Thanks to a huge Mother's Day bump, documentary Babies opened to $2.16 million, which represented the highest-grossing limited opening in over a year and a half. Holdovers City Island, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Secret in Their Eyes continued their decent limited runs, but new release Mother and Child was so-so and Casino Jack and the United States of Money failed to extort much cash from audiences in its debut. Distributor Focus Features' marketing positioned Babies as a M... |

The Oscar winner was out last Friday taking a hike in Northern California. In our photo -- drinking coffee and wearing a hat, with a scarf around her neck -- the star looked somber despite the occasional smile, wearing barely any makeup.

This is in contrast to happier times when she proudly wore her wedding jewelry. Even on Oscar night, despite wearing minimal jewelry, she did wear the diamonds on her wedding finger. |

The ball went sailing while the buzzer went off. Where it landed would be the difference between a shining moment for one team, a tearstained loss for another.
