MTA bus driver Yvonne Farrington got a second chance at meeting the sailor with a "beautiful smile" she ran into over the weekend. After spotting him near the Circle Line pier, Farrington was able to snap a quick photo with the sailor before continuing on her bus route. With the help of 1010WINS, the Navy handed over information on where Farrington could find her man, and the two got to meet yesterday. Unfortunately, 34-year-old Navy Ens. Larry Chester is already taken! more ›

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association voting pool for the Golden Globes only consists of 83 members, but every year their mainstream tastes become one of the potential early prognosticators for the Emmys and the Oscars. Over in Beverly Hills today, the stylists are putting the finishing touches on the stars' couture, that long red carpet is being laid and some assistant is double checking the seals on the envelopes.

However, constructing end of the year top ten lists can be both painful and thrilling. Looking at a long list of the year's movie releases reminds you how many films passed you by in the theaters and playing favorites amongst the pool is never easy. It's much more fun to look at a top 10 and what various moviemakers from around the world have churned out in the last 12 months as glass half full. In the midst of the dreck of horrible new releases are some very bright spots, and here are 10 of our personal highlights. more ›

It's December today and you know what that means...let the rampant awards season speculation commence! As the year comes to a close, it's that magical time when all of the movie studios begin unloading their most precious commodities into our theaters, making sure things come out in New York (and LA) before Dec. 31 so they'll be eligible for this year's Academy Awards.

(Okay, fine they'll be broadcast on December 14th. It's closer than it seems.) more ›
