Actor James Whitmore, 87, the Emmy and Tony-winning actor, died Friday of lung cancer. His long and varied career included stage turns has Harry Truman and Teddy Roosevelt, as well as appearances in westerns, musicals (Oklahoma!), science fiction (Planet of the Apes) and drama (most recently, The Shawshank Redemption). He earned a Lead Actor Oscar nod in 1975 for Give 'Em Hell, Harry, his stage-to-screen turn as Truman.
Word on the street is that someone on Lost dies this week. Will it be Charlotte's bloody nose? A flying arrow in the chest? Will Locke succumb now, only to become Jeremy Bentham later? Only time will tell. Tune in Wednesday.
It was announced last week that the Emmys have made some changes to the awards, including expanding the number of nominees in each main category from five to six. A popular vote will also play a larger role in voting for the nominees and winners.
The BAFTA Award winners were announced on Sunday. The film victors were Slumgdog Millionaire and its director, Danny Boyle, as well as Mickey Rourke, Kate Winslet, Heath Ledger and Penelope Cruz in the acting races. It might forecast who wins the Oscar, but the winners don't always line up.
