Mark Wahlberg takes his Oscar campaign seriously and Jim Wiatt heads back to L.A., while Stephen McPherson mixes it up

As a sign of how serious his Oscar campaign is, the star of The Fighter shot a 60 Minutes segment for later this year, spending four days in his old Boston neighborhood of “Southie” (where his 2006 film The Departed took place) with CBS chief foreign-affairs correspondent and war reporter Lara Logan.
