Two months and three days after...

Wandering about on Imdb (who doesn't do it?), I ended up on Kate Winslet's profile. And she has no new projects. Not even those secret ones you have to pay to see (they call it Imdb pro...). Ms. Mendes won the oscar two months and three days ago and she looks in no urge to get a second one.

Her fellow winners think otherwise. Heath Ledger obviously has no new projects but The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is opening at Cannes, so he may be getting awards again.

Pé has already appeared in Almodóvar latest Los abrazos rotos (and has a cameo in La concejala antropófaga) which will be competing at Cannes. She's also done voicework for a seemingly terrible movie where hamsters speak and of course sings and dances in Nine.

And last but not least Mr. Penn seems not to be getting a third next year. He has four projects but all of them to be released in 2010 (the year when Sex and the City 2 is getting all Oscars). The tree of life, Fair Game, Cartel and The Three Stooges.

Anyway, Kate get your ass off your couch and do some movies, I love them!!!

WOW (aka Oscars Night)

The Oscars are done and I have more doubts than Sister Aloysius. How many times can you fall in love with Hugh Jackman on the same night? How self-absorbed can I be? Not to brag or anything but I was dedicated the two first awards. I am a Spanish actor and a proud homosexual. After watching The Wrestler I was hoping Marisa would win but Penélope took it home. I'm glad as well. She's great in the role and the speech nearly brought me to tears. Again I nearly cried with Dustin Lance Black's speech. Two awards, potential tears and no tissues... How sweet can Sarah Jessica Parker's voice be? She was beautiful, but she had some kind of tumour in a Broderick-shape. Weird. What was that thing Philip Seymour Hoffman had on his head? Weirder. Why didn't Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman actually kiss? How can you be as cute as Anne playing Nixon? Not even Amy Adams would have topped that sweetness. How incredibly talented is Beyoncé? Why Freida Pinto's dress had that ugly sleeve? Was Jennifer Anniston in a sudden rush when she realized who was sitting front row? Did Angelina inappropriately touched Brad when Jen was looking? Did Jack Black noticed some of this? Did Natalie Portman suffer while presenting? Why every single frame of WALL·E makes me love the world? Why didn't Matilda received his daddy's award? Why did Reese Witherspoon look like she was high? Why were both Penn and Winslet so sober yet deliciously happy when they won? Who will be nominated next year? Is it time to start wondering already? Who will host? Oh my God!!
I have such doubts.

Wrestling with Aries

Amazing movie.
Beautiful and painful performances.
Aronofsky nails it again.
I feel like hugging Tomei.
I've got no more words.

Golden Knights Night

Tonight I'm watching the Oscars for the first time in my not-so-short-now life. Before the awards I'm seeing The Wrestler, so maybe I won't be going for Penn and Adams after all...
Here are my choices in some categories:
Picture: The Reader
Director: Stephen Daldry
Lead actress: Kate Winslet
Lead actor: Sean Penn
Supporting actress: Amy Adams
Supporting actor: Heath Ledger
Original Screenplay: WALL·E
Adapted Screenplay: The Reader
Cinematography: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Art Direction: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Costume Design: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Editing: Milk
Foreign Film: Entre les murs (the only one I could see)
Score: Milk
Song: Down to Earth
Animated: WALL·E
It's easy to suppose they're not predictions (if they were, there would be a lot more Slumdog around here).
Let's see what happens...
