CELEBRITY BUZZ: Oscar contender and dog enthusiast Mickey Rourke lost his beloved 18-year-old Chihuahua mix, Loki, who died in his arms on Monday. “Sometimes, when a man is alone, all you got is your dog,” said Mickey Rourke after winning a Golden Globe. If the Best Actor nominee snags the Oscar come Sunday (as is widely predicted), expect a sobfest.

MOVIE BUZZ: Awards season is upon us, which means a slew of angry actors, directors, and fans as the “good” movies are passed over for the Oscar-bait. The Dark Knight is currently tied with Revolutionary Road for Most Snubbed of 2008, but Oscar nominations are still to come. The Wrestler still has a chance.

MOVIE BUZZ: A comeback film for Mickey Rourke and director Darren Aronofsky, The Wrestler is already generating lots of Oscar buzz. Personally, I just want to see if for the head stapling scene, but I’ve got issues that I can only work out via cinema. (The movie opens December 19th.)
