Elizabeth Olsen

Elizabeth Olsen, sister of fashion darlings Mary-Kate and Ashley, strutted onto the big screen with her groundbreaking role in Martha Mary May Marlene. She has several more roles coming up in 2012, which we are excited about—but we’re even more excited to see what she’ll wear on the red carpet. Her fashion choices have become more and more glamorous with each event, reaching a pinnacle with her dazzling, slinky crystal gown.

Awards 2012: If We Chose the Winners

2012-01-04T15:05:00.000+05:00

Best Original Screenplay: Diablo Cody, Young Adult.

Diablo Cody struck back against her Juno naysayers with a script that drops the intentionally-cheeky dialogue in favor of a biting lead character and a series of I-can't-believe-this-is-really-happening scenarios. The script is the perfect summation of suburbia, a playground for Cody's characters to run amok. Young Adult feels like a chance and one that pays off brilliantly.

Runners-Up: Will Reiser, 50/50, Abbas Kiarostami, Certified Copy, Andrew Haigh, Weekend.

----------------------------------------------------

Best Adapted Screenplay: Steven Zaillian & Aaron Sorkin, Moneyball

After last year's The Social Network it should be no surprise that Aaron Sorkin and Schindler's List/Mission: Impossible screenwriter Steven Zaillian were able to mine an emotion out of a story driven by baseball statistics. They're main character Billy Beane (Pitt), strives to leave "feelings" at the door, sticking to number crunching and analysis. But through this exploration, the writers discover what a love for baseball is really about, making for a journey that's riveting, heartwarming and a lot of fun.

Runners-Up: Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon & Jim Rash, The Descendants, Christopher Hampton, A Dangerous Method, John Logan, Hugo.

---------------------------------------------------

Best Documentary: The Arbor

Clio Barnard's staged/documentary hybrid, a look in to the life of playwright Andrea Dunbar, uniquely takes the audio from friend and family interviews and couples it with lip-syncing actors. The result is a harrowing tale, the life of a young woman, her tragic death and the children she left behind to live equally difficult lives. The subject alone is intense and fascinating. With actors "performing" those words, it's even more of a punch to the gut. You can currently watch The Arbor on Netflix Instant.

Runners-Up: Page One: Inside the New York Times, Project Nim, How to Die in Oregon.

------------------------------------------------

Best Cinematography: Emmanuel Lubezki, The Tree of Life

The Tree of Life jumps from grand depictions of the Big Bang to ten-year-olds running around a 1950's neighborhood to dinosaurs roaming the planet to a butterfly gracefully flying in the sky—and it does so with ease. Director Terrance Malick's poetic cinema experience wouldn't have the emotional impact it does without Emmanuel Lubezki's wondrous cinematography, a flowing picture book of an entire planet's history. Discovery Channel documentaries better step it up in 2012.

Runners-Up: Robert Richardson, Manuel Alberto Claro, Hugo, Melancholia, Eduardo Serra, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2.

--------------------------------------------------

Best Foreign Language Film: The Skin I Live In

With so many movies coming out of every country on the globe, it's hard to settle on one Foreign Language movie in a given year (even Angelina Jolie managed to make a great one), but for top honors it's hard to deny the terrifying adrenaline rush of master Pedro Almodovar's The Skin I Live In. A body horror, a character drama, a disturbing look into today's obsession with beauty, the film is an haunting, operatic experience, and features two of the best performances of the year: Elena Anaya as a kidnapped beauty, and Antonio Banderas, who has never been better.

Runners-Up: Miss Bala, In the Land of Blood and Honey, Poetry.

--------------------------------------------------

Best Original Score: Howard Shore, Hugo

Considering individual parts, Scorsese's Hugo may fall to the wayside in 2011, but as a whole film, it's perfection. If there's one cog that truly stands out, it's Howard Shore's delightful French soundtrack. Whimsical and rousing, it's the composers best work since The Lord of the Rings and easily the most inventive of the year. A portal to a classic era of cinema.

Runners-Up: Alexandre Desplat, The Tree of Life, Ludovic Bource, The Artist, Alberto Iglesias, The Skin I Live In.

