“Hurt Locker,” “Up in the Air” Win Big at WGA Awards

Sara Hetland — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 00:37:26 +0000

Seth McFarlane of “Family Guy” hosted the Writers Guild of America Awards Saturday night in Los Angeles, according to EW.com.

War drama “The Hurt Locker” beat films such as “Avatar” and “The Hangover” to win in the original screenplay category.

“Up in the Air,” which was based on a book of the same name, won adapted screenplay.

Winners in the television category included “Mad Men” (drama series), “30 Rock” (comedy series) and “Modern Family” (new series).

“Curb Your Enthusiasm” writer Larry David received the Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for lifetime achievement.

Twitter users commented on the awards:

carmelovalone Oh those wga awards! I wished a few of my dark horse picks had won like, the informant, or district 9 to win. Oh well it all good writing!

Jay_boner Hurt Locker & Up in the Air won WGA. Liked Hurt Locker but felt it was better directed than written. Basterds shouldve won.

film114 I’m so proud of the Modern Family writers for their TWO WGA AWARDS! so well deserved! yay!

OrpheusM WGA Awards: bleh. The Hurt Locker is not a great screenplay and Up in the Air is not a good movie.

vdovault So glad Mad Men won a #WGA award

bradmeltzer Very excited that Modern Family took home the love in WGA Awards. I pretend it was my vote that put them over the top.

SarahLister Really not agreeing with ‘30 Rock’ winning over ‘Glee’ for Best Comedy at the WGA’s.

akstanwyck #wga host seth macfarlane: “writers only have themselves to thank”

stevepond #wga Larry David: “What’s really ironic about this whole thing is that I hate writing.”

diedremichelle Larry David: On winning WGA: If anyone asks what it is, I’ll just say its for bowling.

Oscar Nominees Announced, “Avatar” and “The Hurt Locker” Lead

Rowena Li — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 16:53:53 +0000

Nominees for the 82nd Annual Academy Awards were announced on Tuesday morning.

“Avatar” and ”The Hurt Locker” led the nominations with nine each. Interestingly enough, the two contenders were directed by ex-spouses James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow. Both films received Best Picture and Best Director nominations.

The biggest change in the nominations was the expansion of the Best Picture category, which now has 10 nominees instead of five. The directors of three other Best Picture nominees, “Up in the Air,” ”Inglourious Basterds,” and “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire,” are also up for Best Director. The other nominees for Best Picture are “District 9,” “The Blind Side,” “An Education,” and “A Serious Man.” Pixar’s “Up” also received a nod and is the category’s only animated nominee.

For Best Actor, the five nominees were Jeff Bridges (”Crazy Heart”), George Clooney (”Up in the Air”), Colin Firth (”A Single Man”), Morgan Freeman (”Invictus”), and Jeremy Renner (”The Hurt Locker”).

Sandra Bullock (”The Blind Side”), Helen Mirren (”The Last Station”), Carey Mulligan (”An Education”), Gabourey Sidibe (”Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire”) and Meryl Streep (”Julie & Julia”) all received nominations for Best Actress.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made headlines in the months leading up to the voting and nomination announcement, when they added new members (among them Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway) and eliminated past winner Michael Moore’s “Capitalism: A Love Story” from their so-called pre-nominations for the documentary category. The Michael Jackson “This Is It” documentary wasn’t submitted for the category and had a chance at a Best Picture nomination but didn’t garner one–or any, for that matter.

Tweeps discussed the nominations, celebrating some while feeling that their other favorites had been snubbed:

japan_now Ponyo Not Nominated for Oscars: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) has announced its nominati… http://bit.ly/awi6iw

pegobry RT @CP_Branswell: Meryl Streep is the Roger Federer of acting. She has 16 Oscar nominations, he’s won 16 Slams. Both gods.

shantusharma #oscar nominations : almost predictable. not very out of the box nominations. my fav for winners- avatar for best pic and director.

shaafish #oscar nominations looks like an exact copy of #goldenglobe might as well make one ceremony and save cost.

TwitchingMonkey RT @james_gunn: I’m glad a Police Academy film wasn’t released this year, so that The Blind Side could get a chance at an Oscar nomination.

