A few quick awards notes for Friday
-- In case you missed it, the 2012 Grammys will be Feb. 10 at Staples Center. Nominations will be broadcast again in primetime, on Dec. 5.
-- Michael Mann will lead the main jury at the 69th Venice Film Festival. Nick Vivarelli of Variety has details.
-- “The Clios: World’s Best Commercials” will air on NBC in a one-hour primetime special July 25, hosted by JB Smoove and produced by JUMA Entertainment.
-- Should Stephen Colbert be in the race for comedy lead actor? Matt Noble argues the case at Gold Derby — citing truthiness as a rationale.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
