Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach have launched movie fans into excitement with the latest trailer for their new movie, “Barbie.” Gerwig directs the project and she also co-wrote the script with her partner Baumbach. Previously, both scored Oscar nominations in the same year for their work on “Little Women” (Adapted Screenplay for Gerwig) and “Marriage Story” (Original Screenplay for Baumbach). With “Barbie,” the pair of filmmakers could become the first couple to win an Oscar for the same feature film since 2018.
Gerwig and Baumbach would be up for Best Original Screenplay together, while Gerwig could also be up for Best Director, and both could be up for Best Picture (as producers). If they were to win together, they’d become the 19th couple to take home a pair of Oscars for the same movie.

The films in the running for the 2023 Best Film Editing Oscar are “The Banshees of Inisherin,” “Elvis,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” “Tar,” and “Top Gun: Maverick.” Our current odds indicate that “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (10/3) is the frontrunner, followed in order by “Top Gun: Maverick” (37/10), “Elvis” (9/2), “The Banshees of Inisherin” (9/2), and “Tar” (9/2).
Five of the six individual cutters competing for the gold this year are first-time nominees, making for the category’s highest newcomer rate since 2018. In that case, Lee Smith emerged victorious on his third bid for “Dunkirk.” The current group of rookies consists of Eddie Hamilton (“Top Gun: Maverick”), Paul Rogers (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”), Monika Willi (“Tar”), and “Elvis” duo Jonathan Redmond and Matt Villa.
Redmond and Villa would be the 18th pair of editors to win this award together and the third to do so within the last decade, after Alfonso Cuarón and...

The films in the running for the 2022 Best Film Editing Oscar are “Don’t Look Up,” “Dune,” “King Richard,” “The Power of the Dog,” and “tick, tick… Boom!.” Our current odds indicate that “Dune” (82/25) is the frontrunner, followed in order by “The Power of the Dog” (19/5), “Don’t Look Up” (9/2), “King Richard” (9/2), and “tick, tick… Boom!” (9/2).
Four of the six individual cutters up for the gold this year are past nominees, with both Pamela Martin (“King Richard”) and Andrew Weisblum having now received their first notices in over a decade. As the respective editors of “The Fighter” and “Black Swan,” they initially challenged each other in 2011 but were ultimately bested by Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall (“The Social Network”). Weisblum shares his current nomination with first-timer Myron Kerstein. The other newcomer in the group is Peter Sciberras (“The Power of the Dog”).

The films in the running for the 2021 Best Film Editing Oscar are: Yorgos Lamprinos (“The Father”), Chloé Zhao (“Nomadland”), Frédéric Thoraval (“Promising Young Woman”), Mikkel E.G. Nielsen (“Sound of Metal”) and Alan Baumgarten (“The Trial of the Chicago 7”). Our current odds indicate that “Sound of Metal” (69/20) will take the prize, followed in order by “The Trial of the Chicago 7” (71/20), “Nomadland” (9/2), “The Father” (9/2), and “Promising Young Woman” (9/2)
Of the five individuals in this year’s lineup, only Baumgarten has been nominated before. He, Jay Cassidy, and Crispin Struthers were collectively recognized for “American Hustle” in 2014 but lost to Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger (“Gravity”).
Any one of the newcomers could become the fifth cutter in eight years to prevail on their first outing. Sanger was the first, followed by Margaret Sixel, John Ottman, and Andrew Buckland.

Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani have the odds against them in the Oscar race for Best Original Screenplay. Their film, “The Big Sick,” trails in our predictions with 80/1 odds, according to the combined predictions of thousands of users who have made their picks at Gold Derby. But anyone who’s seen the film knows that this married couple has a tendency to overcome the odds.
“The Big Sick” is a fictionalized account of how Gordon and Nanjiani met and fell in love against all odds — including the life-threatening illness that gives the film its title. It’s an unconventional love story where cultural expectations, an induced coma and racist hecklers all need to be overcome.
And there are more hurdles ahead in their quest to bring this love story to the Oscar stage, especially the fact that their screenplay is the sole nomination for “The Big Sick.” Compare that...

