Fully enjoying all the awards show season fun, Amy Adams headed over to the Hollywood Palladium for the 20th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards this evening (January 15).
The ?Big Eyes? babe was in fine form as she did a little posing while rubbing shoulders with her fellow celebrity attendees.
This year, Michael Strahan will handle the hosting duties and there?s no shortage of worthy contenders on the nominees list. Strahan told press, ?I am excited to host a night honoring some of the most talented people in the industry. The Critics? Choice Awards show paves the way for the upcoming awards season, and the best part is that the winners are selected by the very people who make a living watching and reviewing films. It doesn?t get much more competitive than that.?

Here?s an interesting final note about the Amy Adams/Today Show debacle that went down just before Christmas. Amy hosted Saturday Night Live?s last show of 2014, and she stayed in NYC an extra day just to appear on Today. Producers told her that she was going to get some questions about the Sony Hack and Amy said she would prefer not to, but Amy has always said that she was just stating her preference and that she would just say ?no comment? if she was asked. But Today producers kicked her off the show anyway, for being ?demanding? etc. Harvey Weinstein threw a fit and the whole situation was pretty bad? for the Today Show. They tried to make her sound unprofessional and diva-ish when she?s anything but. Well, here?s the final note: Amy did a live interview with Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie on the red carpet of the Golden Globes. Is all forgiven?
Meanwhile, during a different Globes red carpet interview, Amy talked more about how she worked at Hooters when she was 18 years old. She?s previously admitted that she?s worked there before, but in this interview, she talks about how ?great? it was.
Apparently, Amy Adams is used to showing off her Golden Globes. Adams ? who was looking stunning in a draped Versace gown ? stopped by to talk with ET’s Nancy O’Dell on the Golden Globes carpet, and she spilled details on her past job as a Hooters waitress.
“I would be proud of that,” O’Dell told the Big Eyes actress. “I would be like, ‘I had the body, people!’”
Adams revealed that despite her petite frame, she was much more curvaceous in her youth. “Well I was like 18, so everybody has the body at 18,” she said. “But it was a great job out of high school and I was a hostess at first, and then I waited tables for a while, and it was great. It was a great way for me to earn money for college.”
When asked if she ever imagined that she would go from a Hooters waitress to a multi-award winning actress, Adams was candid in her response: “No I never did,” she said. “I never dreamed this big. I really thought I didn?t know what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a dancer on stage, and it has just led to this so I’m just very fortunate.”

Of all the celebrity ladies out there today, Amy is like the least likely choice to work at Hooters! I would pick Cameron Diaz or Kaley Cuoco, you know? But I like that Amy didn?t throw shade at the restaurant chain. She probably did make a lot in tips ? the men that go to Hooters tip really well.

Treating herself to a smashing good time, Amy Adams headed over to the Beverly Hilton Hotel to catch all the action at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards tonight (January 11).
Always a fan favorite, the ?Big Eyes? star looked lovely in her designer ensemble while mingling with fellow famous folks in the arrivals area.
With so many amazing accomplishments to celebrate in television and film, it?s really anybody?s guess who will go home with the hardware when all is said and done. The Best Motion Picture- Drama nominees are ?The Theory of Everything,? ?Boyhood,? ?Selma,? ?Foxcatcher? and ?The Imitation Game.?

