R-Kush hopes to make it big
THREE years ago, R-Kush (Rory McIntyre) began taking his musical career seriously.
Before, the auto mechanic/cook said he contented with just hanging around his artiste friends like Mavado.
"I know him personally, and what really drove me to take my music to the next level is seeing him succeed," R-Kush told Observer.
His music, he said, is not just about entertainment, but a way of bring people to the right way.
Having accepted the message of His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie five years ago, he said: "Just like the pastor preaches his message, my music is the vehicle."
Born and raised in Stony Hill, St Andrew, R-Kush attended Oberlin High School and always felt that he had good writing skills. Leaving Oberlin, he went on the Kingston Technical High School where he began studying auto mechanics.
"I didn't get to finish my studies," he said. "As you know, I have to feed and take care of my family. But music was always with me — while I was working on the cars, while I was cooking, I was always singing."
Currently, R-Kush is signed to Uptown Hooligans (UTH) Music, which has done work with Richie Spice and Ras Penco. R-Kush said in the next five years he wants to take his music to the globe.
"Get ready for a Kush-attack. I want to cover the globe, go to the Grammy's," he said.
So far, he's performed on Follow The Arrow, Negril Escape, Wiki Waka and has two videos on YouTube — Mek Sure and Yuh Mad.
But what make R-Kush different from others in the industry?
"I am a reggae artiste, positive and uplifting. Right now, the music is going good, but as artiste, we have to be responsible about what we put out. It has to be in line with the creator," R-Kush said.

'Hunger Games' And 'Twilight' Oddly Absent From Oscars
'Harry Potter,' meanwhile, was shut out of its two nominations — but couldn't the YA franchises' stars get involved?

There's still a lot to discuss and digest from the 2012 Oscars, from the glitz and glamour, to the surprises, snubs and glaring omissions.
Speaking to the snubs and omissions category, MTV News couldn't help but notice that, for an awards show designed to appeal to all movie fans, three of the most buzz-worthy film franchises of the last decade were mostly left out of the festivities: "Harry Potter," "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games."
This is not a story about the lack of nominations for the films; we've already complained about the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2" shutout and "The Hunger Games" hasn't even been released yet. But why not involve a few of these noteworthy films' castmembers in the telecast? We consulted a few experts on the subject.
"I think this year is more glaring than most, for sure," said Entertainment Weekly senior writer Sara Vilkomerson. "Personally, I'm surprised there was not a lot of 'Potter' stuff; that was a very lucrative franchise for a lot of people and really critically acclaimed, the last movie. I feel like there was a definite lack of youth. I know in my house, when the 'Hunger Games' ad came on, it felt a little more exciting than certain parts of the telecast."
"The Academy obviously went out of their way to acknowledge the lack of youth appeal — but a handful of jokes in Billy Crystal's video montage and a little token Bieber isn't enough to fix it," added Brooke Tarnoff, senior editor for NextMovie.com. "It's a hard line to walk, enticing younger viewers but still voting with integrity. Maybe the answer is expanding Academy membership to more young actors who will be able to choose 'young people movies' with a clear conscience."
"I'm a house divided on the Oscars and the youth audience," said Shylah Addante, who runs "Hunger Games" fan site Down With the Capitol. "On one hand, as a card-carrying fangirl, I absolutely understand the outrage about last night's 'Potter' snub. For a franchise that has touched the hearts and minds, not to mention the wallets, of so many people around the world for a decade, the absence of Oscar gold left me feeling like the Academy was full of Dementors. On the other hand, the fiercely proud side of me wants a film to win an Oscar because it deserves it — not because it's a tentpole franchise or because it made one bajillion dollars worldwide. If 'Hugo' was any lesson to young Oscar viewers, it is that, in the right hands, a children's/young adult book can become a film worthy of major awards."
"It's a very, very hard line to teeter on. I have full sympathy for the people who are trying to organize it," Vilkomerson said. "It just shows how challenging it is to put on a really good Oscar telecast that makes everyone happy, that hits everything that everybody wants. It's a hard, hard show to put on. Maybe next year, 'The Hunger Games' will be nominated and that will be the easiest way to interlace these two worlds."
Addante agreed with next year's potential for "The Hunger Games." " 'Potter' and 'Twilight' may not have wooed the Academy, but 'Hunger Games,' with its decorated cast and crew, contemporary social and political messages and dramatic plot, may just have what it takes to finally give some critical legitimacy to young adult series and their fans."

