Nikki Finke: Live-Snarking The Oscars Welcome To Harveywood!

Oscar Winners List 2012 Backstage At The Academy Awards OSCARS: Who Wore What On The Red Carpet OSCARS: Wins By Studio OSCARS: Wins By Film Sacha Baron Cohen Punks Ryan Seacrest: The Dictator Spills Kim Jong Ils Ashes All Over Red Carpet Host! (Ryan Unamused) I’mlive-snarking the 84th Annual Academy Awards for the outstanding film achievements of 2011 starting at 5:30 PM PT tonight. Comments will openwhen the show starts inside the Kodak Theatre.Come for the cynicism. Stay for the subversion. Add your comment. WARNING: Not for the easily offended or ridiculously naive. This 84th Academy Awards show is supposed to be televised to more than 225 countries worldwide. So I’mtippingall you foreigners to something that Americans already know: The Oscars suck every year! And this year the Oscars are gonna suck worse than ever! Because we all know who’s going to win the marquee categories without a single envelope being ripped open. So welcome to THE MOST BORING OSCARS EVER! No one in Hollywood wanted to attend the Oscars this year. For the first time ever, instead of execs fighting for tickets, studio heads had to beg their spouses to accompany them. Why? Because the moguls and their lackeys couldn’t tolerate the prospect at sitting through the interminable telecast only to watch Harvey Weinstein gloat because he’ll win Best Picture et alfor the second straight year. Everybody agrees that The Artist is a fun pic buthardly Best Picture Oscar worthy. And yet almost everybody voted for it anyway. I can’t even blame Harvey’s usual Oscar tactics(payingAcademy members to fill out their ballots, redoing voters’ kitchens and bathrooms…).Hollywood only has itself to blame for Harveywood and bringing Harv back from the brink of extinction. So when he turns into a monster again, just remember that I said, “TOLDJA!” The anti-Artist protest began as early as the Red Carpet tonight. It was summed upby Kaui Hart Hemmings, author of the book TheDecendants on which the pic of the same name is based. Shetweeted: The Artist people were in line in front of me, and now Ismell like cigarettes and entitlement.”Bitter much? Morgan Freeman welcomes everyone to the 84th Academy Awards. Billy Crystal stars in a silent black and white movie. Like DUH! Billy Crystal as Coma Woman! Full-on kiss with George Clooney. ABC just lost every Red State viewer and probably won the GOP presidential race for Rick Santorum. Seriously, Academy, you clearly don’t want families to watch, do you? Nice touch that shtick with Billy Crystal as Sammy Davis Jr. (I forgot he did that impression.) But Crystal’splastic surgeryis so off-putting. His face looks like it was ironed — and I swear I can still see the scorch smarks. Since only 3 people saw most of the Best Picture Oscar contenders, of course Crystal’s movie reel had to include one popular pic — Mission: Impossible 4. My guess is Tom Cruise paid for the product placement of himself. (Not even M:I4‘s ads showed the actor!) It’s Billy’s 9th time hosting the Oscars, and he’s already bombing with his jokes. “We’re here at the beautiful Chapter 11 theatre” — reference to the fact that the Kodak Theatre is bankrupt. Two home viewers got that. Best line: “Enjoy yourselves. Because nothing can take the sting out the world’s problems than watching millionaires present each other with golden statues.” You won’t hear a truer statement all night. Oh god, Billy’s mincing (i.e. singing and dancing) onstage. Make it stop! He’s 63 (some say he’s really 65) and could break a hip. Did you notice why you can’t understand the lyrics to the songs he’s singing? Because of all the Botox, he can’t move his mouth. Billy Crystal tweeted before the show, “Opening number changed. War Horse broke his leg, had to put him down.”Funnier line than anything onstage now. Presenter Tom Hanks loves to pretend he’s The Mayor Of Hollywood. Onstage with that beard, he looks like the boat captainon a box of frozen fishsticks. (Isn’t he in a movie about a skipper vs the Somali pirates?) Cinematography Hugo(Paramount) – Robert Richardson Art Direction Hugo (Paramount) – Production Design: Dante Ferretti, Set Decoration: Francesca Lo Schiavo So about an hour before the Oscars began, show producer Brian Grazer phoned me. I think he was worried what I would say about him during my live-snarking. I assured himthat Iwouldn’t make him the scapegoat for the inevitably bad show. Instead, I told him that I’ll keep reminding you readers thatit would have been far worse under Brett Ratner! Grazer told me that theshow’s theme tonight is to celebrate watching movies in theaters “as we rapidly ascend into VOD”. (That’s video-on-demand forcivilians.) “Too many peopleare seeingmovies alone or at home