Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone to Announce Oscar Nominations



For the first time since Charlton Heston in 1972, the Oscars host will announce the nominees when Seth MacFarlane joins Emma Stone on January 10th to unveil the candidates for the 85th Academy Awards.

"It's about finding that balance between doing what I do but acknowledging that this is the Academy Awards, not the roast of Donald Trump," MacFarlane told Rolling Stone last month regarding his hosting duties. "It's walking that line between old-fashioned showmanship and allowing it to be contemporary with a little bit of bite. Johnny Carson and Billy Crystal are two hosts who walked that line."

The Oscars have been straying from tradition this year, also choosing to feature a tribute to the James Bond series, which they have historically overlooked. The Academy Awards will take place February 24th.

that will be a good show!

ONTD, which of the foreign films nominees are worth watching? I've only seen Amour so far, which I really liked, but want to see more... sometimes, though, a lot of them are duds. Suggestions, please?

The Intouchables just because it's very likely going to be nominated and Omar Sy is great.
I Wish was also good but I don't know if it's on the list. Rust and Bone is amazing.
pineandapple 7th-Jan-2013 10:51 pm (UTC)
I second Rust and Bone.

The Intouchables is on my to-watch list. I've heard good things about it.
lemmonsugar 8th-Jan-2013 01:19 am (UTC)
The Intouchables is an AMAZING film.
fight4thislove 7th-Jan-2013 10:56 pm (UTC)
RUST AND BONE.

GO NOW.

A Royal Affair!

Well out of the nine on the shortlist, seven of them are available to watch online or download. Sister is my favourite on the shortlist but I'd also recommend War Witch, Royal Affair, and Beyond the Hills. I haven't seen No or the other two.

The other two are called The Deep and Kon Tiki according to Google.

I'm including titles that aren't going to be nominated because they didn't make the shortlist, but: BARBARA (in my top 5 of the year), JUST THE WIND, Sister, War Witch, Kauwboy, Beyond the Hills (on pedigree alone), and maybe Pieta. Our Children, No, Fill the Void and After Lucia are titles I've yet to see but can't wait to.

Lore is shit.

Emma's so cute. I was just thinking about watching Superbad tonight too.
the_pinkdress 7th-Jan-2013 11:05 pm (UTC)
I remember watching Superbad in theatres and when she came on the screen I was like, "This girl has such a presence". Like the 'It' factor.

ballsmazig 7th-Jan-2013 10:48 pm (UTC)

christophwaltz 7th-Jan-2013 10:49 pm (UTC)

enema_recipe 8th-Jan-2013 01:19 am (UTC)

More importantly, Zombieland 2 needs to happen.

Her mouth is so big in that gif. OMG
kwikimart 7th-Jan-2013 11:09 pm (UTC)
Ugh I wanna just punch Seth in the throat what a douchebag.

Ems is adorable, I look forward to her charming the fuck out of everyone at the Oscars and looking wonderful.
Hope she sticks to her own unique look this year instead of wearing a rip-off version of a far superior actresses' gown...
*sips tea*

I glanced at the title and thought it said they were announcing their engagement. Very WTF moment.
revertigo 7th-Jan-2013 11:11 pm (UTC)

revertigo 7th-Jan-2013 11:16 pm (UTC)

maryjanewatson 7th-Jan-2013 11:17 pm (UTC)

revertigo 7th-Jan-2013 11:20 pm (UTC)

fancycarousel 7th-Jan-2013 11:18 pm (UTC)

wheresandrae 7th-Jan-2013 11:21 pm (UTC)
I've watched that movie 3 times in the last 3 weeks. Probably my favorite "contender" for best pic.
wheresandrae 7th-Jan-2013 11:22 pm (UTC)
Cool, I hope they can pronounce "Michael Haneke" and "Emmanuelle Riva" correctly because really its all that matters about this year's awards.
fancycarousel 7th-Jan-2013 11:25 pm (UTC)
I need to see more Haneke movies omg.

i think I'm in the mood for Amour rn
wheresandrae 8th-Jan-2013 01:20 am (UTC)
Which have you seen?!
annadraper 7th-Jan-2013 11:46 pm (UTC)
they should get angelina to present haneke's category.
senkig 8th-Jan-2013 12:04 am (UTC)
