Anne Hathaway was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role at this year’s Academy Awards for her role of girl battling drug addiction in the movie Getting Rachael Married but the Oscar went to 5 times nominee and first time winner actress Kate Winslet.
All the same the actress has vowed to keep a far distance from drugs, but her experience does not stem from her movie but from a wild night at college which convinced her illegal substances would swiftly sabotage her career.
She says, “I do terrible things. I just have very discreet friends. I had an experience at college where I was at a party and people were passing cocaine around, and I looked at it and thought, that’s not a horse I can ride, I’m never going to do that. So I passed the tray along and left the room. Being an actress is hard enough without complicating it with drugs.”
Great way to go Anne Hathaway and we love you for that, maybe you can start a no drugs campaign and roll in Amy Winehouse.
According to reports, Zac Efron is going to join Hugh Jackman on stage in a song and dance routine directed by Baz Luhrman that promises to shake things up at Sunday night’s Oscars. It is also being said that Beyonce will also be joining in the number, together with ‘Mama Mia’s’ Amanda Seyfried and Dominic Cooper and High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens. Zac is also slated to present the award for Best Original Song. I don’t know about you but Zac is acting a little too flamboyant these days don’t you think? That song and dance at the Oscars isn’t going to help his case.
One thing that unifies the people worldwide is that excitement brought about by the Academy Awards scheduled this year on February 22. More popularly known as Oscars Award, the Academy Awards night is said to be an exclusive event that not even all the Academy members are guaranteed an entry. So who gets to be in the Oscars? Aside from the nominees and presenters of course who are guaranteed entry, the other hotties are included in a lottery and those who win gets an invitation for the Oscars Awards. If you are a hottie then you get a chance to be at the red carpet even if you are a non voting member. The Kodak Center, aptly called the Forbidden City because only the chosen few will be allowed inside for the Oscar night, only has a capacity of 3,300 people. And with about 6,000 members from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science, you bet not even 50% get an Oscars invitation.
The Oscars red carpet is a prestigious event that it is highly used to promote designer brands and other products from fashionable clothes, shoes and jewelries. Celebrities who want to be the center of attention only need to dress his or her best, walk the red carpet and be in the center of the klieg lights. Take for example Heidi Klum who is not even a voting Academy member but made the red carpet during last years Oscars Award where she shined in a dragon and fiery-red gown as Coca Cola’s ambassador of heart awareness. The younger set Miley Cyrus of Hannah Montana (last year’s presenter), Zack Efron of High School Musical and Robert Pattinson of Twilight had the chance to be invited as presenters.
