The candidates for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for the 80th Annual Academy Awards:
The Oscar goes to Tilda Swinton.
The candidates for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (aka Best Supporting Actress) for the 80th Annual Academy Awards are:
While Saoirse Ronan was incredibly convincing in Atonement, she’s only 13. Time aplenty for her to win later. I’m betting on either Cate Blanchett or Amy Ryan.
The candidates for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role (aka Best Actress) for the 80th Annual Academy Awards are:
I have not see any of these movies by Juno and Away From Her are on my “to watch” list. My money is on Julie Christie because she’s reaching the end of her career. While Ellen Page might deserve an Oscar, she just turned 21 and has a long career ahead of her. Lots of time for her to win.
Smug, untalented crybaby ex-heiress Paris Hilton’s wretched new movie The Hottie and the Nottie bombed in the box office for opening day Friday (yesterday). TMZ says that the movie opened on 111 screens and sold approximately 10 tickets per theater, on average. The $23,000 it’s expected to earn over Fri-Sun is better than the $1200 (estimated) that Jessica Simpson’s Blonde Ambition took in on opening weekend in December 2007 at 8 theaters.
My only question is, why is Christine Lakin – who is normally way hotter than Paris and actually has an acting career – so desperate to play the role of troll/roomate in this movie? A video clip is below, but be warned, it’s not pretty. Rated “PG-13″ for pretty gross.
The Daily Mail revealed today that actress Julie Christie (pictured above) – who is nominated for an Oscar as Best Actress for her role in Away From Her, and for which she won a Golden Globe and a SAG Award – had a secret older half-sister, June. June was Frank St. John Christie’s daughter by one the tea-pickers on his plantation in India (Julie was born in India, too). But while Frank loved June, she was kept mostly secret, especially when he married Rosemary Ramsden (Julie’s mother) in 1937. June later moved to the UK, after Frank’s death, and became a midwife. Julie Christie has reportedly never made any reference to June nor ever met her. June died in 2005 at the age of 70.
So Demi Moore left Bruce Willis for young stud and professional doofus Ashton Kutcher. And Bruce hung around the new couple for years (never understood that). Now, he’s found himself a very attractive 27-year old model/ actress, Emma Hemming, who has a resemblance to Demi Moore (but is not a “spitting image” of her like the Daily Mail says.) In fact, this new couple showed up at the big 30th b-day party that Moore threw in New York City for Kutcher. (He turned 30 on Feb 7th.)
Willis is currently working several projects: Assassination of a High School President and Pinkville in 2008; The Last Full Measure and Morgan’s Summit in 2009; The Surrogates in 2010.

Jessica Alba is “neutral” in The Eye, a remake of the Chinese language horror film Gin Gwai (2002). While this film scared the hell out of me and had me jumping out of my seat or gripping the armrests a lot, there was something missing. Not to mention, the movie sort of changed direction towards the very end, after wandering around kind of aimlessly.
Still, your $8-10 for a ticket to a horror movie is probably better spent on The Eye rather than Cloverfield. (Cloverfield mostly disturbed and/or irritated me, and provided maybe seven minutes of thrill. The Eye’s supernatural feel was much more white-knuckle.)
Note: A full review will appear at a new site we’re launching shortly.
Wow! Just wow! Cher has just revealed that she dated Tom Cruise in the 80s. That’s despite the 16-year age difference. (Not like Cher hasn’t skirted that kind of age difference with other young men before.) She described him as “the most adorable man you can imagine.” Since this was before he joined Scientology, I guess he couldn’t try to convert her like he wants to do to Britney Spears.
The currently blonde 61-year old Cher is planning a visually stunning comeback in Las Vegas starting May 6th at the Colosseum, former home to Celine Dion. This consists of a 200-show deal spanning three years. Watch this video clip below to find out what other male celebs asked Cher out, and which political candidate she supports for U.S. President.
That bike costs how much!? dept: Courtney Cox Arquette and Jennifer Aniston have been good friends since the Friends TV series. (Such good friends, that Cox’s husband David Arquette supposedly is sick of Aniston hanging around.) And when you’re rich and have a good friend, they give you a chic Chanel bicycle that has a saddlebag replete with “CC” logo, quilted leather seat, eight speeds, yadda yadda. And all that for the low cost of $12,000. (Cele|bitchy speculates that Aniston needs the bike to excercise a bit so that all us bloggers don’t think she’s pregnant. But it’s more likely an early b-day present. Aniston turns 39 on Feb 11th. Wow. Already?)
Cox currently appears in the TV series Dirt (with a guest appearance by Aniston in which they kiss), and will appear in The Big Change in 2009. Aniston will appear in He’s Just Not That Into You and several others this year.
Amy Winehouse has been denied a U.S. visa. While that means she can’t perform live at the upcoming Grammys, she will perform via satellite.
This denial shouldn’t affect her songwriting work for the new James Bond #22 movie, Quantum of Solace. The movie is being filmed first in London and then in Vancouver (I believe). But her vocal work is likely to be recorded in the UK.
