President Trump has claimed that he alone — not Barack Obama or other past presidents — has called “virtually” all families of U.S. soldiers who have died in service since Trump took office in January.
But Gold Star families have since lashed out at Trump over his false claims about past presidents, recalling how they were comforted by Obama and former President George W. Bush as they grieved. Trump was soon forced to walk back what Obama aides called an “outrageous lie,” admitting that his predecessor “probably sometimes and maybe sometimes he didn’t. I don’t know.”

Groundbreaking, first-time nominee Kathryn Bigelow was prepping for an appearance on the "Today Show" with two of her "Hurt Locker" actors Tuesday morning when the best director noms were announced. "These situations get framed as a competition," she said. "I don't see it that way. I see it as being honored in this incredible mix of filmmakers with these incredible films, and it's a great compliment to the entire 'Hurt Locker' cast and crew. We shot this movie under very difficult conditions in the summer in the Middle East -- windstorms, sandstorms -- using a crew from Lebanon and Israel, so it was no small feat. It's pretty heady stuff, let's put it that way, to be in the same conversation with these other films." Although she's aware of the magnitude of her nomination, the fourth for a female director, Bigelow is focused more on the potential impact on aspiring filmmakers.
'The Closer'Anything can get old after five years. And yet 2009 found "The Closer" in the midst of its best season yet, thanks to a crack team of writers led by creator James Duff and a crackerjack ensemble headlined by the oft-sag-nominated Kyra Sedgwick.Of course, Sedgwick is wonderful, never taking her professionally precise, personally scattered Lapd Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson too far into caricature. But what would be the point of watching without the personality dynamics in Johnson's Major Crimes squad? G.W. Bailey must be having a blast with his Lt. Provenza, whose attitude and fashion sense got turned around thanks to a new girlfriend—which gave Tony Denison's Lt. Flynn license to grouch even more. After his near-death from a shooting, Detective Sanchez now seems a tad unhinged, but Raymond Cruz grounds his character's random remarks, making Sanchez even more enjoyable. Corey Reynolds has shepherded with grace Sgt.

Golden Globe noms announced
Complete list of film and TV nominees
"I'm pumped!" James Cameron said before hopping a plane from New York to Los Angeles, where he hoped to celebrate with the cast and crew of best drama nominee "Avatar" at a screening Tuesday night. "It's been a 4 1/2-year journey, and this is not typically the kind of film that critics love, it being a genre movie and being seen as a big commercial movie." Cameron, also nominated for a best director Golden Globe, was pleased the movie also got some love in the music category. "I think this is James Horner's best score to date," he says. But he says he is sad his actors got short shrift. "Maybe there's a sense that acting for performance capture isn't the same as acting for a lens, which is going to take an education. I think that will eventually go away.
