~~ Tina Fey says "no way" she would host Oscars ~~

Los Angeles: Comic actress Tina Fey says there is "no way" she would host the Oscars ceremony next year, despite getting a thumbs up from 'Star Trek' actor William Shatner in a sketch at Sunday's Academy Awards show. The creator and star of TV comedy '30 Rock' told the Huffington Post website that she did not see herself as fronting the Oscars telecast. "I just feel that gig is so hard. Especially for, like, a woman - the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone...no way," she joked, during an interview with the Huffington Post posted on the website on Tuesday. Asked if there was at least a one in a million chance, Fey replied, "I wish I could tell you there was." Fey and 'Baby Mama' actress Amy Poehler both received rave reviews for hosting the Golden Globes awards for the first time in January. In a sketch on Sunday with Seth MacFarlane, Shatner appeared from the future as 'Star Trek' Captain Jam...

The 2013 Oscars was held at the packed Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles yesterday with the who’s who of Hollywood in attendance. Here is a look at all the stand out red carpet appearances that blew us away and some of the trends that came out. Naomi Watts was my favourite of the night, by miles! She dazzled in the biggest ‘trend of the night’, metallic, wearing a stunning blue-grey fully sequinned custom Giorgio Armani Prive gown with a modern shoulder cut-out. She paired her gown with sparkling Neil Lane jewels, messy updo and pink lip colour. Jessica Chastain looked quite the flawless glamazon in a copper embellished custom strapless Giorgio Armani Prive gown with a slight train. She finished off her look with Harry Winston jewels, soft side swept red waves and a striking red lip. Halle Berry rocked a full sleeved black and silver column gown from Versace (which I first mistook for a Zuhair Murad) with structured shoulders and plunging neckline. The gown was on trend with silver s...

Hollywood: Best actress nominee Jessica Chastain, a frontrunner for Oscars gold for her role as a CIA agent tracking Osama bin Laden in 'Zero Dark Thirty', sparkled in a strapless beaded flesh-colored Armani gown, her red tresses flowing. "It's a 'Happy birthday, Mr President' kind of dress," Chastain said, referring to a classic Marilyn Monroe fashion moment. "It's an honor to wear a dress that evokes old Hollywood." But she told CNN her chances to win were slim: "I just don't think it's my year... I don't think I'm going to win." Chastain's main rival, 'Silver Linings Playbook' star Jennifer Lawrence, strutted her stuff in a strapless cream Dior gown with a full puffy skirt. "This was such a passion project for all of us," she told E! television on the red carpet, referring to the romantic comedy with an edge that earned a total of eight nominations, including one for best picture. Nine-yea...

~~ Oscars 2013: Place your bets on the 9 Best Picture nominees ~~

Image
With a little over a week to go for the 85th Annual Academy Awards, I thought it'd be fun to put together a formbook of the 9 films in the running for the biggest award of all. This isn't based on how good the films are (though the accompanying text should indeed make my opinion on each contender unambiguously clear) but on how good their chances look to lift the Best Picture trophy. Hooper isn't nominated for Best Director, the film has earned very mixed reviews (which means some real stinkers) and, most vitally, Hooper's The King's Speech robbed The Social Network of this Oscar a couple of years ago. Nope, this one's not happening. It's hard not to admire Ang Lee, a wonderfully sensitive filmmaker with an incredibly diverse range. Lee does beautiful things in 3D with this film, most of them involving a majestic tiger, but there's a bit too much heavyhanded preachiness afoot. It's a helluva spectacle, make no mistake, but it really isn...
