Quentin Tarantino Will Receive Special Recognition For His Use Of Music In Film At The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards
rnrnWhether it was John Travolta and Uma Thurman doing the Twist to “You Never Can Tell” in Pulp Fiction, the way that the use of “Across 110th Street” in the opening credits of Jackie Brown sets an elegiac tone for the rest of the film, or Michael Madsen’s infamous ear-slicing scene scored by “Stuck In The Middle With You,” there are few auteurs who make better use of music in their films than Quentin Tarantino. It is this particular expertise that the Broadcast Film Critics Association will honor with a special award at this weekend’s Critics’ Choice Movie Awards, airing live on VH1 at 9pm ET on Friday, January 14. For more information, please take a gander at the following press release that *just* hit the wires.rnrn

SNL Power Rankings: The Not Ready For Primetime Players Take A Backseat To Jim Carrey
And there you were, thinking that we forgot about this feature! After 2010 closed out in fairly hectic fashion –I proposed to my girlfriend and got stranded as part of the Great Blizzard, among other things — I made sure to clear my entire Sunday to watch and tabulate the results of the last three episodes of SNL: the Paul Rudd/Paul McCartney episode (Dec. 11), the Jeff Bridges/Eminem/Lil Wayne episode (Dec. 18) and, of course, this weekend’s highly rated episode hosted by Jim Carrey with musical guest the Black Keys. Abbreviated reviews for December’s missing episodes will be going up shortly are up (see above), but let’s kick 2011 off, timely style, and start talking about how awesome Jim Carrey is, was, and will always be.
It’s fair to say that, after dominating the comedy landscape for much of the nineties, Jim Carrey’s career took a depressing left-hand turn into Snoozeville for the better part of the Aughts. Yes, we dimly recall chuckling during Bruce Almighty ($484 million worldwide gross) and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was, without a doubt, one of the decade’s most resonant films. Outside of those, though, Carrey’s luster suffered as he chose to probe the dark side of his persona in weird and terrible films like The Number 23 and The Majestic when he wasn’t vacationing in the Uncanny Valley (2009′s A Christmas Carol).
However, the second that Jim Carrey stepped on stage in the show’s Black Swan sketch (which had a good deal of Vera de Milo flavor in it, wouldn’t you say?), the world was reminded of Carrey’s brilliance as a sketch performer. Carrey’s star quality helped propel the show to creative heights (“Can We Stay With You?”, his killer and totally out of nowhere Alan Thicke impresh!) and huge ratings (the biggest since last May’s Betty White episode). But, rather than discussing the star or the musical guest, now is the time of the week in which we break down how the cast performed this week with our SNL Power Rankings.
