Last month, we tallied the Oscar nominations collected by each of the major agencies. That chart looked like this:

Jared Stern has been hired to write the family comedy “Home Movies” for DreamWorks Studios, with Shawn Levy producing.

The idea was originally hatched inside the studio, and Stern came aboard to help develop and write it. Nash Entertainment’s Bruce Nash and Bob Kosberg are producing with Levy.

It’s here! It’s here!

Let the melodrama commence.

Behold the new “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” trailer, which is heavy on the romantic pining and short on plot or action. Except for one very cool shot of a lady in red curly hair doing one hell of a running jump.

But hurry and get your Edward-Bella-Jacob fix now, because the film doesn’t come out until June 30.

I gotta say, “The Runaways” looks really fun, lurid and trashy in just the right ways. Here’s a music video with Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart cut by the film’s director, Floria Sigismondi.

“Get down ladies, you’ve got nothin’ to lose…”

Edward, Jacob and Bella are back! And then they’re gone.

But not before Taylor Lautner throws out the vaguely hostile line: “I’m gonna fight for you … until your heart stops beating.” Whoa there, fella! Slow down. Nobody needs to, uh, die over this thing.

We’ll have the full trailer for you first thing tomorrow, so just hold on. If you can.

William Morris Endeavor has signed author Nick Hornby as a client for television and film.

Hornby was recently nominated for an adapted screenplay Academy Award for “An Education.” His books include “Fever Pitch,” “High Fidelity” and “About a Boy,” all of which were turned into feature films.

He is also the author of the books “How to Be Good,” “Speaking With the Angel,” “Juliet, Naked” and “A Long Way Down,” which is set up with Johnny Depp’s Infinitum Nihil at Warner Bros.

WME will work closely with Hornby’s U.K. agent, Jenne Casarotto, who will continue to represent him in all areas. He will remain exclusively with his U.K. representation in publishing.

This is the first time Hornby has been represented by a U.S.-based talent agency.

Robert De Niro is running to daylight.

The actor has become attached to play legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi in a biopic being developed by ESPN Films, Andell Entertainment and the NFL. Titled “Lombardi,” the project is being penned by “Forrest Gump” writer Eric Roth.

The film will focus on the years that Lombardi rebuilt the Packers into a gridiron powerhouse, and five-time champions, between 1959-67. The producers plan to release the film in late January 2012, between the AFC and NFC conference championship games and the Super Bowl.

De Niro and Jane Rosenthal’s Tribeca Prods. is producing along with ESPN Films, Andell, the NFL and Chris Olsen.

Juan Jose Campanella’s “The Secret in Their Eyes” (El secreto de sus ojos), which won the Oscar for best foreign-language film Sunday night, will screen at the Miami International Film Festival after its awards ceremony March 13 at the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts. A second screening will be held the following afternoon at Regal Cinemas South Beach.

Last night, “The Daily Show” did a typically brilliant segment conflating the Iraqi parliamentary elections with Oscar night. The second half of this clip, at the Huffington Post, features Jon Oliver giving a hilarious acceptance speech with regard to our involvement in Iraq (and Samantha Bee bullies in right on time).

Every public event has its quirks and misfires, its head-scratching moments and gleeful absurdities. The Oscars inevitably has its share.

And I’d like to take this opportunity to remind you of just how many there were.

Indeed, so much misguided flailing made its way onstage that I have to limit this to just 10 or I’ll still be writing when next year’s ceremony starts.
