Happy 45th Birthday Ben Stiller!

Kristen Stewart with Joan Jett and Dakota Fanning

"I mean, Kristen Stewart gets to glower and act sullen and play a real person, rocker Joan Jett, in “The Runaways” (right), but the film itself isn’t likely to be on any Oscar voters’ radar screens by year end.

Noah Baumbach’s “Greenberg”, is modest, low-key and charming, an understated and dry comedy-with-a-bite that might have had a better shot with a later release date – although Oscar voters might also prefer Baumbach’s more lacerating side (i.e., “The Squid and the Whale”) to the light, sweet touch he shows on the new film.

That said, Greta Gerwig is marvelously casual and winning in the film, and could be slotted in either the Best Actress or Best Supporting Actress category depending on how the races line up.

(Leading man Ben Stiller might need to make a few more appearances on the Oscar show not wearing a silly costume or makeup before the Academy takes him seriously.)"
