With 20 Movies Submitted, This Year’s Best Animated Feature Race Will Have Five Nominees Instead of Three

18 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

For only the second time since the category’s creation in 2001, Best Animated Feature will have five nominees competing for the award instead of three.  This is because this is the first time more than 16 films have been submitted.  Maybe another year this would mean the category would have greater competition rather than a clear winner in years past (although there have been a couple upsets, i.e. years where Pixar released a film and didn’t win).  Unfortunately for the four other also-rans, Pixar released Up.  Hit the jump for more details.

It’s great that there will be five nominees this year but it could have had ten and it wouldn’t change the outcome.  Oscar watchers are always saying that Up is a near-lock for a Best Picture nomination now that the category for Oscar’s highest honor has opened up from five slots to ten.  I »

Relationships That Wouldn't Work in Reality

4 November 2009 1:35 PM, PST | newser.com | See recent newser news »

Hollywood’s great at making us root for relationships that shouldn’t work. But some of them really shouldn’t work. The Nerve imagines if the following couples moved in next-door: Beauty and the Beast : No, I’m not kissing a dog … he’s really a prince! I swear! Buffy and Angel (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) : She’s 16, and he’s more than 200, and, oh yeah, dead. So it’s illegal in multiple ways, and creepy, too. Dexter and Rita (Dexter) : “The baseline for a successful relationship should be just a bit higher than ‘did not kill significant other today.’” Don Draper and Anyone... »

A 'Beastly' Halloween Treat Features Mary-Kate Olsen

29 October 2009 7:23 PM, PDT | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »

For those of you who are into the delicate side of horror, CBS Films' Beastly just might be for you. The modern "Beauty and the Beast" tale is described as an edgy teen romance about learning how to see past false surfaces to discover true inner beauty. While most of the images released thus far feature a shirtless Alex Pettyfer, beyond the break you'll get your very first look at Mary-Kate Olsen, Vanessa Hudgens, Dakota Johnson and Erik Knudsen. Set in Manhattan, the movie tells the story of a handsome rich kid with a mean streak. When he ditches a date, a curse is placed upon him, turning him into everything he hates. The grotesque transformation leaves him with the seemingly impossible task of finding true love to break the ugly spell. CBS Films is to release it in theaters July 30, 2010. »

tMF Featured Trailer: Alice in Wonderland (Extended)

- - - I have no idea if there is really something extended in the extended Alice in Wonderland trailer, but I'm a big fan of Tim Burton, and what better way to celebrate the coming Holloween than posting something that somehow relates to it? In this case, Burton has made some pretty amazing movies that's dark, spooky, scary and worth it - Sleepy Hollow, Beetle Juice and Sweeny Todd, to name a few.

His version of Alice in Wonderland is scheduled for a March 2010 release, which is 5 months away, but hey the trailer looks impossibly awesome! Plus, Mia Wasikowska - who plays Alice - is a young actress to watch. Watch the trailer after the jump!

A 'Beastly' and challenging transformation for Alex Pettyfer

28 October 2009 4:39 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

  The last time I saw Alex Pettyfer in person he was completely exhausted and napping in the corner of a room during a lunch break as production wrapped on the new romantic drama "Beastly."  It wasn't that Pettyfer's director, Daniel Branz, was a slave driver or that the 19-year-old was out enjoying the Montreal club scene the night before.  No, as the shoot neared its end, the Brit just didn't have much left after playing what turned out to be a fairly challenging role. A modern re-imagining of the classic "Beauty and the Beast" tale, "Beastly" centers on Kyle (Pettyfer),... »

Beastly Title Treatment and New Photo

27 October 2009 4:29 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

Not to be outdone by The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which unveiled its logo artwork earlier this week, CBS Films, the company behind Beastly, revealed the slick title treatment for its upcoming edgy teen romance ... and provided a new photo of the film's "beast", played by Alex Pettyfer.

First up, the title art. Be sure to click it (and Pettyfer below) for a larger, more detailed image.

As a reminder, here's a synopsis of the film, followed by Pettyfer, pre-transformation:

Kyle Kingson (Alex Pettyfer) has it all – looks, intelligence, wealth, and opportunity – and a wicked cruel streak. Prone to mocking and humiliating “aggressively unattractive” classmates, he zeroes in on Goth classmate Kendra, inviting her to the school’s extravagant environmental bash.
