Julianne Is Palin; Still No Obama
HBO’s “Game Change,” based on a dubiously sourced book by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann, has been getting a lot of publicity the last 24 hours with its released photo of Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin. But guess what? The project has still not cast anyone to play Barack Obama. Will Smith would be a natural (Denzel is too old), but he’s always bound up with more lucrative projects. SNL’s Jay Pharoah does a mean Obama impersonation (even though SNL, inexplicably, keeps giving the Prez assignment to Fred Armisen), but Jay apparently isn’t famous enough for the people at HBO.
