Kate Winslet Is Old
Just Jared have got some snaps of the beautiful Kate Winslet looking old and wrinkly on the set of The Reader in Germany. The film follows a man (Ralph Fiennes) who has been sexually obsessed with an older woman (Winslet) for years. However, it turns out she is prosecuted for Nazi war crimes when it is revealed that she was a guard at Auschwitz!
So not only is Kate Winslet playing an old women, she is playing a bitch of an old women who makes younger men sexually attracted to her and was a part time Nazi. I demand they give Kate the Oscar now! She’s been nominated 5 times and its about time she won one. Heavy make-up helped Charlize Theron, sex helped Halle Berry and war helps about everything when it comes to Oscars. This role is all three rolled into one!

Oscars: No More Musical Threesomes!
Is this Enchanted’s fault?
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced it is changing the rules in the Music, Original Song category. Although there is no limit on the number of songs a production may submit for consideration, a film will now only be eligible for two nominations in the category.
As you may recall at the most recent Oscars ceremony, Enchanted had three nominated songs, which were all performed on the telecast. Despite the strength in numbers, they were passed over in favor of “Falling Slowly” from the wee Irish film Once.
As well, the Academy is altering the procedure for nominating Foreign Language Film, which seems designed to open up the process to worthy movies that might not have been eligible under the previous rules.
These seem perfectly reasonable now, but it’s probably a sure thing that some film will be released soon in which three songs clearly merit distinction.
Who knows? Maybe the songs will be in a foreign-language film.
Stan Winston dead at 62
One of the pioneers on the technical side of the movie and TV industry has died. Stan Winston did makeup and special effects for several TV shows and TV movies over the years, including Amazing Stories, Roots, Manimal, Get Christie Love, and Gargoyles, as well as dozens of classic movies, including Iron Man, all three Terminator films, Edward Scissorhands, The Thing, Pearl Harbor, Batman Returns, The Wiz, Predator, Jurassic Park III, The Relic, Congo, Aliens, Invaders From Mars, Leviathan, Galaxy Quest, and many others. He also directed several movies, including Pumpkinhead and Ghosts, which he also wrote. He also created the costumes for the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special in 1978. Winston won several Oscars and other awards for his work.
Winston died of cancer in Los Angeles last night at age 62. He had battled multiple myeloma for several years and died at his home. At the time of his death he was working on the next Terminator sequel, Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins.
Jake Gyllenhaal Sang Showtunes for Cowboys
It’s a good thing Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are tied at the hipotherwise, Billy Crystal’s commentary on the new collector’s edition of City Slickers might raise some eyebrows…
Remember Billy’s young son in Slickers? We didn’t, but it turns out the Brokeback Mountain star already had a cowboy movie to his creditGyllenhaal made his debut as a 10-year-old in the Crystal-helmed Western comedy.
Thanks to a review of the reissued DVD in the June 6 issue of Entertainment Weekly, we learn that the popular Oscars host pokes fun at his young costar in the film’s extras (or maybe it was just a psychic casting prediction):
“He was always performing,” remembers Crystal. “He would sing from South Pacific and we’d all go, ‘He’s gay, he’s going to be gay.’”
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
