Amy Adams

Normally, when a guest host on ’SNL’ breaks into song during their opening monologue, it feels like a last resort, like no one in the writer’s room could come up with a better idea. And for a moment, it seems that way for Amy Adams, who talks about everyone really needing to enjoy their holiday season before the rest of the cast joins her to sing “We Need a Little Christmas.” But it’s all part of an elaborate set-up, since the great Kristen Wiig shows up to save the monologue and show Adams how to really celebrate the holidays.

Amy Adams is adorably bad at flip cup. The ‘Big Eyes’ star—and hey, this week's ‘Saturday Night Live’ host!—hit up ‘The Tonight Show’ last night to play an extremely festive round of flip cup with host Jimmy Fallon. Although the cheery spirit was strong in this particular round of holiday-decked flip cup, that didn’t do much to help Adams’ overall performance.

Last weekend’s ‘SNL’ under ‘The Hobbit’ star Martin Freeman proved the best episode of the season by far, but will Amy Adams’ 2014 closer steal the title? Watch Amy and Taran Killam celebrate Christmas with computer snow and endless proposals in the first promos for ‘SNL’'s last episode of 2014!

A few months ago, the Internet celebrated the 25th anniversary of Tim Burton’s ‘Batman’ as the Internet is wont to do: retrospectives, lists about things we may or may not have known about ‘Batman,’ embeddable clips from Prince’s ‘Batdance.’ So it’s kind of fitting that both the director of ‘Batman,’ Tim Burton, and its star, Michael Keaton, currently have movies out that are considered respective departures. Burton, for dropping his signature style to make the Margaret Keane biopic, ‘Big Eyes,’ and Keaton for playing off his own persona as Batman in ‘Birdman’—a movie Burton has yet to see, but that fact doesn’t stop Burton from saying many wonderful things about Keaton.

Jennifer Lawrence is one of the biggest movie stars working right now, thanks to her roles in ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘X-Men’ franchises, and more awards-ready fare like ‘American Hustle.’ Similarly, Amy Adams is also a pretty big deal, having been nominated for an Oscar five times now. It might surprise you to learn that Lawrence and Adams are still paid less than their male counterparts, even though they are two of our most acclaimed and beloved stars. In another leak from the massive Sony e-mail hack, we’ve learned that the reach of the depressing gender wage gap extends to these celebrated actresses.

The first footage of director Tim Burton's biopic of artist Margaret Keane has arrived with the 'Big Eyes' trailer, which first premiered on Yahoo Movies. As the Oscar race continues to heat up and more films reveal footage to the public, could Amy Adams' leading performance earn her more awards attention?

The Janis Joplin biopic starring Amy Adams is still alive and very much kicking: the currently titled and long-gestating ‘Get It While You Can’ was previously set to be directed by Lee Daniels (of ‘Lee Daniels’ The Butler’), but it looks like Daniels has been replaced by Jean-Marc Vallee, director of ‘Dallas Buyers Club’ and the upcoming film ‘Wild.’

‘SNL’ scored a major win this past weekend with ‘The Hunger Games’ star Woody Harrelson’s return hosting gig, and we’re keeping positive for Cameron Diaz this coming Saturday, but what of the final 2014 slots? Get ready for ‘SNL’ December, with James Franco, Martin Freeman and Amy Adams all taking turns as host! Also, Nicki Minaj and One Direction. If that’s your thing.

Just when you think you're officially over the whole ALS Ice Bucket Challenge thing, Amy Adams and Henry Cavill go ahead and do one from the set of 'Batman vs. Superman.' And they do it in costume, too. Yes, this may be your one and only opportunity to watch people pour buckets of ice water on Superman's head.

It's been seven years since Disney's 'Enchanted' charmed its way into our hearts, and now the film is finally getting a happily ever after with a sequel. 'Enchanted 2' is moving ahead with writers and a director and everything. But will Amy Adams return to reprise her role as Giselle? We can't picture a sequel without her!
