Game Change premiered on HBO Saturday night and was pretty damn HUGE! In fact, it was the premium cabler best original film in eight years!
Take that, John Adams! (Or is that considered more of a mini-series…)
The controversial TV flick starring Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin scored an average 2.1 million viewers during its weekend run and 3.6 million viewers over its four showings, depicting John McCain's costly move of bringing in Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate.
Team Palin may not be too pleased with the flick, but the people have spoken!!! They LUV it!
Guess we'll have to TIVO this one the next time it is on?

Soooo interesting!!
And can we just say, whoever it was that saw in Julianne Moore the potential to look EXACTLY like Sarah Palin is a genius — and can see something we can't!
Because when she ISN'T done up like Sarah, she looks nothing like her!
Incredible!
Check out this video of Julianne on Chelsea Lately, and listen to what she has to say about playing Sarah, and all the negatives that seem to be coming with the positives!
Click play!
How do you even know what's in it??
The screenwriter for the upcoming HBO movie Game Change, which is about Sarah Palin in 2008 (played by an uncanny Julianne Moore), really wishes Sarah would watch the movie before she started bashing it.
Just because she has no idea how it's presented is no reason for her political action committee to NOT release video and statement slamming it as being “fiction” filled with “the half-baked truths and fabrications of the liberal left.”
And guess what?
They even offered to screen it for her, and she turned it down. It's easier to jump to conclusions that way!
Here's what the screenwriter, Danny Strong, said:

With HBO airing Game Change, Reelz Channel has decided to get in on the Sarah Palin mix.
The network will air The Undefeated, a favorable documentary highlighting Palin's journey through the 2008 campaign process.
Game Change's portrayal of Sarah Palin isn't as shiny and sparkly like this one. The HBO movie highlights John McCain's strategist, Steve Schmidt, second guessing his idea of picking Palin as McCain's VP.
The Undefeated will premiere

It's almost as if this HBO film ACTUALLY stars Sarah Palin! And given her recent efforts to return to TV….she very well COULD have starred in it! Ha!
Check out the newly released trailer (above) for HBO's Game Change, which revolves around the 2008 election.
We continue to be VERY impressed with Julianne Moore's portrayal of Palin, and Ed Harris' portrayal of John McCain! We will definitely be tuning in for this one!
What do U think? Excited for Game Change to premiere this March???

And this has nothing to do with pudding!
Claire Danes has been named Woman of the Year by Hasty Pudding Theatricals. Previous winners include Julianne Moore, Charlize Theron, Anne Hathaway and Halle Berry.
Known for its fabulous burlesque shows, the Hasty Pudding Theatricals will have a parade led by Claire before she receives her award later that afternoon.
2012 has been very kind to Danes; she scored her third Golden Globe with Showtime's Homeland and she gets to lead a parade full of fabulous divas!!!
Lucky!
Claire will make the trip to Cambridge on January 26th.
