What 2007 Oscar-Winning Movie Do You Want to See Next?

BuzzSugar — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 10:22:29 -0800

Now that the 2007 Oscars have come and gone, I am anxious to catch up on my movie viewing! Though I've seen most of the winners, there are a few Oscar movies I missed.

What 2007 Oscar winner have you not seen that you really want to see next?

Celebrity Style: Cate Blanchett

FabSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:11:33 -0800

Cate Blanchett was another one of our picks for best dressed on Oscar night wearing a stunning Armani Prive gown. We are big Cate fans as she always stands out as a risk taker and this night was no different. She sure did bring glitz back to the red carpet - you nailed it Cate!

ABS One-Shoulder Gown, $264,

Cate's jewelry was absolutely stunning last Sunday; it was very unique and also quite expensive!! I hope these more reasonably priced options will feel better on your pocketbook.

Movie Night: A Martin Scorsese Sampler

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:03:03 -0800

In honor of his first Best Director win, this week's Movie Night is all about Scorsese. There are additional, equally worthy titles beyond the ones listed here (see also: Casino), and some you should avoid, such as Gangs of New York, but this will get you started. So check these out, and yes, I'm talkin' to you.

Goodfellas
"As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster," says Henry Hill, the young Irish-Italian Broolynite at the center of this crime drama, which is based on a true story. Henry (Ray Liotta) and his two friends Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) and Jimmy Conway (Robert DeNiro) climb their way up the mobster ladder, beginning with robbery and eventually working their way to violent crime. The film earned Scorsese kudos all around for his detailed character work, deft ability to create a specific mood, and sharp depiction of the criminal mind.

Two more, so read more

Taxi Driver
If all you know of Taxi Driver is Travis Bickle's famous line "You talkin' to me?" then a viewing of this classic - possibly Scorsese's best work - is long overdue. DeNiro plays Bickle, whose distaste for urban detritus is slowly eating away at his sanity in a city too large for anyone to notice. Between botched dates and his attempt to rescue a young prostitute (wises-beyond-her years Jodie Foster), DeNiro puts forth a performance that is both thoughtful and tensely thrilling. Oh, and that mirror scene? It was supposedly ad-libbed entirely by DeNiro.

The Last Waltz
Believe it or not, this chronicle of The Band's self-imposed retirement and final concert was directed by Scorsese, proving he's just as adept at rockumentaries as well as gangster flicks. To my mind, The Last Waltz is one of the greatest rock docs ever made and enjoyable even if you aren't a fan of The Band. The concert features performances from a pantheon of artists who inspired the group, from Bob Dylan and Van Morrison to Neil Diamond and Muddy Waters. There's also quite a bit of backstage banter, which is alternately admirable and embarrassing enough to have provided some fodder for the parodies in This is Spinal Tap.

For Our Oscar Acceptance Speech We'd Like To Thank Helio

PopSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 14:02:28 -0800

We wanted to give a big PopSugar thank you to Helio, who sponsored all of our Oscars Coverage this week. It's been a blast working with them and we are super excited to check out their brand new phone (but don't call it a phone! It's SO much more), Heat. Not only would the gold Heat match excellently with certain little gold men, but it's a great way to read PopSugar while on the go! With HOT (Helio On Top), you can get an instant update any time we post -- it's like having Pop in your pocket! If you want to know more about the Gold Heat, check it out here. Come on...all the cool kids are doing it...

Helio's Hot New Heat Phone Brings It

GeekSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 13:42:40 -0800

We'd like to give a very special thank you to our Oscar sponsor Helio, who helped us bring you live red carpet coverage and just happens to be one of the coolest gadget makers around. To show our thanks for their sponsorship I hope you will check out their newly-launched slim and sexy phone that looks to be the new must-have in Hollywood - and not just because it's pretty.

The Heat is a gleaming slider phone with an electrostatic touchpad (think iPhone-like sleekness but available now!) that's chic, but has all the right geeky qualities. The touchpad is set so you can customize its sensitivity (super, high, medium, low) for navigation through a simple finger tap, which means no more pushing extra hard while trying to navigate through applications.

Produced by Samsung for Helio members in the US, the Heat comes in two colors: high-gloss Onyx and shimmering Gold. I am sure most of you know by now that you can read PopSugar on your Helio, but the company has added even more of your favorite websites and features to their service! read more

Earlier this month, Helio introduced Helio Music, which allows users to organize their music, create custom playlists and get instant access to their favorite tunes through their phones. It's a service that got the attention of Pete Wentz from Fallout Boys and celebs like Kim Kardashian and caught my eye because it means you get all the goodness of a MP3 player inside your phone.

The Heat features stereo Bluetooth support, 136MB available internal memory, 1.3 megapixel camera with digital zoom and flash for shooting photos and video MP3, MPEG-4 and VOD support. It also features Helio Music compatibility and built-in GPS capabilities for access to Helio services including GPS-enabled Google Maps for mobile and Buddy Beacon. Another chic and functional feature: the Helio service now allows users to interact with online communities like Boing Boing, Craigslist, Digg and Wikipedia.

The Heat is now available for $150. Boing Boing, Craigslist, Digg and Wikipedia are free with Helio All-In Memberships, data charges apply for A La Carte Memberships.

Oscar Worthy? Jennifer Hudson's Scene-Stealing Song from Dreamgirls

BuzzSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 13:19:00 -0800

The studio kept this clip under wraps leading up to this year's Oscars, but if you've yet to see Dreamgirls, you can now watch the video of Jennifer Hudson performing "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going," her scene-stealing and impassioned ballad. You guys were pretty conflicted over whether Hudson deserved to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, so maybe this clip will help you decide. (Thanks to Best Week Ever for directing me to the video.)

I, for one, think it's a very impressive performance as far as musicals go, and there's no arguing that Hudson has an amazing voice. But I still don't think she deserved to win an Oscar; to find out why, read more

First, let me just say, it was great to see how happy Hudson was on Oscar night, and I got into the excitement of seeing a young actress win for her first movie. But then again, it was her first movie, so while we know now that she can kill at musical theater, we don't really know if she has any versatility whatsoever.

But that's beside the point, really. My main gripe with Hudson's win can be summed up in two words: Adriana Barraza. I just rewatched Babel last night, and seeing Barraza's brilliant performance again made me realize how much she was robbed. (Others argue that Rinko Kikuchi should have won, and she was probably robbed too.)

In her role as the nanny Amelia, Barraza cycled through a stunning cycle of emotions - from a subtly concerned caretaker in the beginning of the movie to an ordinary woman torn apart by utter despair during the desert scenes in the film's climax. Never has a film elicited such a feeling of dread from me, and I credit Barraza's acting for most of that.

Mostly, I found myself wondering if Hudson saw Babel and, if so, if she really thinks her job was harder than Barraza's. What do you guys think?
