Woody Allen made history when “Midnight In Paris” earned the filmmaker his third Oscar and 15th nomination for screenwriting last year.
Whether viewed as a consolation prize for a well-regarded film that has no chance of winning Best Picture, or a sign that a film in the discussion for the Academy’s highest honor has broad and far-reaching support, the Writing categories – Adapted Screenplay and Original Screenplay are not always that easy to predict. A case could be made that more adventurous films land in the Academy’s screenplay categories, but with regard to the Original Screenplay category, only five films (Thelma & Louise, The Usual Suspects, Almost Famous, Talk To Her, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) have won the Oscar since 1990 without landing a Best Picture nomination. Three Best Picture nominees are competing in this category and it would seem that for the other two nominees, being featured in the clips package will be as close as they get to scoring a win this year.

Have a look at the release which includes a full list of presenters and performers for the big event.

 Supernatural teen dramas have been all the rages the past few years, with movie goers flocking to see every manner of movie about werewolves, vampires, and most recently zombies. Beautiful Creatures, focuses on a subset of the supernatural, witches, that I feel doesn’t get enough attention. While this adaptation of the young adult novels doesn’t always serve the magic of the story, the scorching chemistry between it’s two leads more than helps to override the pacing issues of the film and make this an enjoyable watch.