with 2-3 people. We want to celebratethe collective community experience which is my indelible memory of movies, magnified by seeing it with hundreds of people. Otherwise, it doesnt have the same emotional impact,” Grazer told me. Exactly what about this show illusrates that? Who wants to be in the middle of a J-Lo-Cameron Diaz sandwich? Too bad it’s wasted on the zillion men watching the Oscars. All gay, they’d rather fix both actresses’ awful hair. Costume Design The Artist (The Weinstein Company) – Mark Bridges First mention of Harvey Weinstein so far — many more to follow. Ad nauseum. Makeup The Iron Lady (The Weinstein Company) – Mark Coulier and J. Roy Helland Uh-oh, the men didn’t mention Harvey. They’ll never work again for The Weinstein Co. But no worries: everyone else in Hollywood willreward them! These filmed vignettes were directed by Moneyball‘s Bennett Miller. With all her money, Barbra Streisand couldn’t afford shampoo? Hey, Adam Sandler won the most Razzies today for the worst movies of 2011 with 11 nominations for that abomination Jack & Kill. I mean, Jack & Jill. Just remember, I’m not nasty. My fingerswhich do the typing are the meanies. Blame them, not me. Sandra Bullock is great no matter what lame material she’s given. (From my peanut gallery: “Did Sandy Bullock get that outfit from the old Star Trek wardrobe? She looks like an alien ambassador.”) Foreign Language Film A Separation (Sony Pictures Classics) A Dreamlab Films Production, Iran First movie from Iran to win the Foreign Language Oscar. This guy went through hell and back. A shoo-in because of that. Reminds us that good movies can have great cultural impact. As long as Hollywood isn’t making them. Christian Bale is even hunkier as he ages. Go ahead and make my day and scream at me, Christian. Let me be your whipping gal. Actress in a Supporting Role Octavia Spencer in The Help (Touchstone) Foregone conclusion and well-deserved. Spencer reveals genuine emotion which is rare for this show. “Thank you, Academy, for putting me with the hottest guy in the room… Thank you Steven Spielberg for changing my life. Thank you Stacey Snider for changing my life,” she says as tears stream down her face. She also thanked The Help‘s writer/director Tate Taylor who changed agencies last week (from WME to CAA). I heard from a good sourcethat he told CAA he doesn’t care what he does next “as long as it’s not a movieabout pussies in pain” Focus group on The Wizard Of Oz? Genius concept,poor writing. But I Love the Second City/SCTV reunion. Of course, no one under the age of 55 has even heard of it… Way notto attract a younger audience, Acad. Justin Bieber was in the opening film? I missed him. I must have thought he was one of the Disney dwarves… Film Editing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Sony Pictures Releasing) Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall This pair won last year for The Social Network. Obviously, the Academy gives Oscars to people who survive working with that pain-in-the-ass David Fincher. Sound Editing Hugo (Paramount) – Philip Stockton and Eugene Gearty Sound Mixing Hugo (Paramount) – Tom Fleischman and John Midgley Surprising that Hugo is winning so many technical awards. On the other hand, with a cost of $200+M, it probably employed every member of every craft guild in Hollywood and beyond, and they all voted for it. The Graham King Films/Paramount 3D pic has only madedomestic$69.3M and foreign $46.4M for a worldwide total box office of $115.8M. In other words, it’ll never earn out. Was that Miss Piggy or Penelope Ann Miller? They both looked like pork sausage stuffed into their dresses. And Kermit looked as green as everymovie executive during the last half of 2011 when the box office was slumping badly and their bonuses werevanishing. Why the Cirque Du Soleil segment? Was this some sweetheart deal between the Academy andthe Kodak Theatre which houses the Cirque show the rest of the year?What a stretch to make this have anything to do with the movie biz. It would have been more entertaining towatch the writer’s room. If I see one more close-up of George Clooney, I’m gonna hurl. My god, Billy Crystal’s forehead is as big asHarvey’s ego. Crystal’s writers must have gotten their starts with Henny Youngman.It’s from the Bad Borscht Belt school of humor. I remember that nanosecond when Robert Downey Jr used to be funny. Gwyneth Paltrow, unfortunately, never was and still isn’t. Documentary (Feature) Undefeated (The Weinstein Company) A Spitfire Pictures Production, TJ Martin, Dan Lindsay and Richard Middlemas The delay button caught that winner’s swear word. Disney chief Bob Iger can put his heart back in his chest now that he won’t have to payany gazillion-dollar FCC fine. Another Harvey