Apparently, this was sent to subscribers only, while the Twilight cover hit the news stands.
I don’t know if this is their “official” Oscar issue or not – it’s the beginning of December so maybe it is. It can’t be. Their official issue will either have to have Heath Ledger and the Dark Knight crew on it or else the Benjamin Button crew. Milk might also take it.¬† Then again, it could be Slumdog? Can they sell magazines with Danny Boyle and non-stars? Hm. My money is on Ben Button – Pitt and Blanchett.
This week, Meryl Streep is on the cover and our friends over at Oh No They Didn’t has posted scans of the Streep article, along with a Best Pic rundown of how the films stand. We already know which films Karger chose but it’s interesting to read the “why it gets in, why it doesn’t” parts.
They also have a thermometer of the actors and I swear it looks like Sally Hawkins where Kristin Scott Thomas should be. Have a look at the cover and the Oscar bits after the cut but if you’d like to see the whole thing, go to ONTD.
