James Franco and Anne Hathaway ready to prove their value to 83th Annual Oscar
It is the night fans, players and critics have waited so Hollywood is preparing for the Super Bowl of movies: Academy Awards.
Dresses the guests for the awards themselves, there is much to expect from the 83rd Academy Awards, although some critics are already calling "another part of the chain."
(How do they know? Are they psychic?)
This year's show is a bit 'different from the previous programs, the Academy of ditching comedy-come-home to the formula for the two young actors, Anne Hathaway and James Franco.
At just 28 years younger Hathaway is the facilitator. Before the test for broadcast on Sunday, Hathaway said she had never met Franco, 32, who is also nominated for best actor for his performance in "127 hours".
But Hathaway said their chemistry was immediate, jokingly, "I'll have chemistry with James Franco for years."
The choice of location was a shock, especially after pairing successfully last year comedy veteran Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.
However, Franco said he feels the pressure of filling big shoes fun. "Nobody thinks I'm Chris Rock or Billy Crystal, he said." I can try anything and nobody has high expectations, so nobody cares if I'm not very good. "
However, the hosts side, prices should keep some disturbance.
For best actor, the performance of Colin Firth as a monarch stuttering in "The King's Speech" almost a guarantee, the actor took home almost all prices pre-Oscar, including the Golden Globe and Screen Award Actor's Guild.
Firth film "Speech of the King" will face enormous success of "network" by David Fincher in most major categories, including best director and best film. But most of the slightly older generation that Facebook Academy, "Speech" probably win gold.
Regardless, among the 10 nominations for best picture, which includes "the beginning of" Toy Story 3, "Kids Are All Right," "True Grit," Winter's Bone, "" Black Swan "Fighter" 127 hours " and "The King's Speech" and "social network" is the dominant standouts.
Shoo-ins other than Christian Bale for his crack-addicted boxer Dicky Eklund in "The Fighter" and "Natalie Portman" for his role as a tortured dance in "Black Swan".
This does not mean, however, that there is no room for regret. Although Portman is a favorite for best actress, she might lose her performance by Annette Bening "Kids Are All Right", especially when taking into account Bening is a long and successful career.
Melissa Leo won the Globe for "The Fighter", but it faces significant challenges in the movie co-star Amy Adams and rookie 14 years Steinfeld, who missed an appointment Globe for "True Grit," but did cutting supporting actress Oscar ceremony.
Only 11 years older than Mr. Wahlberg and 13 years older than Bale, Leo, dazzled the audience with the boxers role as mother of Alice Ward. But his voice complaints about the existence of ageism in Hollywood and his personal space by Oscar ads, which ask voters to "consider" his victory, he got a lot of criticism.
"I took matters into their own hands," she said Deadline.com. "I knew what I did and said to my representation of how I was serious about this idea. I n 've never heard of any player to take an ad like them, and I wanted to give it a shot. "
"She lost my vote!" Tim Appelo Hollywood Reporter quoted a member of the Academy as saying after seeing the ads.
When it comes to the Academy, popularity plays a role in what is called this year "shock Oscar reflects. Director Christopher Nolan, who was shamefully left nominations in 2008 for "The Dark Knight" was again overlooked for his leadership of the commercial success "Inception."
Other damper Mark Wahlberg for best male lead in "The Fighter" and Mila Kunis best supporting actress in "Black Swan".
But seriously. Nobody watches the Oscars to see who wins. They look for odd and dresses Oscar acceptance speech crazy!
And of course, to see how Hathaway and Franco make.
83. Annual Academy Awards airs on ABC on Sunday at 8:00 p.m. / 5:00 Central.
