Oscars Nixing Montages, Elaborate Nominee Tributes From Telecast (Exclusive)

Producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer have booted a number of familiar elements from the Feb 27 show.

As preparations for the 83rd annual Academy Awards move into high gear, producers Bruce Cohen and Don Mischer have booted a number of familiar elements from the Feb 27 show.

Gone will be the movie montages -- like last year’s salute to horror movies -- that often contribute to the broadcast’s unwieldy running time. While there will be film clips from the ten best picture nominees and brief filmed introductions to different segments of the show, “Within the body of the show, we are not doing any film montage sequences,” Cohen tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview. 

 

Gone too will be the relatively new tradition, established just two years ago, of using five presenters to offer tribute testimonials about each of the best actor and actress nominees. “We’re not going to do that this year,” Cohen says. “What we did love about it was that it was a moment where each of the nominees really gets their due. [But] we found a version of that, without using the five people on stage, from the 1970 Oscars, and we stole it.”

 

The producers also have enlisted the nominees’ mothers to participate in promotion and pre-show activities, and some of them will be in the audience for the telecast. 

 

This year’s producing team is restoring individual performances of the four nominated songs, which were eliminated last year. Producers were upset that Cher, a major audience draw, was not nominated for her Burlesque ballad, “You Haven’t Seen the Last of Me.”

 

“We were surprised, and we were disappointed,” Cohen says when of the song, which won its composer and lyricist Diane Warren a Golden Globe but failed to earn an Academy nom.

 

They have lined up most of the other names associated with the songs that were nominated, though: Randy Newman will perform his “We Belong Together” from Toy Story 3; Mandy Moore and Zachary Levy, who sang the duet “I See The Light” on the Tangled soundtrack will reteam with composer Alan Menkin; and Gwyneth Paltrow, who sings “Coming Home” in Country Strong will reprise that tune on the broadcast.

 

Because Dido, who was nominated along with Rollo Armstrong and A.R. Rahman for the song “If I Rise,” from 127 Hours was not available, the producers have drafted Florence Welch from Florence and the Machine to appear with Rahman.

 

 “We feel we really lucked out, and this is a good year to bring the best song performances back,” Cohen says.

Prince William-Kate Middleton Wedding Sends Cable Networks Into Programming Frenzy

A slew of shows and specials about the royal family will precede the couple's April 29 nuptials.

Royal fever is catching on in the U.S., and cable networks plan to capitalize on the frenzy with a series of specials leading up to the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

In addition to Lifetime, which plans to air a biopic about the couple titledWilliam and Kate, other networks such as BBC, TLC and Wedding Central will bombard U.S. audiences with programming to generate excitement about the event, which will take place April 29 at Westminster Abbey.

 

BBC Worldwide America, the American branch of the U.K.-based public broadcaster, leads the pack with the most extensive pre-wedding coverage. The network has already aired two specials, William & Kate: Modern Monarchy and Modern Monarchy: Here and There, and intends broadcast up to half a dozen others about the royal family before the event.

 

The network’s aggressive wedding drive will culminate with Royally Mad, a two-part series that takes four American royal wedding fanatics to London for their first time to visit the people and locations that feature into William and Kate’s story. So You Think You Can Dance's Cat Deeley will host the show, set to premiere April 12.

 

"We wanted to do a combination of programming that took an affectionate look at the wedding but could also have a sense of humor," Perry Simon, general manager of BBC Americas, told the Associated Press. He added, "It's wedding fever here. All wedding, all the time."

 

TLC also has a number of royals-themed programs on its slate, including specials on Princess Diana’s bridesmaid India Hicks and hoarders of royal memorabilia. Meanwhile, Wedding Central, a relatively new offshoot of women’s network WE TV, is working on its first original program, a documentary called William and Kate: The Wedding of the Century that will feature interviews with the people involved in making the big day happen.

 

The wedding itself will receive extensive coverage on most major news programs, but will not be broadcast in 3D as previously rumored.

Robert Downey Jr. May Shoot 'Inherent Vice' for P.T. Anderson This Fall

Robert Downey Jr. is making plans to fill the fall hole in his schedule with the lead role in Inherent Vice for writer-directorPaul Thomas Anderson.

Anderson has been working on a screenplay adaptation of the 2009Thomas Pynchon novel while trying to get another film -- an untitled exploration of a religious organization sometimes referred to as The Master -- off the ground. Once Downey dropped out of Disney's Oz, the Great and Powerful last month, it freed him to do another movie later this year after he shoots The Avengers for Marvel and Disney. His commitment to Anderson's movie has recently grown serious.

Vice is a comparatively accessible Pynchon work that tells the story of a stoner detective who gets wrapped up in a number of mysteries in 1969 L.A. while the Manson Family trial growls in the background.

Downey, who last starred in Due Date and Iron Man 2, has wrapped filming on Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows for director Guy Ritchie and Warner Bros. That sequel comes out in December. The actor has a number of projects in development at his Team Downey shingle, plus Iron Man 3 to film for Marvel and Disney in time for a summer 2013 release. Avengers is scheduled to begin shooting in the coming months.

Anderson last wrote and directed There Will Be Blood, which grossed $76 million worldwide in 2007. He has spent the last few years developing The Master for Philip Seymour Hoffman to star, and now he is trying to secure financing for both films.

