Oscars 2009: The Nominations!
The nominations for the 81st Academy Awards have just been announced in Hollywood, with The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button heading up the nominees with thirteen nominations!
Slumdog Millionaire matched Doubt with ten nominations each, Kate Winslet has been nominated for Best Actress, and on the anniversary of Heath Ledger's death, he's been awarded a posthumous nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
So without further ado, check out all the nominees!
Sugar Bits — Hancock Is Number One
- Hancock is top of the UK box office, with Kung Fu Panda taking second place. — BBC
- A public health expert has criticised celebrity chefs for behaving irresponsibly by failing to observe basic standards of hygiene on their TV shows, specifically naming Ready Steady Cook. — The Telegraph
- Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves have named their son Levi because that is another name for the apostle Matthew, and their son was born at 6.22pm, which represents the actor's favourite verse in the book of Matthew in The Bible.
Jack's Back With the Panda for UK Premiere
Jack Black works hard for his money – whether it's being directed to get his head blown up by Ben Stiller for an MTV skit or busting out some (well-practised) kung fu moves with a man dressed in a panda suit on the red carpet – he gives it his all. So I was happy to see him being carried in to Leicester Square for last night's premiere of Kung Fu Panda – after all, the guy could do with a break! His co-star Angelina Jolie is still pregnant so she didn't make it to the red carpet, but the insanely witty Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu and Ian McShane did show up to boost their movie's star power!
How To Lose Friends And Kung Fu Like A Panda
Day two of the Cannes Film Festival was just as entertaining as the first, again thanks to Jack Black who was joined by a comedic partner in Dustin Hoffman – who decided to play paparazzi for a minute – and Angelina Jolie playing it straight. Brad Pitt supported his baby-mama at the gala premiere of Kung Fu Panda and walked the red carpet alongside gorgeous ladies Lucy Liu, Rachel Leigh Cook, Eva Longoria and Natalie Imbruglia.
After a quick change, Natalie also showed up to the party for Simon Pegg's new movie How To Lose Friends And Alienate People where she partied with Simon, his co-star Gillian Anderson and guests including a tanned Lily Allen, Mischa Barton and Jenni Falconer.
Jack Helps Cannes Kick Off Kung Fu Style!
Jack Black always has fun at photo opportunities, something that has definitely been enhanced by his hosting the KCAs year upon year. Yesterday he brought his hyperactive magic to the first photocall of the 61st Cannes Film Festival, arriving in a boat with forty giant pandas – well, people dressed in giant panda costumes – to promote his new movie Kung Fu Panda. Of course it was in the interviews following this larking about that he let slip that the rumours are true and his co-star Angelina Jolie is expecting twins.
