After each movie <a href="http://oscarawardslive.blogspot.com/2010/02/avatar-and-hurt-locker-top-oscar-2010.html">topping the nominations</a> with nine nods last Tuesday.<br /><br />James Cameron's "Avatar", the most expensive movie ever made and the highest grossing film of all time, picked up a slew of nominations including best picture and best director.<br /><br />Low budget "The Hurt Locker" directed by Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow, also earned nine nods including best director, best picture, best actor and best original screenplay. 'Avatar' and 'Hurt Locker': the Oscars odd couple<br /><br />Bigelow is only the fourth woman ever to be nominated for directing and the first since Sofia Coppola received a nod for "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Lost in Translation</span>" in 2003. No woman director has ever won the Oscars top prize.<br /><br />However "The Hurt Locker," a tense thriller about a US army bomb disposal squad operating in Iraq, has emerged as the favorite to land the Oscars top best picture prize when the 82nd Academy Awards are presented on March 7.<br /><br />Although it has earned only 16 million dollars at the box office around 125 times less than "Avatar". Bigelow's film has won a host of awards regarded as reliable indicators of likely Oscars success.<br /><br />This year's best picture race was expanded to 10 films by the Academy in a move analysts said was intended to boost television ratings for the awards show. It is the first time since 1943 when "Casablanca" won best picture that so many films have been nominated in the category.<br /><br />While "The Hurt Locker" has nominations spread across various spheres, most of "Avatar's" nods are in technical categories, reflecting the film's groundbreaking 3-D visual effects.<br /><br />Vying for the best picture race alongside "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Avatar</span>" and "<span style="font-weight: bold;">The Hurt Locker</span>" are Quentin Tarantino's bloody World War II revenge film "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Inglourious Basterds,</span>" which weighed in with eight nominations. List of major 82nd Academy Awards nominees<br /><br />It was followed by the independent "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Precious</span>," about the struggles of an illiterate abused teenager, which scored six nominations, including best picture and best director.<br /><br />Other films in the best picture race include "<span style="font-weight: bold;">District 9</span>," South African director Neill Blomkamp's dazzling science-fiction film about aliens stranded in a Johannesburg township, and "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Up</span>," Pixar's charming animated film about a crotchety widower who ties balloons to his house and floats to South America.<br /><br />It is only the second time that an animated film has made it into the best picture race following Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" in 1992.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">source: news.yahoo.com</span><br /></div>propinoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12695655783952535351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886223528986062825.post-60223203495499245622010-02-02T22:37:00.005+08:002010-02-05T15:54:40.576+08:00Oscar Nominees 2010 | 82nd Academy Awards Full List Nominees<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://oscarawardslive.blogspot.com/2010/02/oscar-nominees-2010-82nd-academy-awards.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Oscar Nominees 2010 -

The announcement was held at the academy's Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, with last year's lead actress nominee Anne Hathaway helping Oscar president Tom Sherak with the announcements.<br /><br />James Cameron's <span style="font-weight: bold;">Avatar</span>, the highest grossing film of all time and the winner of two Golden Globes, is a near-certainty for awards in the technical categories while <span style="font-weight: bold;">The Hurt Locker,</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Up In The Air </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Precious</span>: Based on the novel Push by Sapphire were unsurprisingly shortlisted in multiple categories.