VP releases Live At The Turntable Club
THE Turntable Club along the Red Hills Road strip in St Andrew was one of the hippest spots in Jamaica in the 1970s. It seemed the perfect place to do a live reggae album, the first one recorded in Jamaica.
That historic evening in 1974 is revisited on Live At The Turntable Club which was recently released by VP Records as part of its 17 North Parade series.
Dennis Brown, the 17-year-old singing sensation, was headline act with a solid supporting cast of Delroy Wilson, Big Youth and instrumentalist Alexander Portious. The set contains 12 songs, including three by the prodigious Brown, who was scorching local charts with hits produced by Winston 'Niney' Holness, backed by the Soul Syndicate Band.
Brown is captured performing Cassandra, Rock With Me Baby and Give A Helping Hand while Wilson, himself a former child star, does I'm A Happy Man, It's A Shame, Have Some Mercy and You Keep On Running.
Big Youth, another member of Holness' Observer camp, performs Satta Masa Gana Ye (I Pray Thee) and Dread In a Babylon. Portious covers Everything I Own and Love Overdue, big hits for Ken Boothe and Gregory Isaacs, respectively.
The producers have also included an interview with Winston 'Merritone' Blake, one of four brothers who operated the Turntable Club.
Wilson had been singing since the 1960s at Studio One for producer Clement 'Coxson' Dodd, before switching to Bunny Lee for whom he cut several powerful sides such as Have Some Mercy and Better Must Come.
It's A Shame was the first hit for the fledgling Channel One label in 1972.
Many at the Turntable that evening came to see Brown, the boy wonder of reggae who had recorded for Derrick Harriott and Dodd in the late 1960s.
He struck up a fruitful partnership with Holness and the Soul Syndicate that yielded hits like Cassandra, Westbound Train, No More Shall I Roam and Africa.
A press release from VP Records says a vinyl edition of Live At The Turntable Club will be released later this year.
Live albums were the rage in the 1970s. Bob Marley's Live!, recorded at the Lyceum in London in 1975, was the most acclaimed of the handful of in-concert reggae albums released in that decade.
The Turntable Club was one of many party spots along Red Hills Road during the 1970s. It continued to draw lovers of reggae and soul music up until the early 2000s when the Blake brothers ceased playing there.
Three engineers manned the Turntable live concert: Osbourne 'King Tubby' Ruddock, Errol Thompson and Dennis Thompson. Errol Thompson, nephew of legendary producer Arthur 'Duke' Reid, will be honoured this evening by the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association during its awards ceremony at Emancipation Park in St Andrew.

