Although the real question keeping Hollywood awake in 2012 is “Does Winston Wolf clean up dead hookers on Yom Kippur?”, the fine folks over at HitFix have put forth a handful of queries of varying importance which filmmakers, studios and fans might have on their minds this year. It’s their 15 Questions Keeping Hollywood Awake in 2012.

What is Movie News After Dark? It’s a nightly movie news column that has no problem closing out another fine week of coverage. Why?

Frankly, there is no way to respond to this without wanting cause physical injury to someone. But needless to say, it’s a bad idea. In other news, CBS has picked up three more pilots to series including “The 2-2 (formerly known as Rookies) and Unforgettable (formerly known as The Rememberer) and the comedy How To Be a Gentleman” according to TV By The Numbers.
