1, 2012 1:52pm

Philip Seymour Hoffman leads a group of Oscar-nominated heavyweights in the nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role at Broadway’s Tony Awards.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Oscar-winner for his turn in “Capote,” stars in Broadway’s revival of “Death of a Salesman.” His fellow nominees include “Frost/Nixon” star Frank Langella (for “Man and Boy”), TV giant John Lithgow (for “The Columnist”) and the inimitable golden-voiced James Earl Jones (Gore Vidal’s “The Best Man”).

Announced this morning, the Best Actress category features “Sex and the City’s” Cynthia Nixon (for “Wit”) and Stockard Channing (“Other Desert Cities”). David Alan Grier receives a nomination for Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” and “The Amazing Spider-Man’s” own webbed-one, Andrew Garfield, received a nomination for Best Performance by an Actor in a Featured Role in a Play for his work alongside Seymour Hoffman in “Death of a Salesman” also.

Ultimate Photo Gallery of the London Film Festival (Clooney! Keibler! Madonna! Belafonte! Freida Pinto! Evan Rachel Wood!)

The stars turned out in force last week for the 55th BFI London Film Festival currently taking place through October 27 in and around the Old Dart across the pond. While some huge films and mega-wattage celebs are still to walk the red carpet, the attendance thus far has been a little blinding.

George Clooney walked “The Ides of March” red carpet supported by new girlfriend Stacy Keibler, Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman and Evan Rachel Wood; he then walked the carpet again with Shailene Woodley for “The Descendants.” Madonna was supported by her actors and fashion designer legend Valentino for her directorial effort on “W.E.” – support she definitely needed after reportedly bearing the brunt of a booing crowd. The ever gorgeous Freida Pinto lit up the room for Michael Winterbottom’s film “Trishna,” and young Olsen sister Elizabeth Olsen continues to shine on the carpet for “Martha Marcy May Marlene.” Naked Chef Jamie Oliver came out to see “Wild Bill” and Harry Belafonte was also in attendance, supporting the new documentary about his legacy.

Check out the twenty-five selections in the gallery below, and check back in for MORE select pics from the London Film Festival posting tomorrow!

With all the magazine covers and articles, and all the snaparazzi photographs, it’s great to see Brad Pitt get a chance to chat for a change.

So, enjoy the video (courtesy of Sony Pictures) of Brad Pitt talking about “Moneyball,” about what it means to be back in the ballpark in which they shot and about director Bennett Miller at the premiere of the film in Oakland.

Also, see below for the video footage of Jonah Hill and Philip Seymour Hoffman. Directed by Hoffman’s “Capote” director, the actor portrays Art Howe, the old school manager of the Oakland A’s baseball club from 1996-2002. While Hill portrays the statistician at the Oakland A’s baseball club upon whom Pitt’s character relies for a partnership that changed the game of baseball behind the scenes.
