[Telluride Film Festival] Telluride Film Festival The Telluride Film Festival kicked off in the Colorado mountain town Friday. Here's what happened. ►The scene: Rebecca Keegan is on the scene at Telluride's patron brunch, where stars mingle, deals get done and "a bearded man in a cowboy hat is grating fresh horseradish for the crowd’s bloody marys."

"If Fox can convince its stars and Oscar voters that [Christian] Bale is actually a supporting actor in the film, then he could be a contender.

Feinberg also writes that those who attended the premiere screening of Judy "may have seen [Renee] Zellweger's best work yet — work certainly strong enough to garner her a fourth Oscar nomination, in the category of best actress, which would be her first since she took home the gold for Cold Mountain 16 years ago."

Shares of Lions Gate Entertainment dropped in midday trading Friday as rumors circulated that Comcast will not renew a pact that makes Starz available to its cable-TV subscribers. Earlier, the company announced a multi-year agreement with AT&T to make Starz available to subscribers of DirecTV, AT&T TV and U-verse, all of which are owned by the telecom giant.
