Jennifer Lawrence took home the Screen Actors Guild award last night for Lead Female Actor in a Leading Role for her portrayal as Tiffany in “Silver Linings Playbook.” Viewers at home learned two very important things from her acceptance speech: the first, that MTV gave Lawrence the role that landed her a SAG card -- a funny "Sweet 16" promo; the second, that the director of “Silver Linings Playbook” took on the project so his 18-year-old son wouldn’t feel so alone.

The Sundance Film Festival is winding down, and what better way to end my trip by covering the "A.C.O.D" premiere -- one of my fave nights of the entire festival! Journalists prepped in a frenzy, publicists ran around, and the energy in the room as we waited for the phenomenal cast (Jessica Alba! Amy Poehler! Jane Lynch! Adam Scott!) was immense. And I was in the middle of it.

Dakota Fanning WERKED the Sundance Film Festival red carpet for her film "Very Good Girls" -- as she headed down the press line, my eyes were glued to her stunning look from Louis Vuitton's pre-fall 2013 collection. I did, however, manage to compose myself and chat with her about the project, her younger sister Elle Fanning, and Hollywood's pressure on girls to be perfect.

The Sundance Film Festival is well underway in the snowy mountains of Park City, Utah, filled with an enormous amount of fun, fierce, and fascinating films that always make me fall in love with filmmaking all over again. "The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete" was one of those films that truly blew me away. Future tip: bring tissues.

Not one, but two of my baby-daddies have movies coming out this Friday! Rapper Bow Wow stars in the military film “Allegiance,” and R&B hunk Trey Songz joins the ill-fated cast of “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D.” Both musicians make bold statements with their new movie roles -- Bow for the U.S. military, and Trey for Black actors everywhere.
