Academy News: Live Shorts, Academy on Twitter, Countdown to Oscars
In this latest installment of Academy News, news from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, 10 "Live Action Shorts" have advanced in the Oscar review period, AMPAS has a Twitter account, and this weeks starts the "Countdown to Oscar Night In America."
Live Action Shorts
Out of 76 pictures, 10 have moved to what could be called the semi-final round before between three and five are selected as nominees for the "Live Action Short Film" category at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.
The next step is for The Short Films and Feature Animation Branch Reviewing Committee, which looked at all 76 movies during special screenings in New York and LA, to have their branches in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco hold their screenings. That will happen in January 2011, with the nominees to be named January 25th, with the other Academy Awards nominations at 5:30 AM. Here are the films:
After this blogger's badgering last year, AMPAS is finally on Twitter! Hooray! The Academy is at @TheAcademy and needs more followers! As of this writing it has just 2,607 Twitter followers. This is where stars like with massive Twitter followers and who should be named hosts should chip in, like Ellen DeGeneres @TheEllenShow and Lady Gaga @ladygaga, as well as the Oscar Hosts Anne Hathaway @hathaway_anne and Janes Franco, who needs a new Twitter page.
Countdown to Oscars
Finally, it's just 80 days to the 83rd Annual Academy Awards on Sunday, February 27th, and 50 cities will host special charity events. While there are a number of events held in a given area, only one will be selected as the official "Oscar Night In America" party for that metropolitan area.
Stay tuned.
