We can all agree that among the most dashing of the mens’ nominees was “A Single Man” lead, Colin Firth, wearing a bespoke Tom Ford suit and vintage inspired cuff-links and studs. The cuff-links and studs are copies of 1920’s vintage models and were a gift from designer/director Tom Ford. According to WENN, the actor even went on to say, “I own a very nice house and I make a nice living, but I am not in a position to own these.” It is those small, delicious details that make a man stand apart amidst a sea of penguin suits and shiny shoes. Gentlemen take note: subtlety is king. We were so excited, we actually tweeted (or as our friends like to say, “twoted”) about it. Here is photo Firth alongside his wife, Livia Giuggioli via USA Today.

Every year around this time Variety.com becomes besieged by FTC ads. FTC is trade-speak for “For Your Consideration” — these are ads paid for by studios meant to attract/entice/get the attention of members of awards voting groups like Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (Oscars) or Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Emmys). Official Academy Award nominations won’t be announced until Tues., Feb. 2, 2010.
Until then, every major entertainment site will speculate on who will be nominated. The category to watch, as far as we’re concerned, is for Best Supporting Actress. Possible contenders for the title of Oscar Princess include, “Nine” star Penelope Cruz (she was nominated for Golden Globe); Mo’Nique in “Precious” (also nominated for a Globe); Julianne Moore in “A Single Man;” Melanie Laurent in “Inglourious Basterds;” and… Betty White for her role in “The Proposal?” Hey, it’s a long shot, but it would be funny/amazing to see Mo’Nique and Betty White go head-to-head in the same category, no?

As someone who prides himself on having a love of both fashion and film, no story has intrigued me more than that of Tom Ford’s desire to make a feature film. Many know Ford as one of the greatest living American fashion designers, yet he made it no secret after his retirement from designing that he had his sights set on film directing. Could he translate his meticulous eye and his artistic genius from the fashion world to the silver screen? Or would his penchant for overt sex, evidenced by his racy ad campaigns for Gucci in the late 90s and early 00s, render any film work he’d aspire to make much too campy right out of the gate? For years, the question lingered. Luckily for us, we finally have an answer.


This week The Cinema Society of New York and Bing hosted a screening of “A Single Man” at the Museum of Modern Art with an after-party held at Monkey Bar.
