Nine films are nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards this year, begging the question: who deserved a tenth spot on that list? "Oscars 2012: 10 Spot" answers that question, as the MTV Movies team highlights some of 2011's greatest films and argues why they deserved a nod as the tenth Best Picture nominee.

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" deserved the tenth spot in the Best Picture category for reasons based in both quality and politics. Many Oscar analysts reasoned that the Tomas Alfredson film could pull off a surprise nomination based on the prominence of the British contingent within the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences, a big factor in last year's win for "The King's Speech," but that was not the case.

The spy story, based on the novel by John le Carré, has been loved in the UK since its release and the famous miniseries adaptation starring Alec Guinness, so revisiting "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" on the big screen came with challenges already built in.

What Alfredson delivered was an aesthetically beautiful, cold and cool suspense thriller that lived up to the legacy set by all of the previous iterations. He most certainly had the help of Gary Oldman, who turned in a career performance as the subdued but exacting George Smiley, the man tasked with finding a Soviet mole in British intelligence.

In a field of safe, easily accessible Best Picture nominees ("Tree of Life" being the welcome exception), the purposely confusing structure of "Tinker Tailor" would have helped the Academy fight off accusations of simply taking Oscar bait. The quality is certainly there, as evident by the Adapted Screenplay nomination for Bridget O'Connor and Peter Straughan, and the star-studded ensemble added a cold reality to each quietly tense scene.

Unfortunately, the Academy went the route of much safer picks, simultaneously passing over more complex and interesting pictures of which "Tinker Tailor" is but one example.

Ever wonder how long it would take to clap 900 times? This exclusive clip from the Oscar nominated documentary, "Undefeated," might not have the answer that you're looking for. But it does have a very motivational speech!

"Undefeated" is a documentary that chronicles the Manassas Tigers' 2009 football season through the eyes of their tough as nails coach, Bill Courtney. Taking place in the inner-city of Memphis, the team goes through a number of trials and tribulations as they strive to break their high school's 110 year losing streak.

As the perennial laughing stock of the state, the Manassas Tigers have done some exceptionally degrading things in order to turn a profit, even going so far as to auction off their home games to the highest bidder. Talk about throwing a game!

However, in 2004 that all changed. With the help of Bill Courtney, a former football coach/lumber salesman, the Manassas Tigers may just stand a chance at doing the unthinkable and winning their first season in many many years.

From the looks of the clip, "Undefeated" is a heartfelt story about a group of young men struggling to make their dreams come true. And since it's already nominated for an Oscar, our guess is that it's a very powerful film.

Apparently Josh Duhamel did though. The star of the previous "Transformers" films caught up with E! Online recently and said that he wasn't planning on coming back for the future film. And, apparently, neither are his famous costars.

"I don't think anybody's doing it," he said. "I know Shia [LaBoeuf]'s not doing it. I don't think Tyrese or Rosie [Huntington-Whiteley] or anybody else is doing it."

Duhamel didn't seem too surprised that Paramount Pictures was continuing the franchise, citing the previous film's big box office haul as more than enough reason to proceed with the series.

"Whenever these movies make that much money they're going to make as many as they can," he said. "[But] I haven't heard anything about it. They haven't called me."

Granted, there's still plenty of time for Bay and di Bonaventura to do so. Bay is directing "Pain and Gain" first, and the movie isn't even expected to hit theaters until June 27, 2014. But Duhamel doesn't sound particularly excited to come back into the fold, if he's even asked. We'll have to see how things pan out once "Transformers 4" gets closer to casting its stars.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes look from the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release of "Hugo," Baron Cohen and his director, Martin Scorsese, discuss the work that went into creating the character of the Station Inspector for the Academy Award-nominated movie. If they're both to be believed, it wasn't a pleasant experience for anyone involved.

Just like Robert De Niro, under Scorsese's direction for "Raging Bull," Baron Cohen said he put on a large amount of weight in preparation for the role. "I decided to put on three stone," he said. "I wanted to create the effect of triple chin, which I felt in the 3D would be quite powerful."

Scorsese explained that Baron Cohen's goal in all of this was possibly to win an Academy Award. "He was really feeling that he wanted to be in the running for certain serious accolades, so to speak," he said.

Be sure to check out the clip in its entirety up above.

"Hugo" comes out on Blu-ray and DVD on February 28.

As a movie fan, there are few things I enjoy more than Guy Pearce movies and Luc Besson movies. So fuse the two together into one ridiculous, over-the-top space-set thriller, and you know I'm going to be on board.

That's why I'm pretty pumped to host this exclusive "Lockout" poster here on Movies Blog. It's got Guy Pearce. It's got Maggie Grace. It's got an awesome future gun riddling bullets into who-knows-what. In short, it's awesome. Check it out in full past the break!

"Lockout" is described as follows:

Starring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace and set in the near future, LOCKOUT follows a falsely convicted ex- government agent (Pearce), whose one chance at obtaining freedom lies in the dangerous mission of rescuing the President’s daughter (Grace) from rioting convicts at an outer space maximum security prison.

