Oscar Hopefuls Get Release Dates

the question is, when do these show in the philippines?

November 4: 
Weinstein Co.‘s My Week with Marilyn stars Michelle Williams as the iconic star.

November 18: 
SPC’s Carnage, based on Yasmina Reza’s relationship stage play The God of Carnage, stars Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, Christoph Waltz and John C. Reilly. 
Focus Features’ Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Colin Firth, Gary Oldman (George Smiley), Tom Hardy, Mark Strong and Ciarán Hinds star in the adaptation of John LeCarre’s novel.

November 23:  
TWC’s silent film era The Artist stars Cannes best actor-winner Jean Dujardin. Academy voters will eat this one up (here are Cannes reviews). Paramount opens Martin Scorsese’s 3-D Hugo Cabret. How much will 3-D hurt that film’s playability with older Academy voters? Will Paramount screen it for the Academy in 3-D or 2-D?

And then in December things get rocking: 

December 2: 
TWC opens Ralph Fiennes and John Logan’s Shakespearean Coriolanus, which earned advance raves in Berlin, especially for Vanessa Redgrave. Gerard Butler co-stars.

December 16: 
Fox Searchlight opens George Clooney starrer The Descendents, from Sideways director Alexander Payne, opposite TWC’s Meryl Streep vehicle The Iron Lady.

December 21:
Sony and David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo goes wide, which means they’re seeking a big b.o. weekend. (Congrats to star Daniel Craig, who this weekend secretly married Rachel Weisz, fellow Brit and ex-partner of Darren Aronofsky, with whom she had a child.)

December 23:
Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg’s Adventures of Tintin: Secret of Unicorn is another test of performance capture and 3-D’s strength. On the artier side of the equation is FilmDistrict’s Bosnian romantic war drama Land of Blood and Honey, marking Angelina Jolie’s directing debut. Also opening that weekend is Fox’s Cameron Crowe heart-tugger We Bought A Zoo, starring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson and Elle Fanning, based on Benjamin Mee’s 2009 memoir.

December 28:
Disney Touchstone/DreamWorks moved Spielberg’s second movie, War Horse, from August 12 to December for obvious reasons: awards potential.  “We think there’s room for a couple of holiday movies during that season,” said Stacey Snider some months back on a press call. She hopes that this “love story between a boy and his horse,” adapted by Lee Hall and Richard Curtis from Michael Morpurgo’s novel and the subsequent West End stage hit, will play well into January. “It’s a big market at that time of year.”

Thank you to my parents, my mom and dad who are in the audience tonight. And I know there’s been a lot of thanking of mums, but this is slightly different, because my mum in 2007 was invited by some Australian friends in London to a fringe theatre play reading of an unproduced, unrehearsed play called The King’s Speech. Now she’s never been invited to a play reading in her entire life before. She almost didn’t go, because it didn’t sound exactly promising, but thank God she did, because she came home, rang me up and said ‘Tom, I think I found your next film.’ So with this tonight, I honor you, and the moral of the story is ‘Listen to your mother.’

Fucking awesome.  LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER.

Producers immediately took note when eight-time host Billy Crystal walked on stage and the audience acted as if a grown-up had finally shown up to break up an obnoxious backyard party…

‘When you’re upstaged by a hologram of Bob Hope, you know it’s time to go home.’

the next “Betty White to Host SNL (please?)!” campaign perhaps?

Oscars: Never Seen Rehearsal Photographs
