Red carpet is on at the moment. I have realized I can’t watch Red Carpet events anymore. Thank you incompetent entertainment journalist, and up-staging Oscar attendees.
If you haven’t checked the predictions, check them here.
Will be live blogging and posting winners during the night,
check back and refresh often.
Live blogging at Living in Cinema from the great Craig Kennedy~~~

I’d figure I’d make this post count for today, instead of tomorrow xD – If you followed, I made Oscar 2010 Nomination Predictions which were pretty okay, except it was 10% down from last year. But my record is 85%
As for my Oscar winners, last year I made a 20/24… that’s 83%, though my record is 87% in 2003 xD
Predictions include “most likely to win” to “less likely to win”
According to these predictions (can’t believe I’m wishing that I get it wrong!) – Hurt Locker wins 3, and Avatar wins 6 – though they’re all technical.
So how say you?
TheAuteurs currently has over 44pg (with 20 films each?) so I wondered which 10 films were the first to be added to their database… you know, just for trivia purposes xD
* available to watch on TheAuteurs [Peru Region]
Then I also decided to check the 10 Most Popular films xD
Interesting to see 4 films from the 70s, 2 from the 60s… followed by one of the 50s, 40s, 80s and 90s. Then, it’s also 4 films by Stanley Kubrick, 2 by Francis Ford Coppola, and the films by Orson Welles, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and Akira Kurosawa.
Show is about to start, so I will be blogging as winners are announced.
Check back and refresh often~
I’m not sure i-sat will be broadcasting the Indie Spirits Live this year, as the schedule says it will air at 11pm, so I literally have no idea. Actually, I think they might be live and they just begin really REALLY late as the email they just sent me says that:
8pm Pacific Time/ 11pm Eastern Time
Hosted by Eddie Izzard
So there you go…
Anyway, I dunno where you can watch the show, but you can check the Live Arrival over at the Spirit Awards Ustream TV Channel. You can even check out the music they will be using~
Here comes the predictions~
Dr. NakaMats – or Yoshio Nakamatsu – has invented around 3k things since age 5. Among those things the Karaoke machine, the early technology for floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs.
x
In the video, Nakamatsu-san states that Edison and him are way different, and you’ll see why. He is totally pro-education, which is pretty refreshing considering all the “I don’t need school” types out there~
Check out the post over at MotherBoard.tv~
Forgive the shameless reminder of Spice Girls. xD
I just got back from watching Alice in Wonderland~~
And how about it? TheAuteurs is showing a short film version of Alice in Wonderland done on 1903, if you would like to watch it (for FREE) just head over there. You will need an account.
I found an interesting post!
Here’s an excerpt;
Just as the music industry had it’s comfy, soulless, profit-raking, creatively-void existence shaken out of it’s tree, so too the film industry started to feel their profits shrivel in this freshly democratic media landscape. It seems innovation and profit didn’t necessarily go hand in hand though as the massive film production companies tried to plug the gaps with endless remakes, 3D tomfoolery and crap loads of marketing driven genre dirge. If anything it was a decade of extremes, as the mainstream became more generic and formulaic so there were the occasional glittering gems shining through the shinola, that kicked against the tide and were all the better for it.
They talk about Hollywood remakes, Indies and International films~~~
One thing to note, there aren’t any Asian films… like you know, Memories of Matsuko, 3-Iron, Oldboy, In the Mood for Love, All About Lily Chou Chou, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Battle Royale, Nobody Knows, Still Walking, etc.

Opens March 4th-7th
What is Disposable Film?
In recent years a new kind of film has emerged: The Disposable Film. It has been made possible by new media (webcams, point and shoot digital cameras, cell phones, screen capture software, and one time use digital video cameras) and the rise of online distribution (YouTube, Google, MySpace, etc.). These films are often made quickly, casually, and sometimes even unintentionally.
