83rd Oscars – The White Oscars?
The 83rd Oscar’s ceremony is heading towards being the White Oscars this year.
The nominees for all the acting categories are white with no minorities included. In fact almost all the major nominations are Caucasians. The last time it happened was almost a decade ago, when all the acting nominations went to whites in the 73rd Oscar Movie Awards.
The major reason attributed to it is the lack of substantial cinema related to minorities. There were no serious movies handling the ethnic background unlike last year. As Gregg Kilday, film editor observes hardly any substantial cinema is being made irrespective of color.
The previous awards had seen serious contention by nominees Mo’Nique and Gabourey Sidibe, thanks to hard hitting movies like “Precious”. This year saw no serious or Oscar worthy movies made with an African American Background.
Much is being said about the theatrics that are part of the Oscar Nominations.
2011 – Are Super Heroes Repeating Themselves?
The superhero movies are no longer the same. This year the movies based on comics are not as cool as one would expect. Actually the genre seems to have lost the sparkle bringing on a repetition rather than a new concept.
It seems that the movie scene is far from getting creative. The Hollywood has used these recession years with productions praising supernatural powers; and the Marvel heroes were there to entertain our need of seeing miracles happen.
The trend however faints before the extremely repetitive story. The heroes of 2011 are far from being original. They are continuing the trend that feeds the imagination but special effects are the only things spectacular about them. What if, even they leave a lot of room for improvement?
Truly The Most Overpaid Actress In Showbiz
Though Forbes lists the rankings of the top earning actresses in Hollywood on an annual basis, that list is not really accurate — an actress does not even have to be in a film to be on it.
In tallying their totals, Forbes uses the income that these actresses derive from their side deals — endorsements, commercials, and other work.
So if we were to go by this data, Angelina Jolie wins Most Overpaid by a landslide. Without even releasing a movie, Mrs. Brad Pitt made over $20 in the year 2010.
Her endorsements and residuals did better for her while she slept than most actresses make for enduring 12 hours of cramped trailers lol no nice Hollywood leather sectional sofas here and sex scenes with lecherous co stars.
A new system must be formed. If an actress is to call herself an actress, then she should be judged on her acting alone when tallying totals for the Most Overpaid.

The Critics’ Choice awards have always been an indicator of the next Oscar winners, when it comes to cinema. This year the critics proved that they don’t have the same taste as the public and awarded only those actors that deserve an award.
