83rd Academy Award Nominations Announced

The King's Speech and True Grit topped the 83rd annual Academy Award nominations during Tuesday morning's announcement. The Social Network and True Grit trailed behind with 8 nominations each.  Mo'Nique, last year's winner for Best Supporting Actress, made the announcement in Beverly Hills with AMPAS president Tom Sherak.

Natalie Portman, Christian Bale, Annette Bening, Colin Firth, James Franco, and Javier Bardem, as expected, received nominations for Best Actor/Actress or Best Supporting Actor/Actress.  Best actor nominee James Franco is also co-hosting the 83rd annual Academy Awards with Anne Hathaway. This is possibly the first time a host is simultaneously nominated for an Oscar.   Those left out of this year's Oscar race who were considered shoe-ins include Mark Wahlberg for The Fighter, The Kids Are Alright's Julianne Moore, Black Swan's Mila Kunis, Michael Douglas for Solitary Man and Inception director Christopher Nolan.

Ten pictures are up for Best Picture with Black Swan, Inception, The King's Speech, 127 Hours, The Kids Are Alright, The Fighter, The Social Network, True Grit, Winter's Bone, and Toy Story 3 competing for the coveted award.  Disney-Pixar's Toy Story 3 is also nominated for Best Animated Film along with The Illusionist and How to Train Your Dragon.

My First Hollywood Premiere

Congratulations to CineMovie subscriber Justin Berrios of Long Beach, CA for winning TERMINATOR SALVATION Premiere Tickets from CineMovie.  Justin blogs about his experience on the red carpet at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and then watching the movie with Christian Bale and the cast of the new Terminator movie opening Thursday, May 21st. 
Fan Justin Berrios and guest at Terminator premiere

Justin Berrios' Blog

Terminator Salvation was my first (and hopefully not my last) experience on the red carpet (which interestingly enough was black.) I don't get particularly "star-struck" but even so, it's just surreal seeing people you've only seen in movies or on television in the flesh. Not to mention the actual Terminator replica staring at the crowd. 

There was a bit of a mix-up when we were taken down to the red carpet to do an interview with MTV tr3s, apparently thinking we won the tickets from them. Justin Berrios interviewed on black carpetDuring the interview I looked over to my left and standing not six feet away from me was Kelly Osbourne.  

After the interview we had our picture taken on the black red carpet and went inside. Now as I said, this was my first premiere so I was quite pleasantly surprised to find out that popcorn and drinks were complimentary! We were shown to our seats and whenever a celeb would walk in everybody applauded. Once everybody was seated, the lights went down and the curtain opened to reveal a screen a lot bigger than I had expected to be honest. I always said that midnight showings had the best crowds, but I was wrong.

During the opening credits people were cheering for every name that appeared on the screen, none more so than Christian Bale and McG. Even after a few particularly awesome action sequences the audience applauded. The movie itself was great. Much better than T3, more action-packed and fast paced than the original, and while I can't say it's better than T2 (because seriously, what could ever be better than T2?) Salvation definitely ranks up with it.

So if you're a fan at all of Terminator, Christian Bale, or any post apocalyptic man vs. machine sci-fi flick then do yourself the favor and go see this movie. It was an awesome experience and now I can proudly cross "go to a Hollywood premiere" off of my "do before I die" list.

 Suicide Squad movie review

After a unique, rowdy and colorful marketing campaign for SUICIDE SQUAD you go in expecting that. Instead you get a tamed version of a superhero movie, and the PG-13 rating might be to blame. I was really rooting for the David Ayer film to succeed so it was a great letdown.

"When I watch a doc, at least once, I want my head to explode and my heart to feel. I want to see the world differently, know something I didn't know before. Engage me but most of all surprise me. Let there be an image, a person or a moment that never leaves." Academy Award winner Susan Sarandon sets the bar high when it comes to watching documentaries. Documentaries can be the most exciting of genres, when done right.
