OSCARS 2009

From Oscars 2009

Here is the Official list of Winners and the respective nominees on different categories of recently concluded Academy Awards 2009 which took place on Monday!

"On what we all knew was going to be a Slumdog night, it appeared that there would be no real surprises (unless you count Israel’s Waltz with Bashir losing to Japan’s Departures in the best foreign language category). Until, that is, Sean Penn won the award that was seemingly destined to be Mickey Rourke’s, for best actor. Both stars were certainly worthy, but according to that Oscar calculus which settles ties by choosing the actor who has been around the block but hasn’t collected a piece of hardware (and, in Rourke’s case, is fairly unlikely ever to be nominated again), it was at least a mild upset that the man who played Randy the Ram didn’t get the gold statue, especially considering his Golden Globe award and the massive wave of press attention given to his performance and its real-life parallels (even Nate Silver, everyone’s favorite predictions guru, whiffed on this one, as well as on best supporting actress). Perhaps Academy voters just weren’t interested in hearing another mumbled eulogy to all of Rourke’s dogs, but it was a shame to be deprived of the actor’s sublime weirdness on the Oscar stage, and for anyone who wanted to see Rourke win, Penn’s singling out of his peer at the end of his acceptance speech was a wan sort of consolation prize.

Despite the (relative) lack of surprises, the 81st Oscar ceremony was more engaging and entertaining than in recent years. Given the times, Hugh Jackman’s vaudevillian, sui generis turn as host felt like an appropriate replacement for Jon Stewart’s acerbic presenting style, and changes to the night’s format were (mostly) welcome. In particular, the decision to bring out five past winners to present the nominees in the acting categories nicely served to personalize the awards people care most about, ensure that all the nominees were recognized, and wrap up the proceedings in the full weight of Oscar history. (Meanwhile, the decision to sandwich the best actress and actor awards between best director and best picture, no doubt motivated by a desire to separate two awards that usually go to the same film, felt jarring.) Heath Ledger’s moment was touching, though a touch anticlimactic coming more than a year after his death, especially considering the crushing inevitability of the award. The more poignant moment involved another joker, the great Jerry Lewis, who won this year’s lifetime achievement honor, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award; though clearly impaired a litany of health concerns, the 82-year-old comic was still able to flash one of his instantly recognizable, endearingly pathetic dunce grins after finishing his mercifully brief speech.

Sean Penn provided one of the evening’s most heartfelt moments when he turned his acceptance into a plea to end the bigotry which led to the passing of Proposition 8 in California just as Milk hit theaters (a plea later echoed by Penn). The irrepressible Petit celebrated by making a coin disappear before the eyes of the Kodak Theater audience, then balancing the Oscar statuette on his nose. In vastly different but equally indelible ways, each brought a bit of magic to the movies in 2008." - VMAN

The true search!

Searching for a pair of new jeans can be tedious our own fetchie, Marius retells his experience;

Having dropped a fairly decent amount of weight, I decided to go in for a new pair of jeans. Also, my faithful pair of blindingly black Kenneth Coles had finally fallen apart, and while the farewell was emotionally charged, much to the amazement of my room-mate, I found myself looking forward making the acquaintance of a new pair.

My search began where all valiant, sartorial quests begin: the mall. With long, determined strides and my handkerchief to my nose, did I march right past Hollister, Aeropostale, Abercrombie & Fitch and Hot Topic. Macy's! Yes! That was where this quest would find fruition. Or so I thought. Macy's and it's sad little racks of sad looking Guess! jeans was a major disappointment. Don't get me wrong, I love Guess! But this particular assortment just seemed so woe-begone that I simply had to leave! Dejected, I placed my person upon a bench and carefully sipped my Orange Julius Pina Colada. This was a disaster! I was to return empty handed! Sure, the rest of the evening would be uneventful! I'd play a little Russian Roulette with my Organic Chemistry text- a game that would end at an impasse, maybe do coffee with a friend, think about my Shakespeare paper *sigh*, all of this while living with the realization that I had failed! No jeans for me! It was my darkest sartorial hour (barring the time S and I flirted with hideous grape-colored T-shirts but that was all in jest...) and suddenly the sun emerged almost defiantly...

