Just great news. Paula Wagner, who ran Tom Cruise’s production company for years, will produce the Governor’s Awards for the Oscars on November 16th in Los Angeles at the Dolby (formerly Kodak) Theater. The awards are going to Angelina Jolie, Angela Lansbury, Steve Martin, and Piero Tosi. Wagner is a favorite in Hollywood, one of the good guys, married forever to Rick Nicita, also great. They’re former CAA agents turned producers. Paula produced all the good Cruise movies like “Jerry Maguire” and “Mission: Impossible.” She’ll do a terrific job. Last year’s Governor’s Awards was one of the outstanding events of the season. Another good choice from the Academy.
