hooking up on the Dragon set
    Meryl Streep - married
    Michelle Williams - no significant other that I've heard about.

    I guess it could be supporting though:

    Kenneth Branagh - married
    Jonah Hill - not married but has a girlfriend
    Nick Nolte - not married. Not sure about a significant other
    Christopher Plummer - married
    Max von Sydow - married

    Berenice Bejo - as someone else said, married to her director
    Jessica Chastain - not married, not sure about significant other
    Melissa McCarthy - married
    Janet McTeer - didn't find anything about being married
    Octavia Spencer - didn't find anything about being married

    The unmarried ones I think we could exclude because they're either unattached at present or it wouldn't be a big scandal if they cheated. Of the marrieds, I would say Brad, Glenn, Meryl, Melissa, Berenice, & Christopher.

    Wow, that was a lot more interesting than working today.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I doubt it includes the supporting category. Best Actor/Actress means Best Actor or Actress. Not second banana. In Hollywood its a huge difference and Enty being in the fish bowl I would assume has to know that. If it were to include all 4 categories I think it would have specified. Enty always specifies if it includes the supporting category as well.

    ReplyDelete
  33. If I'm going to be shocked, it pretty much has to be Meryl Streep! :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I think what would shock us is the age of the person, as in old age. So let's look at the seniors here for best and supporting, there's quite a few as it happens. And remember Significant Other can also be a spouse...I'd hope they'd be significant.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Maybe I'm wrong - I thought I heard rumors a few years ago that Meryl Streep regularly had affairs with costars with her husband just ignoring it.

    ReplyDelete
  36. No there's been talk about Meryl having "romances".

    ReplyDelete
  37. Glenn Close, Meryl Streep, or Brad Pitt. Yes, I know - but I'd still be shocked to find he's stepping out on Angelina.

    What I'd find shocking is that Glenn or Meryl were on "an all night bender" and had a night of "epic partying" - not necessarily that they were stepping out. They seem like such LADIES.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Rooney Mara is with the funny McDowell kid (Charlie who does the dear girls above me blog)

    I hope it's her and he's freed up for someone cooler

    ReplyDelete
  39. it's not Dujardin or Bejo because they were in France when they learnt their nods, it was 3:00 PM and there was some french tv with them

  41. Since there are rumors Rooney has slept with both Daniel Craig and David Fincher, I doubt Enty would think she would be shocking. I think Meryl or Brad.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Better yet, Meryl and Brad. Maybe they hadn't met, so they could count as "strangers?" ;)

    ReplyDelete
  43. I would be shocked if it's Brad; I think most of us thing Angelina would kill him if he cheated.

  45. I say Meryl now that would be shocking.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Mooshki - at first when I read your post, I read it as " there are rumors CLOONEY has slept with both Daniel Craig and David Fincher." That makes me giggle.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I wonder if whenever Max Von Sydow has sex he screams out "The power of Christ compells you." over and over.

    ReplyDelete
  48. He uses it as a pickup line.

    "The power of Christ compells you....to give me a hummer!"

    ReplyDelete
  49. Vicki, you crack me up!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I agree it could be Cloose, Streep, or Pitt but I also think Williams should still be in the running. She does have a kid after all so it would be kind of surprising that she's out having a raging bender and leaving her kid alone/with someone else ALL night. Plus hasn't there been talk she's seeing someone recently but keeping it on the down low? If she isn't seeing someone though then it can't be her since there is no S.O.

    Viola davis,.glen close.and brad in a,three.way

    ReplyDelete
  52. It's probably Brad. Enty says spouse/wife/husband in blinds about married folks.

    ReplyDelete
  53. It's not best supporting actor/actress, It's best actor/actress. I'm am sure that's what Enty meant, because I just am and because that's what the BV says.

    Brad wouldn't shock me at all. There have been rumors about him sleeping with his nanny. I honestly don't think that would be shocking at all.

    Now...Meryl...that would shock me to death. McCarthy...hasn't been around long enough to shock me enough. Really it would just be Meryl or Glenn...mostly Meryl though. I'm going with Meryl.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Isn't Michelle supposedly engaged?

