MARRIAGE LICENSES

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows the debtor to retain certain exempt property, but the debtor’s remaining property is gathered and sold by a trustee from which creditors will receive payment. It may also be used by businesses which wish to terminate their business.

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy enables debtors, through court supervision and protection, to propose and carry out a repayment plan under which creditors are paid, in full or in part, in installments over a three-year period. During that time, debtors are prohibited from starting or continuing collection efforts.

The following bankruptcies declared by Calhoun County residents were recorded by U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Alabama last week:

ARSENIO HALL GARTH BROOKS

LORDE ADELE EXARCHOPOULOS

The breakout stars and comeback kids of 2013 MOVIES Breakouts • Oscar Isaac: For years, this handsome Cuban-Guatemalan actor has been languishing on the sidelines in fizzlers like the Russell Crowe vehicle “Robin Hood” and the little-seen “Agora.” It took the Coen brothers to give Isaac a lead role in a major movie, “Inside Llewyn Davis,” in which he plays — fittingly — an unknown folk singer struggling for recognition.

Isaac has been nominated for a Golden Globe.

• Miles Teller: After playing a party-animal with a nonstop mouth in teen flicks like “Project X” and “21 & Over,” the 26-year-old Teller won critical acclaim for a dramatic role: a party animal with a drinking problem in “The Spectacular Now.” Teller may yet have a serious career ahead, even if he’s returning to type in

next year’s “That Awkward Moment.” He’ll play — guess what? — a party animal with a secret girlfriend.

• Adele Exarchopoulos: The 20-yearold actress with the tricky surname has become a French sensation, winning Cannes’ prestigious Palme d’Or — along with co-star Lea Seydoux and director Abdellatif Keciche — for her role as a young lesbian in the NC-17-rated “Blue Is the Warmest Color.” (Only one woman, Jane Campion, had won the award previously.) Her English may be limited, but she clearly has an eye toward working in Hollywood: She recently confessed that the director she’d most like to work with is Judd Apatow.

Comebacks • Bruce Dern: After 50 years of supporting roles, this familiar character actor is suddenly an A-list star. For his lead performance as an aging father in Alexander

• David Bowie: Everything about Bowie’s impressive year was done in secret. His album “The Next Day,” his first in a decade, was recorded in private, hush-hush sessions and released with little warning and no fanfare. After Bowie’s heart attack in 2004, it wasn’t clear whether he would ever record again, much less create something so impressively forward-looking and memorable.

• Nile Rodgers: The legendary Chic

mastermind and guitarist bounced back from a battle with prostate cancer in 2010 as funky and fine as ever. He was the driving force for Daft Punk’s global smash “Get Lucky” and the standout track “Lose Yourself to Dance.” He set up shop in the Hamptons this summer to work with the hottest EDM artists, including Avicii and David Guetta, on their songs and on some previously unreleased Chic material. This comeback is far from over.

• Garth Brooks: He is certainly a man of his word. Brooks announced in 2001 that he was going to put music on hold to raise his daughters after he divorced their mom. With his youngest daughter set to graduate from high school, Brooks is ready to return to music. He unveiled his well-crafted one-man show, “Blame It All on My Roots,” in Las Vegas and in a CBS special, as well as a new boxed set.

—Glenn Gamboa, Newsday

— always impeccably dressed. Washington’s true breakout year was 2012, with “Django Unchained,” and the April premiere of “Scandal,” but the “breakout” kept on rolling into this one, with a best actress Emmy nomination, a memorable “Saturday Night Live” host outing, and now, household name status.

• Kate McKinnon, Cecily Strong and Vanessa Bayer of “Saturday Night Live”: “SNL” had a historic cast turnover on the eve of its 39th season and yet managed to break out three major cast members — McKinnon, Bayer (“Jacob the Bar Mitzvah Boy”) and new “Weekend Update” KERRY WASHINGTON co-anchor Strong. These three key female players are poised to become major “SNL” stars of the future. peared — returned this year to try to reorder the landscape once again. Whether Comebacks he will ultimately succeed remains to • Arsenio Hall: Gone almost two be seen, but he returned with his charm decades, the late-night host who changed intact, and even managed to put on a late-night TV — then pretty much disap- show that reminded some fans why they

liked him so much in the first place.

