Harness or no harness, I imagine filming for hours on end on a freaking ledge must be scary even for those with nerves of steel. Sam Worthington spent a few hours on a ledge filming Man On A Ledge and then spent some time on street level trying to beat the snot out of Ed Harris.

This of course is happening in one of the greatest cities in the world:  New York.  The film also features Kyra Sedgwick (in photos) and Elizabeth Banks (also shown in photos).  Imdb describes the movie as being about:

An ex-cop turned con threatens to jump to his death from a Manhattan hotel rooftop. The NYPD dispatch a female police psychologist to talk him down. However, unbeknownst to the police on the scene, the suicide attempt is a cover for the biggest diamond heist ever pulled.

That actually sounds pretty intriguing, doesn’t it? The movie is set for release sometime in 2012.

I just love the gowns that these women wear and to me there were three that really stood out:  Christina Applegate, Holly Hunter and of course Helen Mirren.   I don’t know that the picture does justice to Helen’s dress because when she walked out on stage she was absolutely breathtaking.

Meryl Streep and Sandra Bullock both got honours for best actress at last night’s 15th Annual Critics Choice Awards with Sandra winning for her role in Blind Side and Meryl for her role in Julie & Julia.  Sandra said the win was an honour and went on to describe just how similar she and Meryl are:

“I love food and sex like Meryl. That’s how similar we are. You guys just didn’t notice it until now. Meryl is a good kisser”

The Hurt Locker received Best Picture and Best Director for Katherine Bigelow. It is the first time a woman has received the award. Ex-husband James Cameron was also up for the award for his movie Avatar, and gave her a standing ovation when she won.

Sex and The City’s Mr. Big, Chris Noth attended the New York Stage and Film’s Annual Gala at the Plaza Hotel in New York City along with:

• Dana Delaney
• Julianna Marguiles
• Kyra Sedgwick
• Amy Irving
• Bill Pullman
• Carol Kane
• Megan Hilty
• Griffin Dunne
• Joel Gray

Speaking of Dana Delaney, did you watch Desperate Housewives two weeks ago?? What a show!  Although I had it on the TV I wasn’t really focused (probably Twittering, or is it Tweeting..or Twatting…he he he) but I taped it so I will watch it again.  Her character, Katherine has gone all loopy and stuff and I have to say it adds to the show, no??  Hey, it happens to all of us at one point or another, right?  :)