Of all the tech categories at the Oscars, Best Editing is the one most closely tied to Best Picture. In the 77 years that the award has been handed out, 33 have gone to Best Picture winners, most recently "The Hurt Locker" (Chris Innis, Bob Murawski) in 2009. -Insertgroups:8- It seems fitting, then, that Best Picture front-runner "Argo" would be in the lead to take this prize. The film won the Ace Eddie Award in the Drama category, while fellow nominee "Silver Linings Playbook" took the Musical/Comedy prize. Both films face strong competition in the likes of fellow Best Picture nominees "Life of Pi," "Lincoln," and "Zero Dark Thirty." Here’s a look at the chances of each nominee: William Goldenberg, "Argo" 2012 has been a good year for William Goldenberg: the former two-time nominee ("The Insider," 1999; "Seabiscuit," 2003) picked up his third and fourth bids this year ...

After the Academy’s attempt at honoring genre during the live show, we saw a real tribute to horror by someone who is truly one of our own. Bob Murawski thanked Sam Raimi for giving him his “first cutting job” in Army of Darkness. His Best Editing award for Hurt Locker was shared by his partner Chris Innis, whom he met on the Raimi produced TV show “American Gothic.”
I gotta say, never since Peter Jackson’s (who was nominated this year for District 9) thank you to the crew of Meet the Feebles has there been such an excellent genre shout out.
On top of working with Raimi for over a decade, Murawski also runs Grindhouse Releasing, which distributes and restores cult and horror films with a focus on extreme Italian cinema. Pieces, The Beyond, Cannibal Holocaust, and I Drink Your Blood are just a few names you’ll find in Grindhouse Releasing's catalogue.

It’s been a night of glitz and glamour. But none of the winners thanked Movie-Moron. Here are the 2010 Oscars video highlights.
The opening stand-up set with hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin had the whole world asking “Why isn’t Steve Martin this funny in movies any more?” -
Called the best moment by some, worst by others, here’s Ben Stiller as an Avatar. And a stony-faced James Cameron -
Actually this was the worst moment, the director of Best Documentary Short having his speech interrupted by his producer. The face says it all… -
Sandra Bullock, who of course deserved to win Best Actress over Meryl Streep (riiiiiiight?), pays touching tribute to her mother -
Jeff Bridges wins Best Actor and reminds us why he’s one of the nicest, most down to earth guys in Hollywood -

We can finally close the book on 2009. The Oscars have come and gone and The Hurt Locker has triumphed, winning Best Picture and five more awards including Best Director and Original Screenplay. I started tracking this season's Oscar contenders way back in July of 2009 and it has been a long road and each year I'd like to think I learn a little something new about the process.
The first thing to realize is that the likelihood the film you believe to be the best of the year most likely will not win Best Picture and may not be recognized at all. What you have to hope for is that quality wins out over mediocrity in whatever category we are discussing.

War movie The Hurt Locker was the toast of Hollywood on Sunday night after leading the Oscars with six honours, including Best Director and Best Picture.
Kathryn Bigelow made Oscars history when she became the first female to land the top director honour, seeing off competition from her ex-husband James Cameron in the process.
Calling the huge win "the moment of a lifetime," Bigelow dedicated the award to "the women and men in the military who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world."
The gritty film also claimed the night's sound awards, film editing and original screenplay prizes - as it collected six of the nine accolades it was nominated for.
Avatar, the world's biggest grossing movie ever, was a triple winner and Up, Crazy Heart and Precious won double.
All the pre-show favourites won the big acting prizes with Jeff Bridges claiming Best Actor, Sandra Bullock Best Actress, Mo'Nique Best Supporting Actress and Christoph Waltz Best Supporting Actor.
Bigelow led what became a great night for firsts - Bullock became the first star to land a Golden Raspberry dishonour the same year as an Oscar - she picked up the Worst Actress Razzie for All About Steve on Saturday; Bridges won his first Oscar for Crazy Heart after five attempts, and 33 of 39 Academy Award winners took home their first Oscars, with The Hurt Locker trio of Bigelow, writer Mark Boal and sound editor Paul N.J. Ottosson picking up their first and second accolades at the 82nd annual prizegiving.
The full list of winners at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood is:
Best Supporting Actor: Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds)

