· The HFPA has reached an agreement with the IRS over Golden Globes gift boxes, meaning the government will see their rightful cut of the luxury giveaways from years past. Starting this year, the gift boxes will be done away with entirely, depriving stars from the satisfaction of overturning them onto their tables, rummaging through the contents, then agitatedly sweep the pile of gadgets, sunglasses, and spa vouchers to the floor, and saying "There's no fucking iPhone in here. Anyone want this crap?" [HFPA.org]
· Vogue's Andre Leon Talley will host an Oscar fashion show in the Academy lobby, featuring "many of the spectacular dresses that have been worn to the Oscars through the years." Quick: Think of three, not including Cher or Bjork's swan dress. Not that easy, is it? Memory loves ugly. [Variety]
· Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest picks up five People's Choice Awards, and Halle Berry, accepting for Favorite Female Action Star for X-Men: The Last Stand, begged "every person in the room" who wants to see another X-Men movie to "write letters! Write a letter to Tom Rothman at Fox and tell him so." Good thing she didn't ask the viewers at home to do the same, or Tom Rothman would have been flooded with mail pretty soon! [InsideSocal]

· Dreamgirls gets eight NAACP Image Awards nominations, competing for best picture against Akeelah and the Bee, Blood Diamond, Catch a Fire and The Pursuit of Happyness. [THR]
· There will be seven Golden Globes post-parties, with an E!/Environmental Media Association co-hosted bash, along with the Paramount party, both in the former Robinsons-May retail space, and the other five (InStyle/WB, Fox, NBC/Universal, Weinsteins, and HBO) spread out around the Beverly Hilton. But where the real players inevitably wind up is the CAA party, at an "undisclosed hotel on the Sunset Strip." Hmm...That's a towering mystery. Unless it's the Château. Actually, we have no clue.

· The Oscars makeup race narrows the field to Apocalypto, X-Men: The Last Stand, Click, Pan's Labyrinth, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, The Prestige, and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. Whether burying Tim Allen beneath a fat suit and beard, or convincingly recreating elongated Mayan earlobes, Disney's makeup department has lots to be proud of this year. [THR]
· With all the focus on the Globes, it's easy to forget that the Critics' Choice Awards are this Friday. Broadcast Film Critics Association president Joey Berlin would gently like to remind everyone that 19 of the 20 Oscar acting nominees last year were CCA nominees as well. [THR/Reuters]
· RottenTomatoes.com awarded its Golden Tomatoes, honoring the best reviewed films of the year, to The Queen and Casino Royale (98% and 95% Tomatometer ratings, respectively). The Moldy Tomato, an award for bad reviews and not a euphemism for an aging actress's ladyparts (to our knowledge, at least) went to Basic Instinct 2 (7%). [AP]
· The two Israeli contenders for Best Foreign Picture Oscar nomination contention, Sweet Mud and Black Book, are both "downers." Come on, auteurs of Zion, what say we turn those frowns upside down! [Jewish Ledger]