<br /><br />The nominations made pleasant reading for British actors and filmmakers with Colin Firth up for the best actor Oscar for A Single Man. Rising star Carey Mulligan is nominated for the best actress Oscar alongside Dame Helen Mirren for The Last Station while there are also nominations in the best adapted screenplay category for the writers of In the Loop and An Education.<br /><br />The <span style="font-weight: bold;">2010 Oscars</span> will be presented on March 7th at Los Angeles' Kodak Theatre.<br /><br />Watch Live Oscar Nominnation 2010 Announcement Video<span style="font-weight: bold;"> <a href="http://www.e-livestream.com/entertainment-awards/watch-oscar-nominations-2010-live-announcement-online-video-streaming/">here</a></span>.<br /><br /></div><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>propinoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12695655783952535351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886223528986062825.post-13688611045203748662009-05-06T09:37:00.003+08:002009-05-06T09:45:19.509+08:00MTV award nominees are Twilight and Slumdog<div style="text-align: justify;">The vampire blockbuster took the lead with seven nominations and the Oscar-winning Indian romance received six, MTV announced Monday. Both popular movies were nominated for best film. This year's<span style="font-weight: bold;"> <a href="http://oscarawardslive.blogspot.com/2009/05/mtv-award-nominees-are-twilight-and.html">MTV Movie Awards</a> </span>will be between <span style="font-weight: bold;">Twilight</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">Slumdog Millionaire.</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />"Slumdog" star Dev Patel and "Twilight" vampire Robert Pattinson are both nominated for the <span style="font-weight: bold;">male breakthrough performance award</span>. The other contenders are Ben Barnes ("The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian"), Bobb'e J. Thompson ("Role Models") and Pattinson's "Twilight" co-star Taylor Lautner.<br /><br />Mark Burnett, who produces the freewheeling ceremony, said either film has a great chance of winning best picture.<br /><br />"Twilight" has "certainly touched a part of America and young girls are totally in love with what the movie stands for and (with) romance," Burnett said in an interview. "On the other hand, I have to say, all of my kids loved `<span style="font-weight: bold;">Slumdog Millionaire</span>.' There's just something so uplifting about what that movie stands for."<br /><br />Other nominated movies include "Iron Man," "The Dark Knight" and "High School Musical 3: Senior Year."<br /><br />Kate Winslet, who won an Oscar for her dramatic role in "The Reader," is up for best female performance, along with Angelina Jolie ("Wanted"), Anne Hathaway ("Bride Wars"), Kristen Stewart ("Twilight") and Taraji P. Henson ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button").<br /><br />Nominees for <span style="font-weight: bold;">best male performance</span> are Christian Bale ("The Dark Knight"), Robert Downey Jr. ("Iron Man"), Shia LaBeouf ("Eagle Eye"), Vin Diesel ("Fast & Furious") and "High School Musical" heartthrob Zac Efron.<br /><br />Efron's co-star (and girlfriend) Vanessa Hudgens will challenge Miley Cyrus for the breakthrough performance female award. Their competition includes "Slumdog" beauty Freida Pinto and Ashley Tisdale, another "HSM" star.<br /><br />The golden popcorn trophy for best kiss _ one of the event's signature unconventional categories _ could be handed to one of six big-screen duos, including Efron and Hudgens, Pinto and Patel, Stewart and Pattinson, or Sean Penn and James Franco, who co-starred in "Milk."<br /><br />Ledger, who won a posthumous Oscar for his menacing performance as the Joker in "The Dark Knight," is also nominated in the best villain category.<br /><br />MTV usually introduces a new category or two each year: This year, a golden popcorn will be awarded to the "<span style="font-weight: bold;">best song from a movie</span>." The nominees are Cyrus' "The Climb" (from the new "Hannah Montana" film); the "Twilight" song "Decode" by Paramore; the "Slumdog" anthem "Jai Ho"; and the Bruce Springsteen ballad "The Wrestler" from the movie starring Mickey Rourke.<br /><br />Votes can be cast online at <span style="font-weight: bold;">MTV's Web </span>site through May 27 for all categories except best movie. MTV said voting in that category remains open until May 31, when the show will air live from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif. "Saturday Night Live" star Andy Samberg is the host.<br /><br />Burnett said the key to a successful movie-awards show is to let awkward moments pan out.

