Study: State needs to expand tax credits

A UCLA study advocates the expansion of California's 4-year-old Film and Television Tax Credit Program to maintain the state's position as a production center and avoid seeing shooting move elsewhere. "The uncertainty created by the limited size of California's tax credit program, which is able to provide credits by lottery to only one in every five applicants, causes many film and TV producers to pursue credits from other states," the study authors said. Showbiz producers and unions have been strong supporters of the program, which has doled out $400 million in tax credits to date. The program was extended for a single year in October when Gov. Jerry Brown signed Assembly Bill 1069 on the final day for the governor to approve or veto bills from last year's legislative session. Variety reported on Jan. 26 that Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes had pledged to introduce legislation that would extend California's film production incentive program -- probably for five years -- with the goal of telegraphing stability to the industry. The Golden State's program is significantly smaller and not as sweet as many others, with a maximum 25% credit with any production over $75 million excluded. The new study, titled "There's No Place Like Home," was conducted by UCLA's Institute for Research on Labor and Employment as part of The Headway Project. Study found that the tax credit program is benefiting the state economically with an impact of $1.04 for every dollar spent. A report issued last summer by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corp. and financed by the Motion Picture Assn. of America estimated that figure at $1.13 for for every $1 the state allocated, based on the assumption that any production seeking a tax credit would leave California if it didn't receive one. The UCLA researchers lowered the economic impact figure after extrapolating that 8.4% of the subsidy went to films and TV shows that would have shot in California anyhow. The study also recommended that the California program be revised in the following ways: The annual allocation should be increased from $100 million to $200 million. "California's program is uncompetitive with locations such as NY, Louisiana and Canada that offer $400 million to $500 million per year in subsidies, have no caps and offer much higher percentages," the authors said. Films and TV shows with budgets in excess of $75 million should be allowed to participate with a 12% credit. "These are the largest and most beneficial projects, often spending $100 million to $200 million and employing thousands of workers per project," the authors said. "Today, the majority of these 'tentpole' productions leave California for states that, like Louisiana, have no cap on their subsidies." Credits should be transferrable within the entertainment industry. "This keeps the tax credits entirely within the intended industry and removes the incentive for filmmakers to go out of state in pursuit of a cash option that California doesn't offer," the report said. The California Film Commissioner should be given power to deny or withdraw a credit if the project portrays California as an unattractive location. "Such guidelines are not uncommon in other states," the authors said. A new bipartisan study, encompassing both legislators who support and oppose the program, should be commissioned. The authors said such a study would take six months and cost $250,000 -- a "pittance" compared to the current annual $100 million tax credit allocation. "California cannot simply throw up its arms and allow an important industry to leave the state completely," the study concluded, noting that 40 other states and many foreign countries offer incentives.

Kudos ride ends for some

Michael Fassbender in 'Shame.'Oscar bellwethers did not always live up to that reputation on Tuesday, as some winners of previous awards were shut out in the nominations. That list includes "The Adventures of Tintin" (animation winner at the Globes and PGA); Michael Fassbender, Albert Brooks, Tilda Swinton and Shailene Woodley, all honored by various voting groups; and Madonna, who'd won a Golden Globe for her "W.E." song.Other surprise absentees include Steven Spielberg (cited as a producer of "War Horse" but not director), as well as Leonardo DiCaprio ("J. Edgar") and Charlize Theron ("Young Adult"), whose films ended up with bupkis.In terms of sheer volume, the omission of Fassbender is as surprising as composer Alexandre Desplat's lack of a nom. Fassbender starred in four features in 2011, and Desplat scored six films, including best pic nominees "Tree of Life" and "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close."Stephen Daldry's unbroken streak -- directing noms for each of his first three films -- came to an end as "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" got a pic nom but he was an also-ran.Ryan Gosling's "Ides of March" perf, which earned him a Globe nom, didn't get recognized, though the pic got an adapted screenplay nom.Pics that scored multiple noms Tuesday but were shut out of the best-pic race include "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" (five noms), "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" (three noms Tuesday, plus 11 BAFTA nominations), "Harry Potter" (three noms), "Bridesmaids" (two) and "The Ides of March" (one).With nine pics nominated in the top race, four helmers were shut out of the five-man director category: Bennett Miller, Tate Taylor, Daldry and Spielberg.And the Acad gave the cold shoulder to mo-cap. Despite "Tintin's" success at the B.O. and elsewhere, it was a notable toon omission, while Fox's campaign for Andy Serkis' work in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" was also ignored.In the doc category, the biggest surprise was the no-show for "Project Nim." That BAFTA nominee made the top of several critics year-end lists. "Buck," the National Board of Review's doc of the year, also failed to earn a nom.Other pics that were part of the season buzz but went away empty-handed include "Coriolanus" (particularly Vanessa Redgrave), "A Dangerous Method," "50/50," "Carnage," "Shame" "Martha Marcy May Marlene," "Like Crazy," "Rampart" (for Woody Harrelson), "Take Shelter" (for Michael Shannon) and "Win Win."

