• The biggest film contest on the web continues, as we congratulate the Five Shorts selected as finalists for Round Two of Movies Askew:

Congratulations to all. We will be posting Mr. Smith’s comments shortly. There were several more shorts that just missed being a finalist by THIS much,
despite the efforts of their ardent champions. However! All is not lost! Now is the time to begin campaigning for the last, coveted Lifeboat spot. Voting
will be from now until Dec. 20, so start hitting the forums and begging for the votes! We will announce the lifeboat winner on Dec. 20.

As always, you can watch these works of brilliance over and over, AND cast votes, at Movies Askew!

• Degrassi The Next Generation just finished up it’s current season stateside on Noggin. We’re still unsure of when Kevin’s episodes will air, though
  last we heard, they’d first see air in January, but only in Canada.
• Seems JoBlo is excited as we are about Kevin’s possible involvement with a Star Wars TV series.
  Please let this one be TRUE!!!
• More high marks for Raquel Castro as Susie in the stage production “White Christmas”
  come to us today from the New York Times. Congrats, Raquel!
• Congrats also to Dogma score-meister Howard Shore, who has been nominated for a Golden Globe for his score in the film “The Aviator”.
• There’s lots of chances for those of you with the Independent Film Channel to catch a rerun of Kevin & cast members from “Jersey Girl”
  on their “Dinner for Five” over the holiday week. The show will air at 10:00 PM on 12/24, 7:30 PM on Christmas Day, and once more at 8:00 PM on 12/28. As
  always, check your listings, times vary by zone. George Carlin, Jason Biggs, and Stephen Root appear with Kevin and Favs.