BlueRain86 Sandra Bullock was nominated for a oscar for best actress for The Blind Side hope she gets it

duke0099 I have never sat in a movie that i actually wanted to kill myself for watching, i know what my oscar pick isnt, and thats UP IN THE AIR

dary83 Really thought I was right about either “Inglorious Basterds” or “Up” winning Best Pic Oscar…’till I watched “The hurt locker”

mrsawesomesauce Wow. Precious was outstanding. Monique and that gal BOTH deserve the oscar.

vinodji And still on the Oscar noms, surely Matt Damon deserved one for ‘The Informant!’!

indranee why does Uncle Oscar hate Star Trek?

thegregloucks The Academy/Oscars prove yet again they are stupid! District 9 receives 4 Oscar Nominations? What a waste of time and a load of… movie #fb

Rockandrollluvr Hey wait a min!!!!! Michael Jackson’s “This is it” isn’t nominated?!!! NO WAY!!!thats it. Im boycotting the Oscars this year!who’s with me?!

TheGroomSays Oscars: hooray for Serious Man (best picture & screenplay) and Anna Kendrick. but no Moon? no Moore? No Where the Wild Things ARE? Damn you!

For a complete list of nominees, visit http://oscar.go.com/nominations/nominees. The Oscars, co-hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, will air Sunday, March 7, 2010 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC–and we’ll be live-blogging it with constant reaction straight from Twitterville!

Director James Cameron’s blockbuster film “Avatar” is nominated for a total of four Golden Globes, including Best Motion Picture – Drama, Best Director, Best Original Score and Best Original Song. Competing against “Avatar” for the coveted Best Picture award are “The Hurt Locker,” “Precious,” “Inglourious Basterds,” and “Up in the Air.”

“Up in the Air” is also a strong contender, with nominations in a total of five categories. Its main star, George Clooney, is up against Jeff Bridges, Colin Firth, Morgan Freeman, and Tobey Maguire for Best Actor in a drama. Having recently nabbed a People’s Choice Award for her role in “The Blind Side,” nominee Sandra Bullock is up for a Golden Globe as well for her role in the drama, alongside Emily Blunt, Helen Mirren and newcomers Carey Mulligan and Gabourey Sidibe.

George Clooney to Host Telethon for Haiti

Kim Moffat — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 23:55:36 +0000

In an effort to bring much needed relief to Haiti earthquake victims, actor George Clooney will host a telethon on January 22 that will simulcast on various networks, according to Entertainment Weekly. Though MTV was the original network to sign on, promising the telethon would run on all MTV outlets, other broadcast and cable networks have since joined. (For a full list, click here)

Haiti was struck with tragedy January 12, when a 7.0-magnitude earthquake ransacked the island. Forty-thousand people have died, according to reports, though authorities estimate 100,000 more bodies will be found.

The “Up in the Air” actor will lead the telethon’s broadcast in Los Angeles while Haitian-born Wyclef Jean has signed on to host from New York City and CNN’s Anderson Cooper will host from Haiti. More stars, as well as networks, are expected to be announced in the days ahead.

Since the earthquake first happened, Twitter has been an important communication tool, with both people in Haiti and throughout the world using it to spread information. Celebrities have used the service to rally donations, and now news of the telethon is also being passed along:

RocRedCross $201,461 !! Thank You Rochester!! donations still coming in for the Rochester Red Cross Haiti Telethon http://bit.ly/5DyeMw

HardyHaberman George Cloony to host a Haiti Telethon Jan 22 on all networks! Great news and hope it raises LOTS of cash for relief efforts.

majeeda You TV watchers, there’s gonna be a telethon on 1/22. Tune in and donate! http://bit.ly/8rG86y #Haiti

Tweeps also shared their personal thoughts on the telethon plans:

LauraShortPhoto I think instead of a telethon asking normal, everyday and possibly struggling people to donate to Haiti more celebs need to step up.

MelAlexanderS Clooney always pulls through in a time of need > RT @ecoworld: George Clooney Organizing Haiti Earthquake Telethon w/ MTV- http://kl.am/6l9E

JLanphear Smallville has officially been pushed back a week, due to next weeks television-wide Haiti Telethon. Good cause.

MullenAR I hope the TV stations are donating the air time for the Haiti telethon, but my guess is no. Adverts should cover it, though.

NewsGuyATL George Clooney threw this big telethon for the Katrina Victims and we later found out the money didnt go in the right places.

ckinkaid MTV telethon 1 week out? Lame. They care about making celebs feel better about themselves, not helping Haiti. #Haiti
