Don’t you just hate when famous people sit around and feel sorry for themselves? Alec Baldwin says his movie career is such a failure that he’s retiring in 2012, claiming he doesn’t have any interest in acting anymore and that he’s young enough that he could do something else. He's been nominated for Golden Globes , Screen Actors Guild Awards , an Academy Award , received several Emmy nominations and even wins for his work on his hit tv show " 30 Rock ," and is already garnering some [...]
The Academy has announced its 10 semi-finalists in the animated short film category and this year you might be able to watch all of them before the ceremony. Most have probably seen Partly Cloudy , which played in theaters before Pixar's Up . Click here to view the embedded video. I know most people don't care about the short films because probably 90% of the population never gets to see them and have to rely on journalists or bloggers to write about [...]

Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will host the Oscars . Sure, why not? I really don't have strong feelings about this one way or the other. Generally, as a rule, I prefer one person to host an event like this. Actually, with the revolving cast of hosts over the past few years, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I sort of miss Billy Crystal.
Kristen Stewart 's fans believe the actress should be nominated for an Oscar. The Cake Eaters blog is rallying to bring Kristen Stewart’s performance in The Cake Eaters wider recognition. They hope this then leads to an Oscar nomination for Kristen Stewart. As much as I can appreciate their loyalty and support - I don't see this happening. The [...]
i think i might be sticking with the shorter charts for a little bit because i can't buy as much music as i'd like right now. the poll results were pretty interesting... i think these tunes will feed that yearning desire for some good fucking techno. motor city drum ensemble - raw cuts #5 / raw cuts 5 & 6 / faces records mr. belk - something to talk about (original mix) / teamwork vol. 1 / ? oscar - departure (alternative [...]

The Swell Season , the Oscar-winning duo of Frames frontman Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova , are putting the finishing touches on 'Strict Joy,' (Sept 29, 2009 / Anti- Records), the follow-up to their beloved, surprise hit 2007 film and gold-certified soundtrack 'Once.' The twelve new, original songs on 'Strict Joy' were recorded last year and document a time of great change and tumult. Buy Music: The Swell Season on amazon.com [...]
The people who arrange the Oscars have come up with a startling idea: They're not going to give a prize for the best song any more, unless there's a pretty good song . This does raise some problems, though, surely - if they do decide to give a prize one year because there is a good song, how do they do a shortlist? Will they have to grudgingly pretend songs that would normally be ignored are good enough to pretend it's a real competition? Or will they just give it the prize without any hoo-hah? [...]
When the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced last week that the nomination field for Best Picture would be expanded to 10 nominees , I joked to some friends that the corresponding move of eliminating the Best Original Song category would be removed "to save time in the broadcast, and also because it's really hard to get people to agree on nominating a song not by Randy Newman." Turns out my gallowsish humor wasn't that far off, according to a report in Variety -new rules for the category will tweak its already-limiting mathematical formula in [...]
The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences already announced one major change this week: they are doubling the amount of films nominated for Best Picture from five to 10. When I heard the news, my first thought was that instead of feeling confounded as to why three of the five movies were nominated, I would now scratch my head over at least seven or eight of them. Does this mean that The Hangover will get an Oscar nod? One can only hope. I can't help but feel cynical and think that it's merely the Academy's [...]

Just as this was not a good idea, this is also not a good idea. Oscar Changes Things Up By Nominating 10 For Best Picture [The Wrap] ... Continue reading "Oh Good, Now Jonas Brothers: The 3-D Experience Has A Shot" >
Luckily it's only for the Best Picture category , but it still means the awards show will run waaaay to long and people will still not care. It also means that ever Holocaust related film in any given year stands a good chance to get nominated. I give this experiment a year before it gets scrapped. Terrible idea on every level.
This is a boom time for indie filmmakers. With consumer cameras increasing in quality and production costs dropping, the indie filmmaker is very lucky Fritz Godard is here to crack the code on just how to engineer an independent film. It’s important for Hollywood to keep filmmaking on a tight leash and keep the club exclusive. With this formula, any indie filmmaker-no check that-any filmmaker can put out a film that will have Hollywood executives pre-writing their Oscar acceptance speech. First thing necessary is to change the idea of an “indie film” from a [...]

I'm a big fan of Bollywood (or "filmi") music, so I was intrigued (and admittedly a bit incredulous) when I heard that the Pussycat Dolls were recording a version of A.R. Rahman 's Oscar-winning " Jai Ho " (from the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack ). Now [...]
Before seeing them live later that evening at Les Nuits Botanique, I had a short interview with Oscar from Metronomy (he's the one with the crazy dance moves & second from the right on the picture). Before you read any further, there's probably something you should know. The main man behind Metronomy is basically Joseph Mount but to bring their music live he had two companions, Oscar & Gabriel. Recently though, Gabriel decided to leave the band and focus fully on Your Twenties , which is his own band. This is what we talked about: [...]
![Okuribito (Departures), [Japan], Yôjirô Takita, [2008], *1/2](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1733960_lg.jpg)
Η ταινία του Takita ήταν μία από αυτές που περίμενα να δω εδώ και καιρό, λόγω του εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέροντος θέματός της, και παρά το Oscar ξένης ταινίας που κέρδισε, το οποίο συνήθως σε προδιαθέτει κάπως αρνητικά για το τι πρόκειται να δεις. Η ιστορία ενός άνδρα λοιπόν, ο οποίος αφήνει το Τόκυο και επιστρέφει στο πατρικό του σπίτι όπου οι συνθήκες τον αναγκάζουν να ακολουθήσει ένα επάγγελμα όχι και τόσο to die for [pun intended]. Ο φίλος μας λοιπόν προετοιμάζει τους νεκρούς για την ταφή, σε μια ειδική παραδοσιακή τελετή, μπροστά στα αγαπημένα του πρόσωπα.. [...]