I really think the Today Show producers made TWO huge mistakes with this whole Amy Adams mess. Their first mistake was kicking her off the show after she told them she didn?t want to discuss the Sony Hack. The second mistake was trying to make Amy sound like some kind of deranged diva and blaming her for the entire incident. I?m sorry, but no one is buying it. Amy has the reputation as one of the nicest, most polite and most hard-working people in Hollywood. She is very definition of ?no drama.? And no one will take the word of Today?s producers that Amy is some kind of unhinged, tantrum-prone jackass.
Last we heard, Harvey Weinstein ? the producer of Amy?s current film, Big Eyes ? was on the warpath. He?s Twihard Proof-ing the Today Show, trying to break down their claims that Amy pitched a fit and made a staffer cry. Harvey wants an investigation. Harvey wants Matt Lauer on his knees, apologizing to Amy in person. Well, Page Six says that Weinstein Company people were in ?tense negotiations? with Today Show people late into Christmas Eve (merry Christmas, NBC employees!). And Harvey sent Amy out to say something about the situation directly:
Amy Adams says she is still “really confused” about having her live interview on The Today Show dramatically pulled minutes before it was due to take place Monday morning. Adams told USA TODAY on Tuesday night that she was “surprised” that the segment was unceremoniously canceled after she expressed misgivings over discussing aspects of the Sony hacking scandal on live television.
Speaking at a Los Angeles screening for her new film Big Eyes, Adams says she was supposed to be discussing her movie on The Today Show. But the show producers made a point of telling her team that the Sony hacking fallout would be added to the four-minute TV interview.
“I expressed that I was uncomfortable. I said I would rather not add my voice to this conversation,” Adams said. “But it was clear they were drawing a hard line. That this would be part of the conversation.”
Adams said she assumed the interview would still go on even after her discussion with the producers.
“I walked away from the conversation and went up to the room to do the interview,” Adams said. “I assumed they were going to ask me about (Sony hacking). And I was prepared for that, to whatever degree I was prepared.”
Minutes later Adams was told that the interview was not going to air.
“I was informed that they had decided to pull the interview,” said Adams. “I was confused and definitely frustrated. I still don’t understand.”
The New York Daily News cited unnamed sources saying that Adams “got aggressive” in the discussions.
Adams said she did the unusual step of speaking to the producers rather than media representatives.
“I feel like I don’t have trouble standing up for myself. This was situation I chose to speak for myself,” Adams said.
The Daily Beast reported Dec. 12 that leaked e-mails from Sony Pictures Entertainment chairman Amy Pascal revealed that American Hustle stars Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence received salaries 2% lower than their male co-stars, Bradley Cooper and Christian Bale. Even on Tuesday night, Adams declined to discuss the topic when asked by USA TODAY.
“I am not going to add my voice to that conversation. Even in this room,” said Adams. “You can add that to your story. And that’s fair.”
[From USA Today]
See, that?s what I said at the beginning ? Amy is a professional, and she wasn?t ?demanding? to not be asked any questions about the Sony Hack, she stated her preference and she was told that she would still get the questions. And she was prepared to answer the questions in a noncommittal, ambivalent way because she really didn?t want to talk about it. After hearing her side of it, it sounds more like Today producers were ?punishing? her for simply not wanting to talk about the Sony Hack and for being prepared to say ?I don?t want to comment on that? on live television.