Oscars 2012: Winners And Losers
From Emma Stone to Angelina Jolie's right leg, MTV News relives the best and worst of Sunday night's show.
By Eric Ditzian
Emma Stone arrives at the 84th annual Academy Awards
Photo: Jeff Kravitz/ FilmMagic
The winners of the 2012 Oscars have already been announced. Those lucky men and women have already gone off, gleaming statuettes in hand, to jump from celeb-filled party to celeb-filled party and learn how to carry a champagne glass in one hand and an Academy Award in the other without spilling the former and breaking the latter.
But the official winners' list only tells part of the story of Sunday night's show. There were nipples that might have slipped, legs that poked bizarrely out and an ash-filled urn malfunction on the red carpet. There were front-runners who fell short and dark horses who pulled out unexpected victories. Who were the true winners and losers at the Oscars this year? Let's take a look...
Winner: Billy Crystal
Hauled out from some cryogenic awards-show freezer where time does not pass and wrinkles are not allowed to crease one's face, Crystal emerged onto the Oscar stage for the ninth time ... and didn't make us fall asleep. Much to our surprise, he was consistently funny (and at times, shockingly and thankfully, a tad mean), and delivered a bunch of LOL-worthy video bits.
Loser: Anne Hathaway and James Franco
Remember when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences thought it needed to get all edgy, recruiting two hot young things to helm the biggest night in Hollywood? Hollywood, in turn, hated them. The ghosts of Hathaway and Franco's phoned-in performances could be seen every time Crystal belted out a parody tune or a Borscht Belt zinger to the sustained guffaws of his audience.
Winner: Jennifer Lopez's nipple
It was the singer's most talked-about release in at least a decade. And it may not have actually, ya know, been released from beneath her dress.
Loser: Angelina Jolie's right leg
'Cause, seriously, that was just weird.
Winner: The screenwriter who made fun of Angelina Jolie's right leg
After the "Descendants" won Best Adapted Screenplay, Jim Rash (who also happens to be a series regular on "Community") took to the stage and thrust his leg out in silent, searing mockery of Jolie's prominently displayed body part.
Winner: Emma Stone
She can sing, she can bust into an awesome old-timey voice, she can make fun of Ben Stiller and he'll just take it. The evening was filled with surprisingly funny presenters, but Stone's shtick won the night. Casting directors, listen up: Get that girl a big-screen musical stat!
Winner: Octavia Spencer
Long an awards-season darling, "The Help" ended up only nabbing a single Oscar. Best Supporting Actress winner Spencer made the best of the opportunity, breaking down in tears during a heartfelt acceptance speech in which she thanked everyone from her castmates to the state of Alabama.
Loser: Meryl Streep
Though she won Best Actress — which, according to our estimates, was the 37th Oscar win of her career — even Streep herself appeared sheepish to have swiped the category away from front-runner Viola Davis.
Winner: Sacha Baron Cohen
Handed the gift of a temporary ban from the Academy because he planned to walk the red carpet as his character from "The Dictator," Baron Cohen played the PR war game perfectly, releasing an amusing YouTube video before the show and then, after the Academy relented, spilling the faux-ashes of Kim Jong Il on Ryan Seacrest during a red-carpet interview.
Loser: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
The academy not only proved it had no sense of humor when it banned Baron Cohen, but showed it had no spine when it reinstated him and ended up posting his image on the front page of its Oscar website.
Loser: Michael Douglas
While it was great to see Douglas out on stage and looking so healthy after his battle with cancer, everyone was disappointed that his dad wasn't the one standing in front of the cameras. Then 94-year-old Kirk Douglas' show-stealing intro at last year's Oscars was bizarre and uncomfortable and kinda amazing.
Winner: Zach Galifianakis' inability to pronounce Zach Galifianakis' name
The white tux-clad presenter, perhaps reaching out to Michel Hazanavicius, his brother in unpronounceable surnames, butchered his own family name in the middle of a memorable bit with Will Ferrell.
Winner: The women of "Bridesmaids"
They may not have won an award, but their continuing bit about a Martin Scorsese drinking game was hilarious. And the fact that they were able to bring some humor to the shorts categories — comparing them to the male anatomy — was an impressive feat.
Loser: Bradley Cooper's mustache
Cooper might be the reigning Sexiest Man Alive, but his lip fuzz stood out as the night's creepiest collection of facial hair.
Loser: Bubba Smith
Every year, a handful of beloved actors are left off Oscar's "In Memoriam" montage. In 2012, poor Bubba Smith, who memorably played Hightower in the "Police Academy" movies and who passed away in August at the age of 66, didn't make the cut.
Who do you think were the biggest winners and losers of the night? Leave your comment below!

Friends strengthen Bounty as he mourns his mom's passing
DANCEHALL deejay Rodney 'Bounty Killer' Pryce, says he is coping very well after losing his mother on Sunday morning. The artiste attributes his well being to the overwhelming support he says he has been receiving from fans all over the globe.
“The love and support I’ve been receiving is immense. Globally people are showing they care, especially my fans on Twitter and Facebook and all the other networks.� I know people love me and my mom but it was so surprising to the amount,” he said in BB response to the Observer.
While there are many memories the deejay will have of his mother he says the one thing he will treasure the most about her is the wealth of knowledge she imparted to him and his siblings.
Ringing in his ears also will be the best advise she has ever given it and that’s “to know that there is a God and there isn’t anything that faith cannot fix.”
For Bounty he will miss her love and care as he says during every crisis in his life, she has always been there for him.
“Every moment spent with her was memorable and amusing. Ask anybody that knows her she is the greatest mom and not just for me but for everyone that ever come in contact with her,” he said of the woman everyone fondly refers to as Miss Ivy.

