Cillian's second Scream Awards nomination

The nominations have just been announced for the second annual Scream Awards, which salute the best of horror, sci-fi, fantasy and comics, and once again, Cillian has been chosen. Last year, it was a nomination for "Most Vile Villain" as Scarecrow, while this year it's for "Sci-Fi Star" for Sunshine. Cillian faces some stiff competition: Christian Bale (The Prestige), Hugh Jackman (The Fountain), Shia LaBeouf (Transformers), and Clive Owen (Children of Men). A panel of industry pros picked the nominees, but the public selects the winners: starting 7 September, we can go to iFilm's Scream Awards page and vote for Cillian. The show airs on Spike TV on 23 October.
I've added this fun pop award nomination to our comprehensive list of Cillian's awards and nominations.
Vote for Cillian in AskMen.com's Top 49 Men poll

Speaking of voting for Cillian, you can do just that right now at AskMen.com's Top 49 Men poll. They're looking to "select the men that have best represented our gender over the past year." I received an email from AskMen about this list, so they clearly don't mind if women vote too!
Hippie Hippie Shake is underway
We've spied the first signs that Hippie Hippie Shake is now shooting: a blogger named Jahna Sebastian reported yesterday that she just shot a hippie-ish rock festival scene as a "V.I.P. girl backstage". Cillian isn't mentioned, but we'll keep our eyes peeled for news of him on the set.
Slate podcast dissects Sunshine, spoilers and all
Did you ever wish, after seeing a film, that you could read reviews that said what critics really thought about all the specific plot twists they're not allowed to reveal? In the case of Sunshine, I felt that way really strongly, and Slate had just the thing to scratch my itch: their Sunshine review page also features their Spoiler Special podcast. There's a nickname the podcasters gave one character which really cracked me up—but I won't quote it for fear of spoiling anyone who still hasn't seen the film!
Barley DVD getting attention
It's great to see The Wind That Shakes the Barley being featured prominently in so many what's-new-on-DVD articles. The Huffington Post has a thoughtful review and labels Cillian "eerily beautiful." The Paramus Post calls him "immensely captivating", while The Seattle Times' slightly annoying review says the "film stars blue-eyed pretty boy Cillian Murphy (he can actually act)," and closes with an idiotic reference to Lucky Charms.
