London (AFP) - "All Quiet on the Western Front" on Thursday tied as the most-nominated foreign language film in British cinema history, receiving 14 nods for glory at the upcoming BAFTA awards. German director Edward Berger's anti-war movie ties with Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which won the same number of nominations in 2001.

Los Angeles (AFP) - Oscar-tipped actor Brendan Fraser will not attend next year's Golden Globes ceremony, he said in an interview published Wednesday, four years after he publicly accused the former head of the awarding body of sexual assault. In a startling comeback, the 1990s star has raked in plaudits for his role in Darren Aronofsky's "The Whale." But even if his performance as a 600-pound (250-kilogram) English professor trying to reconnect with his daughter does score him a Globes nod, he will not attend the January event. "No, I will not participate," Fraser told GQ in an interview when...

The Film Independent Spirit Awards honor low- and mid-budget movies, and the glitzy gala held at Santa Monica beach near Los Angeles could provide a much-needed boost for smaller films like Gyllenhaal's ahe...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Sci-fi epic "Dune," coming-of-age drama "Licorice Pizza" and musical remake "West Side Story" received major boosts in Hollywood's awards season race Thursday as several of the film industry's top guilds unveiled their nominees. The movies earned nods from Tinseltown's directors', producers' and writers' unions, putting then in contention alongside presumed early Oscars frontrunners "Belfast" and "The Power of the Dog" -- which also secured multiple nominations. But hopes that mainstream crowdpleasers such as superhero blockbuster "Spider-Man: No Way Home" or 007 installmen...
