Paley Festival taps ‘Fringe,’ ‘Blood’

From Variety:

“Fringe” and “True Blood” will take part in this year’s William S. Paley Festival.

Although the Paley Center for Media won’t announce the full lineup of shows for its popular annual fest until Feb. 18, the org said that the Fox sci-fi series from J.J. Abrams and HBO’s vampire drama from Alan Ball will be featured.

The Paley Festival, in which the cast and crew discuss their respective show or series, will take place April 10-23 at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood. Tickets will go on sale to members on Feb. 26 and to the general public on March 1.

For the first time, the org will offer a festival pass that will include one guaranteed ticket for premium seating each night, access to events and after-parties, concession stand vouchers, a membership for one year and other benefits. Cost is $1,200.

The fest moved to the Cinerama Dome last year after years at the Directors Guild.

Backstage At The Golden Globes

From Variety:

Anna Paquin talked backstage about how hard she fought to win the role of Sookie Stackhouse in “True Blood.”

“I was the pale brunette from New Zealand, and I’m playing the Southern tanned blonde, essentially a Hooters waitress. It wasn’t the most obvious casting choice, but I just really wanted it and I didn’t stop until they said yes.”

How did winning a Globe compare to her Oscar win for “The Piano” at the age of 11?

“I don’t even remember that, it was very blurry and crazy,” she said. “This is quite blurry and crazy, too, but at least I’m old enough to drink and stay out past 10 p.m.”
