Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue is one of my favorite magazines of the year and I’ve spoken at length in previous posts about other anticipated issues that revolve around TV; this is the movie equivalent. The Hollywood issue that got me hooked is the Tom Ford, Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley 2006 edition and finding out who is on the cover is a mixture of excitement and disappointment. Last year’s Ben Affleck, Emma Stone and Bradley Cooper bed affair is definitely one of the most blah of the past few years and luckily this year’s cover doesn’t suffer the same fate. Thankfully the 2014 cover is a doozy and it reflects the past year in film. It’s also the most diverse Hollywood issue there has been so far and that is a very good thing.
Oh hey there’s Jordan Catalano too! For those wondering Claire Danes featured in a Hollywood issue, back in 2005 (Kerry Washington also appeared on this cover).
Here’s the cover roll call Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave), Julia Roberts (August: Osage County), Idris Elba (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), George Clooney (Gravity), Michael B. Jordan (Fruitvale Station), Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club), Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave), Naomi Harris (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), Brie Larson (Short Term 12), Chadwick Boseman (42), Margot Robbie (Wolf of Wall Street) and Lea Seydoux (Blue is the Warmest Color).
Click on the image for a large version of the cover. Plus the GOOP article we’ve all been waiting for – probably a very watered down version.
