Ellen up for Orange Rising Star Award

I say this only because "Orange Rising Star Award" sounds fun to have. It is the only Baftas award that can be voted on by the general public.

Ellen's oppositions includes Sienna Miller, Sam Riley, Shia LaBeouf and Tang Wei. Whichever one is British will probably win. I kid.

Juno places third in box office

In wide release, Juno placed third in the box office weekend, taking in $16.2 million, just short of second-place I Am Legend's $16.4 mil and barely ahead of fourth-place Alvin's $16 mil.

Ellen on Letterman tonight

Thought I'd throw up a reminder, Ellen Page will be on the Late Show tonight, 11:30PM on CBS. Or check your local listings? Either way.

A blank of ten days

At least it wasn't ten years this time around. *mumble* *mumble*
Anyways, a rundown on all that's happened in the past week:

Juno cracked into the box office top 10 last weekend at #9, and this weekend at #5, and has now taken in an overall total of over $25 million. Of course, the movie's been advertised a lot more heavily over the past couple of weeks, and had the "benefit" of being tied-in with the whole Jamie Lynn Spears pregnancy shit. I've a million things to say about that, but I'd rather keep it to myself. Best of luck to you, Jamie Lynn.

With the late night shows coming back on, surely Fox would send Ellen out to make the rounds. The only appearance that seems to be confirmed so far is for the Late Show (David Letterman...zzz...) this Thursday, January 3rd. I can only assume that'll be followed by Conan, then Jay Leno and Ellen DeGeneres.

Lastly, I put a start on the gallery. A beta really. It's just something to fill space, don't expect it to be to the level of other fansites, because I'm just not a fansite person.

Ellen picks up SAG nomination

Ellen picked up a SAG nomination for Juno in the category of "Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role". That's another one down.

Juno picks up Satellite Awards, named to AFI's Top 10

Juno won three Satellite Awards, the movie itself for "Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical", Ellen for "Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical" and Diablo Cody for "Screenplay, Original", or basically the same categories it was nominated in for the Golden Globes. The film was also named to the American Film Institute's list of top ten films of the year.

Ellen on Ellen

During her talk show earlier today, Ellen DeGeneres (who by the way, is like my second favorite Ellen) mentioned that Ellen Page will be on the show in the next few weeks to promote Juno. I might've just hallucinated it though, I haven't slept in like 40 hours. Violet is flawed.

...can't help but feel this is a good time to bring up a certain movie regarding lesbian werewolves.
