Roger Ebert gets computerized voice - plans on announcing Oscar predictions on tomorrow's Oprah. More here.
FUN FACT:Walt Disney has received the most nominations than any one individual in Oscar history. How many? A whopping 59! Thought you might enjoy that after the last movie review.
NEWS: Hurt Locker producer and financier Nicolas Chartier has found himself in some hot water, with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences considering legal action. Chartier was caught sending several emails to academy members urging them to squeeze out Avatar and vote for the Hurt Locker for Best Picture. According to academy bylaws, it is against the rule to "attempt to promote any film or achievement by casting a negative light on a competing film or achievement," Possible consequences - pull the movie from the category (highly unlikely), revoke his membership or worse, take away his Oscar tickets! I actually think it's a good idea - we should start applying it to American politics.