In other words, it's going to be pretty fantastic. Produced by and co-written by Luc Besson and directed by James Mather and Stephen St. Leger, "Lockout" breaks into theaters nationwide on April 20, 2012. It will not, sadly, be playing in outer space.

But thankfully, Johnson took the time during Toy Fair to speak with MTV News and clear the air about who he'll battle in "G.I. Joe: Retaliation."

Johnson admitted that Roadblock will fight Firefly, a pairing that makes sense given the casting of Ray Stevenson, but the ultimate foe may come as a surprise. "There are a couple [physical adversaries]. There is Firefly, who's played by Ray Stevenson. Of course, there's Cobra," Johnson said.

We knew from an interview with director Jon Chu and the trailer footage that the new version of Cobra Commander left most of Joseph Gordon-Levitt's portrayal behind, and Chu described Cobra Commander in "Retaliation" as "more badass than ever." Adding the physical threat from the head of Cobra would definitely be a way to do that.

Johnson confirmed that there will be a physical tussle between his character and Cobra, giving Roadblock a more worthy opponent. "[Cobra Commander] is a physical adversary, as well as Firefly. That was one of the cool things about the script and about this character; it's finding the right adversary and building to that," Johnson said. "So we have Firefly and then ultimately Cobra."

Hugh Grant Plays Six Roles In "Cloud Atlas"
Empire recently spoke to Hugh Grant, who dished about his upcoming role(s) in the Wachowski's latest, "Cloud Atlas." "I have six cameo parts in this strange, ambitious film. I do a lot of killing and raping. I wear an awful lot of prosthetic make up, too. You probably won’t know that I am in the film!" he teased about his "incredibly evil" characters.

Laurence Fishburne Heads To Sci-Fi Thriller "The Colony"
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Laurence Fishburne is joining the Canadian sci-fi thriller "The Colony." Directed by Jeff Renfroe, the low-budget film will also star Kevin Zegers.

"I was a huge fan of her videos," Berg told MTV at Toy Fair this week. "Obviously she's sexy, but she had this real intensity. I'm like, 'Someone's going to get her.' "

As for his first meeting with Rihanna, Berg remembered: "When I met with her, she came in a T-shirt and jeans, no makeup, very natural. She was like, 'Look, I want to be an actress. Don't kiss my ass. Don't lie to me. Push me. Treat me as you would any other actor. Help make me good.'"

The result? "She is really, really good in 'Battleship,'" said Berg. "She has a very strong part."

Berg said that he's fond of musicians trading in their vocals for lines on a movie set, citing several past success stories of music legends who made the leap to the big screen.

"I've always believed in musicians as actors. I had great success with Tim McGraw in 'Friday Night Lights' and 'The Kingdom.' Musicians have been acting since Frank Sinatra won an Oscar for 'From Here to Eternity,' " he said. "Barbra Streisand, Kris Kristofferson, the late Whitney Houston, I thought, was tremendous in 'The Bodyguard.' As recently as Mariah Carey in 'Precious,' she was great."

The man loves "G.I. Joe," so when MTV News caught up with him at Toy Fair, we just had to ask which Joe was his favorite. Naturally, two of "Retaliation"'s main badasses are at the top for Chu.

"I loved Snake Eyes, of course, and I love Road Block. Those two to me were the coolest duo out there," Chu said. "To me, it was Roadblock and Snake Eyes together that was the kickass team."

Putting two of his favorite Joes front-and-center in a brand new movie was obviously a big deal for the director, and when it came time to cast Roadblock, it wasn't a tough decision. "It was a dream to be like, 'All right, now we really get to make Roadblock the guy. Who would be the perfect Roadblock?'" he said. "Of course, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and being able to have Ray Park return as Snake Eyes and have them be on two different adventures all across the world is awesome."

When speaking with MTV News at Toy Fair, Chu went into a little detail about the scope and scale of his "Joe" movie, and from the sounds of it, it falls in line with the tradition of the cartoons. "As any 'Joe' adventure is, it spans the world, and it's an adventure that ranges from you're in Pakistan one second to Japan the next second and Korea another one, Washington, D.C.," he said. "You're definitely jumping around and it also collides at a certain point."

One of the big welcome changes to the sequel comes in the form of Cobra Commander. While Joseph Gordon-Levitt's surprising turn in "Rise of Cobra" was appreciated, it wasn't the Cobra that Chu knew growing up. He wanted to change that.

"There are a couple things I really wanted to do in this movie. One of those things was reinvent Cobra Commander, to do it the way I remember him and take him to the next level," Chu said. "To me, Cobra is one of the most iconic villains of all time. I just wanted to know that was him. I wanted to make him more badass than ever."

Part of making Cobra "more badass than ever" involved starting from scratch with him. "We got to design him from the ground up. Creating the mask, we went through 35 revisions and how his voice was going to be, how reflective it was going to be," Chu said. "He's definitely a huge presence, and I can't wait. I'm sort of trying to hide a little bit, so people when they come don't know what to expect from Cobra, which is sort of the fun part of it."
