OSCAR - Academy Awards, Oscar 2010 Winners

We already wrote about possible winners and competition between- James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow, so we can say that we’re not at all surprised that this was Kathryn Bigelow’s night.

The Hurt Locker won 6 Oscars, including honour for Best Movie and Best Director.

So, Bigelow became the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Director.

On the other hand, the movie that still sits on the top of box office, James Cameron’s Avatar definetely had a bad luck. The movie won only 3 golden statues in technical categories – Art Direction, Cinematography and Visual Effects.

We can’t help but think that this show really seemed like Bigelow’s sweet revenge.

Sandra Bullock was named best actress for The Blind Side after she proudly attended Razzie 2010 event and took completely different award.

“Did I really earn this, or did I just wear you all down?” she joked on Oscar’s stage.

Jeff Bridges won the Oscar for Best Actor in a leadingrole for Crazy Heart.

Austrian actor Christoph Waltz won the first Oscar for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds which unfortunately was the only prize for this great movie.

African American actress Mo’Nique took home Oscar for best supporting actress for role in Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.

Disney Pixar’s adventure Up won in the category of best animated feature. That gives Pixar Animation Studios five Oscars for animation since that award was first handed out in 2002. Up director Pete Docter accepted the award on behalf of the studio and his animation team.

The Hurt Locker defeated not only Avatar, the highest-grossing film of all time, but also Inglourious Basterds, The Blind Side, District 9, and Disney/Pixar’s Up.

The Blind Side and Inglourious Basterds at least both took acting prizes but District 9, Up in the Air, A Serious Man and An Education were absolutely excluded!?

And yes, this is a little embarrassing!

Kourtney Kardashian’s attempts to keep the name of her baby’s dad

Kourtney Kardashian’s attempts to keep the name of her baby’s dad from leaking may have been blown after her long-time on-and-off beau was reported to be the father of the unborn child.

The American reality TV star, who is pregnant with her first kid, has been keeping the lid on who is the real daddy so that the revelation could be made on the next season of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."

But sources claimed her beau Scott Disick, with whom she temporarily split last season, is the baby’s father. "They are very sweet. They are cute and love to cuddle. Scott is more loyal than ever, and they are in love," Fox News quoted an insider as saying.

Hollywood actress Jennifer Garner has admitted that she never wanted to be in front of camera and that theatre was her first love. "I certainly never expected to be in front of the camera. Even when I was studying acting, I wouldn't even go into the film department of my school. I was only about the stage. I didn't even consider film or TV. I was a total snob," femalefirst.co.uk quoted Garner as saying. "Then when I moved to New York and was trying to get a job on stage, and was broke and was offered a TV movie, I took it because I didn't have any option," she added

The 37-year-old actress also revealed that her family was initially shocked by her decision to become an actress. Garner's father is a chemical engineer and mother an English teacher and she had originally started out studying chemistry at a university.

"I just realised that I liked drama more than science," Garner explained.

The Slumdog Millionaire kids are under a spotlight. After attending the Academy Awards and hobnobbing with the biggest and best names in Hollywood, the kids have been in the public eye ever since.

While the world is still talking about them, Vashu Bhagnani has gone ahead and shot with two kids from the Slumdog Millionaire cast - Azhar and Rubina - for his new film Kal Kissne Dekha. The sequence was filmed on Tuesday night (March 3) at the airport in Mumbai.

Music composer A R Rahman has said that he identifies himself with Slumdog Millionaire’s hero

Music composer A R Rahman has said that he identifies himself with Slumdog Millionaire’s hero – the 18-year-old slum boy who overcomes hardships by winning a fortune on Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Rahman, who has been nominated in the Oscars for the songs, O Saya and Jai Ho, had to overcome numerous hurdles in his journey from hometown Chennai (formerly Madras) in south India to the Academy Awards.

But insists he takes life positively.

"I can relate to the film because I take life positively and feel that even after great depression something good will come out," CBS News quoted him as saying.

The 43-year-old Oscar nominee began to support his family at age 11 after the death of her musician father, as a keyboard player in south Indian film composer Ilaiyaraaja's ensemble.

Before joining the south Indian film composer, Rahman’s mother used to earn livelihood by renting out her husband's musical equipment. He later formed a rock band and toured with prominent Indian musicians like tabla maestro Zakir Hussain.

He hopes that an Oscar win will make Western audiences more aware of contemporary Indian film music.

"We have a different philosophy of approaching film music and I would say there's lots to give which I always wanted to happen," said Rahman.

"We've been great fans of films of the West and we respect them so much and we also have certain qualities," he added.

Rahman’s stint in the Western World started off when Andrew Lloyd Webber asked him to write the songs for the 2002 London musical Bombay Dreams.

After the success of Slumdog he is flooded with offers from Hollywood but says that he has no intention of abandoning Bollywood.

"Both of them complement each other beautifully because I'm learning stuff from here and then giving it there and taking stuff from there and giving it here," Rahman said.
"India is going through this huge change in the whole vision of film making and I want to be a part of that change," he added.

