Oscars 2013 Full Winners List
The 85th Academy Awards took place last night at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood hosted by Seth MacFarlene.
Argo won best picture despite the fact Ben Affleck was snubbed for the Best Director nomination. It’s the first time that has happened since Driving Miss Daisy in 1989. The film also won for Best Editing and Best Adapted Screenplay.
Surprising nobody, British Actor Daniel Day-Lewis made Oscars history by becoming the first actor to win three Best Actor awards, taking home this year’s honour for his outstanding transformation into Abraham Lincoln.
Anne Hathaway was another seemingly inevitable winner as she added a Best Supporting Actress statue to her existing collection of Golden Globe and BAFTA awards.
Ang Lee won a second Oscar for best directing adding to his Brokeback Mountain award for this year’s Life Of Pi. While Christoph Waltz also collected his second Best Supporting Actor award for his scene stealing turn as a charming Bounty Hunter in Django Unchained. Rounding off a night of double victors, Quentin Tarantino took home Best Original Screeplay for his Django Unchained as well.
Adele performed and then won best original song for Skyfall, interestingly marking the first time a Bond theme song has ever won.
One of the night’s most popular winners is surely Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence. The beautiful Best Actress winner was so moved she actually stumbled on her way to collect the award, before recovering gracefully to joke about it and collect her well-deserved statue.

First Look At New Spider-Man Costume
Check Out the first official look at Andrew Garfield’s new suit for The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Peter Parker will of course be slipping back into the familiar rd and blue spandex costume for the superhero sequel, but the most hardcore comic book fans will likely notice minor modifications from the first film in the rebooted franchise. Most notably, Spider-Man now has eyes that more closely resemble the characters most classic comics look, with white eyes outlined in black. Vision being an especially important Spidey sense when you have to choose between Emma Stone’s Gewn Stacey and Shailene Woodley as Mary Jane Watson.
Catching Fire First Official Poster
This is the first official teaser poster for Hunger Games Sequel Catching Fire, showcasing Oscar winning star Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark. The poster borrows from the classic school of Soviet union propaganda and feels especially appropriate given Jennifer’s well deserved Best Actress win at this year’s Oscars.
Exclusive video interview below as well with Catching Fire star Sam Claflin talking about his role as Finnick Odair in the sequel and working alongside ‘diamond’ girl Jennifer Lawrence.
Megan Fox Joins New Ninja Turtles Movie
Until recently it was believed that following an alleged script leak that drew a shower of internet criticism and outright ridicule, plans for Michael Bay’s new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie had been indefinitely dropped by Paramount.
However Michael Bay delivered a double dose of surprise by announcing via Twitter that his former Transformers muse Megan Fox would in fact be joining the cast of the seemingly revitalized project. Bay tweeted
“TMNT: we are bringing Megan Fox back into the family!”
It was always assumed by most fans that Paramount would eventually resume plans to reboot the long running and consistently popular/lucrative franchise, as soon as dust settled over angry reactions to the potential script. However, it is a massive surprise to see Megan Fox join the project. Michael Bay dropped Fox for the third Transformers film after the actress infamously compared the explosion loving director to Adolf Hitler.
In an ill-advised interview with Wonderland Magazine in 2009 the then 23 year old pin-up described Bay as an on set tyrant who was “a nightmare to work for” and had “no social skills at all” in real life, making him “hopelessly awkward”. Fox also claimed that she and co-star Shia Labeouf almost died when they made the Transformers movies because of the ‘insane’ things Michael Bay forced them to do.
Following flop horror Jennifer’s Body, Fox’s acting career virtually fell apart, whilst Bay instead turned to lingerie model Rosie Huntington-Whitely as eye candy for the third Transformers film. Jonathan Liebseman who is directing the new Turtles movie has been credited with helping producer Bay end the long running feud with Fox to secure her services, presumably playing the Turtles pretty reporter sidekick April O’Neil.
The film is allegedly set for a release in May 2014, suggesting production will soon begin in earnest. It remains to be seen whether or not the previous script that dramatically re-imagined the Ninja Turtles as mystical space warriors will remain the basis of the new film.
