Eddie Murphy has officially stepped down as host of the 84th Academy Awards telecast, less than 24 hours after the show’s producer Brett Ratner stepped aside after a storm of criticism over his use of an anti-gay slur over the weekend.
In all fairness, Ratner and Murphy’s attachment to the broadcast lasted longer than the Kardashian marriage, by twenty-four days.
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak said Wednesday in a statement, “I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well.”
Ratner was named the Oscar co-producer in early August, resigned on Tuesday morning because of his anti-gay slurs on Howard Stern’s radio program on Sirius XM Radio show.
According to the New York Times, The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation strongly objected to the derisive remark about gays, and a flood of objections by academy members and media commentators quickly made clear that the Academy’s Feb. 26 Oscar show on ABC, if Mr. Ratner remained in charge, was going to be as much about Mr. Ratner as the movies.
Murphy followed his friend and director of his latest film “Tower Heist” and flew the coop, he commented, “First and foremost I want to say that I completely understand and support each party’s decision with regard to a change of producers for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony. I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I’m sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job.
More to come….
Anyone who disses Anne Hathaway on national TV may end up being shot back at in a series of emails.
Well in the case of James Franco, that’s what happened to him when he poked fun at her during an appearance on “The Late Show With David Letterman.”
“I love her, but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway,” Franco said back in March.
Hathaway, who hosted this year’s Academy Awards with Franco to less than rave reviews, fired back, correcting Franco on his word choice.
“I let James know that a whirling dervish is a more flattering comparison than a Tasmanian devil. I called him, and we e-mailed a bit,” she reveals to Harper’s Bazaar.
…Ouch…
But perhaps there aren’t any hard feelings, as Hathaway felt hosting the awards show was more of a positive experience in just getting to be there.
“In the grand scheme of things, I got to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she tells Harper’s. “I met great people, wore beautiful clothes. And I got to put on a show. I don’t see a downside. Anyone who disliked my personality probably disliked my personality before the Oscars.”
Good on Anne for not firing back angrily to her haters. After all, she was the center of attention that night, not to mention all the lovely outfits she got to wear! Stay classy! It really is better to focus on the positive and move on in life.
But in other Anne Hathaway news, she is gearing up to play Catwoman in Christopher Nolan’s Batman finale, “The Dark Knight Rises” as well as the summer romance, “One Day”, alongside Jim Sturgess.
The Academy Awards will now allow between five and 10 best picture nominees, reports CTV.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced yesterday that the number of nominees will be dictated by voting. In order to be nominated, a film will need a minimum of 5 per cent first-place votes.
In 2009, the Oscars expanded the best picture nominees from 5 to 10, but now, the number of nominees has been changed again after analyzing the voting from the last two years.
Retiring Academy executive director Bruce Davis recommended the change, saying:
“In studying the data, what stood out was that Academy members had regularly shown a strong admiration for more than five movies,” said Davis. “A best picture nomination should be an indication of extraordinary merit. If there are only eight pictures that truly earn that honor in a given year, we shouldn’t feel an obligation to round out the number.”
The unknown number of nominees will add a new sense of mystery to the awards too, as filmmakers don’t know how many spots they are vying for. The nominations for the 84th annual Academy Awards will be announced January 24.
I personally think 10 was too much, so I like this idea. Nominate as many movies that deserve it, not just because they need 10 spots. Hopefully this means the award show will be shorter, too, as less people are nominated.
Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter must be thrilled!
British import The King’s Speech has officially taken home the little golden man for best picture at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
Steven Spielberg presented the film’s cast and crew with the statue, placing emphasis on the true honour of even being nominated in such a prestigious category.
Director Tom Hooper was also honoured in the Best Directing Category, leading man Colin Firth snagged an Oscar in his category, and screenwriter David Seidler managed to nab a win too.
It was a spectacular film, but being die-had Christopher Nolan fans we couldn’t help but root for Inception! Still, the award was absolutely well-deserved and the film was excellent.

A shocking report was released by Variety early this week. The report claims that reports that the scores for Black Swan, True Grit, The Kids Are All Right and The Fighter will be disqualified for the 83rd Academy Awards.
The trade says that Black Swan and True Grit scores won’t be competing because they are “diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music. Clint Mansell’s score for Black Swan is solely based on Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake and Carter Burwell’s True Grit score is based on 19th century hymns. The scores are being criticized for their lack of originality.
Whereas, The scores for The Kids Are All Right and The Fighter won’t be competing because they are “diminished in impact by the predominant use of songs.”
I mean, I think this is a little harsh. It still takes a tremendous amount of work to compile a film score even if the songs are not all original. Of course, the totalitarian ruling Academy is pulling the plug on these films. It’s not a surprising move from one of the most biased institutes.
Mid-November is a time where we start hearing the same Christmas songs in every single store, Starbucks features their holiday drinks, peppermint hot chocolate and the gingerbread latte, and the first (or third) snowfall is upon us. Apart from all the holiday season cliches, all Oscar buzzing films are released consecutively. Though the Academy Awards, set for February 27 2011, are three months away, it is time to start the Oscar pools.
The Academy Awards is a pretty predictable awards show. Every year viewers are disappointed with the winners because of an Academy institution conspiracy. The voting process is not really democratic, although members of the board claim that it is. This year there are many Oscar buzzing films. Last year was a poor year (in my opinion) for North American cinema, but this year is looking up.
