Steve Jobs is a strange duck of a film – a look at three pivotal moments of the Apple genius’ life in the hope that it will give a full picture of the man.
The three moments are the backstage events prior to three key launches of Jobs’ products: 1984’s Mackintosh, 1988’s NEXT computer and 1998’s iMac.

SundanceTV continues its acquisition of quality scripted dramas with Babylon (Thursdays, 10/9C) – a workplace drama set in London’s Scotland Yard. Created by Danny Boyle and starring Brit Marlin and James Nesbitt, it deals with the pressures of police work at all levels – culminating in the top job – and the struggle to maintain the public’s sympathy and trust.

With “Awards Season” in full swing, we come to my favorite awards show to watch – The Golden Globes [the Globes’ new look featured, above]. Where else can you see an award winner rush from the little girls’ room to the stage, trailing a piece of toilet paper from her shoe [Christine Lahti, you are immortal because of this], or another award winner insist upon giving his award to the actor who inspired him to become an actor [the only award Jack Lemmon ever got that was voted for by a panel of one – and who knows how many other actors he inspired…?]. Thank you speeches that come from the heart or, on occasion, from a few too many drinks… The Golden Globes are fun because you get more moments from real people than all the other awards shows combined [excepting, possibly, The Spirit Awards]. Plus, the Globes honor movies and television – so there are twice as many opportunities for entertainment. So, here, after the jump, here are the nominees and my choices.
