		Golden Gongs The joy was spread evenly at last night's Golden Globe awards, with The Aviator winning Best Drama, Clint Eastwood named Best Director for Million Dollar Baby, and Sideways taking Best Musical or Comedy. Jamie Foxx walked away with Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for Ray while Hilary Swank beat out Vera Drake's Imelda Staunton to nab Best Actress in a Drama for her heavyweight performance in Million Dollar Baby. It was left to Clive Owen to fly the flag for Britain, winning Best Supporting Actor for Closer, but Leonardo DiCaprio was also flying high for his portrayal of Howard Hughes in The Aviator. Get the full list of winners here. Meanwhile, those bods at BAFTA have also got in on the act by announcing their nominations this morning. As well as the usual suspects, their pick includes nods for House Of Flying Daggers and not one but two Best Actress nominations for Kate Winslet for her roles in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind and JM Barrie biopic Finding Neverland. Read the Brit academy's list here.

		Vaughn's Big Break Vince Vaughn will star in and produce The Break Up after Universal paid upwards of $2m for the spec comedy by Jay Lavender and Jeremy Garelick. It's one of the priciest spec scripts in recent years although Vaughn deserves much of the kudos as it's based on his own original idea. Details of the plot are being kept tightly under wraps, but the BBC can reveal that it has something to do with a couple who "break up". Hey, you don't pay that licence fee for nothing!

		Kim Goes To Washington Just days after Kiefer Sutherland expressed his interest, Kim Basinger has now lined herself up to star opposite Michael Douglas in political thriller The Sentinel. Sometime actor Clark Johnson will direct the film about a Secret Service agent who has an affair with the First Lady and becomes a suspect in a plot to assassinate the President. As well as producing the pic, Douglas is now slated to star as the adulterous agent, with Basinger as the First Lady and Sutherland as "an agent of dubious loyalty". In other words: Kiefer did it.

		Coach Topples Fockers Samuel L Jackson basketball drama Coach Carter has dunked Meet The Fockers at the US box office. It scored $23.6m (£12.6m) to take the No 1 spot, but the Fockers are still strong in second place after four weeks with $19m (£10.1m), which brings their total tally to $230.8m (£123.3m). Kiddie flick Racing Stripes opened in third place with $14m (£7.5m) and, right behind it, Dennis Quaid comedy In Good Company took $13.9m (£7.4m). It was bad news for Jennifer Garner though. Her comicbook adventure Elektra showed little spark, fizzling in fifth position with $12.5m (£6.7m).

		Barrymore Gets Lucky With Bana According to Dark Horizons, Drew Barrymore will join Eric Bana in director Curtis Hanson's gambling drama Lucky You. The Insider scribe Eric Roth penned the story which follows Bana's gifted poker player who must battle personal demons as he attempts to win a major tournament in Las Vegas. We can only assume Barrymore will play the girl he kisses. Cameras (and dice) will roll in Vegas from March.
