LOS ANGELES May 26, 2004 - On Tuesday, May 25th, The Orpheum Theater played host to the Fifth Annual Golden Trailer Awards. The event honoring film trailers for their artistic value was hosted by comedian Tom Green. The winning results were tabulated by the accounting firm of Ernst & Young and announced at the event.
Winners were selected by a panel of industry judges that included: Benicio Del Toro (Traffic, Snatch, and the Hunted), Neil Jordan (Director The Crying Game, Butcher Boy), Bob Osher (Co-Producer Miramax), Drew Giordano (Sr. VP Warner Bros. Pictures), Glenn Close (Stepford Wives, Le Divorce), Fisher Stevens (Co-President GreenStreet Films), Rob Minkoff (Director The Lion King, Stuart Little), Steve Carr (Director Daddy Day Care, Dr. Dolittle), Anne Chaisson (producer Rodger Dodger, PS), Paul Cohen (President Manhattan Pictures), Mary Schmidt Campbell (Dean of NYU, Tisch school of the Arts), Pablo Ferro (Titlest, Artist Dr. Strangelove), Karen Schmeer (Editor Fog of War), John Ottman (Editor, Composer, Usual Suspects) and Greg Dean Schmitz (Film Critic Yahoo Movies).
Launched by industry veterans-and sisters-Evelyn and Monica Brady, the Golden Trailer Awards is the film industry's awards show for feature film trailers: 90 minutes of pure, adrenaline-packed fun and non-stop entertainment. "It's the movie awards show guaranteed against attention deficit disorder," says Monica Brady.

Soul Godfather: GODFATHER OF SOUL JOINS RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS FOR UK DATES
James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, continues his Seven Decades of Funk World Tour this summer, joining funk-punk-rock group the Red Hot Chili Peppers for five dates in the United Kingdom. Armed with his famed dance moves and funk-searing voice, James Brown has been grooving crowds into a frenzy with hits such as “I Got You (I Feel Good),” “Get Up (I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine),” and “Make It Funky,” as well as several brand new cuts since the kick-off of the Seven Decades of Funk World Tour a year ago. Brown pours his heart and soul into the words he sings and has influenced, shaped, and redefined the course of contemporary music, including the path of the band he now shares a stage with, the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
James Brown is a globally recognized entertainer with 119 charted singles and over 50 best-selling albums. He has sold millions of records since “Please, Please, Please” first dominated the airwaves and the charts in 1956, and his catalog of classic recordings have made him the most sampled recording artist in history. He was one of the first Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and honored with Lifetime Achievement Awards by the Grammy’s, the American Music Awards, and the Kennedy Center Honors.

Forthcoming shows to be highlighted this month on BBC AMERICA include Coupling, Little Britain, Without Prejudice, our own Ground Force America and much, much more.
Fashion Notes: As much as we love Julianne Moore, we couldn’t be more sick of the advertorial film in theaters touting Revlon. Yuck! The talented Moore has cut her hair and has darkened her color to a deeper red.
Meanwhile, is that really Chloe Sveigny’s hair or are those extensions? She’s sporting super long (blond) locks these days.
DOUBLE VISION!! Rosie Perez was out last night wearing the same red-and-ruffled dress Eva Ammuri wore to the “Day After Tomorrow” premiere.
Easy Homemade Ranch: Teena Hammond Gomez sent this to me (she, in turn, got the recipe from “Dawnia” on www.allrecipes.com – our favorite recipe site):
You can also use buttermilk in place
of the sour cream, if you like.
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, chives,
parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Cover and
refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.
Rice Squad: She also sent me this: Creamiest Rice Pudding
Submitted by: Bonnie Quinn
OK, so it's a little time-consuming to make this on the stovetop, but
for a real rice pudding fan, it's worth every minute. My husband says it
reminds him of the rice pudding he used to get as a child at a
restaurant.
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
1/2 gallon milk
1 cup white sugar
1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
ground cinnamon to taste
Directions:
1. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine 1/2 gallon milk,
sugar and rice. Simmer, covered, 1 hour, stirring frequently. Remove
pan from heat and let rest 10 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, combine eggs, 1/4 cup milk, salt and vanilla. Stir
into rice mixture and return pot to low heat, stirring constantly, for
2 minutes. Pour into a 9x13 inch dish and cover with plastic wrap,
folding back the corners to allow the steam to escape.
3. When pudding has cooled to room temperature, remove plastic wrap and
sprinkle surface of pudding with cinnamon. Cover tightly (with fresh
wrap) and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight before serving.
Speaking of Food: If you haven’t tuned into food TV, you might want to try it. There are some wonderfully entertaining shows including “Unwrapped,” “Good Eats” and “Top 5.” There’s also “30-Minute Meals” (which is fun to watch, but she often makes food that isn’t particularly interesting to us). “Paula’s Home Cooking” on the other hand, almost always makes scrumptiously yummy looking meals.
The Curry House in West Los Angeles is offering chicken curry and rice (Yummy) for half-off if you buy a beverage. Now through Sunday.
