If you love Old Hollywood, the 1920’s, Silent Films and vintage glamour, be sure to check out the trailer below, and watch the Academy Awards this year. The Artist may take best picture.


New York Film Critics and Golden Globe, name “The Artist” Best Picture

Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion,






The Artist, behind the scenes. A black and white Silent Film that takes place in 1927 Hollywood, may become the first silent film to win the Oscar in oh, 83 years?







New York Film Critics and Golden Globe, name “The Artist” Best Picture

The Artist wins Golden Globe award tonight for, best actor in a motion picture comedy or musical, best motion picture comedy or musical and best original score.




Mildred Pierce click on Video


Actress in a TV miniseries/movie went to Emmy Award winner Kate Winslet, also a Globe nominee for Carnage, for her role in HBO’s Mildred Pierce.





Boardwalk Empire didn’t win a golden Globe, but it is still a stunning piece of nostalgia from the 1920s.


Like HBO’s Boardwalk Empire and Mildred Pierce, The Artist, sets a background, with scenery, costumes, cars, and homes, much like The Maybelline Story. It seems the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s are making a big comeback.