----------------------------------------------------

Best Original Song: "Star Spangled Man," Captain America: The First Avenger

This category is generally dedicated to animated or kid-centric films, and once again, that's where many of the top tunes of 2011 (The Muppets may have 7 or 8). But the real winner of the year came out of nowhere: a Marvel comic book movie. "Star Spangled Man" was penned by Alan Menken, the showtune wizard behind The Little Mermaid and Newsies. The song's a hilarious interlude in the action—and one that doesn't settle for being a joke. It's not just good, it's toe-tapping good.

Runners-Up: "Life's a Happy Song," The Muppets, "Coeur Volant," Hugo, "Let Me Take You to Rio," Rio;

Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith Sing 'Happy New Year

2012-01-04T09:38:00.000+05:00

Every year when the holidays roll around, traditional Christmas music fills the air. Whether it be via carolers, church hymns, or radio waves -- merriment is everywhere and we can't get enough of it because tis the season for such frivolity. Yes, Christmas is by far the dominant holiday in December, but it's not the only one. What about the never-sung-about New Year's holiday that is severely lacking in the iTunes department? It needs some musical love too, ya know. But have no fear because thanks to Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith, we now have a proper song to welcome the New Year with. Finally!

The song is fittingly called "Happy New Year" and consists of a New Year's Eve-themed slow jam collaboration between the two young artists. Smith kicks off the song with rhymes about the classic NYE countdown, while Bieber graces us with his melodic lyrics regarding a New Year's kiss. In other words, it's all about what usually happens during a New Year's celebration. You know, just in case you didn't know any of that stuff already. Listen to the full song below and start the year off properly.

Rachel McAdams Tells 'Glamour' She Doesn't Date Costars

2012-01-04T09:36:00.000+05:00

Rachel McAdams is known for dating some of Hollywood’s hottest leading men, especially those she's worked with (i.e. Ryan Gosling). And while some would frown upon the idea of mixing business with pleasure, McAdams assures her fans they have nothing to worry about because, according to her, the romances never start up on set. In fact, the actress tells the February issue of Glamour magazine that she makes a point to never date her co-stars...at least, not until they’ve finished working together anyway.

McAdams -- who mind you is currently dating her former Midnight in Paris co-star Michael Sheen -- goes on to explain that it's just too distracting to try to date someone you work with. She says, “A set may seem like a good place for romance, but I don’t think it’s very conducive; it’s too distracting. Every relationship I’ve had with a coworker has come after the fact, because you wind up actually spending a lot of time with those people promoting the movie."

I guess that makes sense, but the fact that she's dated several of her co-stars kind of goes against her theory, doesn't it? Let's be honest, some major flirting must have been happening on set in order for a romance to blossom in the first place, thus making her claims somewhat moot. Plus, I have an extremely hard time believing she never got romantic with our beloved Mr. Gosling while filming the love-filled flick, The Notebook. I mean, COME ON -- who would be able to resist a shirtless Ryan Gosling? It's just not possible.

Dhoom 3 will be Aamir’s best: Abhishek

2012-01-04T09:35:00.000+05:00

John Abraham did it and so did Hrithik Roshan. Now, actor Aamir Khan gets ready to play the antagonist in the much-awaited action film, Dhoom 3. The lead actor of the franchise, Abhishek Bachchan, feels Dhoom 3 will be Aamir’s best performance till date.

“I have huge expectations from Dhoom 3. It has become a really big franchise. I’m specially excited because Aamir joins the series as the lead antagonist. His joining the cast completely raises the level of the franchise as he brings forth a high sense of professionalism and perfection,” Abhishek says, adding, “I have grown up watching and admiring Aamir’s performances, I’m looking forward to act with him. I have had a word with Aamir, and he's really excited about Dhoom 3. I feel that he will give his career-best performance in the film.”

His co-star in the film, Uday Chopra, recently announced retirement from acting after Dhoom 3 hits screens. Abhishek, though, is not buying it: “Uday says that every time after doing a Dhoom film, I can’t imagine a Dhoom film without Uday’s character. He might be a top shot Hollywood producer now, but I think he will come back for future Dhoom films. The characters of Jai Dixit (Abhishek’s character) and Ali (Uday’s character) are pertinent to the franchise.”

