  • Oscars 2011 Wrap-Up: James Franco, Anne Hathaway, Kirk Douglas, and That Cate Blanchett Dress

    Ok, so the Oscars are over, and the votes are in. The winners have been announced, and the broadcast is now ancient history. How do you think Anne Hathaway and James Franco did as hosts? A lot of people are saying the show was boring and didn’t deliver the hipness those two were supposed to…

  • Oscars 2011: Photos of Hilary Swank, Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and More

    I posted a few photos earlier tonight of the Oscars 2011 red carpet, and here’s a few more. Overall, I thought the dresses were nice. Yeah, just nice. Nothing completely spectacular, and none that jumped off the screen at me. Even Helena Bonham Carter was somewhat subdued — for her anyway. The only dress I…

  • James Franco and Anne Hathaway to Host Oscars

    Here’s an interesting development — James Franco and Anne Hathaway will co-host the 83rd Academy Awards, airing Feb. 27, 2010 on ABC at the Kodak Theater. I’m not sure what to think about this. My first thought is that they’re both extremely talented, but I can’t really see them holding down an entire Oscars show…

  • Exclusive: Interview with Tomm Moore, Director of The Secret of Kells

    If you’re yearning to see a film that’s beautiful, magical and unique, check out ‘The Secret of Kells,’ a children’s film that’s all of those things AND a great lesson in Celtic folk art and Irish history. Read my review of the film here. It tells the story of a young boy named Brendan (voiced…

  • Gecko Gossip: Sandra Bullock and Jesse James Split? Say It Ain’t So!

    Oh, man. If this is true, I feel just awful for Sandra Bullock. I heard reports yesterday that she’d pulled out of the London premiere of ‘The Blind Side’ (and … what? The film’s been in U.S. theaters for months. Anyway …). The reason? “Unforeseen personal reasons,” according to People.com. Then the news came out…

  • Ready for the Oscars? Think ‘The Hurt Locker’ Will Win Best Picture?

    I’ve been so busy re-building this site after the b5Media fiasco that the Oscars have come upon me all of a sudden it seems. But as all movie lovers know, the big event is tonight. What I love about this year’s Oscars is that all of the Best Picture nominees are so darn diverse. We…

  • Tom Hanks Calls Kelly Ripa ‘Kathie Lee’

    Hey, even one of the most beloved actors of our time is going to make a mistake now and then. Yesterday on ‘Live With Regis & Kelly,’ Tom Hanks mistakenly called Kelly Ripa ‘Kathie Lee.’ You know, it happens. Kelly countered with a jab of her own when the topic of Oscar presenters came up.…

  • Quentin Tarantino Gets Creepy with Eugenia Chernyshova on the Dance Floor

    In the “totally gossip” department, TMZ is reporting that Quentin Tarantino and model Eugenia Chernyshova were seen getting hot and heavy on the dance floor in L.A. last night. Seriously, I feel for the girl. What must go on in Tarantino’s mind on a daily basis? Would you like to be the one trying to…

  • ‘Hurt Locker’ Producer Barred from Oscars

    How sad is this? Your movie finally scores big with a best picture Oscar nomination, and the Academy bars you from the show! Here’s the scoop: Producer Nicolas Chartier wrote an email to friends asking them to vote for his war movie ‘The Hurt Locker’ over the “$500 million film” (meaning ‘Avatar’). Thus, the Academy…

  • Watch the ‘Crazy Heart’ Trailer

    I haven’t seen ‘Crazy Heart’ yet, but will try and take a look before the Oscars, since it’s nominated for best actor (Jeff Bridges), best supporting actress (Maggie Gyllenhaal), and best original song (‘The Weary Kind’ by Ryan Bingham and T-Bone Burnett). It stars Bridges as Bad Blake, a broken-down, hard-living country music singer who’s…