The nomination ballads are due on Monday December 27, and the official nominations will be announced a month later on January 27. With two months to decide, I say that we can somewhat accurately guess the ten best picture nominations.
As of November 18 2010 my Best Picture nominations are as follows (subject to change):
1. 127 Hours (Danny Boyle)
2. Made in Dagenham (Nigel Cole)
3. True Grit (Cohen Brothers)
4. The Social Network (David Fincher)
5. Conviction (Tony Goldwyn)
6. Winter’s Bone (Debra Granik)
7. Toy Story 3 (Lee Unkrich)
8. Inception (Christopher Nolan)
9. The Rabbit Hole (John Cameron Mitchell)
10. For Colored Girls (Tyler Perry)
As a warning I am not necessarily in accordance with all of these films, but I am trying to delve into the minds of the conspirators.
According to MTV News, Bullock celebrated her MTV Generation Award with a kiss from Scarlett Johansson.
Accompanying Johansson and Bullock on stage was Betty White and Bradley Cooper. And of course, this kiss got Bullock a standing ovation from the rowdy crowd.
“Sandy, I know I’m not alone in saying I hope you know how loved you are,” Cooper said. “Both for your incredible talent and for being such a humble and effervescent woman.”
And Bullock deserved nothing less than to be honoured. Just this year, she has already received a Golden Globe as well as a pair of giant hits, including “The Proposal” and “Blind Side.”
“You are grace defined and I adore you madly,” White said, who got to know Bullock during the filming of “The Proposal.”
“Our sex scenes were cut from theatrical release,” White lamented. “But don’t worry, everyone can see them on the unrated DVD.”
Despite all of the love and chatter, Johansson preferred to just stay quiet. Maybe she was still holding a grudge over Bullock’s full-frontal scene in “The Proposal,” shared with Ryan Reynolds – Johansson’s husband.
And to top it all off, Bullock became the first-ever female recipient of the honour. She joins the likes of Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller and Mike Myers, just to name a few.
During her speech, Bullock said “no matter what you might have seen or heard or read lately, I love what I do. And I’m not going anywhere.”
Motorcycle freak Jesse James has finally decided to come clean. People.com reports that after facing allegation of infidelity to his Oscar winning wife, Sandra Bullock, he has issued an apology to her and his three children.
In a statement provided to PEOPLE, James states:
“The vast majority of the allegations reported are untrue and unfounded. Beyond that, I will not dignify these private matters with any further public comment.”
He still, however took complete responsibility for the heartbreak and Bullock moving out of their Southern California home.
In the wake of the Oscars, certain Hollywood bigwigs were already writing eulogies for Gabourey Sidibe’s acting career.
“There’s the most enormous, fat black chick I’ve ever seen. She is enormous. Everyone’s pretending she’s a part of show business and she’s never going to be in another movie,” blasted Howard Stern on a Monday morning radio show.
It looks like Stern may have to eat his words.
According to MSN Online, “Precious” lead Gabourey Sidibe has landed a job as the star of Showtime’s new comedy “The Big C.”
At the Oscars last Sunday, The Cove went home with the Academy Award for Best Documentary. When the film’s cast went onstage to accept the golden statue, ex-dolphin trainer Roc O’Barry stood behind the pack holding a sign that read “TEXT DOLPHIN to 44144.”
Even though it received lukewarm reviews, the Academy Awards drew in a large enough audience to send a tidal wave of texts to the advertised number, almost shutting down the group’s mobile service provider.
But where were the texts actually going?
At the Academy Awards, much is tolerated. Whether it be a pompous attitude, a boring speech or just bad comedy, it is all tolerated. But, according to TMZ, fake Oscar passes are not apart of that extensive list.
During the peak hour of celebrity traffic on the red carpet, nine German men were arrested. Police noticed that the German men were chatting with the stars and reportedly did not possess the proper authorization passes for the red carpet.
When the German men were approached by the police, they allegedly flashed their red carpet passes with MTV and CITI logos on them. But, the police found a little problem with the passes – they were counterfeit.
“Well, the time has come!” announced actress Barbra Streisand as she pulled the winner’s name out of the small white envelope.
Last night at the Oscars, history was made as Kathryn Bigelow became the first female director to win an Academy Award for directing The Hurt Locker.
Bigelow beat out Canadian ex-husband James Cameron, director of Avatar, to win both Best Director and Best Picture. In addition, her nomination last night was the very first time she was recognized by the academy.
Just when you thought no one would turn down Oprah, a newcomer to the bizz does just that. Perez Hilton.com reports that Precious star, Gabourey Sidibe, 26, reportedly turned down an invite from the Queen of talk shows to the Academy Awards.
The Brooklyn native apparently didn’t want to get too friendly with Oprah. “Oprah called me and was like, ‘Hey girl, do you want to ride together?’ I was like, ‘I got it Oprah, calm down. I don’t want to show up with you. People will think we’re too cool,” she said.
However, the actress is still star struck by Oprah and there are no hard feelings between the two stars.
“She’s the only person that I’m continually star-struck by. When I meet people I get used to them very quickly because everyone seems like a friend because I watch them on TV. But Oprah is the only one I can’t get used to,” she admitted.
It’s that time again! Every actor and movie-lover’s favourite affair is heading our way!
The 82nd Academy Awards will take place on Sunday, March 7, 2010, as is shown on the official Oscar website, oscar.com. The show will be hosted by Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin. The official list of nominees was just announced.