    I agree that this is someone who is not married.

    ReplyDelete
  55. for me,he/she's not married("significant other") but in couple and except with Pitt,i wouldn't be shocked

    ReplyDelete
  56. It's Meryl. She is totally a drinker and a real fun gal....this is shocking because she's the queen of Hollywood and controls her public image so well. Plus she's over 50, and that's way past the cut-off for a casual sex image.

    But trust me, Meryl is FUN.

    ReplyDelete
  57. The blind says "one of the nominees for best actor/best actress found out ...".

    It's Pitt. You just know he was stoned out of his mind and Angie was off with Tilda.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Wonder if we would also be shocked because it was a same sex pickup?

    ReplyDelete
  59. OK OK OK. I gave in to an all-nighter with George and didn't realize it was nomination time. Enty thought you guys would all be shocked that I finally gave in.

    Hee hee.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Viola, Meryl or Brad. No one else would "shock" me if Enty could Confirm that they cheated.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Streep is really the only choice that would surprise anyone. Most of the others that people actually know, no one would be shocked.

    I met Streep for about 45 seconds once(a work thing). Shockingly nice and normal seeming. Despite her being 25 yrs older than me, I would do that in a heartbeat.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Hey, Meryl, if you're the one who's out there whooping it up, for God's sake call me--I need some new excitement in my life, and hell, you've always seems like someone who'd be a blast to hang out with!

    (Now I've got this mental image of Meryl Steep banging some random guy like an outhouse door while her phone on the nightstand puts on a hell of a light show w/all the incoming calls and texts...)

    ReplyDelete
  63. I wonder what Enty considers an "epic bender". Sounds like basically a weekend party. Whatever it is, and whomever this is, they probably don't do this sort of thing all the time like Lilo or Courtney Love. And if you ask me, blowing off a little steam once every couple of months after a lengthy film shoot isn't that bad of a thing as long as it is not a weekly occurance and you can still do your job. Whoever it is, I would love to party with them.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Pitt called into the Today show that morning so maybe he was still awake from the day before???
    Still the only one to shock me would be Meryl or Glenn.

    ReplyDelete
  65. It HAS to be Glenn Close. The "actor/actress" is a dead giveaway - she's nominated for a role of a woman pretending to be a man! Done.

    ReplyDelete
  66. People - shock is the clue ... and remember that Rooney used a taser in Dragon Tattoo ...

    ReplyDelete
  67. Who was Meryl with at the SAG awards? It was not her husband and they were holding hands.

    I vote Meryl.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Anonymous8:55 PM

    SusanB - is correct. Meryl has had affairs with co-stars. Most notable is Jack Nicholson. The late, great Army Archerd - from the trade publication, Variety - did a blind item on this encounter. The "alleged" affair went on for a while. And, yes Meryl's husband is quite the Cuckold. Considering his uneventful career, I guess tolerating Meryl's dalliances are worth it $$ to him.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Would it more likely someone who wasn't a front-runner for a nomination? So many of these people had already been nominated for other awards that you'd think they'd have been expecting the Oscar phone call.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Can't be Oldman, he stated on Jimmy Kimmel that he was in the middle of his last interview for TTSS in Berlin when his manager interrupted the interview to say he had been nominated.

    ReplyDelete
  71. If this were Brad Pitt or Michelle Williams i would be shocked. Brad because Angie seems to keep him on such a tight leash and because he is a homebody with that childarmy of him. Michelle gives off this smug, holier than thou, goody two shoes vibe for me. Also I don't think she was even the slightest oblivious to Heaths lifestyle and was probably in on it before Matilda came along, now that the kid gets older it's real easy to fall into old patterns.

    ReplyDelete
  72. "a tool stranger they picked up"

    Has to be pitt or clooney after an epic partying they go out frequently

    no way glenn close or meryl would be partying hard, believe me.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I would never believe pitt would be unfaithful ever, so i can only think of clooney because a total stranger? maybe a man?

    He says THEM all the time.

    What about a TRIO CLOONEY PITT and the stranger