win. He’sgetting Oscars for movies hardly anyoneknew he was distributing, like this one. I remember that year or two when Chris Rock used to be funny. Animated Feature Film Rango (Paramount) – Gore Verbinski Another shoo-in. Johnny Depp deserves this as much as Verbinski since this film represents a different way of making these toons and Johnny acted out every movement of his toon character.That said, it was another Graham King/Paramount budget buster. It eked out a box office opening and may never earn out. (That grinding sound you hear is Brad Grey and Rob Moore sharpeningknives to cut me down to size tomorrow for picking on Paramount…) Somewhere along the way, Billy Crystal made a political joke dissing theGOP presidential candidates. Those few remainingRed State viewers turned off their TV sets, muttering epithets about how the Hollywood liberals didn’t dare poke fun atPresident Obama. Nice going, Acad: you lost 50% of America. I hear there was a Nipplegate controversyon the Red Carpet. (“Did anyone mention Jennifer Lopez’ nipple hanging out?” asks one of my peanut gallery gals watching the Oscars with 13 gay guys.) So that backstage bit by Melissa McCarthy with Billy Crystal was just embarrassing. Then again, I thought Bridesmaids was going to flop at the box office so what do I know. I’m not even smarter than the bigwigs who are running Universal into the ground right now. (“Is Emma Stone high? Or just channelling James Franco?,” my peanut gallery asks.) Shemadeeven Ben Stiller unfunny tonight. Visual Effects Hugo (Paramount) – Rob Legato, Joss Williams, Ben Grossman and Alex Henning New Oscar strategy: employ everyone in filmmaking artistry and you’ll winmultiple Academy Awardswhen they vote for you. Actor in a Supporting Role Christopher Plummer in Beginners (Focus Features) At age 82, the oldest actor ever to win an Oscar. “You’re only 2 years older than me, my darling. Where have you been all my life,” Plummer said to his Oscar. Manager Lou Pitt gets a shout-out.Nice guy who really deserves it. (From my peanut gallery: “There should be a spacial shout-out to whoever invented bronzer.”) When did Nick Nolte turn intoJolly St Nick? Isn’t Tom Sherakthe single worst Academy president, and the most uncharismatic (“Mr. Excitement,” as Crystal swiped)? Meanwhile, he thanks Brian Grazer and Billy Crystal. What he should have said was, “Thank you, Brian and Billy, for saving the Academy’s sorry asses and coming to the rescue when Dawn Hudson’s and my lousy idea to hire Brett Ratner and Eddie Murphy blew up in our faces.” Music (Original Score) The Artist (The Weinstein Company) – Ludovic Bource Tired of the frogs and their French accents yet?Another Oscar for Harvey Weinstein. Will Ferrell demonstrates yet again why he can’t get arrested in films anymore. Is Zach Galifianakis far behind? (I’ve now officiallylagging the live broadcast because I had to check the Internet for the spelling of Zach’s last name… I have to do it every time I mention Jim Gianopulos, too.) Music (Original Song) Man or Muppet from The Muppets (Walt Disney) Music and Lyric by Bret McKenzie Fox’s Tom Rothman just lost what was a 50-50 chance at an Oscar. (He had the Rio song.) Note to that studio’s execs: Don’t come into work Monday morning. You know what a day at the beach Tom is even when he’s not feeling robbed by Hollywood… Save yourselves. It’s astonishing how lame Billy Crystal’s mid-show jokes have been. Especially when you consider how many comedians work in and around Hollywood. Hell, I think the show couldjust go down to LA’s Mission District and pick up some homeless and do better. Or wander into any Starbucks in West Hollywood and get more laughs. Angelina Jolie is channelling her innervixen tonight. Love it! That pose she’s struck is saying: “Jennifer Aniston, just give up already. You can’t possibly have won that Stephen Huvane-orchestrated Sexiest Woman Of the Decade poll with me around.” Writing (Adapted Screenplay) The Descendants (Fox Searchlight) Screenplay by Alexander Payne and Nat Faxon & Jim Rash Writing (Original Screenplay) Midnight in Paris (Sony Pictures Classics) Written by Woody Allen If the Academy didn’t devalue comedy so much, this movie should win the Best Picture Oscar. But it won’t. And while I’m at it, the Academy has its head up its ass for not nominating the final Harry Potter movie. Think about it: there were 8 movies in this franchise and not a rotten one among the bunch. How rare is that for Hollywood? I do believe that if all those acting roles had been filled with American thesps instead of British, and more production and post jobs done in this country rather than across the Atlantic, then more Academy members would have voted for the pic out of sheer self-interest. Anyway, Harry Potter