I think it was the strains of 'Shut Up and Let Me Go' that caught my attention. I followed the music, as if entranced and found myself standing right in front of 'Express'. Oh fortunate sight! The store, with its sculpted letters, enthralling clothes and a staff that wore all-black (in the classiest possible sense) seemed to beckon me! Who was I to resist? Express: home of the 1MX shirt was the best thing that could have happened to me! How did I get through high-school without this place?! Trendy, stylishly patterned dress-shirts, ties so staid but wait! Is that a skull? How clever! And jeans! I began doing that one dance we've all mastered: the Attendant Two-Step. One-small talk-two-help me-one-measure me-two-find what I need-and a one...My partners were exceedingly skilled, I tell you! I was finally home! European sensibilities fused with American chutzpah create clothes that urge you to feel young and come alive!

I left with pair of black Rocco’s that do fantastic things for my height and...other things! Shopping at Express was like being a part of a particular cheeky production of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream': it's Shakespeare but it winks at you and urges you to 'imagine all the girls ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah....'

Until the next time,
Marius.

The CW bites!

The CW is looking to take a bite out of the vampire craze, picking up a pilot based on the "Vampire Diaries" series of books.
"Vampire Diaries" comes from Alloy Entertainment, the same shingle whose past book series led to the Dub's series "Gossip Girl" and "Privileged."
Originally published in 1993 -- which, as the CW took pains to note, was years before Stephenie Meyer launched her "Twilight" book franchise -- "Vampire Diaries" revolves around a young woman who's torn between two vampire brothers -- one good, one evil -- who are battling for her soul, and the souls of her pals, family and the small town where they live.

The CW has reunited with "Scream," "I Know What You Did Last Summer" and "Dawson's Creek" scribe Kevin Williamson, who last produced "Hidden Palms" for the net, to exec produce and write. Julie Plec ("Kyle XY") is also on board to write and exec produce.
Warner Bros. TV, where Alloy (which owns the rights to "Vampire Diaries") is set up, is the studio; Alloy's Les Morgenstein and Bob Levy are also exec producers.
A four-book novel series, "Vampire Diaries" was originally penned by L.J. Smith. After the success of the "Twilight" series, Morgenstein suggested to HarperCollins, the publisher of the "Diaries" books, that they should re-release the books with new covers.
Since then, "Diaries" has hit the New York Times Bestseller list, and HarperCollins has ordered three more books. The first new installment, "The Vampire Diaries: The Return: Nightfall," comes out Tuesday.

AnnaLynne McCord “New Moon’s” newest!

Another 90210-er may be making a stop in the Twilight zone.
I'm hearing that filmmakers have been considering the idea of casting 90210 star AnnaLynne McCord as Heidi in the upcoming New Moon, the much-anticipated sequel to Twilight.
Heidi isn't a major character in the book, but McCord definitely has the gorgeous looks to pull it off.
The character is a "fisher" who brings humans to the Volturi vampires to eat. She's also known as "bait" because of the way she uses her stunning looks to attract humans. In her brief appearance in the book, Bella describes Heidi as having "exceptional, unforgettable" beauty. She has stunning legs, long hair and violet eyes.
Sources tell me McCord has auditioned for the role. "It's not a big part," one of the sources said. "Heidi would be more like a cameo."
McCord should feel pretty comfortable on the set. Her 90210 costar Kellan Lutz—and rumored real-life boyfriend—played Emmett in Twilight and will return for the sequel.
McCord's rep did not immediately comment nor did a rep for the studio, Summit Entertainment.
Director Chris Weitz is expected to start shooting the flick with Robert Pattinson & Co. next month in Vancouver and Italy with a Nov. 20 release date. Summit has yet to make any major new casting announcements for New Moon. However, as I exclusively reported, Dakota Fanning is in serious talks to play Jane.

From VF- The Hollywood Portfolio 2009

Some of these actor-director teams have a history together—remember Ron Howard and Tom Hanks’s breakthrough, Splash, a quarter-century ago?—while others produced their first mind-melds in 2008. Sam Mendes and Kate Winslet even brought marriage and kids to the Revolutionary Road set. But in each case the chemistry was profound, the effect exponential. From Gus Van Sant and Sean Penn to John Patrick Shanley and Meryl Streep, Annie Leibovitz photographs 10 partnerships that helped generate more than four dozen Oscar nominations this season.

Sarah Jessica Parker Harper pour Bazaar March 2009

Despite being the resident fashionista of the Sex And The City franchise, Sarah Jessica Parker famously wore black on her wedding day and tells Harper’s Bazaar, if she had the chance to do it over, she’d wear white this time around.

“I’m not kidding. White it up. I’d wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress, like I should have worn on the day.”
