I’m not watching… I dunno where to watch, and I think they’re still going on. ITG did a quickie prediction, and said Avatar was gonna win a many few.
So I’m posting winners, as I find them.

Done! Yay! There’s was a little love for District 9… not AS much, but at least. Too much love for Avatar in my opinion… and no love for Red Cliff. Of course, I’m biased.
Certainly feels like it, and turns out it’s just been published a few hours ago in a few blogs. According to this blog, and My First Gossip Blog. We’ve got info! YAY!
“Flowers” featuring Aoi Yuu (24), Suzuki Kyoka (41) , Takeuchi Yuko (29), Tanaka Rena (29), Nakama Yukie (30), Hirosue Ryoko (29) will be released on the 12th of June of this year. This star-studded cast will present a tale that will span 3 generations.
Wait… wait for it~~~ Continue Reading…
Turns out that Faye Wong had been working on the main theme for the Chow Yun-Fat Confucius film. The song, titled You Lan Cao (幽兰操), was finished on December 31st, and will be released on January 6th for the release of the film.
It is based on the works of the Tang Dynasty poet Han Yu (韩愈, 768-824). The director, Hu Mei, is reported to have described Faye’s rendition as ethereal, as “Communication of the earth and the sky’s beauty.”
…
The new song uses only 64 Chinese characters and is adapted from ancient poet Han Yu’s eulogy on orchids that resonated with the iconic philosopher Confucius.
So, The Hurt Locker keeps on winning people. Best Picture and Best Director seem to be in the bag. Are we looking at the first female director to EVER win an Academy Award? That’s kinda nice… but actually kind of shocking it’s taken this long for a woman to be seriously considered.
And a few surprises too!
This isn’t a regular Award Season post.
But it’s a lot of postings… I should post one by one, but I am lazy… even if it increases posts number which have decreased a bit this month.
First with the Most Anticipated~~~
Yu gets a mention for Otouto which is about to open in a few days~~~
Then we go to some award nominations~~~
Dear Doctor gets Best Picture and Best Director for Miwa Nishikawa, as well as awards for Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress (Kimiko Yo) at the Nikkan. Mother got some love for Foreign Film, and Masaki Okada earned the New Artist for A Pierrot (what? LOL)
The Hochi awards the film with a Best Director as well, a Best Supporting Actor for Eita, and a Supporting Actress for Kaoru Yachigusa. Michael Jackson got a Special Award, and some more love for Ken Watanabe, Clint Eastwood and Masaki Okada who also won Best New Artist for Honokaa Boy.
Seems like the Japan Academy Award will be fought over The Sun Doesn’t Set, and Dear Doctor~~~
And to close this post, a Top Best Asian Films of the Decade.
Will work on mine later~~~
Well, at least you can still upload your OWN original content to share, if you want. I wish more singers, groups, musicians, filmmakers would use the platform of torrents to distribute their work. After all, all you need is a private tracker to allow a few people… in case you want to charge some for it.
NHK will begin airing their new Taiga (historical) drama on January 3rd 2010, titled Ryoman den (龍馬伝), and Yu has been announced as a cast member.
NHK’s 49h taiga drama centers around Ryoma Sakamoto (January 3, 1836 – December 10, 1867) a leader of the movement to overthrow the feudal regime of Tokugawa shogunate. Ryoma Sakmoto is thought to have been a visionary who helped spur Japan to modernization.
Yu Aoi will be playing Omoto, and we don’t know anything else. So those rumors weren’t so far off~~~ LOL We have no idea how long she will play Omoto… maybe 4 episodes? When? If you can read Jap, please let me know.
Best announcement for Xmas ever~ xD
I just need to wait for subs hahaha
Yup, we’re back with some more, and people are still loving Hurt Locker.
Awkward with James Cameron, because every is spazzing about Avatar, but his ex-wife is getting all the glory for something completely on the movie spectrum of Avatar. Funny thing that Golden Globe Director category will be…
Christoph Waltz pretty much has Supporting Actor in the bag for Inglourious Basterds, just like MoNique has Supporting Actress in the bag… even if she’s pissing on campaign. I think an actor’s job is also to promote their films, and not ask for crazy amounts of money to attend an event where they would be probably honoring your work. If it’s like that, you will probably win anyway… but filmmakers will not hire her for future work.
And double love for Carey. xD
Yes, more nominations! More awards… get a grip. This is the Screen Actors Guild Awards~
The round up? Very few surprises… Up in the Air, Precious, and Inglourious Basterds got 3 nods… the most between movies. The one nod that’s a bit weird is Nine, which got only a nod for acting to then get the Best Ensemble? Since it’s an acting award… the Best Ensemble IS Best Film. Get it?
On the TV categories… 30 Rock, The Closer and Dexter *jumpy bloody claps* got 3 nods each too. Also! Jumpy claps for Glee who got a nod on the Comedy Ensemble!!! Yay!
And the nominations and winners continue, this time with the Chicago Critics’ nominations (and tomorrow with the SAG nominations). It is a busy time.
Leading the nominees with six is one of the many awards favorites, Jason Reitman’s Up In The Air. But hold on just a moment. It has a co-pilot. Also riding a wave of six nominations is Spike Jonze’s adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are,
…
Joining both films in the Best Picture race from Chicago are Kathryn Bigelow’s The Hurt Locker, Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (each with five nominations) and Joel & Ethan Coen’s A Serious Man with 4.
some nice changes and surprises!
check the nominees!
