silver linings playbook
After two Oscar nominations and a win, Jennifer Lawrence has vowed to remain the same down to earth person she was before fame.
"Oz: The Great and Powerful" gave the box office a boost this past weekend after scoring the best opening of the year.
On Feb. 23 the "Silver Linings Playbook" took home Best Film at the 28th annual Independent Spirit Awards.
This year the Best Picture category sees 9 films competing for the highest honor. After Guild awards one film has emerged as the front-runner. However that film is not nominated for Best Director and that could potentially lead to a surprise winner on Sunday. Previous winners are "The Artist," "The King's Speech," "The Hurt Locker," "Slumdog Millionaire," and "No Country for Old Men."
The Best Supporting Actor Race is one of the most difficult races to predict this year as three actors have emerged as possible winners. The race is being disputed by five Oscar winners and four actors will go for their second while the fifth actor will go for his third. The last time an actor race was so difficult to predict was in 2007 when 4 Supporting Actresses split the top awards. Past Supporting Actor winners are Christopher Plummer (Beginners), Christian Bale (The Fighter), Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Basterds), Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight), and Javier Bardem (No Country For Old Men).
This weekend "A Good Day to Die Hard" underperformed while "Safe Haven" and "Escape from Planet Earth" opened above expectations.
Jennifer Lawrence arrived in London for the British Academy Awards and tripped on the sidewalk.
Robert De Niro teared up during an interview about Silver Linings Playbook on Katie Couric’s talk show on Monday.
"Warm Bodies" took home the Super Bowl weekend box office while Sylvestor Stallone's new film bombed. Oscar holdovers continued to do solid business.
"Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters" won the box office beating out its fellow new comers "Movie 43" and "Parker."
The 19th annual SAG awards will be aired on TNT and TBS on Jan 27th. The awards show will mark the second guild awards after Saturday's Producer's Guild ceremony.
The SAG awards will air on Jan. 27 at 8pm on TNT and TBS. The SAG awards which are voted by actors and Academy Award members are expected to clear up the acting races at the Oscars.
The Screen Actors Guild Awards have always been a good indicator of who the acting awards will go to at the Oscars. However when it comes to the Ensemble award it can be unpredictable. Sometimes the SAG awards go with the films that will win the Oscar or with a film they want to award the actors for. However a win at the SAG can put a film in the front running position. Recent best picture winners that won the ensemble award include "The King's Speech," "Slumdog Millionaire," "No Country for Old men," and "Crash."
The Screen Actors Guild Awards have always been a good indicator of who the acting awards will go to at the Oscars. This year, however, only 14 out of 20 SAG nominees matched the corresponding Oscar categories. Still the actors who are currently frontrunners for their respective categories were nominated and should continue to get a huge boost from a SAG win.
