All The Winners From The 2009 Oscars!
The 2009 Oscars took place in LA last night with our fellow Brits taking home a huge number of awards! Slumdog Millionaire was the big winner with eight gold statues including Best Picture and Best Director for Danny Boyle, while Kate Winslet won Best Actress for her role in The Reader — here's what she had to say in the press room following her win! Sean Penn won Best Actor for his role in Milk, beating out Mickey Rourke to the gong, while Penelope Cruz and Heath Ledger won the Best Supporting trophies, with Heath's award being picked up by his family.
Vogue Viewing of The Duchess
The Duchess had a special screening in New York last night, in association with The Cinema Society and — how fitting for Fashion Week — Vogue magazine. As I've described, the costumes in the movie are amazing, but last night both Keira Knightley and model Coco Rocha were working pretty gothic looks on the red carpet. Keira's famous pout was out in full swing as she posed with editor Anna Wintour, until friendly face Dominic Cooper arrived and made her giggle — BellaUK has all the goss on how to get her smoky eyes!

Pop Preview: The Duchess
Keira Knightley's latest period offering, The Duchess, is finally released at cinemas across the UK today. We've seen the stars at the world premiere and attending radio interviews, and now it's time to see if the film lives up to all the hype. Although the poster carries the famous Diana quote — "there were three people in her marriage" — the film has nothing to do with her (as the cast and director told me when I met them recently) so that aspect of the trailer is for marketing and doesn't reflect the content of the film.
Keira Brings Her Friend To The Duchess Premiere
Keira Knightley and her perfect pout stole the show at the world premiere of The Duchess in London's Leicester Square last night. Looking gorgeous in her Alexis Mabille dress (do you love or hate it?), Keira joined costars Ralph Fiennes and Dominic Cooper, director Saul Dibb and writer Amanda Foreman on the red carpet, taking time to sign autographs for the hordes of fans.
Keira And Costars Deal With The Duchess Diana Connection
When I met the stars of The Duchess, Keira Knightley, Dominic Cooper and Hayley Atwell were happy to spill about the sex scenes in the film. Another hot topic was the Diana connection. Keira's character, Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire, is an ancestor of Princess Diana and there are parallels between the women's complicated marriages.
Keira And Dominic Swap Period Costumes For Casual Clothes
Keira Knightley and Dominic Cooper popped in to the Radio One studios yesterday, ahead of The Duchess's premiere in Leicester Square this evening. Keira accessorised her monochrome outfit with an animal print scarf and cute heels, while Dominic gave us a glimpse of that chest we saw in all its glory in Mamma Mia. From what Dominic said about his costumes (or lack thereof) on set, I'm fairly confident he wasn't wearing a skin-coloured nappy under that casual outfit.
Keira And Costars Tell Us All About The Sex in The Duchess
Recently I had the amazing opportunity to meet the stars of The Duchess and hear all about the role sex plays in the movie, from the practicalities of filming sex scenes to the sexual politics of the period. Here's an excerpt of the Q+A with Keira Knightley (who plays the eponymous Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire), Dominic Cooper (who plays her extra-marital love interest, Earl Grey) and Hayley Atwell (who plays the third person in Georgiana's marriage, Bess Foster). Come back to PopSugar UK later in the week to see what else the gang had to say about the film, including the Diana connection.
PopSugar UK's Must Haves For September
This month I'm looking forward to various acting treats. There are two big films hitting our cinema screens on 5 September, and then the excitement of live performance as a major US actor takes to the West End stage. I'm also excited for the DVD release of three movies.