Amy Adams was in NYC earlier this week to promote Big Eyes, which comes out on Christmas Eve in many theaters. Big Eyes is directed by Tim Burton and being distributed by The Weinstein Company. I kind of wish Harvey Weinstein would put some time and money behind Amy?s Best Actress campaign rather than focusing all of his attention to Benedict Cumberbatch, but that?s neither here nor there. The point I was trying to make is that Big Eyes is not a Sony project. It has nothing to do with Sony and the film was not affected in any way, shape or form by the Sony Hack. So, obviously, when Amy Adams went on the Today Show, all they wanted to talk about was the Sony Hack?
The Sony Pictures cyber terror attack has made everybody punchy. Amy Adams is in New York to promote the Tim Burton-directed Big Eyes, and after hosting Saturday Night Live, she stayed to do an interview segment on Today. I?m told that the attempt ended with the show pulling the segment, and left the Big Eyes star feeling sad-eyed by the way she was manhandled. All because she wasn?t comfortable answering questions about a Sony Pictures hack attack that had nothing to do with her.
I?m told that Adams stayed in New York an extra day to do the Today booking, but just before, her team was told she would be asked about the Sony attack. She came to the set, and again a producer told her she would be asked. She replied that she would prefer to avoid the subject, given this was a four-minute interview. But she was told that Today is a news organization ? something that was said as they engaged in a segment about dog grooming in which a hound was having its teeth brushed ? and she was told no one dictates their interviews.
Meanwhile, Today had done a previously taped segment with American Sniper?s Bradley Cooper and Clint Eastwood, and didn?t ask them ? even though Cooper starred with Adams (both got Oscar noms) in the Sony-distributed American Hustle. That film showed up in stolen emails and stories were built over the actresses, Adams and Jennifer Lawrence, making less money than their male counterparts.
Adams didn?t refuse to answer the question and she didn?t balk, I?m told. Prepared to explain away a scandal she played no role in, Adam was seen live in the orange room, just before she was to be interviewed. But the show bounced her, pulling her segment and completely wasting her time. Adams doesn?t have a diva rep, but either way she was prepared to answer, said insiders. It sounds like the show treated her much the way that Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) did her character Margaret Keane in Big Eyes. Which, she might have gotten to mention had the Today crew been a little nicer, opens Christmas Day through The Weinstein Company. Now they are spinning it to the Daily News that Adams was at fault and behaved like some kind of hellcat, but it sounds to me like it was the Today gang that behaved boorishly. Hard to imagine they would have treated Angelina Jolie that way, but then again her film that goes up against Big Eyes, Unbroken, is backed by Today?s sister movie company at NBCUniversal.
[From Deadline]
Um, what the hell? Now that I?ve read the whole thing? I can see why the Today Show might have wanted to ask her a few questions specifically about American Hustle and what the Sony Hack revealed about the pay inequities, but I think it?s interesting that they didn?t ask Bradley Cooper any questions about that when he was on. And besides, I believe that Amy would have taken the Sony Hack questions and answered them in a simple, non-committal way. The Today Show producers just sound like such d-bags here.
Anyway, The Weinstein Company and the Today spokesperson both released statements:
The Weinstein Company statement: ?We firmly stand behind Amy Adams. We?ve been lucky enough to have had her talents grace several of our films. We are certain her fellow actors and directors would all agree, she is nothing but the consummate professional both on and off set. Amy decided to speak up for herself and express her disappointment that Today would feel the need to ask her a question she did not feel comfortable , and rather than respect her opinion or continue the discussion, the reaction was to pull her appearance from the show.?
The Today Show spokesperson: ?As a news program, the Today show doesn?t allow guests to dictate restrictions on interviews. In this case, after hours of discussion we felt uncomfortable with the demands being made and we determined the best course of action for all parties involved was to cancel the interview.?
[From Deadline]
??After hours of discussion??? Good God, how long did they have her in that waiting room? And answer me this, Today Show: why didn?t Bradley Cooper get the same line of questioning? Anyway, I totally believe Amy?s side of things.

This is going to make me sound dumb, but I had no idea that the artist Margaret Keane is still alive! She is! And she helped Amy Adams get into character for Tim Burton?s Big Eyes. Apparently, Keane is totally happy with Burton making a film about her life. Keane even attended the Big Eyes premiere last night. These are some photos from the premiere. Amy wore this green Max Mara shirt-dress thing. I actually like it. This is a beautiful color on Amy, she looks comfortable, she?s got pockets, her hair looks amazing and everything is working. I have to say though? Margaret Keane stole the red carpet!! She?s 87 years old and she?s still killing it.
I have to say though, Amy didn?t look too happy at the premiere. Big Eyes was supposed to be another one of her big Oscar-contender films and people thought she was going to be shortlisted for all of the awards. Big Eyes did pick up some Golden Globes nominations (for Best Comedy, and Best Comedic Actor and Actress for Christoph Waltz and Amy), but Amy was shut out of the SAGs and the Critics Choice. My thought: Jennifer Aniston took Amy?s place this year. I wonder if that will happen with the Oscar nominations too? Will Aniston make the Best Actress shortlist and Amy will be shut out? People have said that Big Eyes isn?t really a great film, but when has that ever mattered? Besides, Amy is usually the best part of even lukewarm films.

