While Deadline and Variety are hiring, The Hollywood Reporter is losing some staff after increasing its ranks by 50% last year. Deputy web editor and new parent Patrick Kevin Day left after two months to return to the less hectic Lat, while New York-based part-time deputy online editor Lindsay Powers went to Yahoo, and veteran critic Kirk Honeycutt, who stayed on as "international critic" at the insistence of new first stringer Todd McCarthy, was finally laid off last week. THR meanwhile added former Angeleno magazine senior editor Gary Baum as a staff reporter covering restaurants and contributing to the Style and About Town sections, reporting to Culture Editor Degen Pener, and freelance author Andy Lewis as a staff writer reporting to online editor Joseph Kapsch, ...

Exclusive The Hollywood Reporter’s re-launched website is losing a wealth of talent. Two top editors, Patrick Kevin Day and Lindsay Powers, will join the recently departed general manager, TheWrap has learned. Day, the deputy editor of THR.com, has left the Hollywood trade and is on his way back to the Los Angeles Times, while the second deputy editor, Powers, is headed to Yahoo as a homepage editor. It was only two months ago that Day left the Times to join The Hollywood Reporter, where he reported to online editor-in-chief Joseph Kapsch. Kapsch and Day’s...

Avatar’s Pandora James Cameron’s worldwide blockbuster Avatar will be released on DVD/Blu-ray tomorrow, April 22. The Los Angeles Times is doing its bit to promote the release, featuring an interview with the filmmaker. Here are a couple of choice tidbits from the q&a with Patrick Kevin Day: Avatar should be rereleased in August, with six additional minutes featuring lots of Weta work. Avatar’s sequel, which Cameron expects will be made in less time and for less money than the original, will have some of its focus on Pandora’s ocean, "which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative." And here’s the best Cameron quote: "I think every model we should use in evaluating any environmental project moving forward should be: Is it good business [...]...

Ah, well. If the TV academy won't honor some television greats, then we will here at The Envelope. Check out the shocking photo gallery compiled by our editor Patrick Kevin Day. It spotlights Emmy's biggest losers like Bill Maher (all-time Emmy champ among snubees), Angela Lansbury (top bridesmaid among performers) and "Newhart" (most skunked among TV series). Patrick also hails TV classics that probably never, alas, had a chance. "Emmy voters never seemed to get" "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," he notes. "The series was nominated for a boat-load of technical awards (and even won a couple) but Joss Whedon's writing received just one nomination and never won." The TV academy was so embarrassed about the...

Michael Musto of the Village Voice isn't the only guru who believes that Clint Eastwood ("Gran Torino") will win best actor at the Oscars. Snooping through The Envelope's Buzzmeter, I see that Anne Thompson of Variety, Jeff Wells of Hollywood-Elsewhere.com and Kris Tapley of InContention.com agree. Thelma Adams of Us Weekly ranks Clint second behind Sean Penn ("Milk"). Hmmmm. Most other pundits rank Clint Eastwood low — down in the fourth position (Sasha Stone of AwardsDaily.com, Lou Lumenick of the New York Post and Ed Douglas of Comingsoon.net) or fifth place (Pete Hammond, Scott Feinberg, Mark Olsen and Patrick Kevin Day of The Envelope, Anthony Breznican of USA Today and Susan Wloszczyna of USA Today....

The Envelope's Buzzmeter has constantly updated Oscars predictions from experts, but I like to spotlight a few now and then to see how they compare. This random sampling of five views shows "Slumdog Millionaire" ahead for best picture by a score of 3 out of 5 votes. Meryl Streep ("Doubt") has the same edge in the best actress race, but there's no clear fave for best actor. Frank Langella ("Frost/Nixon") and Sean Penn ("Milk") have two votes each. Our featured pundits: Patrick Kevin Day (The Envelope, L.A. Times), Scott Feinberg (Feinberg Files, The Envelope), Peter Howell (Toronto Star), Bob Tourtellotte (Reuters), Susan Wloszczyna (USA Today). Rankings are listed numerically from first choice (1) to last...
