January
13 – Central Park could have passed for Hollywood on
Tuesday evening, when the National Board of Review threw its
annual gala at Tavern on the Green. Among those picking up
awards were Sean Penn, Diane Keaton,
Alec Baldwin, Patricia Clarkson,
Paul Giamatti and Charlize Theron.
Attendees included Laura Linney, Hope
Davis, Liv Tyler, Claire
Danes, Lauren Bacall, Denis
Leary and scads of directors and screenwriters. Clint
Eastwood’s Mystic River was voted
best film, and Eastwood presented Morgan Freeman
with a lifetime achievement award.
We’re a bit
over the Lord of the Rings gang, who we’ve
seen about a hundred times in the past few weeks, but we just
had to ask Andy Serkis if he brought “the
ring” with him. (Director Peter Jackson
gave Serkis the prop ring used in the film.) “Yeah,
I did”, he said, laughing. Awardee Sofia Coppola
had the best accessory – fashion designer Marc
Jacobs on her arm. We asked him the theme of his
next collection. “I have no idea”, Jacobs told
us. But the fashion shows are in less than a month, we nagged.
“I have no idea”, he repeated. More fashion news:
Clint’s wife Dina Eastwood told us
that she bought her Luca Luca suit herself, out of her own
savings. “I would never ask Clint to pay for my frivolities”,
she told us, as Eastwood kept glancing over his shoulder at
her while he was being interviewed nearby. Kim Cattrall
was there, but should be off to Paris momentarily, where Sex
and the City is shooting some episodes right now.
