We are launching our second ever poll. Our first celebrated Cate Blanchett, our second highlights her Blue Jasmine co-star (and Academy Award nominee) Sally Hawkins. The idea of these polls is to help people (and us) explore the films of people in Allen’s filmography. Hawkins’ is not a big name outside of the UK, but […]
The Golden Globes are over for another year. Here’s the awards from the Woody Allen perspective. Allen was given the highest honour by the Globes with the Cecil B DeMille Award. Despite speculation, Allen surprised no one by not attending. Diane Keaton accepted the award on his behalf, making a short speech paying tribute to […]
We are deep into the Awards season, and Blue Jasmine, and Cate Blanchett in particular, are looking to pick up significant awards. Here’s our round-up of various award bits.

In the last two days, she has been nominated for two major Awards – The Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild. Her Blue Jasmine co-star Sally Hawkins was also nominated for a Golden Globe. Blanchett was also […]
As 2013 draws to a close, there’s plenty of discussion over who will take out the year’s big awards. Cate Blanchett is everyone’s frontrunner for Best Actress for her role in Blue Jasmine, the new film by Woody Allen. That standing holds well as it’s been announced that she is receiving the first award for […]
The gang at Official Comedy have once again set their sights on Woody Allen. This time they’ve compiled a ‘supercut’ of every time someone says ‘making love’ in a Woody Allen film. And as you can imagine, there’s a lot of them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2rG_xjFq9Q The thing about these supercuts and Woody Allen is he’s made forty […]
News Bits: Our twice monthly round up of Allen news bits from around the web. Sam Rockwell was recently interviewed at the AV Club about ‘Random Roles’ in his career. One of the roles they asked him about was his small role in Celebrity. He reveals some great stuff about that role, and that film. […]
This week’s video is another super cut – a mix of scenes from various films. This one is all Woody Allen films and features dozens of actors before they were famous. Even we were surprised by some of these. Some of the cameos we simply didn’t spot. Watch the video before you see the full […]

Our twice monthly round up of Woody Allen bits around the web. We were sad to hear of the passing of James Gandolfini this month. We loved him in ‘The Sopranos‘ and dozens of film roles.

We are now five weeks away from the US premiere of Blue Jasmine. We have quite a few updates this week, including new images, a preview of Allen on the cover of WSJ Magazine, a strange new poster and more. (UPDATE: we missed a picture, so there’s actually THREE new images in this post now) […]
We’ve been searching out old Celebrity-era interviews since we reviewed it, and came across this – a 45 minute, full show interview between Allen and Michael Parkinson. Parkinson is one of the most revered TV hosts in the UK, and was granted very special access to Allen. The fascinating interview is highlighted by Parkinson’s brave […]
Coming straight after Deconstructing Harry, Celebrity is another harsh, angry film. Shot in stark black and white and with a biting, sour message, it is at times hard to swallow. It has its moments but its an angry yell that lacks heart. Kenneth Branagh stars as Lee Simon, a journalist with aspirations of higher writing. […]
We are one years old today! We started this wee website a year ago because it was something we wanted to see ourselves. We love similar pages for other directors, but there was no site for Woody Allen. It was also time to go back through Allen’s films. So for a full year, we’ve posted […]
