Ellen dragged out of Hell

For the past month, it seemed like Ellen Page was signing up for a new movie every other day. Today however, it was announced that Ellen will drop out of Drag Me to Hell due to a change in the start date of production, which caused conflict with her schedule.

Juno goes 1-for-4 at Oscars

As I had predicted, Diablo Cody (original screenplay) picked up the lone award Juno won at the Oscars.

I did fairly well with the rest of my predictions. Here are the ones I missed:
Best Picture (No Country won, I picked There Will Be Blood)
Best Supporting Actress (Tilda Swinton won, I picked Cate Blanchett)

And the Oscar goes to...

Marion Cotillard. Oh, she's just lovely, isn't she?

In some way, I'm actually a bit relieved that Ellen Page didn't win because quite honestly, Ellen really wouldn't deserve the award if she did. I say that as the seemingly lone Ellen Page fan who isn't passionately blind.

Happy birthday Ellen Page

She turns 21 today. To have your 21st birthday fall upon the total lunar eclipse during the wolf moon... hmm...

Sharing her birthday include Kelsey Grammer, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Alan Rickman.

Juno hits DVD and Blu-ray April 15th

Juno, which is still in the box office top 10, will be hitting store shelves on April 15th.

There will be two different DVD editions - a single-disc and a two-disc. The two-disc edition will have audio commentary by Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody, four making-of featurettes ("Way Beyond 'Our' Maturity Level: Juno - Leah - Bleeker", "Diablo Cody Is Totally Boss", "Jason Reitman For Shizz" and "Honest To Blog!"), eleven deleted scenes, three outtake reels ("Gag Reel", "Gag Takes", "Cast and Crew Jam") and screen tests.

The Blu-ray version will contain everything the two-disc DVD edition will, plus two TV specials - "Fox Movie Channel Presents: World Premiere - Juno" and "Fox Movie Channel Presents: Casting Session - Juno".

Those of you with HD-DVD players are screwed, but you should have known that two years ago.

Ellen on Ellen, part 2

Ellen Page is once again set to appear to The Ellen DeGeneres Show this Friday. You may remember that she was supposed to guest on the show last month, but bailed out because [insert conspiracy theory here].

Ellen signs on to another movie

Looks like Ellen Page has signed on for another movie - a psychological thriller named "Peacock" which also stars Cillian Murphy. This is like... what... the third movie she's signed on for in the past 30 days?

The title is derived from tiny Peacock, Neb., where Murphy's character, a split personality, fools the town into believing his two alter egos are man and wife. Page plays a struggling young mother who holds the key to his past and sparks a battle between the personalities.