There is a scene where I must dance sexily around during my under garments that helped me very nervous," Bell informs TVGuide.com.

Around the giant screen, she's co-starred in films Failing to remember Sarah Marshall and Burlesque but still voices the title character of Gossip Girl. "I had been excited that Jeannie was very, completely different plus much more provocative [than Veronica Mars]," Bell states. "You need to show that it's a shark tank which is sink-or-go swimming and Jeannie wouldn't have the ability to work there if she did not play just like a boy and obtain as dirty because they did." Don Cheadle applies to laughs in "bold and harmful" House of Lies Producers loved her for that role a minimum of partially because Jeannie was this type of departure. "Doing open is fairly amazing," creator and executive producer Matthew Carnahan states. Bell was initially contacted about House of Lies after she and fiancé Dax Shepard pitched another project to Showtime Leader David Nevins. Rather, Nevins known as her the following day to gauge her curiosity about the pilot for any clever, racy comedy starring Cheadle. "Before he finished the 'le' in Cheadle, I stated yes," she recalls. "I simply travelled through the chair of my pants." Dealing with Cheadle, who both stars in and executive-creates the comedy, Bell wouldn't get top billing - but she states which was area of the appeal. She takes note of very well pressure and lengthy hrs that opted for transporting Veronica Mars. "The things they initially stated was, 'You're a little role within the pilot, try not to worry we are likely to develop your character. It will likely be great,' which I will tell may be the pitch that everybody will get if you have under 20 lines inside a pilot. They always promise the world. It sometimes happens, it sometimes does not," she states."Even when these were pulling my chain about developing the smoothness, I stated to myself, 'Its fine. If I must support Don Cheadle inside a series, you will find worse jobs you could have.AInch Take a look at photos of Kristen Bell It came like a enjoyable surprise once the producers shipped.

"I am a creature of habit. I am a lot just like a dog. I love being given simultaneously. I love seeing exactly the same people every single day.

The Vampire Diaries' Michael Trevino: Bill Forbes Will (Try To) Break Tyler's Sire Bond

Joseph Morgan, Michael Trevino You know The Vampire Diaries' Tyler is at his wit's end when he goes to Bill Forbes for help. Last we saw the hybrid, he had skedaddled after unwillingly biting his love Caroline due to his sire bond with Klaus. Now that Tyler realizes he has no free will, he'll track down Caroline's father as a last resort. Vampire Diaries Postmortem: How will Klaus retaliate? A Klaus-Caroline pairing? "Bill Forbes is a no-nonsense guy as far as his hatred for vampires," Michael Trevino says. "[Bill] was able to resist compulsion so [Tyler] figures not only is he the [father of the] girl he wants to be with, but maybe he can teach me some way to resist the sire bond to Klaus." But the road for Tyler is anything but easy, especially now that he truly understands how evil Klaus is. "Klaus is a button-pusher, so if he does something Tyler finds difficult, the next time he's going to try something even more difficult," Joseph Morgan says. "He wants to test this bond and see how far he can push him and Tyler is going to find it increasingly difficult to deal with." Although Tyler wants to confront Klaus (again) and stand up to him, Trevino says he won't just yet. "[Bill] goes through the list of what needs to be done and it's not going to happen overnight. The sire bond is a lot stronger than anyone could've imagined [and] it'll be awhile before Tyler can resist [it] and confront Klaus about it." The Vampire Diaries Bite: Can Bonnie forgive Jeremy? Complicating the relationship is the fact that Klaus almost seemed to be flirting with Caroline at the end of last week's episode. Although Morgan previously told us "there's potential" between the two, Trevino says viewers need not prepare for yet another love triangle. "There have been so many triangles so I don't think we'll go into another one between me, Caroline and somebody else. I think those two might just have a moment." So is the happy-about-being-a-hybrid Tyler gone for good? Trevino says, "When Tyler drank Elena's blood and transformed into a full-on hybrid ... he had a swagger to him and confidence and felt chosen. Every male figure in Tyler's life has either gone or passed away or has been killed and so there's this little complex of daddy issues. He was chosen to become the first successful hybrid so he wants to make Klaus happy, but now he sees how evil Klaus is and maybe this is a curse upon the curse he already has of being a werewolf."
