The 24th annual awards ceremony has been pushed back one week to Saturday, Jan. 26, 2013 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, which will be produced by Oscar-nominated producer Michael De Luca.
Ten students from nine U.S. colleges and universities have been selected as winners in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ 39th annual Student Academy Awards competition.
They will be brought to Los Angeles to join the international student winners in the Foreign Film category for a week of industry activities that will culminate with an awards ceremony on June 9 at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

The ceremony is to air live on June 3 from the Gibson Amphitheatre in Universal City, Calif., at 9 p.m. ET. This will mark Brand's first time hosting MTV's ode to the movies; the British actor-comedian previously emceed the Video Music Awards, which caps the end of the summer, in 2008 and 2009.
The legendary actor Jack Klugman turned 90 on April 27, and I had the opportunity to meet with him at his home in Woodland Hills, California, a week later. As you can see and hear in the video at the top of this post, Klugman is now somewhat frail and has a hard time speaking as a result of throat cancer that forced the removal of one of his vocal cords in 1989, but he is generally in good spirits and seemed to enjoy reminiscing about his unlikely journey from the streets of Philadelphia to the heights of Hollywood.
It's that time of year again, folks, when unmitigated dreck -- big-budget, formulaic, soulless remakes, sequels and adaptations of comic books (and now even boardgames!) -- not only takes the place of the prestige films that competed for Oscars just a few short months ago, but often earns more in a single weekend than their ambitious predecessors films earned during their entire theatrical runs.
The Directors Guild of America, the one major awards-giving group that had rejected the use of awards-season screeners, has reversed course. The DGA said Monday that its national board voted Saturday to allow studios and distributors to send DGA members “for your consideration” screeners beginning this awards season.
A concert of music from composer James Newton Howard will take place at the 12th World Soundtrack Awards, to be held at the Kuipke Events Centre in Ghent on Oct. 20. The Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by both Howard and Dirk Brosse, will perform selections from his film scores, accompanied by film clips.
At the event, composer Pino Donaggio will receive the World Soundtrack Lifetime Achievement Award, and a selection of his work also will be performed.
American Idol alum Katharine McPhee and breakout star Megan Hilty have been vying for the lead role of a lifetime in NBC’s freshman Broadway drama Smash.
But NBC and the actress' reps are taking them out of the lead-actress spotlight for the upcoming Emmy season. A Smash rep confirms that the only castmember who will be submitted for lead drama actress consideration is Emmy winner and six-time nominee Debra Messing. The rest of the cast will compete in the supporting categories.
Monsieur Lazhar, Philippe Falardeu’s film about an Algerian refugee who becomes a teacher in Montreal school, won the audience award for best narrative feature at the RiverRun International Film Festival, which concluded Sunday in Winston-Salem, N.C. The feature, which was nominated for the best foreign-language film Oscar, also received awards for best actor Mohamed Fellaq, who plays the title role, and Falardeu’s screenplay from the festival’s narrative film jury.
AMC’s Mad Men may have scored four consecutive drama series Emmy wins, but it’s sorely lacking in trophies for its buzzy cast.
Despite raking up nearly 20 nominations for its lead, supporting and guest actors, the series has yet to score an Emmy for any of its acting talent, which is why some of them -- including January Jones -- have been rethinking their strategies.
Now that Ed Helms has an entire season of filling the manager shoes of departed The Office star Steve Carell under his belt, he’ll occupy the six-time nominated actor’s Emmy ballot slot for consideration by the Television Academy.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. -- If Jack Gill has his way, this will be the year that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences finally acknowledges stunt work at the Oscars.
Gill, a master stunt coordinator whose credits range from Dukes of Hazzard to Fast Five, has spent the past 21 years trying to get the Academy to salute the risky work of the men and women who make the Arnold Schwarzeneggers and Jeremy Renners look so dangerous.
And he will have his chance again in three weeks when he meets with Dawn Hudson, the new Academy leader, to formally petition the organization to consider a new category.
