Posted 6/1/11 12:25 pm EST by in MTV Movie Awards


A Russian engineering genius with a score to settle. An abandoned bear with vengeance stuffed deep inside of his heart. A young but bitter wizard trying to decide which path is righteous and which path is wrong.

These are just some of the bad guys battling it out for the Best Villain category at the 2011 MTV Movie Awards this year, and based on the lineup of fearsome foes, it's not going to be a clean fight. Keep on reading for the full roster of this year's Best Villain nominees, then make sure to cast your vote for the winner today!

Tom Felton, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1"
The returning champ from last year's show, can Draco Malfoy win Best Villain again? Though the Slytherin loyalist has done some terrible things in his time, Draco is slowly inching towards the light — and with "Harry Potter" hurtling towards the finish line, one has to wonder if he'll be a villain for much longer.

'The Fighter' Gets A Sequel, And So Should These Five Best Picture Nominees

Posted 3/1/11 1:33 pm EST by in Commentary


The Academy Awards are only two days behind us and there’s already chatter of a sequel to one of this year’s Best Picture nominees.

Mark Wahlberg dished about a continued take on “The Fighter” while walking the Oscar red carpet this past Sunday (February 27). Supposedly, he’s already entered into talks regarding a companion film, which would focus on the torrid ring-bound history of Micky Ward and boxing opponent Arturo Gatti.

We’re not exactly shocked by the prospect – after all, 2011 is already the biggest year for movie sequels, so why not up the ante for 2012? We’re fairly certain these other five Best Picture nominees could be stretched into a second story, too!

Oscars 2011 Poll: Who Will Win Best Picture?

Posted 2/27/11 1:00 pm EST by in Oscars, Poll


With just hours to go before the Oscars launch, it's time to tackle the big question: who's going home with the Best Picture award?

In a field of ten nominees, it's seemingly once again down to two familiar competitors. Just as "The Hurt Locker" and "Avatar" raced neck-and-neck throughout the 2009 Academy Awards, tonight's show appears to be a similar throwdown between the popular favorite and the critical darling: "The Social Network" versus "The King's Speech."

But is the race really down to two? What of the other eight contenders? We've got some analysis after the jump, and make sure to cast YOUR vote for the Best Picture winner in our poll!

Oscars 2011: Reviewing The Best Picture Contenders, Twitter-Style!

Posted 2/23/11 4:53 pm EST by in Commentary, Humor, Oscars


Let’s be honest: in this day and age, the idea of watching an entire 90-minute movie with uninterrupted concentration is almost inconceivable. Certainly not in a world where e-mail, commercials and, of course, Twitter completely rule our lives.

And it gets worse: this year's Oscar ceremony, airing on Sunday (February 27), has ten Best Picture nominees. Ten! It's hard enough to watch an entire movie on its own, and it's downright impossible to expect that you've seen all ten of the big contenders come Oscar night.

But as always, we have a solution. We're marrying our Twitter fixation with the Best Picture problem: we've seen every movie up for the award this year, and to bring you up to speed, we're reviewing each one of them Twitter style. After the jump, get our quick takes on all of the Best Picture nominees — in 140 characters or less, of course!

'The King's Speech' Sweeps The BAFTAs, Christopher Lee and 'Harry Potter' Receive Achievement Awards

Posted 2/14/11 11:10 am EST by in News


The King's SpeechTo the surprise of few, "The King's Speech" came out of Sunday night's BAFTA awards show with seven of its 16 eligible awards in hand, including Best Film, Outstanding British Film, Original Screenplay, Leading Actor, Supporting Actor and Actress and Original Music.

These big wins certainly shorten the gap between "The King's Speech" and "The Social Network" for the Best Picture race as we head toward the Oscars. Though "The Social Network" originally struck many as the favorite -- and it did land a few big awards at the BAFTAs, including Best Director, Adapted Screenplay and Editing -- "The King's Speech" has picked up speed in recent weeks, with the string of BAFTA wins only furthering its momentum.