There are zombies in Jamaica!
Relax, they are not real — only in Yosef Imagination's world, anyway. Director Simon 'Sno' Thompson has teamed up with the Priceless Family to produce Zombie Flim, a 10-webisode comedy.
The first 'webisode' is already posted on YouTube with bi-weekly updates planned. Zombie Flim is the brainchild of Aldwayne Tomlinson and Michael Hobbs who both hail from Kingston and are fans of zombie movies which were popular in the United States during the 1970s.
According to Hobbs, he searched the Internet for any production of this nature coming out of Jamaica, but nothing turned up.
"It was just the typical movies or documentaries on politics, drugs, guns and so on. With Zombie Film we are trying to expose different aspects of Jamaica film not just what they are used to," he told Splash.
With no script, Tomlinson and Hobbs said they approached Thompson who is no stranger to 'webisodes' as he had just completed his Konfu Dread series.
Zombie Flim which cost Ja$150 to produce surrounds two youth fighting to survive a zombie apocalypse. Their goal is to make it safely to Tivoli Gardens where they figure there will be enough ammunition to take out the zombies.
Located in West Kingston, Tivoli Gardens has a dubious reputation of producing hardcore enforcers like Vivian Blake and Chrisopher 'Dudus' Coke who were both involved in the Shower possee
Hobbs said going into the project without a script was deliberate.
"Whatever is said is taped on the day, there is no rehearsal. We basically just improvise," he explained.
Director Thompson says viewers will enjoy Zombie Flim's spontaneity, pointing out that there will be no shortage of humour and thrills.
"Our type of comedy is unique and we want to let the world know," he said.
Since the first webisode went up in late January, Thompson said he has received positive feedback, especially from actors inquiring how they can be a part of the project.
While they have not received any financial gain from Zombie Film, Thompson and his colleagues hope the series will open doors for them.

Will 'Dark Knight Rises' Spell Oscars For Batman?
We break down the potential nominations for the Caped Crusader in The Weekly Rising.

Believe it or not, when Oscar night 2013 rolls around, Batman could be donning his dress cape and walking the red carpet as a nominee.
Granted, no one has seen Christopher Nolan's final Batman film, "The Dark Knight Rises," yet, but it's not entirely outlandish to imagine it could have a big night at the Academy Awards next year. If Nolan sticks the landing, it could mean an unprecedented amount of awards consideration for the beloved series.
For an enormously successful movie franchise, Nolan's Batman films have a frighteningly disappointing number of Academy Awards wins and nominations: nine nods, two wins. That's right: Aside from Heath Ledger's well-earned Best Supporting Actor award, the only other Oscar for the series was for Best Sound Editing on "The Dark Knight."
We here at MTV News would love to see the legend end with a dark victory at the Academy Awards, so here are categories where "The Dark Knight Rises" could see nominations — you know, if it's any good.
Best Cinematography: Wally Pfister
Nolan's trusted cinematographer has been with him since the very beginning, shooting every major feature for Nolan since his breakout, "Memento." Pfister won his first Academy Award last year for "Inception," but for his next collaboration with Nolan, they're going even bigger. If the prologue is any indication, IMAX's role in "Rises" will be unlike anything we've ever seen, embracing the large format in new and exciting ways. With IMAX getting a push as the new trendy technology to get people into theaters, Pfister and Nolan's role in embracing the format could spell an Oscar nomination.
Best Original Score: Hans Zimmer
It doesn't get more ambitious than collecting the chanting of thousands of people around the world and incorporating it into a film's score. Zimmer's worldwide vision for his third time scoring a Batman movie could mark his 10th nomination and his second for a Nolan movie. Sadly, a disqualification due to stiff category rules may be likely.
Best Director: Christopher Nolan
If the Academy collectively loves anything, it's certainly fond of paying old debts. They'll award artists who should have won years ago (Scorsese), and they'll award overall achievements ("Return of the King" wins everything). By the end of all this, Nolan will have done something for the ages. He legitimized a genre and restored an American icon to his rightful place. Not only that, he made two (and hopefully three) excellent and ambitious movies. This is the year you reward him for his efforts and heal the wounds of two egregious snubs for "The Dark Knight" and "Inception."
Best Actor: Christian Bale
Here's a wonderful fact about the age we live in: A very recent Oscar winner is playing Batman. One of the greatest actors of a generation is playing one of the most iconic heroes of all time. That fact alone at the very least puts Christian Bale in the mix. But knowing Nolan, he's not just going to put Bale up against a new set of villains, a flaw of the last set of Batman films. He's going to tell a story about Batman, one that's going to push the hero and the man playing him to the edge.
Best Picture
Could "The Dark Knight Rises" be the next "Return of the King"? The only problem there is that the Academy nominated each "Lord of the Rings" film individually before the finale won the big prize. Nolan's Batman films have always found themselves just outside awards consideration, the closest calling coming after "The Dark Knight" in 2009. Many pointed to "The Dark Knight" as a reason for the expansion of the Best Picture category the following year, so with 10 potential nominees now, statistically, it may finally be its year.

