In this ongoing series of blog posts, we’ll be sharing the observations of our Entertainment Reporter, Kristyn Burtt, with you between now and the Oscars. We’ll be covering the Oscars from set up to day of at the Kodak Theatre and will be on the red carpet talking to celebrities on the day of the event as well.
Today, we’re looking at Best Picture Nominees that are up for the Oscar – and this is one that we believe will also be the Best Director too. Let us know your thoughts by posting here on our blog.
New rules – each movie had to had 5% of the vote in the #1 slot to be considered for Best Picture. We narrow it down to The Artist or The Help. The Help won big at the SAG Awards but as Kristyn points out the SAG Awards is about acting not that’s not a best picture. We all loved The Artist due to the romance and nostalgia celebrating movies – if you haven’t seen it, there’s still time.
Best Picture Nominees
“The Artist” Thomas Langmann, Producer
“The Descendants” Jim Burke, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Producers
“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” Scott Rudin, Producer
“The Help” Brunson Green, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan, Producers
“Hugo” Graham King and Martin Scorsese, Producers
“Midnight in Paris” Letty Aronson and Stephen Tenenbaum, Producers
“Moneyball” Michael De Luca, Rachael Horovitz and Brad Pitt, Producers

We’re excited to have covered the Oscar’s Luncheon with our correspondent, Kristyn Burtt, in attendance. This is one of those events where you get credentialed as press but can’t do video and can’t do photos but can take lots of notes and plug into their feed.
Being an online TV network sometimes has it’s challenges at these events because we don’t operate like a traditional TV station nor do we have the ability to take their video format and try to use it… so we go with what works…. that is until it’s digital all the way and we can take advantage of the interface.
Who do the nominees like to hang out with?
84th Academy Awards, Nominees Luncheon, Brad Pitt and George Clooney
Brad Pitt and George Clooney – they’re the cool kids.
84th Academy Awards, Nominees Luncheon
What are the ladies wearing? It’s still to early to know.
Only a few nominees had an answer, the rest were still being courted by the couture houses so we’ll be surprised when they walk the red carpet.
Eighteen of the 20 nominees in the acting categories were among 150+ Oscar nominees who were in attendance Monday, February 6, at the Beverly Hilton for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to honor for this year’s Oscar contenders at the annual Nominees Luncheon.
