  1. Affleck Reaches Out To His "Beloved" City

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">The Boston Marathon tragedy&mdash;in which a pair of deadly explosions rocked the finish line, killing two people and injuring 23&mdash;has shaken many, including those who hold the city close to their heart. Ben Affleck, who grew up in the area and has made the city the setting for his films The Town and Gone Baby Gone, responded to the events on Facebook, saying, "Such a senseless and tragic day. My family and I send our love to our beloved and resilient Boston."</span>

  2. And The Oscar Goes To...Argo For Best Picture

    <span style=&quot;font-size: 12pt;">The 85<sup>th</sup> Annual Academy Awards were handed out last night and it looks like <strong>Ben Affleck&rsquo;s </strong>Best Director snub didn&rsquo;t ruin his film&rsquo;s chances, because <em>Argo</em> continued its award show dominance, nabbing the night&rsquo;s big honor Best Picture (which was announced by <strong>First Lady Michelle Obama</strong>). Overall <em>Argo</em> took home three awards, also winning Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Editing. As for the acting categories, there really weren&rsquo;t too many surprises, with all of the frontrunners walking away winners. As expected, Best Actor went to <strong>Daniel Day Lewis </strong>for <em>Lincoln</em> (the first actor to win three Oscars in the Lead Actor category), with <strong>Jennifer Lawrence</strong> taking home Best Actress for <em>Silver Linings Playbook </em>(and falling up the stairs as she went to accept); <strong>Anne Hathaway</strong> winning Best Supporting Actress for <em>Les Miserables</em> and <strong>Christoph Waltz</strong> winning Best Supporting Actor for <em>Django Unchained</em>. Other winners included: <strong>Ang Lee</strong>, Best Director for <em>Life of Pi; </em><em>Brave, </em>Best Animated Feature; <strong>Quentin Tarantino&rsquo;s</strong> <em>Django Unchained</em>, Best Original Screenplay and <strong>Adele&rsquo;s</strong> &ldquo;Skyfall,&rdquo; Best Original Song.</span>

  6. LINCOLN TOPS OSCAR NOMINEES

    <strong><span style=&quot;color: black;">Steven Spielberg&rsquo;s</span></strong><span style="color: black;"> epic <em>Lincoln</em> leads the list of nominees for the <em>85th Annual Academy Awards</em>, nabbing 12 nods, including Best Picture, Best Director (Spielberg), Best Actor (<strong>Daniel Day-Lewis</strong>), Best Supporting Actress (<strong>Sally Field</strong>) and Best Supporting Actor (<strong>Tommy Lee Jones</strong>). Coming in close behind is <em>Life of Pi</em>, with 11 nominations. Competing against both films for Best Picture are <em>Silver Linings Playbook, Argo, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Django Unchained. Amour </em>and<em> Les Mis&eacute;rables</em>. The biggest snubs of the day came in the Best Director category. Although they were considered locks, both <strong>Ben Affleck</strong> and <strong>Kathryn Bigelow</strong> failed to get recognized, despite both of their films, <em>Argo</em> and <em>Zero Dark Thirty</em>, nabbing Best Picture nominations. (<em>Les Mis&eacute;rables</em> director <strong>Tom Hooper</strong> was also snubbed in the category, although he wasn&rsquo;t considered as much of a shoe-in.) Other interesting Oscar tidbits: all five nominees in the Best Supporting Actor category (Jones, <strong>Philip Seymour Hoffman, Christoph Waltz, Alan Arkin </strong>and<strong> Robert DeNiro</strong>) are past Oscar winners. <em>Amour&rsquo;s</em> <strong>Emmanuelle Riva</strong>, who is 85, is the oldest Best Actress nominee ever, while <em>Beasts of the Southern Wild&rsquo;s</em> <strong>Quvenzhan&eacute; [Qua-VEN-zha-ne] Wallis</strong> is the youngest Best Actress Oscar nominee ever at 9 (she was six when she shot the film). <strong>Leonardo DiCaprio</strong>, who received a Golden Globe nod for <em>Django Unchained</em>, failed to get a nomination. &nbsp;This year&rsquo;s Oscar host, <strong>Seth MacFarlane</strong> received a nod for Best Original Song for his <em>Ted</em> tune &ldquo;Everybody Needs A Best Friend.&rdquo; And <strong>Christopher Nolan&rsquo;s</strong> <em>The Dark Knight Rises</em> didn&rsquo;t get any nominations, not even in technical categories.</span><a href="http://oscar.go.com/nominees"><span style="color: #1155cc;">Click here</span></a><span style="color: black;"> for a complete list of nominees.