Both Anderson and Downey are repped by CAA, which declined to comment.

Musician Sues After Studio Shuts Down 'Twilight' Tribute (Exclusive)

An Ohio musician with ambitious plans to have his music heard by fans of The Twilight Saga is now suing the film's distributor,Summit Entertainment, for standing in his way.

Matthew Smith, who works under the moniker Matt Heart, created a song entitled "Eternal Knight" in 2002. This past November, Heart engaged in a bold marketing campaign to connect the song to new audiences. He posted the song on YouTube and sold it via iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon and other sites. Most audaciously, he says he negotiated to distribute and promote the song in various movie theaters for 28 weeks, hoping to reach an estimated 5 million viewers via an agreement with Screen Vision, which sells ads in theaters around the nation.

But Heart got into trouble when he commissioned a CD cover for "Eternal Knight" indicating it was inspired by the Twilight Saga. The cover art shows a moon and uses a similar typeface to that ofTwilight's movie poster.

The move caught the eye of Summit's legal department, which alerted YouTube, iTunes, Amazon and others to alleged infringement of its intellectual property. Heart's song was removed from those outlets.

Heart and Summit's legal counsel then e-mailed each other, with Summit lawyer Regan Pedersontelling him that "YouTube's digital infrastructure does not differentiate between copyright infringement and trademark infringement," but that Summit was concerned about the trademark violation and had thus initiated a takedown. Pederson wrote Heart that absent the Twilight mark, Heart could repost his music so long as there was no reference whatsoever to Summit's intellectual property.

Heart now claims in his lawsuit, filed yesterday, that Summit misrepresented its legal rights and that the song couldn't have infringed Twilight since it was written and copyrighted first. Never mind, it seems, that Heart may have done a bit of misrepresenting himself over how the work was inspired. 

He's suing Summit for fraud, misrepresentation, infliction of emotional distress, tortious interference, and defamation for allegedly getting in the way of his contractual agreements on the song. He wants at least $75,000 in damages.

Heart isn't the first to kick up a legal fuss over a supposedly illegitimate takedown. See the Stephanie Lenz saga. But the case of the entrepreneurial musician against the protective studio is certainly a strange one that could provoke an interesting legal response. In the meantime, we've reached out to Summit and we'll update if we hear anything.

"Clint Eastwood To Make FBI Founder Life Based Movie"

Clint Eastwood is making a movie about the life of America’’s legendary crime fighter, J Edgar Hoover.
The actor-turned-director is expected to focus on some of the sleazy secrets of the controversial founder of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, reports the Daily Express.
The Oscar-tipped blockbuster, J. Edgar, is the most eagerly awaited biopic for years, according to critics.
Leonardo DiCaprio is to play Hoover and Dame Judi Dench his domineering mother, Anna Marie.
Behind his facade as a tough anti-communist and upholder of the American Dream, Hoover has long been suspected of being a closet homosexual and cross-dresser.
Eastwood recently hinted that he was well aware of Hoover’’s double life - and believes he is the perfect filmmaker to bring one of America’’s greatest figures to life on the screen.
"He (Hoover) was a very complex person. The homosexual aspect is just one of many. I would say that’’s the least of his problems. But he was also very clever about keeping himself in a certain position in life, so it is an interesting study," he said.
"He is a fascinating character, and I think I am the right person to do it, not because I knew him or anything, but I did grow up with him. He was an iconic figure," he added.
Filmgoers will have to wait until 20112 to see how 80-year-old director portrays Hoover. The film is currently being shot in the historic quarter of Los Angeles.

Who Stole Paris Hilton's $3,200 Absinthe-Spiked Birthday Cake? Read more: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/hwood_party_girl/b227101_who_stole_paris_hiltons_3200.html#ixzz1EN1SC9Xu

It's one thing to crash someone's party.
It's a whole 'nother thing to make off with their pricey, custom birthday cake!
But that's what happened to Paris Hilton during the first of her multiple 30th birthday bashes in L.A. on Tuesday night...
TWITTER: Follow PartyGirl
Paz, an uninvited guest who managed to sneak in with his friend to the Moulin Rouge-themed bash, wrote a detailed post on Facebook, (complete with photos) of how he stole one of her two custom cakes after a waiter told him they'd probably toss it.
"I hated the idea of something so awesome and expensive going to waste," the rapper and musician tells me exclusively.
Well, today, Lucid, the absinthe that was used in the liquor-infused confection (which was made by Hansen's bakery on their behalf) released a self-promotional statement.
"It is very unfortunate that someone stole the cake from Paris' birthday party," the company said. "We had the cake designed especially for her with Lucid in the batter and a beautiful representation of Lucid's artwork on it, which she requested to meet the Moulin Rouge theme of her party. We only wish that guests could have tried her delicious cake."
Well, some other people will still get a piece, according to Paz. "I'm bringing it a homeless shelter on Skid Row. There are too many people in this city who don't get to eat. They should get to enjoy something awesome," he tells me.
(Because liquor-infused three day old cake is what every homeless person wants, right?)
Paris' rep had no comment on Cakegate, but a source close to the birthday girl says, "She thinks it's so pathetic that someone feels the need to get attention like that."
Not that she's probably missing that cake too much. She scored yet another cake during her NYC fete at Lavo last night, and is celebrating her 30th yet again back in L.A. on Saturday at Beacher's Madhouse.