A couple of Academy crowd-favorites won the top acting awards, and The Hurt Locker got the biggest prize of the night!
Sandra Bullock won her first Best Actress award — and even she seemed surprised by the win. Jeff Bridges didn’t seem overly shocked to nab Best Actor, but he still gave a aww-inducing speech celebrating his eminent show-biz family. We particularly liked the dude with the crazy hair who won for Sound Editing and Sound Mixing (Paul Ottosson of The Hurt Locker) and yawn Sandy Powell won for the third time for costume design (The Young Victoria). And you’re probably looking for all the rest of the winners, neatly formatted …

Oscar winners 2010 list is here.
We already wrote about possible winners and competition between- James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow, so we can say that we’re not at all surprised that this was Kathryn Bigelow’s night.
The Hurt Locker won 6 Oscars, including honour for Best Movie and Best Director.
So, Bigelow became the first woman to win an Oscar for Best Director.
On the other hand, the movie that still sits on the top of box office, James Cameron’s Avatar definetely had a bad luck. The movie won only 3 golden statues in technical categories – Art Direction, Cinematography and Visual Effects.
We can’t help but think that this show really seemed like Bigelow’s sweet revenge.
Sandra Bullock was named best actress for The Blind Side after she proudly attended Razzie 2010 event and took completely different award.

Well, there weren't many major surprises nor many particularly memorable moments, but we still had a lot of fun watching the Oscars here tonight. Thanks to all of you who tuned in for the live podcast and joined us in the live chat over at Ustream [1]. As you may have heard, The Hurt Locker cleaned up, taking home a total of 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, making Kathryn Bigelow the first female director to ever win the award. James Cameron's Avatar, on the other hand, won only for visual effects, art direction and cinematography. All of the acting categories went off as expected, with Jeff Bridges and Sandra Bullock winning Best Actor and Best Actress, while Christoph Waltz and Mo'Nique won the supporting trophies. If there was an upset at all, it was probably The Secret in Their Eyes (El Secreto de Sus Ojos), which beat...

James Cameron's "Avatar," nominated for 9 nods along with "The Hurt Locker" took home three trophies for Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, and Best Art Direction.
Bigelow made history by being the first woman to win the Best Director trophy. She called her winning the "moment of a lifetime," and it is indeed!

The Hurt Locker as predicted by many was the big winner of the night getting 6 total awards including Best Director and Best Picture. Avatar got some heavy weight tech awards but The King of the World’s crown was relinquished to a Queen as Kathryn Bigelow beat out the most financially successful film ever, Avatar.

War movie The Hurt Locker was the toast of Hollywood on Sunday night after leading the Oscars with six honours, including Best Director and Best Picture.
Kathryn Bigelow made Oscars history when she became the first female to land the top director honour, beating ex-husband James Cameron in the process.
Calling the huge win "the moment of a lifetime," Bigelow dedicated the award to "the women and men in the military who risk their lives on a daily basis in Iraq and Afghanistan and around the world."
The gritty film also claimed the night's sound awards, film editing and original screenplay prizes - as it collected six of the nine accolades it was nominated for.
Avatar, the world's biggest grossing movie ever, was a triple winner and Up, Crazy Heart and Precious won double.
All the pre-show favourites won the big acting prizes with Jeff Bridges claiming Best Actor, Sandra Bullock Best Actress, Mo'Nique Best Supporting Actress and Christoph Waltz Best Supporting Actor.
Bigelow led what became a great night for firsts - Bullock became the first star to land a Golden Raspberry dishonour the same year as an Oscar - she picked up the Worst Actress Razzie for All About Steve on Saturday; Bridges won his first Oscar for Crazy Heart after five attempts, and 33 of 39 Academy Award winners took home their first Oscars, with The Hurt Locker trio of Bigelow, writer Mark Boal and sound editor Paul N.J. Ottosson picking up their first and second accolades at the 82nd annual prizegiving.

