OBAMA KICKS OFF ON HBO
HBO will televise Barack Obama's inaugural kickoff ceremonies at the Lincoln Memorial on Jan. 18, in what is being billed as a star-studded event with top performers from music and entertainment.
Obama's Presidential Inaugural Committee said the ceremony will be free and open to the public, but HBO will get the exclusive rights to show it. The cabler will make the 90-minute event available for free to all of those with cable or satellite services, not just HBO subscribers. Obama and Vice President-elect Joseph Biden are scheduled to be in attendance.
Obama's team has promised one of the most open and accessible inaugurals in history. The event will be open for news coverage, although it is unclear just how much electronic press will be allowed to cover given the exclusive arrangement with HBO.
Back in 1993, at the first inauguration of Bill Clinton, HBO paid a reported $1.5 million for the exclusive rights to televise a similar kickoff event at the Lincoln Memorial, with Jack Nicholson delivering historical readings, and entertainment from Tony Bennett, Diana Ross and Ray Charles. But there was some controversy because the ceremony was then available only to HBO subscribers. CNN and C-SPAN did show portions of the event, but not the entertainment.
Clinton's team also sold exclusive rights to a children's event to the Disney Channel, and purchased time to show an inaugural gala on CBS.
DARK KNIGHT IS NOW THE UNDERDOG
The Dark Knight, the most successful movie at the box office in 2008, may have been passed over by virtually all the critics groups for best film, but it did receive recognition from a group that really counts -- the Producers Guild of America.
The PGA announced that Knight was one of five films nominated for its top award, the Darryl F. Zanuck Producer of the Year Award in Theatrical Motion Pictures, due to be presented on Jan. 24. The others are The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Frost/Nixon, Milk, and Slumdog Millionaire. The Guild's nominees often mirror those chosen by Oscar voters, and the winner usually takes the best-film Oscar.