waseffing robbed. Short Film (Live Action) The Shore An All Ashore Production, Terry George and Oorlagh George Documentary (Short Subject) Saving Face A Milkhaus/Jungefilm Production, Daniel Junge and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy A movie portraying heroicplastic surgery? Of course Hollywood voted it an Oscar. Short Film (Animated) The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore A Moonbot Studios LA Production, William Joyce and Brandon Oldenburg I’d like to be in the middle of a sandwich with these two self-described ‘swamp rats from Lousiana”.Toons of fun… Is the show over yet? It’s dragged on almost 2 1/2-hours. Kill me now. Hmm, I heard Steven Spielberg wasn’t going to attend the Oscars this year because he was snubbed for Best Director. But there he is at the Kodak. Michael Douglas looks great. Sorry, but I don’t make fun of cancer. Directing The Artist (The Weinstein Company) – Michel Hazanavicius Any Hollywood hopes for an upset in these final marquee categories just went out the window. Another win for Harvey, who didn’t get a thank-you from the director. Um, seriously? Meryl Streep gets a longer introduction than anyone or anything tonight? Yes, she’s a national treasure. But she or her career isn’t dead or dying. That was a eulogy, not an intro. Barf to Oprah Winfrey, the most insufferable hypocrite in Hollywood — and that’s saying a LOT. OK, In Memoriam coming up. Don’t forget tolet me know how many movie R.I.P.s the incompetent Academy forgot to mention this year. (UPDATE: First omission:Andrew Laszlo, noted cinematographer. Next,Erland Josephson, who was Ingmar Bergmans everyman.) I just heard from someone that the telecast’s sound was screwed up for the East Coast feed. Aren’t you jealous? Don’t you wish you weren’t hearing this snorefest, either? This excruciatingly boring Oscars show is why no heterosexual man should ever be hired to produce it. Don’t know about you, but may I please have these hours of my life back? Those actor/filmmaker vignettes are becoming so annoying after the 58th one that I keep wanting to hit the ‘mute’ button to make them shut the fuck up. What kind of facelift was it that made Billy Crystal lose his neck? Ten minutes spent just to blow smoke up the ass of every Best Actor nominee? Like the Oscars aren’t fawning enough? And to have these cringe-worthy speeches read by Natalie Portman as Queen Amidala?(At least Jar Jar Binks would have been comic relief…) Actor in a Leading Role JeanDujardin in The Artist (The Weinstein Company) “I love your country,” Dujardin deadpans.He sounds exactly like Pepe Le Pew (“My leetle cabbage…”). He kinda channelled Howard Dean at the end of his speech there. (“And we’re taking this campaign to NY, and Pennsylvania… Yee-haw!”) Another Oscar for Weinstein. Another winner who didn’t thank him. At the Golden Globes everyone was comparing him to God.Nowthey’re not even mentioning him. What’d you do to them, Harv? Not again: this timeembarrassing tributes to each Lead Actress contender. Even Colin Firth looks pained by the kudos he’s reading. The Academy could have shaved30 minutes off the telecast without this nonsense. No wonder America hates Hollywood. Actress in a Leading Role MerylStreep in The Iron Lady (The Weinstein Company) Viola Davis was robbed. ROBBED! I couldn’t agree more with what Meryl said: “When they called my name had this feeling I could hear half of America going, ‘Oh no. Oh, come on. Why her? Again?’” Then Streep added, “But… Whatever.” Chalk up another win for Harvey. (Did Meryl thank him? I’m pretty sure not…) That’s 7 so far if my arithmetic is correct.Will there be an 8th? Tom Cruise is given the honor of handing out the Best Picture Oscar. Well, he did save his career with M:I4. Best Picture The Artist (The Weinstein Company) A La Petite Reine/Studio 37/La Classe Amricaine/JD Prod/France3 Cinma/Jouror Productions/uFilm Production, Thomas Langmann, Producer So the French schooled Hollywood by going back to the future with a black-and-white silent movie. The Weinstein Co took home 8 Oscars total. This last time Harvey wasn’t thanked, either. Thank god for small favors. UPDATE: I’m now toldLangmann did thank Harvey. “Its actually the first person he thanked,” someone named Frenchie tells me. “But the lousy sound might have swallowed that.” Hollywood thinks Weinstein instructed the winners not to kudo him out of fear that the film community will hate him more thanit already does. (“It’s Harvey’s world, and we must live in it,” movie mogul Tom Rothman was overhead saying from his seat inside the Kodak. How trafically true.) Goodbye, and I leave you with one last thought: What would Brett Ratner have done better/worse producing the Oscars show? At least there would have been porn.