• “Homeland”: Hey, it didn’t go anywhere, so how can it “come back”? In fact, “Homeland” crash-landed after a soaring first season. Needed (badly) was a new direction, a reason for being and a gritty new story line that returned the show to its scarily plausible roots. The third season hasn’t been perfect, but there have been enough good episodes to reinforce “must-see” status.

• “All My Children” and “One Life to Live”: It’s up to fans to decide whether their historic revival on Hulu was worth all the trouble, but the revival remains indisputably historic. Beloved soaps simply don’t return after cancellation, but these did. Unfortunately, their first season on Hulu also may be their last. Their production company has yet to confirm reports the revival is kaput, undone by labor disputes and other cost issues.

—Verne Gay, Newsday

Breakouts

TV Breakouts • Netflix: And what a breakout. Three original productions that launched last year (“Arrested Development,” “Hemlock Grove” and “House of Cards”) combined for a total of 14 Emmys; neither “HoC” nor “Development” won for best drama or comedy, respectively, but got Netflix a ticket to the party. Netflix also established a new viewing phenomenon — “bingeing,” or the glutinous consumption of favorite shows hour after hour (after hour). Some series found new converts (and fanatics) via Netflix, most notably “Breaking Bad.” • Kerry Washington and “Scandal”: Who is this wonderwoman, Olivia Pope, who cries bitter tears in one scene and devises plots with steel-hearted resolve the next? She is hot and cold, fire and ice

Payne’s “Nebraska,” Dern won best actor at Cannes and has been strolling various red carpets ever since. It’s clearly an Oscar campaign, and a win would be the first for the 77-year-old. He was nominated once, for 1978’s “Coming Home.” two biggest hits — Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines” and Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” — as well as producing and performing on albums from Jay Z, 2 Chainz and even The Lonely Island. He also found time to put out some work of his own, including an impressive 24-hour-long video for “Happy,” his theme from the animated film “Despicable Me 2.”

MUSIC • Macklemore & Ryan Lewis: The Seattle duo turned mainstream hip-hop upside down this year by challenging the genre’s deeply ingrained themes and still keeping things fun. “Thrift Shop” became an anti-bling anthem, while setting the scene for “Same Love,” which eloquently advocated for equal rights for same-sex couples. They were rewarded with No. 1 hits and a boatload of major Grammy nominations.

• Lorde: The teenage sensation from New Zealand proudly came from nowhere to one of the year’s biggest hits, “Royals,” by tapping into the disconnect between the lifestyles glamorized in pop culture and teenage reality. Her debut, “Pure Heroine,” continued poking holes in the illu-

ROBERT REDFORD

• Jared Leto: The actor-rocker has recently turned down roles to focus on his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars. This year, however, he returned to the screen in a big way with “Dallas Buyers Club.”

Leto’s portrayal of Rayon, a transgender woman living with AIDS during the mid1980s, is rightly being hailed as one of the year’s best performances. So, what about the band? As it happens, its tour schedule has a conspicuous lull around March 2 — Oscar Sunday.

• Robert Redford: The 77-year-old didn’t just carry a movie this year, he did so single-handedly: He’s the only actor in “All Is Lost,” a drama about a sailor stranded in the Indian Ocean. The result has been glowing reviews and strong Oscar buzz. Redford won a statue for directing 1980’s “Ordinary People,” but an acting nomination would be his first since 1974, when he was up for “The Sting.”

—Rafer Guzman, Newsday

Comebacks MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS sion, declaring in her deep, warm voice, “I’m tired of putting my hands up in the air. So there.”

• Pharrell: So what didn’t Pharrell do this year? He was involved in the summer’s