She?s well-known for her impressive acting range and Amy Adams just signed on to star as Janis Joplin in a forthcoming biopic.
According to multiple reports, the ?American Hustle? star will begin filming in 2015 and the project will cover the ?Piece of My Heart? singer?s rise to fame and untimely death.
Prior to the announcement, several other actresses were also considered for the job including Renee Zellweger and Nina Arienda.
Joplin began singing for Big Brother and the Holding Company before going solo and finding massive success. She died in 1970 at the age of 27.

Amy Adams is incredibly talented. I?m not sure ? in fact, I?m rather doubtful ? that she will win her Oscar during this current award season. There were many hopes pinned on her performance in Big Eyes, and while it?s still possible that she could get a Best Actress nomination, I just don?t think the reviews are good enough to get her an Oscar at long last (I?m pretty sure it?s going to Julianne Moore!). But Amy has still gotten five Oscar nominations so far in her career ? she is one of the best actresses of her generation, and I believe she?s going to be working for a long, long time. The fact that she?s a 40-year-old baby-faced vampire probably helps with that too. So, at the age of 40 ? even in vampire years! ? is she kind of too old to play Janis Joplin? Joplin was 27 years old when she died in 1970. And ever since then, Hollywood has been trying to make a Janis bio-pic. Now it looks like the project is going ahead, with Amy cast as Janis.
After years of false starts, Amy Adams will finally have her rock-’n'-roll moment. The five-time Academy Award nominee is set to portray legendary singer Janis Joplin in a long-stalled biopic that is finally inching closer to production, Deadline reports.
Adams, 40, signed on to play the “Piece of My Heart” singer way back in 2010, but the project hit numerous roadblocks over the years as it struggled to find a director and writing team.
Wild director Jean-Marc Valle is in negotiations to helm the biopic, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Valle directed Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club, and is reportedly in talks to re-team with his writers from that film for this latest project.
As for Adams, she has made no secret of her affection for the hard-living-yet-vulnerable singer, who died at the age of 27 in 1970.
In the December issue of Vogue, Adams said that if given the opportunity to get coffee with anyone from the past, it’d be with Janis Joplin, but “it probably wouldn’t be coffee.”
The project is tentatively scheduled to begin filming sometime next year, according to reports.
[From People]
Amy has been attached to various Joplin projects over the years ? there were casting rumors in 2010 and 2012, and stuff fell apart both times. Lee Daniels was attached to direct at one time. It sounds like the moment has finally come though and this project is finally going to get off the ground.
As for whether Amy will do a good job? as I said, I think she?s really talented. I even think Amy looks a bit like Janis and the age thing shouldn?t be that big of a deal. At 27, Janis had lived a really hard life with drug and alcohol abuse and if anything, Amy still might look too young to play Janis. I do wonder about Amy?s voice. And I do worry about Janis?s music catalog. If the producers don?t get the rights to the music, it?s just going to be, like, a Jackie Jormp Jomp fiasco.

