Another random topic, but I got thinking. You know how almost every famous person these days has to play with career changes? Rappers becoming "actors", actors becoming directors, Disney channel stars becoming pop stars, etc... I've read that Joe Jonas has an interest to persue a legit acting career along with his music. While I don't see this as a "bad" idea, I just don't think Joe has "it" -- that sense of actorly instinct, something that I think...

Okay, so you know how those Supporting Actress' are the ones every cinephile loves best? Well I thought we could have a little fun with the category. All you have to do is this; send to me by email, a list of 3-5 Supporting Actress performances that are your absolute favorites. Winners, nominees, or even non-nominees. Along with the list write a 'lil blurb about why they are your favorites, then I can post your thoughts, and we can do what we do best...DISCUSS!*Also, for future preference, what cool, fun Oscar projects/activities can Twister do,...

"He's come back...and he's very angry!"~~~~~~~~~By this point, Michael Myers had been doing the same slasher shit for well over ten years, so the producers (those money grubbing Weinstein's) thought that in order to keep and hold the audiences interest, they must expand on explaining the boogeyman. Yeah, not that great an idea there. Michael Myers is who is he is because he originally was just purely, simply evil, but the fact that they gave him...

A handful of bloggers have compiled lists of their favorite Supporting Actress nominees, so I got a cool idea: you can email me your five favorites than I can tally which nominee appears the most and I can post them and we can all discuss. So remember, your five favorite Supporting Actress nominations, and if you want tell why.My email is: moviemania55@aol.comPlease contribute and tell othe...

Ensamble films are big with the Academy, and the nominations the films recieve usually spread across the board (i.e. Nashville, Gosford Park, Pulp Fiction, etc.) of categories. When the film comes around to the acting groups, Oscar picks one to three standout performances to nominate (usually for supporting), but sadly, most of the time, these nominations stay nominations, and never evolve into a winner. Winner or not, one performance that stands...

Oh yes. That year. That category. Everyone seen it and loves it for its oddness and its surprises, and here it is...Jack Palance, the drunk bafoon he is, was on stage, visibly loaded, while he presented what is probably the most shocking win in Supporting Actress history. I just love the inexplicable pauses he takes while talking, and as he presents the nominees he says, "Joan - Judy Davis in Husbands.....and Wives". I just have to point...
Another one of those awkward Academy years came in 1968 (for '67), specifically in the Best Actress category. It was one of the best line-ups in the categories history, and voters gave the prize to Katherine Hepburn's perfectly okay, not award worthy performance. But, lets take a look...Mr. Sidney presented the award, but he felt as if he was rushing it all; just dying to see who won the award and if the Academy would really give it to Kate. They...

Amoung the film's I had seen throughout 2009, a little flick called Zombieland is one that is quickly making its way to my favorites. Why? Because like Superbad, the film is raunchy, crude, and hilarious BUT posesses a genuine heart and sweet-natured underscoring that works wonders. And of course, out of the four main performances given by the cast, one just had to stick out for Twister. I am, of course, referring to the undeniable charm,...

During the 1973 presentation of Supporting Actress, there were in fact some things worth noticing:For one, Linda Blair looked pissed! After she was exposed as fraud, there was no way she was walking home with the Oscar. Her moody, teenage girl ways got the best of her that night. No more pouting!Poor Sylvia probably knew she wasn't going win, but she looks so chill and relaxed like, "yeah whatever, just give the damn award".I just love how the people...