John Mayer was with a very special friend on his 31st birthday-Jennifer Aniston

John Mayer was with a very special friend on his 31st birthday-Jennifer Aniston.

The pair, who broke up in August, rekindled their romance last weekend in New York.

They were spotted together in LA celebrating Mayer's 31st birthday on the night of Wednesday 15. The bash was held at the Grand Havana Room, a members-only restaurant and cigar club.

After stopping by a party for pal David Arquette's new clothing line, called Propr, Aniston, 39, met up with the group, staying past midnight to ring in Mayer's birthday.

"They seemed to be having a great time," People quoted a source, as saying.

"They were sitting next to each other. They're a very good-looking couple and seemed happy together,” the source added.

It was their second outing in LA this week, following a dinner with friends the night before at the Sunset Towers.

Thesun.co.uk reports that Winslet was the envy of millions of girls after being cast as Rose, opposite Leo's Jack, in the 1997 blockbuster. Now they have reunited on screen to play lovers in Oscar-tipped film Revolutionary Road. The film is directed by Winslet's husband Sam Mendes.

Their first kiss in Titanic was once voted the best-ever movie embrace, so a sloppy kiss on the cheek was never going to do this time round.

Hillary Clinton is hoping the Colbert bump will help propel her to victory in Pennsylvania.

Hillary Clinton is hoping the Colbert bump will help propel her to victory in Pennsylvania.

The Democratic presidential candidate will make her first appearance on Comedy Central's The Colbert Report on Thursday. Both Clinton and Colbert have come to Pennsylvania ahead of the state's hard-fought Democratic primary on April 22.

Clinton rival, Barack Obama, is also in Pennsylvania, but has thus far declined Colbert's invitation. Obama's wife, Michelle, will appear on the show on Tuesday.

News of Clinton's visit was divulged on Monday night in Philadelphia by MSNBC pundit Chris Matthews. He blurted it out during taping of the show at the University of Pennsylvania's Zellerbach Theatre. The news was confirmed by a person close to the satirical news program, who insisted on anonymity because the date of the visit hadn't been publicly announced.

Comedy shows have played a role in the presidential campaign, and good things have happened to guests on Colbert. Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee was a regular on the show before his unexpected—but short-lived—success in pursuing the Republican nomination. And a Saturday Night Live sketch was credited for helping Clinton gain momentum in February.

She says, "I want to be older. I actually think there's an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older. I feel way better now than I did when I was 20. I'm stronger, I'm smarter in every way, I'm so much less crazy than I was then... Getting older means paring yourself down to an essential version of yourself."

She also refused to dye her hair adding, "I've let my hair go grey. I wear only black and white. Every year, I buy three or four black dresses that I just keep in rotation."

Paul McCartney and Heather Mills faced off the big battle divorce

LONDON (Reuters) - Paul McCartney and Heather Mills faced off in one of the biggest and most bitter divorce battles in showbusines history on Monday -- with a slice of his massive Beatles fortune at stake.

Mills, the 40-year-old former model whose marriage to the pop icon lasted less than four years, is representing herself in court after sacking her lawyers.

The case, expected to last five days, is being heard behind closed doors in the family division of London's High Court.

McCartney, one of the founders of the world's most famous pop group, is worth an estimated 825 million pounds ($1.6 billion).

Legal experts believe Mills is asking for up to 50 million pounds from McCartney, 65, and that he may be prepared to offer only half that sum.

The case could set an important precedent in measuring just how much a spouse can pitch for when short marriages fail -- McCartney's lawyers argue he made the bulk of his millions before he met Mills.

Mills, dressed in a grey suit and pink blouse, arrived first at the London court.

McCartney offered a cheery "Good Morning" to waiting reporters but remained tight-lipped when asked if there had been an out-of-court settlement.

Large "No Admittance" signs were fixed to the court doors and its windows were covered to ensure no one could look in.

The divorce, the most high-profile showbusiness split since Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman broke up, has turned into a battle for sympathy fought out under a media spotlight.

Mills' public relations adviser quit when Mills gave a string of tearful television interviews in which she said remorseless media coverage had driven her to the brink of suicide.

McCartney married Mills in 2002 four years after his first wife Linda died of cancer. Their daughter, Beatrice, is 4.

Their fate will be decided in an oak-panelled courtroom at the ornate Royal Courts of Justice, but the judge will hear the case in private and may reserve judgment until a later date.

Any settlement may also be subject to a gagging order to keep secret the details of the agreement.

Walsh not keen on diets

GREY'S ANATOMY star Kate Walsh is not a fan of diet plans - because they simply encourage her to eat more.

The sexy actress, 39, attempted to lose weight before her marriage to movie boss Alex Young earlier this month (Sep07), but her efforts left her in worseshape than when she first started.

She tells OK! magazine, "I went to work out with Alex before the wedding, but it just made me feel flu-ey! Any time I try to get in shape it backfires and I end up eating more.

"More often than not I'd get into my sports bra, wear it around the house and never get on the treadmill."