Amy Adams finally scored her first-ever cover of Vogue, for the December issue. She?s supporting Big Eyes, yet another performance which could have her on the Oscar shortlist. She?s the new Kate Winslet in that way ? Amy?s always nominated, but she?s never won the big prize. The Academy loves her though, that?s why they keep nominating her. You can see Amy?s Annie Leibovitz photoshoot here ? Amy and her Big Eyes director Tim Burton posed together and recreated The Red Shoes. You can read the full profile of Amy here ? I always say this, but Amy is a boring interview. She?s lovely and an extremely talented actress, but she?s a snooze as a ?celebrity.? That?s a good thing in life but a bad thing for gossip. Some highlights from her Vogue profile:
Seeing golden retriever named Murphy: ?That?s, like, my dog, my spirit animal. When I was younger, I was just so hyper and friendly to everybody. And still now, when I come on set, I?m like a golden retriever at a dog park, because I?m just so happy to be around people and eager to please.?
Her early days in Hollywood: ?I was able to do everything from day player to guest star to small parts in movies and it really, to this day, gives me perspective, but going through it was painful, to say the least. I felt a lot of pressure, but I just wasn?t able to get there in the audition room. Or even in meetings. My squirreliness would come out, and people wouldn?t feel confident. I?ve always been someone who had, like, a spirit of perseverance, but I actually almost quit because I was starting not to like who I was. My lawyer called me after I was fired from the two shows and said, ?Just to even get two shows in a pilot season is amazing. So you?re doing something right.? I thank him all the time for that call.?
Why she works with such powerhouse directors: ?I prefer to work with really confident directors. If they need me to take care of them or make them feel better, it?s probably not going to go well.?
Working in the suburbs of Detroit: ?I always have to remind myself: This is how I was raised. Every house in my town looked just like that one, right there. There?s something kind of comforting about it. You feel like you could just go inside, sit down in the kitchen, and have a cup of coffee. With some creamer. Not half-and-half, but Coffee-mate.?
Her daughter Aviana: ?I miss her so much. Ten days is the longest trip I think that I?ve ever had away from her. Before I left I told her, ?Lots of people are going to see you, and Daddy?s going to take care of you.? We have a huge community of friends. But she said, ?Momma, who?s going to take care of you?? I said, ?I?m a grown-up. I take care of myself.? And she said, ?No, but you need someone to come and spend time with you.? Because now she has an understanding of loneliness. It?s very sweet. She says, ?When I grow up, I am going to be your momma.? ? She starts laughing. ?She?ll probably have to be. I?m such a wreck. I?m glad you think it?s cute now. You?re not going to think it?s cute when you?re 25 and I?m living with you.?
Turning 40 years old: ?I was like, ?I?m 40 and I still care what people think of me; I still don?t do laundry so I?m always out of things; I?m just not a grown-up at all,? and I had this expectation that I would be by this age. It wasn?t, ?Oh, I?m getting old and I?m going to lose something vibrant about myself.? It was more that I was just??she switches into a trembling Katharine Hepburn?? ?so disappointed with myself.? It?s just awful. Any chance for self-loathing!?
[From Vogue]
See? Perfectly pleasant. She?s a good person, a loving mom and a supportive partner. There?s no scandal. She?s neurotic, but no more than any other working mom and talented professional. The most interesting thing, to me, is that like ALL of her directors wanted to go on the record about how amazing she is and how much they love her. And I didn?t realize she had just turned 40 this year ? she?s a vampire! No, she?ll still be working like crazy twenty years from now. She?s utterly beloved. But will Big Eyes be the film that finally gets her an Oscar?

Here are some photos from the LACMA gala honoring Quentin Tarantino and Barbara Kruger. There were so many big names there that we’ve split up the coverage between Kaiser, Bedhead and me. First off is Amy Adams in a very low cut gown that I’ll assume is Gucci as they sponsored the event. This reminds me of some of Amy’s fashion this past awards season, which was very low cut. At that point Amy said that she paying homage to her American Hustle character, but there’s no easy excuse for this. Amy looks hot, it’s just that this dress would be just as lovely if it showed a hint of her dcolletage instead of half of her boobs. It’s too much. Plus the silhouette is quite plain, I like a gown with more interest. Her styling is gorgeous though.
Kate Beckinsale mixed up her usual tight, revealing fashion in a pale loose silk Gucci gown outlined in metallic beading. The dress subtly showed skin with a high leg slit and open back. This is incredible and such a memorable look.
Demi Moore continued her red carpet comeback in a navy and black cap sleeve full length Zac Posen gown. The dress featured an intricate leaf pattern and was accented with Neil Lane jewelry. Demi looks so pretty and elegant here.
Sisters Rosanna & Patricia Arquette were both in Gucci. Patricia’s date is a guy named Eric White, an artist. I think that he’s her new boyfriend. Patricia is really working that red one shoulder dress. Rosanna’s look is a bit plain, but cool cape.
Riley Keough looked kind of miserable in a cheap black dress with a crop top tied over animal print lace. Awful and her makeup needs blending.
Let’s end with Christoph Waltz and Jamie Foxx. Both are dapper bastards in those suits but I wish that Foxx was smiling here. He’s much hotter when he smiles. That’s a great red velvet bow tie, Tom Hiddleston needs one just like it.
