TRON: Legacy beauty Olivia Wilde went through an intense course of martial arts training while keeping to a strict diet for her role as the warrior Quorra in the high-tech adventure.

Natalie Portman, who portrays a ballerina in her new film Black Swan, had ten years to think about the role. The director Darren Aronofsky first discussed it with her in 2000, she told HFPA members when she met with them to talk about the movie.

"I have two dogs, one I like that likes me and one I don't like that doesn't like me.

There's a good reason why double Golden Globe winner Kevin Costner hasn't been seen on the big screen for a while. "What I've been doing for the past four years is having babies, building, writing a lot of music and writing screenplays," the 55-year-old actor tells Hollywood Foreign Press members.
