'The King's Speech' is Best Picture 2011 Academy Awards

Each year, Hollywood’s schedule more or less culminates with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences handing out Oscars for the year’s best films and Sunday, for the 83rd straight time, it happens again. Hosts James Franco and Anne Hathaway helped some of the most famous actors and actresses in the world hand out the hardware for the best of 2010 it was telecast live from the historic Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. Franco and Hathaway kicked off the show by making their way through several Best Picture nominees like Inception with special guests like Alec Baldwin, one of last year's hosts. I thought this year's ceremony went rather smoothly since the idea behind Hathaway and Franco's hosting duties was to bring a sense of youth to the show i think they did a great job.

Drive Angry 3D is directed by former editor Patrick Lussier, who has also previous...

So it looks like it's pretty much confirmed. Over the weekend I found some old fan-art made after TDK for the next "sequel" that had Anne Hathaway playing Batgirl - lo and behold that sort of turned out to be true. One of the other names listed in the fictional credits was Marion Cotillard, the lovely French actress who plays Cobb's crazy wife in Inception (and won an Oscar for La Vie en Rose). Over this past weekend, French newspaper Le Figaro reported that Cotillard had been cast in The Dark Knight Rises, quite big news. But we wanted to wait for extra confirmation and THR now has it.

The original French article basically said that Cotillard, now pregnant with French actor Guillaume Canet's baby, was only going to shoot one movie this year and decided that it would be Dark Knight Rises for Chris Nolan. THR confirms that she's "discussing scheduling issues" but, of course, I'm sure s...
