Mary looked adorable as heck while attending the Film Independent and Spirit Award Nominees Brunch event today in L.A. Head to the gallery to check out the pics, and I’ll be adding more photos soon. I’ve also added video of Mary below:
Last night Mary looked absolutely gorgeous while attending Dom Perignon And W Magazine Celebrate The Golden Globes pre-party event in Los Angeles. She attended the event with her husband Riley. Love seeing them together! They both looked great. Be sure to check out all the HQ pics in the gallery and there’s also a video of them leaving the event.
According to Collider, it’s been confirmed that A Good Day to Die Hard (AKA Die Hard 5) will be rated R.
Plot is as follows:
Iconoclastic, take-no-prisoners cop John McClane (Bruce Willis), for the first time, finds himself on foreign soil after traveling to Moscow to help his wayward son Jack–unaware that Jack (Jai Courtney) is really a highly-trained CIA operative out to stop a nuclear weapons heist. With the Russian underworld in pursuit, and battling a countdown to war, the two McClanes discover that their opposing methods make them unstoppable heroes
The previous DH film, 2007’s Live Free or Die Hard which had Mary in the role of Lucy McClane, was rated PG-13.
Last night in Los Angeles, Mary attended the Dior Glamour Dinner at the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood and you can see video of her leaving the event.
Edit–one candid photo of her leaving the event has been added to the gallery.

According to a list compiled by Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences member Ken Rudolph, about sixty movies have been shipped to the 6,000-strong Academy members for Oscar 2013 consideration.
Sony Pictures Classics has been no slacker, either: seven movies on the list. Those are the aforementioned Amour and West of Memphis, plus Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love, Lee Toland Krieger’s Celeste and Jesse Forever, James Ponsoldt / Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s Smashed, and Jacques Audiard / Marion Cotillard’s Rust and Bone.
The Hudson Union Society has uploaded some clips of Mary and Smashed director James Ponsoldt from back in October when they were in NY to promote the film. Unfortunately, embedding the videos wasn’t an option, but at any rate, be sure to click on the links below to see the videos, and you can see the photos from the event here.

FilmCritHulk from Badass Digest named Smashed one of his favorite films of 2012, coming in at #10 which was tied with Cloud Atlas. Below is his review:
10. CLOUD ATLAS / SMASHED (TIE)
OKAY HULK COULDN’T EVEN GO ONE ENTRY WITHOUT CHEATING. BUT HULK COULDN’T NOT INCLUDE EITHER ONE OF THESE FILMS. AND QUITE FRANKLY, THIS UNLIKELY PAIR SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT THE RANGE OF WHAT CINEMA CAN BE. ON ONE HAND, SMASHED APPROACHES EARNESTNESS FROM A WHOLLY INTIMATE SETTING WITH STRICTLY REALISTIC INTENTION. IN DOING SO IT IS PERHAPS THE VERY DEFINITION OF A “SMALL MOVIE,” BUT GLORIOUSLY SO. IT’S ALL SUBTLETY AND GRACE, OFTEN RESTING ON THE SHOULDERS OF AN INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCE FROM MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD. IT ESCHEWS MORALITY, REFRAINS FROM DIDACTICISM AND SIMPLY SEEKS TO ESTABLISH THE JOYS OF SELF-TRUTH. AND IN DOING SO, IT IS, AS IT IS INTENDED TO BE, SOBERING. AS FOR THE OTHER FILM? CLOUD ATLAS IS PRETTY MUCH THE EXACT OPPOSITE. IT’S THE “BIGGEST” FILM IMAGINABLE AND SCREAMS ITS MESSAGE FROM THE MOUNTAINTOPS, DRILLING IT INTO OUR PSYCHES; THAT MESSAGE BEING THE INESCAPABLE NEED AND CRITICAL FUNCTION OF HUMANITIES’ BASIC, RUDIMENTARY GOODNESS. AT ONCE DISMISSIBLE AS A “KINDERGARTEN LESSON” IT INSTEAD DEFINES ITSELF PROUDLY BY THAT CHARACTERIZATION. IT WAS ONCE REJECTED BY A FELLOW CRITIC WHO CALLED IT “SIX B MOVIES THAT SUPPOSEDLY ADD UP TO SOMETHING MORE SIGNIFICANT,” BUT IF YOU ASK HULK, YOU CAN TAKE OUT THE “SUPPOSEDLY.” THESE ARE TWO FILMS THAT ARE ACTUALLY ABOUT ONE HUMAN TRUTH, AND HULK ADORES THE WAY THEY ARRIVE THERE FROM STUNNINGLY DIFFERENT APPROACHES.
Also, amestrib.com writes that Mary “gives the performance of her career” in the film:
It doesn’t reinvent the alcoholism drama, it just gives it youth and heartbreak. Mary Elizabeth Winstead gives the performance of her career as a young teacher who struggles to grow up, get sober and start over. Standing in her way? Her adoring husband (Aaron Paul), the love of her life, but her co-dependent enabler. This is what the downward spiral is like, and this is how rough recovery can be.
