Report: Oscar award presenters will be kept secret until showtime…

You will never know who this year’s award presenters will be for the Oscars ’cause the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are keeping the presenters secret until showtime, Feb. 22nd. So for now all you can do is guess. Every year on the Oscars, they usually do announce award presenters before showtime but this year they are not.

The Associated Press reports:

Oh come on now, they just don’t want to give out any surprises that John Travolta will be there to present an award for some category. It’s obvious why they are doing this. Maybe Jennifer Hudson will be there to present an award too.

The rest of the award presenters will be pretty obvious: Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, George Clooney,  Johnny Depp, Leo Dicaprio, Jake Gyllenhaal, etc.

I’m sure will see some different surprises as well. I’d like to see Michelle Williams present an award for “Best Male Actor in a Supporting Role” so she can give the award to Heath but I doubt that will happen.

I think it will be cool if Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson presents an award for “Best Male Actor in a Leading Role” so he can give the award to Mickey Rourke for “The Wrestler”. That would be appropriate I think.

I think the obvious reason that they are keeping the presenters a secret, it’s all about surprising us with John Travolta being there. End of story.

Very cool. This year’s Superbowl will be huge, Hudson singing the “Anthem” and Springsteen doing halftime!!! I hope Hudson can pull it off without getting nervous or scared in front of thousands of people. I’m sure she’ll do great.

Report: Mariska Hargitay star of “Law and Order: SVU” suffers partially collapse lung…

TV actress Mariska Hargitay, mostly well known for playing the role Det. Olivia Benson on “Law and Order: SVU”, suffers a partially collapse lung. She will continue to play on “Law and Order: SVU” the rest of the season as she is expected to recover quickly. This news was announced by Dick Wolf, the creator of the “Law and Order” TV series.

The Associated Press reports:

Lungs collapses are no fun. Glad she’s okay. I’ve always liked her character on Law and Order SVU, she is also a pretty cute looking woman for her age as well.

Report: Heath’s Golden Globe trophy belongs to daughter Matilda now…

Heath’s mother says the late actor’s daughter will be keeping the award that the legendary actor won from last night’s Golden Globe awards. Heath won of course for Best Supporting Actor for “The Dark Knight” as the Joker. I would imagine that the Oscar that Heath will probably win will be going to Matilda as well.

More on it here:

That’s a good thing they are doing and a perfect way for Matilda to get to know her father as she gets older.

When Heath picks up his Oscar award, Christopher Nolan shouldn’t pick it up for him. Who should? No one other than Matilda herself. It would be so cute to see Michelle walk up on stage with Matilda to pick up Heath’s Oscar. Matilda should go on stage at the Oscars to pick up Heath’s award. I doubt it would happen but it would be a very touching moment for the Oscars. The Oscar statue maybe a little heavy for a little girl to pick up but I”m sure award presenters or Michelle will help her out.

Golden Globes 2009 winners!!!

Here’s the winners:

http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=awardcentral&jump=contenders&id=news&articleid=VR1117998361

A couple of shockers that I never saw coming: Anna Paquin winning for her vampire TV show “True Blood” on HBO, that was pretty unexpecting and Mickey Rourke winning for “The Wrestler” was quite a surprise as well.

The rest of the winners however, I already saw coming and knew it was going to happen.

If you think “Slumdog Millionaire” will sweep the Oscars as well, I don’t think that will happen. I think the nominations for the Oscars will be slightly different than the films nominated from the Golden Globes.

I hope “Slumdog Millionaire” doesn’t hog up the Oscars as well, the Oscars this year should be “The Dark Knight’s” year.

Back to tonight Golden Globes, a good show, I was impressed with it. “Slumdog” does look kind of interesting but I wouldn’t see it in theater, I’ll wait for DVD. I’m going to have to wait for DVD for “The Wrestler” also since I don’t see it playing in the Capital District anywhere.

I’ll post pictures and stuff about the Golden Globes tomorrow.

Mickey Rourke picks up Golden Globe for “The Wrestler”…

Mickey Rourke just picked up his win for “The Wrestler”, Rourke won for “Best Leading Actor in a Drama”.

As Mickey made his way up to the stage, he was so nervous that he couldn’t even walk up the stairs. He almost fell as he went up. He also had a tough time speaking through the mic. Through the mic, Rourke joked, “I know Aronofsky, doesn’t like being called a tough son of a bitch, but man, you’re a touch son of a bitch”, then Aronofsky flips Rourke the middle finger, LOL! It was all uncensored too since it was live.

Congrats to Mickey, he deserves it. I never seen “The Wrestler” and I’m dying to see the film so badily. Mickey will probably end up winning an Oscar too.

The Golden Globes is a great show so far!!!

I’m watching the Golden Globes as I’m typing this and I’m actually enjoying the show. Usually I don’t like the Golden Globes but this year is actually quite amazing.

Martin Scorsese tributing Spielberg almost brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. The Chris Nolan speech when he picked up the award for Heath Ledger was emotional too. Springsteen won the award for his song “The Wrestler” and I have a feeling Springsteen will win an Oscar this year.

As I’m typing this, Collin Farrell just picked up his award for the film “In Bruges”.

After the show’s over with, I’ll post the results and the winners. So far, “Slumdog Millionaire” is sweeping everything.

Report: Travolta cancels Golden Globe appearance…

As I pretty much saw this coming anyways, John Travolta has cancelled his appearance for tomorrow night’s Golden Globe Awards, on the last minute.

More on it here:

http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b78521_john_travolta_cancels_golden_globes.html

Yep, John is definitely taking a long break from his career and this is a good sign of it too. He could even be done with movies for good if that is what’s best for his family.

Get well John, and stay strong.

Thought: Will John Travolta show at the Golden Globes tomorrow night?

John Travolta is scheduled to appear at the Golden Globes tomorrow night, but will he show? He is scheduled to present an award for “Best Original Song” and he is nominated for an award with Miley Cyrus for the animated kiddie film “Bolt” (which he and Miley will probably win).

I think John will show tomorrow. While John is a human being and has emotions like every human being, he is a very strong man, so I think he will continue to work on his career. He’ll be there tomorrow.

I’m sure John will have a tough time speaking through the mic on stage but I think he’ll be fine. I’ll be watching the Golden Globes tomorrow night. Just for something to watch on TV.