The biggest night in Hollywood is here and over the next few hours they’ll be tears, cheers and (hopefully) a few surprises as the 82nd Academy Awards are handed out.
The sordid trudge up the red carpet has finished and I’m going to be blogging live as the winners are announced, you can have a look at our Oscars predictions here and follow us on as the Twitter storm rages, or get all interactive with FilmXtra Tom who is video blogging the Oscars here.
My hopes are with Colin Firth and Carey Mulligan and I’m secretly hoping that Tarantino walks off with Best Picture for Inglourious Basterds and Coraline bests Up for Best Animated Feature.
Ok… the time is upon us. I’ll be updating the blog with the winners as I go, as well as providing as coherent a commentary as possible.

By reinstituting 10 best picture nominees, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences set out to shake up its 82nd annual awards show and, in the process, ended up making history.
Summit's "The Hurt Locker," with just $14.7 million in domestic grosses, captured a leading six Oscars on Sunday night and defied the odds to emerge as best picture -- defeating five movies that had grossed more than $100 million each domestically, including Fox's "Avatar," the top-grossing movie of all time.
In fact, though the 10 nominees brought a number of studio movies to the party, the indies still ruled with Fox Searchlight's "Crazy Heart" and Lionsgate's "Precious" also winning key awards.
As part of "Locker's" triumphant night, Kathryn Bigelow became the first woman to receive a directing Oscar, which was presented to her by Barbra Streisand, who appeared to savor the envelope-opening since her own efforts to break down barriers for female...

In case you don’t know what the ‘British Film and Television Awards’ are, it’s like the British version of the Oscars, only, instead of Jon Stewart or Chris Rock, we get Jonathan Ross bombing with every joke.

To be honest, there aren’t any real surprises here in the winners. Avatar wins where it’s expected, as does The Hurt Locker. British historical dramas do well in their catagories, as bloody always. So, place your bets now for a very similar list at the Oscars…

"The Hurt Locker" isn't feeling any pain right now.
Following on the heels of an original screenplay prize at the Writers Guild of America awards, "The Hurt Locker" took an impressive six awards home from the 2010 Orange British Academy Film Awards, the British equivalent of the Oscars, on Sunday (Feb. 21).
The Iraq war drama won for best film, best director for Kathryn Bigelow, original screenplay for Mark Boal, cinematography, editing and sound.
"The Hurt Locker" has been on a roll lately. Besides the WGA, the Directors Guild of America also recognized Bigelow with their top prize. With the Oscars just around the corner, it bodes well for "The Hurt Locker."
Of interest to the "Twilight" fans is Kristen Stewart's win for the Orange Rising Star Award. Stewart, who plays Bella in the "Twilight" saga and stars in the Sundance hits "The Runaways" and "Welcome to the Rileys," beat out Carey Mulligan,...

As the great and good are quickly ushered out of London's salubrious Royal Opera House, shoved into the nearest waiting limo and whisked to their respective after-show parties, the time has come to tally and take stock of the big winners at this year's British Academy Film Awards.
As with all of the major films awards of 2010 thus far, the big battle at this year's Baftas was between James Cameron's Avatar and his ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker and the big winner on the night was Ms Bigelow who blew away all the competition with a grand total of six awards including (surprisingly but brilliantly) Best Film and Best Director. Avatar, meanwhile, was relegated to two relatively minor awards for Best Production Design and Best Special Effects.
Quite how this will affect the runners and the riders for this year's Oscars remains to be seen but it...

In our "V.F. Oscar Picks" series, we back up the choices we made on the new Vanity Fair Hollywood iPhone App, which you can download for free here. Legendary Apocalypse Now editor Walter Murch calls the job of cutting a movie, “sort of a cross between a short-order cook and a brain surgeon.” All five nominees for the best film-editing Oscar this year reflect Murch’s mix of cooked-to-order emotion and scalpel-wielding precision, but only one film revolutionizes the craft of editing itself. The diverse list of editing nominees is led in buzz by The Hurt Locker, a war thriller of almost unbearable tension, artfully wrought by Bob Murawski and Chris Innis. The category also includes two triumphs of tonal hopscotching: Precious, its bleak reality and fantasy scenes gracefully interwoven by Joe Klotz, and Inglourious Basterds, with gore and comedy smartly paced by Tarantino stalwart Sally Menke.