For those of you still upset about the slights at "Inception" for Oscar nominations you'll be happy to know that Tom Hardy was awarded the Orange Wednesdays Rising Star Award. It's an obvious recognition of the talent he displayed in "Inception" last year, and the film was also awarded for Production Design, Sound and Special Visual Effects.

'Snow And The Seven' Snags 'Toy Story 3' Screenwriter

Posted 2/2/11 1:20 pm EST by in News


Snow and the SevenIntrepid reporter Terri Schwartz noticed the growing trend of movies based on "Frankenstein" yesterday, but there's another property that's generating a similar amount of competing films: "Snow White."

We can already look forward to "Snow White and the Huntsman," the Charlize Theron-starring film featuring a weaponized Snow and her titular grim mentor. There's also "The Brothers Grimm: Snow White," Brett Ratner's reportedly "edgy" take on the classic tale. Now there's another, as Disney has put plans in motion for "Snow and the Seven."

Heat Vision reports that Disney is negotiating with "Toy Story 3" screenwriter Michael Arndt to tackle the script for "Snow and the Seven," a new live-action take on the classic fairy tale. But Arndt's work would be vastly different from the aforementioned "Snow White" projects in at least one very meaningful way: "Snow and the Seven" takes place in 19th century China. Read More...

'The King's Speech,' 'True Grit' And 'The Social Network' Lead The Oscar Nominees

Posted 1/25/11 10:06 am EST by in News, Oscars


There were few surprises as to what films were named as nominees during this morning's Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences announcement of the 2011 Oscar nominees, but that is definitely a good thing. As suspected, "The King's Speech," "The Social Network" and "True Grit" led the pack. "The King's Speech" led the nominees with 13 nods, while "True Grit" had a surprising 10 and "The Social Network" had nine.

First up: the best picture race. In addition to the three films above, "The Fighter," "The Kids Are All Right," "Inception," "Winter's Bone," "Toy Story 3," "127 Hours" and "Black Swan" were all recognized. Those have been the front runners the whole race, and though "The Town" and "Blue Valentine" seemed somewhat likely to at least get a nomination, this was pretty much what was expected.

Golden Globes Winners 2011: 'The Social Network,' Natalie Portman And Christian Bale Clean Up

Posted 1/16/11 11:10 pm EST by in Golden Globes


Christian Bale

The 68th Annual Golden Globes are a wrap, folks!

And in case you missed our awesome LIVE BLOG coverage (nice job, Katie!), here's what went down. Ricky Gervais rocked the hosting duties. No surprise there. Robert Downey Jr. said he'd "like to give it" to all five nominees for Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, and we're pretty sure he wasn't talking about the award.

Similarly unsurprising: Colin Firth won Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama, Natalie Portman cinched Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama for "Black Swan," Matt Damon presented Robert De Niro with the Cecil B. DeMille Award (yeah, that was announced beforehand), Christian Bale and Melissa Leo scored victories for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress for their turns in "The Fighter," "Toy Story 3" prevailed in the Best Animated Motion Picture category, and Aaron Sorkin and "The Social Network" claimed gold for Best Screenplay and Best Motion Picture - Drama.

Posted 1/4/11 4:45 pm EST by in News, Oscars


Black Swan and The Social NetworkThe awards season continued to speed along today, with the Producers Guild and Writers Guild announcing the nominees for their respective awards shows.

The Producers Guild's choices for best producers in a motion picture have become synonymous with the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences' choices for the Best Picture Oscar in recent years, and the 10 films nominated are no big surprise. So, yes, "The Social Network," "The King's Speech," "The Kids Are All Right," "The Fighter," "Inception," "Toy Story 3," "True Grit," "Black Swan" and "127 Hours" all made the cut, with "The Town" being the "surprise" film in their midst.

The WGA also didn't have many big surprises for original and adapted screenplay nods. "Black Swan," "The Fighter," "Inception" and "The Kids Are All Right" were acknowledged as best original screenplays, with "Please Give" getting the only dark-horse nomination. Meanwhile "127 Hours," "I Love You Phillip Morris," "The Social Network, "The Town" and "True Grit" received noms for best adapted screenplay. Read More...