Next in line for Abhishek is Bol Bachchan, a remake of the original hit, Golmaal. “Bol Bachchan is not a remake of the original Golmaal, but an adaptation. The treatment of the film is very different. Ajay Devgn plays the role of the boss (Utpal Dutt’s role) in the film,” says the actor, who will next be seen in Players that hits the screens on January 6.

Jacqueline to lock lips with John Abraham!

2012-01-04T09:33:00.000+05:00

Though the sultry actor refused to get intimate with Hrithik Roshan, she agreed to smooch Joh Abraham. Jaqueline will get cosy with John in Race 2, reports Mumbai Mirror. Surprisingly the Murder 2 actor lost out on Krrish 2 due to her relucatance to shoot an intimate kiss with Hrithik Roshan.

"Jacqueline will be playing John Abraham's love interest in Abbas-Mustan's Race 2. She is going to shoot for an intimate lip-lock scene with John soon," a source close to the film told Mumbai Mirror.

The film reportedly will also have a steamy scene between Deepika and Saif.

Ra.One becomes Best Bollywood Movie of 2011

2012-01-03T14:35:00.000+05:00

Actor Shahrukh Khan's much-hyped movie Ra.One, which has smashed all the records at the Box Office, has been voted as the Best Bollywood Movie of the year 2011. The superhero film has topped the Oneindia poll survey by beating the movies like" Bodyguard " and "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara"

Hindi Film Industry has produced more than 130 films in the year 2011 and at least 20% of them have proved to be hit at the Box Office. Oneindia.in, one of biggest portals in India, conducted a month long survey. The website had nominated movies like Ra.One, Bodyguard, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, The Dirty Picture and Singham. Ra.One has become the Best Bollywood Movie of the year 2011 by grabbing 44.6% votes.

However, Salman Khan's hit movie Bodyguard, which is in the second spot in the collection chart of the year 2011, has landed in the second spot with 24.9% votes. Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, The Dirty Picture and Singham have graced third, fourth and fifth position respectively.

" Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Zooey Deschanel Make Our New Year's Eve Wishes Come True "

2012-01-03T14:31:00.000+05:00

What are you doing on New Year's Eve? Whatever it is, it's probably not as cool as hanging out with offscreen BFFs Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel. The "(500) Days of Summer" stars teamed up and recorded a new duet for Zooey's website, HelloGiggles, and it's basically the most adorable thing we've seen all week.

The duo covered Nancy Wilson's classic "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" in a low-production video posted to YouTube. Ever since JGL joined ZD in She & Him's "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" music video, we've been obsessing about their mutual exploits off screen as well as on. We've been crossing our fingers for them to team up again onthe big screen, but the closest we've gotten is their hilarious Cinemash of "Sid and Nancy."

Our Most Anticipated Movies Of 2012: 'The Hunger Games'

2012-01-03T14:26:00.000+05:00

ampire mama-drama, a Zac Efron tearjerker, a new gothic fairytale and a veritable horde of hot naked men: Yep, there was some stiff competition for the primo spot on our list of the most-anticipated movies on deck for the coming year! But with a fervent fan following, an amazing cast and one of the most inventive plot premises ever snatched up by Hollywood, not even the final film in "The Twilight Saga" or the promise of extended footage of Joe Manganiello's bare-naked butt could compete with the thrilling first film adaptation of Suzanne Collins' bestselling trilogy of YA books—and that's why "The Hunger Games" is our hands-down No. 1 pick for Hottest Movie of 2012.

It's hard to say what's more exciting about finally seeing "The Hunger Games" on the big screen: the wild costumery? The action-packed arena sequences? The incredible cast of young up-and-comers? The crowd-pleasing cameos by Stanley "The Tooch" Tucci and Woody "I Make Sadness Hilarious" Harrelson? Or, perhaps, the glorious feature film debut of Seneca Crane's beard?