The collective subject matter was so bleak that host Jon Stewart was inspired to say of "Juno," the one comedy: "Thank goodness for teen pregnancy!"<br /><br />This year's host, Hugh Jackman, had no such trouble. He presided over a show filled with Cinderella themes both fictional and real-life. And none was more poignant than that of the night's big winner, "Slumdog Millionaire," with its story of love triumphing over desperate poverty, criminality and pure evil.<br /><br />Lost on no one at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre, of course, was the Cinderella-like story of the movie itself, which nearly became a victim of the tanking economy and was headed for a direct-to-DVD release before News Corp.'s Fox Searchlight stepped in to distribute it.<br /><br />And there were the many personal stories of those involved in the film. As the cast stood onstage after winning the best picture award, the cameras focused briefly on a beatifically smiling Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, 10, one of the children who'd been whisked to the Oscars from a desperately poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Mumbai, where he lives in a lean-to made of plastic tarpaulins and blankets. One can only imagine how the moment must have felt for his friends and family back home.<br /><br />It fell to Simon Beaufoy, who won for the film's adapted screenplay, to make the link between our troubled times and the film's appeal.<br /><br />"It's come out at a time when the value of money, which has been raised to this extraordinary height, is suddenly being shown to be a kind of very shallow thing," Beaufoy said. "The financial markets are crashing around the world, and a film comes out which is ostensibly about being a millionaire. Actually ... it's a film that says there's more important things than money: love, faith and family."<br /><br />It was a different family -- that of the late Heath Ledger -- that brought tears to many eyes in the most emotional moment of the ceremony, no less affecting because it was expected: Ledger's posthumous Oscar for his diabolical Joker in "The Dark Knight."<br /><br />The entire theater rose along with Ledger's relatives to pay tribute to this deeply talented actor who died last year at age 28, of an accidental prescription drug overdose. They heard his father express how much Ledger would have wanted to be there.<br /><br />"This award tonight would have humbly validated Heath's quiet determination to be truly accepted by all you here tonight, his peers within an industry he so loved," said Kim Ledger, Heath Ledger's father.<br /><br />The moment was lacking only one thing: A look back at Ledger's stunning work as the Joker. The new format for the acting awards, with five former winners paying tribute to nominees in short speeches, may have added some touching moments -- Shirley MacLaine telling Anne Hathaway that she had a great future was one of them -- but it took away the film clips, an omission some found glaring.<br /><br />"You've got all these wonderful images -- so let's see this stuff on screen!" said Jonathan Kuntz, a historian at UCLA's film school. "They could have done a better job selling their films by actually showing them. Not everyone has seen these movies."<br /><br />The ratings support that view -- bigger and more mainstream movies always draw higher Oscar ratings, and though viewership was up by more than 4 million this year, at 36.3 million, there are still only two Oscar telecasts on record with fewer viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research.<br /><br />Last year, when "No Country For Old Men" won best picture, the telecast was seen by 32 million people, the lowest on record. The 2003 telecast, with "Chicago" as the best picture winner, was seen by 33 million.<br /><br />But back to the sweet moments, which came in some unexpected places. Certainly there was no Cinderella story in "The Reader," the tale of an unrepentant Nazi guard played by Kate Winslet.<br /><br />But Winslet's win was touching nonetheless -- the popular British actress had been nominated five times previously with no success.<br /><br />Thanking her parents for their faith in her, she called out, "Dad, whistle or something 'cause then I'll know where you are." And Roger Winslet whistled back -- heartily, for the world to hear.<br /><br />Unlike the genial Winslet, Sean Penn is known for a somewhat prickly presence. But in keeping with the night, the best actor winner for "Milk" seemed a little, well, softer around the edges, virtually apologizing for some of his trademark brashness.<br /><br />"I want it to be very clear that I do know how hard I make it to appreciate me, often," Penn said, to laughter. He went on to make a passionate plea for legalization of same-sex marriages.<br /><br />Penn's portrayal of slain gay rights leader Harvey Milk was striking partly because the character was so much sweeter -- and full of smiles -- than many he's played before. His performance was so convincing that it gave Penn's friend, Robert DeNiro, one of the night's best comic lines.