It’s kind of adorable watching Charles Xavier (Nanny?) help the future X-People take the first steps toward becoming the heroes we know them to be.

So many brown jackets, so little time.
Check out the newest poster for X-Men: First Class, featuring Katniss-to-be Jennifer Lawrence as a young Mystique, January Jones as a partially-dressed White Queen, and Kevin Bacon as a smirky Sebastian Shaw. It’s a strange-looking poster — everyone is kind of looking vaguely in a different direction, as if posing for a Christian rock album cover – but it’s interesting to see them play up the rest of the mutant ensemble. What do we think?
The new international trailer for X-Men: First Class—now with new special effects and more Magneto. What do you think?
“At Xavier’s, you’ll meet students and even teachers who are just like you and understand everything that you’re going through. Under the guidance of world-renowned geneticist Professor Charles Xavier, you’ll learn how to control your gifts, while also getting the education and training that you need to succeed in the fast-paced world of 1983.”
If you call the toll free number, you’ll get a message from the legend, Stan Lee himself.

Shame, indeed. Despite being one of the biggest breakout stars of 2011, thanks to his mesmerizing performance as a sex addict in the harrowing drama Shame, Michael Fassbender was surprisingly not called among the nominees for this year’s Academy Awards. Long considered a shoo-in for a Best Actor nominee, Fassbender was edged out by first-time nominee Gary Oldman for Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and dark horse nominee Demián Bichir for A Better Life. (EW’s Dave Karger hoped Oscar voters would take notice, and it seems like they most certainly did.)
But Fassbender wasn’t the only shocking snub in the Best Actor category. Ryan Gosling was a triple threat in 2011 with his acclaimed turns in Drive, The Ides of March, and Crazy Stupid Love. (Though the latter would have been in the Best Supporting Actor race.) Between breaking up street fights, being a good sport about your, uh, supporting actor, and of course, turning in great performances, fans of Gosling and Fassbender are no doubt wondering this morning, ‘Jeez, what’s a guy have to do to get an Oscar nomination?!’
Joining Fassbender and Gosling in the notable snubs in the acting races are Golden Globe and SAG nominee Leonardo DiCaprio for J. Edgar (Best Actor), Gosling’s Drive co-star Albert Brooks (Best Supporting Actor), and We Need To Talk About Kevin‘s Tilda Swinton, who lost her spot in the Best Actress race to The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo‘s Rooney Mara.
As if awards show perennials like DiCaprio and Swinton getting left out weren’t surprising enough, there were plenty of other baffling snubs in other categories. A Golden Globe nominee, Will Reiser’s equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking autobiographical 50/50 was omitted from the Best Original Screenplay race. Hollywood legend and three-time Oscar winner Steven Spielberg was snubbed from the Best Director category for War Horse. While The Adventures of Tintin won the Globes’ Best Animated Feature trophy, it was no match for out-of-left-field choices like A Cat in Paris and Chico & Rita. And lest we remind Harry Potter fans, the Deathly Hallows — Part II was left out of all of the major categories.
