Casey Affleck Photos & Pics Archive

First Casey followed his big bro Ben into acting, and now it appears he's taking on directing as well!

Casey was in Vegas last weekend to shoot a documentary about another famous little brother: Joaquin Phoenix.

The project is supposed to be chronicling the Oscar nominated actor's transition to rap super-star, but after viewing Joaquin's performance, we're kinda hoping it's just a segment for Punk'd!

In case you missed Joaquin's stunning (and not in a good way) peformance over the weekend, we're reposting here:

Casey Affleck is set to document Joaquin Phoenix's attempt to reinvent himself as a rapper.

Affleck is directing a feature-length documentary about his friend's transition from life as an actor to that of a musician, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Phoenix, who shocked Hollywood with the news he was giving up acting, is working on an album with Sean Combs. His first performance is scheduled for tonight in Las Vegas.

Affleck has previously directed several short films that have aired on the Sundance Channel.

And where was Summer?

The nominees for the SAG awards were announced this morning!

With the Writers Guild Strike leading to awards ceremonies being picketed left and right (which means there will be several celebs who refuse to cross the picket line), it's entirely possible that the SAG Awards (who earned an exemption from the writers' wrath through their unwavering support) might be the biggest awards show this year.

Fortunately for fans of celebs, the Screen Actors picked out some big names for noms - in addition to Angelina Jolie (nominated for best actress for A Mighty Heart), the Guild also singled out:

George Clooney's portrayl of Michael Clayton in Michael Clayton earned him a nod from the SAGsters

The Sopranos may be over - but James Gandolfini's still getting recognized for his portrayl of Tony Soprano!
