The Beverly Hilton may play host to Sunday night’s Golden Globes and a rash of parties afterward, but the Four Seasons was the center of the film universe this weekend.
One guest said that "over 70 celebrities" were staying there, and to whatever degree a celebrity status is quantifiable or the headcount verifiable, the constant buzz of celebration...

The nine-year-old Best Actress nominee for “Beasts of the Southern Wild” (who was six when the film was shot) faces off against Jennifer Lawrence, Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts and Emmanuelle Riva -- the oldest Best Actress nominee at 85 -- at the 85th Academy Awards next month.
The question that awaits is: Will the world pronounce Wallis' phonetically challenging name correctly? There’s not much time for red carpet hosts to practice, because she hits the arrivals line at Thursday night’s Critics Choice Movie Awards, only hours after the her nomination was announced, the first of many to come as a nominee.
Here’s a brief tutorial, straight from the nominee herself, on how to say it:

Back when Bradley Cooper was waiting tables at Washington D.C.'s Georgetown University in the 90's and imagining a West Coast future similar to then it-boy Ben Affleck, he probably didn’t imagine the awkward moments; like spending your 38th birthday with "Entertainment Tonight" personality-emeritus Mary Hart warbling “Happy Birthday” in front of 2,000 people, and then fending off a crowd of iPhone photo-seekers on the posh side of four security check points at a ritzy hotel after-party.
