    LOS ANGELES --

    Actor Jane Lynch will return to host the 67th Annual DGA Awards for the second year in a row.

    “She’s back, we’ve got her, and we couldn’t be more pleased,” said DGA President Paris Barclay.  “Last year, Jane gave us a taste of her smart, stinging wit, and we loved it.  We want more and we’re thrilled she’s agreed to come back.”

    Jane Lynch cut her theatrical teeth at The Second City, Steppenwolf Theatre and in many church basements all over the greater Chicago-land area, helping her become the comedic talent she is today.  She is perhaps best known for her role as the iconic Sue Sylvester on Glee, for which she has earned an Emmy, a SAG Award, and a Golden Globe.  Some of her other recent television credits include Party Down, Lovespring, Desperate Housewives, Weeds, The L Word, and recurring roles on Two and a Half Men, Criminal Minds and The New Adventures of Old Christine.  She also hosted the 63rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

    Lynch has been seen (and heard) in over 40 feature films, recently including Escape from Planet Earth, Rio, Three Stooges, Wreck-It Ralph, Julie & Julia, and Shrek Forever After.  Highlights of her past film work include For Your Consideration, A Mighty Wind and Best in Show, as well as memorable roles in Space Chimps, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Walk Hard, Talladega Nights, The 40-Year Old Virgin, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events and Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. 

    Lynch performed two years ago in the Broadway production of Annie as Miss Hannigan, and in addition to her current role on Glee, Lynch hosts game show Hollywood Game Night, which was recently renewed for a third season and for which Lynch won another Emmy as Outstanding Host.  Lynch’s 2011 autobiography Happy Accidents topped the national best seller lists.

    The 67th Annual DGA Awards will take place on Saturday, February 7, 2015 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

    Anthony Head, the suave, smooth-voiced British actor known for roles in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Ted Lasso," has died, his family said Friday. He was 72.

    Head's daughters, actors Emily and Daisy Head, told the Press Association news agency that the actor passed away due to complications from pneumonia.

    The stage and TV performer became well known to British audiences in the 1980s as one half of a will-they, won't-they romantic couple in a series of ads for Nescafe Gold Blend instant coffee. The ads were later re-shot for a U.S. audience for Taster's Choice.

    Head achieved wider fame as librarian Rupert Giles, mentor to the title character in the cult-favorite supernatural series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," which ran from 1997 to 2003.

    He most recently played Rupert Mannion, the villainous ex-husband of Hannah Waddingham's character Rebecca, in "Ted Lasso."

    "Our grief is far greater than the hole he has left behind, but we know his legacy will live on, in the shows he was a part of, and in the audiences that love them," his daughters said. "How lucky we are to know we are able to watch him doing what he loved, even when he is no longer with us."

    Head was born in London on Feb. 20, 1954 to Seafield Head, a documentary filmmaker, and Helen Shingler, an actor. His older brother, Murray, is also an actor.

    Other notable roles included playing Geoffrey Howe, the deputy to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, played by Meryl Streep, in the Oscar-winning "The Iron Lady."

    Head portrayed a prime minister himself in the sketch comedy show "Little Britain," as well as King Uther Pendragon, the father of Prince Arthur, in the "Merlin" TV series. He also appeared in "Motherland," Manchild," and "Silent Witness," along... Read More
