2 színész utasította vissza a díját: Marlon Brando (A keresztapa) és George C. Scott (Patton).

4 nőt jelöltek eddig rendezői Oscarra: Sophia Coppola (Lost in Translation, 2004), Jane Campion (The Piano, 1994), Lina Wertmuller (Seven Beauties, 1976) és idén Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker, 2010).

A legidősebb színész, aki eddig díjat nyert Jessica Tandy volt a Miss Daisy sofőrjében nyújtott alakításáért. A díj átvételekor 80 éves és 292 napos volt.

A legfiatalabb díjazott a 10 éves Tatum O'Neal volt, habár Shirley Temple már 6 éves korában kapott tiszteletbeli Oscart.

Az első színesbőrű díjazott Hattie McDaniel volt az Elfújta a szél c. filmben mellékszereplőként. Az első színesbőrű színészek, akik főszerepért nyertek Sidney Poitier (1963) és Halle Berry (2002) volt.

Liza Minnelli az egyetlen díjazott, akinek a szülei is Oscar-díjasok. (Judy Garland, Vincente Minnelli)

G. B. Shaw az egyetlen Oscar-díjas, aki a Nobel-díjat is megkapta.

Az első színes film, ami elnyerte a legjobb film díját az Elfújta a szél volt 1939-ben.

A legjobb animációs film díját csak 2001-ben vezették be, amit a Shrek vitt haza.

1953-ban közvetítette először a televízió, amikor több, mint 90 millióan nézték az adást.
Az első színes adás 1966-ban volt.

A 82 év alatt összesen csak háromszor kellett eltérni az eredeti időponttól. 1938-ban a los angelesi áradás miatt, 1968-ban két nappal eltolták az eseményt Martin Luther King Jr. temetése miatt, majd 1981-ben egy nappal a Reagen elnök elleni merénylet miatt.

A kis szobrocska teljes neve: Academy Award of Merit. 34,3 cm magas és majdnem 4 kiló. A legenda szerint azért kapta az Oscar becenevet, mert az Academy egyik munkatársát Oscar bácsikájára emlékeztette.

Megint tippelünk jó szokásunkhoz híven. Egyelőre chdstr javára 1-0, mert csúfos vereséget szenvedtem a Golden Globesnál. waffle rózsaszín, chdstr kék. Szerintetek?

a lista nem teljes

Miután szinte mindenki (Favreau és Downey) elhagyta a Cowboys&Aliens projectet, Olivia Wilde, Dr Ház 13-ja csatlakzotott a produkcióhoz.

Tegnap felvették a We are the World remake-jét (én totál azt hittem, hogy újat csinálnak) olyan neves előadókkal, mint P!nk, Celine Dion, Jonas Brothers, Jennifer Hudson vagy Kanye West. Taylor Swift nem volt ott.

Itt egy új Clash of the Titans trailer.

Végezetül pedig egy kiszivárgott kép a készülő CGI Hupikék Törpikékről. Sajnos kis Vuk utánérzésem van, ami nem jó.

Nem mintha eddig bármi kétségem lett volna, hogy nem teljesen normálisak.... Érdemes megnézni a People összeállítását a csodás ruhadarabokról, amiket magukra tudtak hajigálni. A Kedvencem Amber haspólós szerkója jan. 23-ról. Katt ide.

A New Line Cinema máris cáfolta a hírt, hogy a Sex and the City harmadik részébe hamarosan belekezdenének. Már ha lesz. Na most mindenki jól összezavarodott.

A trekik egy rövid ideig félhettek, mert egy rosszul interpretált interjú által az a hír terjedt el, hogy Zachary Quinto a következő pár évben visszavonul a spockságtól. De ez persze a filmre nem vonatkozott. Szóval nyugi.

Ozzy Osbourne azt szeretné, hogy Johnny Depp alakítsa ősötétségét, ha valaha is filmre viszik az életét.

Új Battlestar Galactica akciófigurák gördültek ki a fröccsöntő sorokról. Katt.

Alig három nappal J. D. Salinger halála után felreppent a hír, hogy Hollywood máris vérszemet kapott, hogy megfilmesítse a Zabhegyezőt. Úgy gondolom, ez egy egész undorító és tiszteletlen húzás lenne azok után, hogy Salinger senkinek nem volt hajlandó életében eladni a jogokat rá, és legendásan elzárkózott a nyilvánosság minden létező formája elől.
