TV Alert–Johnny Depp on THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW Monday, December 13th!

Deppheads, set your VCRs–Monique reports that Oprah will usher in the awards season on Monday, December 13th by airing a show which features interviews with likely Golden Globes Best Actor nominees. The show will feature Adam Sandler, whose new film SPANGLISH will be released on the following Friday, but it will also include interviews with Jamie Foxx (RAY), Johnny Depp (FINDING NEVERLAND), and Leonardo DiCaprio (THE AVIATOR). The footage of Johnny will no doubt come from the taping that originally aired on November 2, 2004; we don’t know if any of the footage will be new, or if it will simply repeat part of what aired on Election Day.

Oprah’s Best Actor fest is timed to coincide with the announcement of the Golden Globes nominations on Monday morning. The Golden Globes, unlike the Oscars, offer separate awards for drama and for comedy/musical, so there will be ten Best Actor nominees rather than five. Be sure to watch the announcement of the Golden Globes nominations on Monday morning, and keep your fingers crossed for Johnny!
