Bullock's personal acceptance of her two Razzie awards for the deplorable All About Steve the evening before the Oscars was just icing on the self-deprecation cake. Rather than view the Razzies, saluting the worst that Hollywood has to offer, as an embarrassment and praying people would ignore it, she embraced it. Instead of an obvious Oscar hindrance, her willingness to laugh about it pretty much sealed her deal...

...Grudge Report. Maybe the Oscar voters simply hate Cameron; apparently that's an easy and widespread feeling in Hollywood. The evening provided ample evidence that some categories were a popularity contest - not among the mass of viewers but the 5,000-plus Academy voters. They may as well have scrawled, "We like you, we really like you," on their ballots next to the boxes checked off for Best Actress Bullock (The Blind Side) and Best Actor Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart). The victors' chief competition, Meryl Streep and Clooney, were two more examples of the haves: 16 Oscar nominations...

While talented stars from the Indian regional-language film industry continuously migrate to Bollywood, I doubt any of Bollywood's megastars will ever fully migrate to Hollywood.

Once upon a hollywood time, talent scouts searched for pretty girls who could read lines, play comedy and sing ... opera. The girlish Deanna Durbin established the recipe in the late 1930s; Kathryn Grayson, who died Feb. 17 at 88 in Los Angeles, perfected it by adding a saucy sex appeal. For more than a decade, from Thousands Cheer in 1943 to The Vagabond King in 1956, she was the leading soprano at MGM and one of its top stars...

...Sierra Club and the Rainforest Action Network, the enviro-alliance bought ads in the Hollywood trade press this week to highlight the similarities between Avatar's plot - the pristine planet of Pandora, 4.37 light-years away, is imperiled by a rapacious Earthly corporation bent on destructive mining - and environmental hotspots on this planet. The groups have also launched a social media campaign on Twitter and Facebook urging Cameron to talk about Avatar's pro-environment theme at the Oscars. "There are so many situations like what happens in the film happening on planet Earth," says Orli Cotel, deputy communications director...
