Movie Buzz The movie, based on the award-winning play, is centered in a parish in which Father Flynn (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is accused by Sister Aloysius (Meryl Streep) of abusing a student, despite her having no evidence. The film also stars Amy Adams, making it to the Oscars what Beverly Hills Chihuahua is to the Razzies. (Although can you ever really go wrong with a George Lopez flick?)
Movie Buzz Daniel Day-Lewis may have just won his second Oscar for There Will Be Blood, but some have already begun challenging the praise he's received for his scenery-chewing performance. They say that Day-Lewis' motivations are unclear, that his acting is gimmicky, and that his histrionics take the viewer out of the action. In other words, they think he's a ham. Of course, hamming it up has always been a pretty good way to win yourself a gold statue.
Movie Buzz With Juno a huge box office success and now a multiple Oscar nominee, the haters are out in full force. Among their chief complaints: the film's treatment of pregnancy, its "horribly precious" soundtrack, and especially its arch lexicon. Seriously, honest to blog! But never fear, the backlash-to-the-backlash has already begun.
Movie Buzz Tim Burton gets left out of the Academy Awards nominations, again. Sure, Sweeney Todd is in the running for best art direction and best costume - and Johnny Depp is up for best actor - but otherwise Burton's latest is being snubbed by Hollywood. The closest he's ever come to touching Oscar was a nomination for best animated feature in 2006 for Corpse Bride.
