In the news:The AMPAS announced that Lauren Bacall, John Calley, Roger Corman, and Gordon Willis will receive the Academy's Governors Awards.
It seems that Ellen Page will be co-starring with her Juno alumni Rainn Wilson, along with Liv Tyler, in a superhero comedy to be written and directed by James Gunn.
The Coen Brothers may have gotten Jeff Bridges to take the lead role in their remake of 'True Grit', playing the role that once won John Wayne an Oscar.
The sequel to 'Hancock' is moving forward with all the principle cast members back, along with Peter Berg directing again.
Finally, the film 'Couples Retreat' won a ratings appeal to be rated PG-13 instead of R, a rare occurrence for any non Kevin Smith movie.
-Thoughts?

Did I read that right? Are the Governors Awards being given out in November not at the actual March ceremony? If so who came up with that idea, anytime to get Bacall onto the stage is a good time to do it.
ReplyDeleteit's one of their ideas to streamline the ceremony, and likely not add any time to the show with 10 Best Pic slots...
ReplyDeleteWell cutting Bacall from any ceremony is stupid in my book, she is the personification of class and beauty and should not be passed on for time.
ReplyDeleteI think it'll be shown in highlight form like the tech awards are, but I get your point