Julie White Joins NBC Comedy Go On Among Latest Pilot Castings

EXCLUSIVE: After fielding several offers, Julie White (Transformers) has become the first actor cast in NBC’s comedy pilot Go On, written by Friends alum Scott Silveri, who is exec producing with Karey Burke and the pilot’s director Todd Holland. The single-camera project centers on an irreverent yet charming sportscaster who tries to move on from loss and finds solace among the members of his mandatory group therapy sessions. Tony-winner White will play Anne, a feisty and recently widowed woman stuck in the anger stage of grief. The actress, repped by Paradigm and Himber Entertainment, recently completed filming Steven Speilberg’s feature about Abraham Lincoln. Former Greek star Scott Michael Foster has been cast in ABC’s drama pilot Zero Hour. The ABC Studios project centers on a man who, after spending 20 years as the editor of a skeptics magazine, becomes involved in one the most compelling conspiracies in human history. Foster’s casting stems from his talent holding deal with ABC. He will play a member of the Modern Skeptic magazine staff. Writer-comedian Ed Weeks has landed a lead in Mindy Kaling’s Fox single-camera comedy pilot, in which she stars as a young Bridget Jones-type On/Gyn balancing personal and professional life, surrounded by quirky co-workers in a small office. Weeks will play a hot doctor who is a complete flirt and a ladies man. Izabela Vidovic has been cast as Nick (John Stamos) and Katie’s (Gillian Vigman) 10-year daughter in Fox’s comedy pilot Little Brother.

Warner Bros. Somehow Planning Another I Am Legend for Will Smith

At one point following the critical and commercial success of his 2007 post-apocalyptic blockbuster I Am Legend, director Francis Lawrence entertained the notion of coming back with star Will Smith for prequel, but eventually that possibility trailed off and Lawrence casted doubt onto his involvement with the potential project. But today Warner Bros. announced a deal with Akiva Goldsman and Overbrook Entertainment, who have tapped screenwriter Arash Amel to write a follow-up to the $584M hit. Whether or not it'll be a prequel or some sort of direct sequel is unknown, though it's reportedly being created for Smith. Let's speculate away: Just how WB can possibly pull off another installment? What makes the project a curious -- and, frankly, conspicuous -- one is the way in which Lawrence wrapped up I Am Legend, based on Richard Matheson's 1954 sci-fi novel. [Spoiler alert] Following a global pandemic that wiped out 90% of the world's population, scientist Robert Neville (Smith) had only just discovered a cure when, at the film's conclusion, he faced an onslaught of mutated vampire-people solo and seemingly met his own demise. Of course WB wants their star and his famously potent box office draw to headline another I Am Legend movie. A prequel would explain Smith's presence most easily, but Deadline suggests that won't be the case. So how might they bring Smith back otherwise? Retcon the last scene in the first film, using the alternate ending in which Neville makes grudging peace with the vampire thingies? Maybe the survivors colony has cloning capabilities? Hell, why not bring in a long-lost twin brother for Neville who became a brilliant virologist as well - I Am Also Legend? Whatever it turns out to be, at least it has a shot at being "one of the greatest movies ever made," amirite? Warner Bros Plans More I Am Legend With Will Smith [Deadline]

The Artist Rules The 2012 BAFTAs!

Seven awards for the silent filmThe French are coming!Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist ruled the 2012 BritishAcademyFilmAwards with seven prizes, including the big ones for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Original Screenplay. Ladies and gentlemen, c'est incroyable.The French silent film also won Best Original Music, Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design in an impressive haul. While the BAFTAs are not traditionally a perfect predictor of the Oscars, what with Brit home-field advantage and a slightly different set of priorities, this will add to the film's momentum going into that final push. Trailing behind that achievement were four films with two awards each:Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Iron Lady, Hugo and Senna. The Descendants and Moneyball, not to mentionGeorge Clooney and Brad Pitt, went home empty-handed, as did the likes of War Horse and Shame.Tinker Tailor, on home turf, took Outstanding British Film and Best Adapted Screenplay, with screenwriter Peter Straughan wryly thanking The Artist for not being nominated in that category before delivering an emotional tribute to his late wife and co-screenwriter Bridget O'Connor.Best Actress went to MerylStreep for her turn in The Iron Lady, which also picked up a well-deserved Best Make-Up &Hair - because getting that helmet hair in place is no mean feat. Streep lost a shoe on the way onstage, prompting a Cinderella moment when presenter Colin Firth ran to retrieve it and replaced it for her.Elsewhere, Hugo beat Harry Potter to Best Production Design and also took Best Sound - but Potter got Best Visual Effects as some sort of compensation. Senna, meanwhile, took home Best Documentary and Best Editing.
