Then after Dev Patel, star of SlumDog Millionaire came on, he lamented the lack of the Oscars this year:

Later, right after Dev sat down, he said of the Oscars (this year being hosted by Hugh Jackman, not Stewart), "This is the kind of film that I think would be recognized by the Oscars if they were holding them, which they are not because if they were I would obviously be hosting them."

The Curious Case of Forrest Gump

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button won 13 Oscar nominations this morning, putting it in the rarefied echelon of an elite class of films. Titanic had 14. I admire Benjamin Button, but I didn't love it.

Wow. It's really something when you see these films side by side like this. I didn't realize that Eric Roth wrote both films until I saw this video on Daily Dish:

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Trailer

A bit more than what we got in the teaser trailer.

Trailer for Brad Pitt's next movie - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

From Huffington Post: "A European version of a trailer for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has found it's way onto YouTube. While Paramount has removed others for copyright infringement, the below, for now, still plays. The movie is the big screen adaptation of an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story by the same name and stars Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. Spanning most of the 20th century, the story begins when Pitt, as the titular character, is born an old man and ages backwards. Blanchett plays his love interest Daisy. There is also supposedly a cameo by Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, but not in the trailer. The film opens in December."

This movie was filmed in New Orleans, and was the reason Brad and Angelina moved to the city for a time. Please God may it not be another train wreck like Meet Joe Black.
