• The Los Angeles Times' Gold Derby blog would like you to know that there are two Best Picture frontrunners for 2009. One of them isn't out yet.

• In other Oscar news (I told you it was like hockey season!), Hugh Jackman has reportedly turned down the Oscar hosting job for next year. Who are they going to get now? I'm going with the cast of Glee.

• ABC has rolled out a teaser clip for the final season of Lost, with the slight modification that it doesn't include any footage from the final season of Lost. Making it not so much a "teaser" as a "reminder of what you used to like about this show, which makes it mathematically more likely that you will like things about this show again in the future."

Mad Max and nerd paraphernalia, after the jump.

• There's a new Mad Max movie in the works (there is?), and Charlize Theron is going to be in it. It's not yet clear whether Mel Gibson, whose life and career have changed quite a bit since the last time this franchise was active, will be returning.

• I know a lot of you have trouble thinking of any good reasons to be on Twitter (other than to follow us, of course), but there truly are some delights to be found. Take, for instance, last night's tweet from The Big Bang Theory co-creator Bill Prady, who posted this update linking to this photo of the BBT writers' room at the end of the day. That is a very charming collection of nerd debris.