<br /><br />"How did he do it?" DeNiro asked as he introduced Penn in the best actor category. "How for so many years did Sean Penn get all those jobs playing straight men?"<br /><br />But for lines that epitomized the feel-good nature of the 81st Academy Awards, one could do no better than 43-year-old Indian composer A.R. Rahman, who won Oscars for both original soundtrack and original song from "Slumdog Millionaire."<br /><br />source: <a href="http://www.oscar.com/" rel="nofollow">oscar.com</a><br /><br /></div>propinoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12695655783952535351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886223528986062825.post-39318191920949421582009-03-10T16:09:00.002+08:002009-03-10T16:16:29.083+08:0081st Annual Academy Awards 2009 - The Oscars Red Carpet Photos<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />81st Annual Academy Awards 2009 - <a href="http://oscarawardslive.blogspot.com/2009/03/81st-annual-academy-awards-2009-oscars.html">The Oscars Red Carpet Photos</a></span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9p2CTZFqZeozs-ndymABalre89aGwn2jTGkjPEDFUqZK6PcPE0Vu8Let4M1iWfb7YA_Rg8yZFqtgb1pJochuPEFKqn8j0GmAbL0G0M8-WZL1P5ghfdJpUlzfFuQ9euHmKnJjP0VSrJHM/s1600-h/Alicia+Keys.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Both in the actors and actresses categories, no one has emerged as the clear favorite this year. Not only because of their equally good performances but also because the different award giving organizations have proclaimed different winners in the past month or so. But expect the names of Meryl Streep, Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie to be read from the 2009 Oscar nominations list later today. The same goes for Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke. I am also expecting a nomination for Heath Ledger for The Dark Knight.</span><br /><span class="fullpost"></span><br /></div>propinoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12695655783952535351noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7886223528986062825.post-31259088547949353472009-02-10T16:28:00.004+08:002009-02-10T16:41:28.401+08:00Watch 81st Annual Academy Awards Ceremony Live<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><a href="http://oscarawardslive.blogspot.com/2009/02/watch-81st-annual-academy-awards.html"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Watch The 81st Annual Academy Awards Ceremony Live</span></a> on Sunday, February 22, 2009, 5 pm , at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, California.

Since the first year the awards have been publicly broadcast, at first by radio then by TV after 1953. During the first decade the results were given to newspapers for publication at 11 p.m. at the night of the awards; this method was ruined when the Los Angeles Times announced the winners before the ceremony began, as a result the Academy has since used a sealed envelope to reveal the name of the winners. Since 2002, the awards have been broadcast from the Kodak Theatre.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />prizes given annually in the United States by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for excellence in the creation and production of motion pictures. First presented in 1929 for films shown in 1927 and 1928, the Academy Awards, commonly known as Oscars, are among the film industry’s most coveted prizes.<br /><br />The entire academy membership participates in voting for the annual awards. In most award categories, a maximum of five entrants are first nominated by the academy members who work in that particular field (that is, actors select actors, directors select directors, and so on). From among these nominees all academy members select the winners by secret ballot. The winners are publicly announced at a formal ceremony each spring. One hour of the 1929 awards ceremony was broadcast on the radio, and from 1944 through 1969 the entire ceremony was broadcast. Television broadcasts began in 1953 and today attract a worldwide audience. Various people claim to have given the name Oscar to the symbolic statuette presented to winners, including actor Bette Davis, academy librarian Margaret Herrick, and columnist Sidney Skolsky. But the origin of the name has never been definitively determined. The gold-plated bronze human figure, which is 34.3 cm (13.5 in) high and weighs 3.9 kg (8.5 lb), was created by American sculptor George Stanley based on sketches made by American motion-picture art director Cedric Gibbons.<br /><br /><a href="http://oscarawardslive.blogspot.com/2009/02/watch-81st-annual-academy-awards.html">Awards</a> are given for best motion picture; foreign-language film; performances by male and female actors in both leading and supporting roles; achievement in direction; screenplays, both original and adapted from previously produced or published material; and scores and songs composed for films.
