We hear that rising photo babe Ryan McGinley's been given a plum assignment:
He'll be shooting the famous Oscar portfolio in The New York Times Magazine, which will debut just before the actual Oscars.
The fun part is, Ryan's been booked (and so has a studio in London) but the talent hasn't, at least not officially.
After all, the Oscar nominations won't be unveiled until later this year, though we have a few fashion suspicions - Marion Cotillard is just too good not to get recognized for La Vie En Rose, and writer Tamara Jenkins should get a big spotlight for The Savages.
Hopefully they'll both get their photos taken, and look cool like Kate Moss, left, whom Mr. McGinley shot earlier this year for W...

I love Ryan McGinleys stuff. We had a discussion in my photojournalism (not as cool as photography) class about whether he was the photographer of our generation. My class was horrified that anyone would say that because he always photographs his friends naked and they were "a little shocked" by that. And I was like, "Really? shocked by naked people?" Like I said, photojournalism is not as cool as photography.
