12 Hours of Oscar: 2010 Academy Awards trivia every hour until the show starts. I don’t think I’m the only one who was excited when it was announced that Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were going to be the co-hosts of the 82nd Academy Awards. But when was the last time the Oscars had more than one host? You have to go back 23 years to 1987, when Chevy Chase, Goldie Hawn, and Paul Hogan co-hosted the 59th Academy Awards. Coincidentally, Platoon, a war picture, took home the trophy for Best Picture that night. Good news for The Hurt Locker? Full list of Oscar Predictions...

Read More2010 Oscar Predictions – A World of HURT
With all the talk of preferential voting in the Best Picture category, you think this would be the year that I would roll the dice on picking something off the wall for Oscar’s big prize. Not the case. While I’ve been MIA from the blog for a few weeks, I’ve been keeping track of The Hurt Locker‘s march toward Oscar. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more celebrated film in all my time watching Oscar. The Hurt Locker has won every guild award for which it was nominated with the exception of SAG, MPSE, and the yet-to-be-announced ASC (American Society of Cinematographers). The Hurt Locker won over the Anglos, winning 6 BAFTA Film Awards including Best Film. It even won the critics trifecta. with LAFCA, NYFCC, and NSFC all picking it as their top picture. Sure, preferential voting means...
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...
