Matching hat, faux-pearl necklace, gloves with ring detail and faux-leather zip-up boots also included.

‘Modern,’ ‘Tangled,’ ‘Alice,’ ‘Toys’ Golden Globe Noms for Disney
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its list of nominees for the 68th Annual Golden Globes this morning and Walt Disney Studios, Disney/Pixar and Disney-ABC Television Group (DATG) offered up a solid selection of nominations in films and television.
Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 3 is the weakest link in the nomination chain with a single, but very crucial nomination in the Best Animated Feature Film category in which it competes against Walt Disney Animation Studios’ own Tangled along with unsurprising entries from DreamWorks Animation, Universal Studios and Sony Pictures.
Tangled also has its work cut out for it in the Best Original Song (Motion Picture) category for ‘I See the Light’ by Alan Menken and Glenn Slater. There it competes with entries from Burlesque, Country Strong and Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
Meanwhile in the live action department, it’s all smiles for Tim Burton’s take on Alice in Wonderland which scored nominations in three categories: Best Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical), Best Original Score by Danny Elfman and Johnny Depp for Best Performance in a Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) in which Depp is pitted against himself for The Tourist.
On the small screen, it’s all about ABC’s ‘Modern Family’ (produced by 20th Century Fox) which received a nomination for Best Television Series (Comedy or Musical), Sofia Vergara for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television and Emmy-Award winning Eric Stonestreet for the male counterpart of the same category.
The 68th Annual Golden Globe® Awards will air LIVE coast-to-coast on Sunday, January 16, 2011 on NBC from 5:00-8:00 p.m. (PST) /8:00-11:00 p.m. (EST) from the Beverly Hilton Hotel with host Ricky Gervais.

Report: Disney Drops The 3D Luxo Ball, Fetches ‘Bolt’ and ‘Alice’ Deal with Sony Instead
Very early this year, we reported on a Hollywood Reporter blurb that didn’t seem to catch the eye of most — Disney planned on releasing three Blu-ray 3D titles this year: A Christmas Carol, Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3.
Shortly thereafter it was widely rumored but never substantiated that Disney was considering making Alice in Wonderland a package deal with Sony products. However Sony recently announced and Variety confirms that it will be offering not just Alice in Wonderland as an exclusive bundle with its 3D home theater equipment this fall, but that Disney’s Bolt will also be available exclusively in Blu-ray 3D with Sony. The titles will come alongside purchases of Sony Bravia 3D TVs and — without the assistance of eBay — consumers will be forced to choose between the two. Whether the 3D titles will become available for general purchase in the future is up in the air.

Curiouser and Curiouser: Designer Sees Red, Sues Disney for Green
TMZ is reporting that designer Arman Mkrtchyan has filed a lawsuit in L.A. County Superior Court against The Walt Disney Company on the grounds that his work was used in Walt Disney Studios’ Alice in Wonderland without any compensation. Claiming that the Red Queen’s throne is a virtual clone of his own piece (and that he in fact had designed a matching set, representing each suit), Mkrtchyan is suing Disney for a ‘designer’s fee’ in the amount of $50,000.
If the case does go to trial, don’t anticipate it to be scheduled on the same day the Knave of Hearts is finally brought to justice for stealing tarts.

Disney’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Becomes Sixth Film to Reach $1B in Box Office Sales Worldwide
Tim Burton’s epic fantasy adventure “Disney’s Alice in Wonderland” reached a historic milestone today, passing the $1 billion dollar mark in global box office. “Alice” becomes only the sixth title to join this exclusive list and the third most popular non-sequel in motion picture history behind only “Titanic” and “Avatar.”
“We feel incredibly fortunate to be able to showcase such an amazing 3-D film from visionary director Tim Burton and the creative talents of Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway,” said Rich Ross, Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios. “Our marketing teams joined with our exhibition partners to find every opportunity to bring this creative masterpiece to fans around the world.”
“Alice” began setting records during its opening weekend (March 5-7), becoming the biggest March opening in industry history, the biggest 3-D opening ever and biggest career opening for director Tim Burton. It also became The Walt Disney Studios’ biggest opening for a non-sequel.
Domestically, “Disney’s Alice in Wonderland” has surpassed $332 million at the box office and is officially the third highest-grossing film in The Walt Disney Studios’ history, behind only “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” and “Finding Nemo.” It currently ranks as the 19th most successful film in domestic box office history.
Simultaneously, “Alice” began to conquer audiences around the globe, tallying more than $667 million to date, en route to becoming Disney’s biggest overseas release of all-time. In Japan alone, “Alice” has maintained its #1 position for six weeks, resulting in more than $108 million to date. The United Kingdom added more than $64 million, while France, Russia and Italy all have topped $42 million. Germany , Australia, China and Mexico have surpassed the $30 million mark, while Spain and Brazil’s cumulative totals each exceeded $25 million. The movie continues to entertain theatrical audiences in many countries throughout the world.
Just as the film crosses the $1 billion global theatrical box office threshold, consumers will now be able to own this historic film for themselves. “Disney’s Alice in Wonderland” makes its home entertainment debut as a Disney 3-Disc Blu-ray Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD + Digital Copy), 1-Disc Blu-ray and 1-Disc DVD on Tuesday, June 1, 2010 in North America, China, Mexico and Italy. Availability in other international markets will occur throughout June, July and August starting with Belgium (June 2), the Netherlands (June 2), the United Kingdom (June 4) and Argentina (June 9).
