Read More12 Hours of Oscar: PRECIOUS moment
12 Hours of Oscar: 2010 Academy Awards trivia every hour until the show starts. Lee Daniels is only the second African-American to get on Oscar nomination for Best Director. (John Singleton was the first for Boys N the Hood.) But Daniels also broke down another barrier this year. His film, Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire, is the first movie directed by an African-American to earn a Best Picture nomination. Full list of Oscar...
Read More2010 Best Picture nominee box office totals
With 10 Best Picture nominees, four of which are already on DVD, that old reliable, the post-nomination box office bump, may not be as noticeable as it once was. The Hurt Locker is still moving up the DVD sales chart at Amazon.com. Up, Inglourious Basterds, and District 9 will likely move too. For the film’s still in theaters, including Avatar (the newly crowned highest-grossing domestic release of all-time), things tend to look up, post-nomination. Avatar will likely win the weekend again this week, with Fandango reporting a 45 percent increase in ticket sales for Cameron’s epic after the nomination. What about the others? A Serious Man? An Education? Those are the types of movies that used to gain the most from a Best Picture nomination. Now that they have to compete with more pictures, who knows if that boost...

Read MoreFinal 2010 Oscar nomination predictions w/ screenplay guesses
And so D-Day arrives. That of course makes March 7, V-O Day (Victory in Oscarland), but tomorrow is where the fun begins. At 8:30 8:38 a.m. ET tomorrow, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce the nominees for the 82nd Academy Awards. It will be the first time in over 65 years that 10 movies will compete for the Best Picture statue. At this point, its damn near impossible to pick all 10. We know The Hurt Locker, Avatar, Precious, Up in the Air, and Inglourious Basterds are locks. But who else? One thing you can always count on is for the Academy to be uncool. Guessing The Hangover or Star Trek, no matter how well they did in the precursors, seems unlikely. Can Up and District 9 even make the list. I’m putting them out...
Read More2010 SAG Awards: The Winners
The Screen Actors Guild Awards rarely, if ever, line up perfectly with the Academy Awards. The last time they came close was in 2005 when all the actor categories (cast excluded, but isn’t it always) matched Oscar. That’s why I’m not sold on Sandra taking the Oscar even after her first precursor win in a head-to-head competition with Meryl Streep. That’s the likeliest of mismatches, so it’s still a race in my book. No real surprises with wins for Inglourious Basterds, Bridges, Waltz, and Mo’Nique. If nothing else, Tarantino and Weinsteins can go into the final leg of the campaign with an “it’s not over till it’s over” mentality. With Basterds taking the cast award, An Education will limp into the Best Picture category, but it’s chances of making a big BAFTA-style splash seem seriously diminished. Can Molina even...
