Judd Apatow to create short film for Oscar show

Kristen Scott Thomas calls out Winslet on her Golden Globes win for The Reader.

[flyonthewall2983]

I thought she won for Revolutionary Road?

[Antoine Doinel]

She won for both.

[flyonthewall2983]

Ah.

[mute nostril agony]

I would call her out on her Revolutionary Road win as well. She was terrible in that movie!

[Antoine Doinel]

Heath Ledger and Queen Latifah: together at last.

[HelenLawson]

Heath Ledger and Queen Latifah: together at last.

Heath was part of last year's montage of the dead, so he'll be spared this one last indignity.

[Antoine Doinel]

Peter Gabriel pulls out of the awards show.

[Antoine Doinel]

Peter Gabriel pulls out of the awards show.

Here's the Oscar trailer directed by John Singleton. Anyone have any idea what "celebrate the movies that celebrate the times" means?

[HelenLawson]

This ad acknowledges that the only way we're going to pay attention this year is if a giant Oscar attacks us from space.

[dx23]

Peter Gabriel pulls out of the awards show.

It's a shame that the idiot producers at helm of this award show still don't understand that we want to see the original performers of the nominated songs perform. We didn't want Beyonce singing all the songs and certainly didn't want Enchanted almost replaying the movie in last's year broadcast. Why now is it that they would not let Peter Gabriel and the rest of the performers do their entire piece. Imbeciles.

The Academy decides who gets Ledger's Oscar

[Highway 61]

Nate Silver predicts the Oscars.

[Fiery Angel]

How depressing that such a flashy, empty director like Boyle is a shoo-in.

[John Cope]

The flash isn't always empty. It mostly was this time though. Trust the Academy to reward him for it. Oh well.

[Antoine Doinel]

The Trouble With Jerry

[domino harvey]

I think the real question is: Will Ed Harris clap for Jerry Lewis?

Foreign Film Oscars have often gone to unknown quantities, but I'd be surprised if that happens this year.

[Barmy]

The list is correct on the 6 major awards. Looking over the remainder just convinced me that I don't need to watch the show. ](*,)

[tavernier]

The Onion handicaps the Oscars.

[Jeff]

I'm pretty sure Mickey Rourke just gave the best speech in award show history at the Independent Spirits.

[exte]

Paul Schrader apparently was never even nominated by the Academy... wow.

[Highway 61]

Video of Rourke's awesome speech at the Independent Spirit awards.

Christ I hope he tops this tomorrow!
