Academy Awards for outstanding film achievements of 2010 will be presented on Sunday, February 27, 2011, at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center®, and televised live on the ABC Television Network. The Oscar presentation also will be televised live in more than 200 countries
worldwide.
Show a little boob (ok, A LOT of boob) and cut your arm off in a movie and you get to host the biggest award show of the year.
Call me cynical, but I think that’s why Anne Hathaway and James Franco got the gig of a lifetime each to co-host this years’ Academy Awards.
Regardless of what I think, ABC just released its first promo photo of Hathaway and Franco and released a promo video clip showing how funny the two can be together.
Nominations for the 83rd Annual Academy Awards were announced today in Beverly Hills, CA. The Awards ceremony will be held Sunday, Feb. 27 on ABC. Anne Hathaway and James Franco will co-host the event.
The leading nominations winner? The King’s Speech lead all movies with 12 nominations. True Grit and Inception are both at a close second and third with 10 and eight, respectively.
Sadly, my man Mark Wahlberg was snubbed for Best Actor, but The Fighter was nominated for Best Picture and his co-stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams and Melissa Leo all got nominations as well. It’s like the Titanic all over again with the whole cast and movie being nominated but the main actor, in that latter case, Leonardo DiCaprio.
Mila Kunis was also a no-show on the nominations list as were director Christopher Nolan (Inception), Michael Douglas (Wallstreet), Andrew Garfield (The Social Network), Matt Damon (True Grit), Ryan Gosling (Blue Valentine), Julianne Moore (The Kids Are All Right); Halle Berry (Frankie & Alice), and Paul Giamatti (Barney’s Version).