Meryl Streep's Surprise Win: Experts Weigh In
'You can never call a Meryl Streep win a real upset, because she's so beloved in the industry,' BoxOffice.com's Phil Contrino tells MTV News.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

Heading into Sunday night's Academy Awards, few expected any major surprises in the top categories. "The Artist" was expected to take Best Director, Actor and Picture, while Octavia Spencer and Christopher Plummer had been considered locks in the supporting categories for weeks.
In the Best Actress category, however, some Oscar analysts (MTV News included) may have been too quick to call the Best Actress category for Viola Davis in "The Help." Such confidence resulted in the biggest surprise of the evening when Meryl Streep won her third Academy Award for her portrayal of Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
So what happened to Davis? In the night that belonged so heavily to the odds-on favorite, how was it that Streep pulled off the upset?
Even Streep had to admit that most people thought the award belonged to Davis. "When they called my name," she said during her acceptance speech, "I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, 'Oh no! Oh come on, why her? Again?' But ... whatever."
Entertainment reporter Jo Piazza said that the crowd's familiarity with Streep may have been her key to Oscar gold. "It wasn't Meryl's performance that gave her the edge," Piazza said. "It was the fact that she hasn't won in 30 years. Her performance was great, but that was what gave her the advantage."
The perceived disappointment was a direct result of both Davis' status as a favorite and the success of "The Help." When it came to ensemble awards, even "The Artist" couldn't come close to topping the wins for "The Help" this awards season. The cast won at the SAGs, the National Board of Review and the Broadcast Film Critics Association. It also certainly helped to have Octavia Spencer cleaning up the Supporting Actress awards wherever she went.
Because of the awards and nominations close to Davis and her strong performance in the film, many saw her as the favorite for Best Actress, despite splitting many of the key awards with Streep. Davis won over the Broadcast Film Critics Association and took home Best Actress at the SAG Awards, the last major awards show before the Oscars.
But all of that overlooks the hefty haul of awards Streep took home before last night's Academy Awards. Naturally, Streep won Best Actress at the BAFTAs, a victory undermined by the very British subject matter of "The Iron Lady, but also, more importantly, at the Golden Globes, where Streep's future Oscar seemed the most likely. Though it may have initially been thought of as the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's signature celebrity-love, Streep's Globes win should have been considered more heavily when predicting the Oscars.
Streep, after all, embodied many of the key traits of an Oscar winner. She played a historical figure, donned makeup to transform into her character and is a repeat winner, so perhaps there shouldn't have been as many "Oh, no's" as there were. Phil Contrino of BoxOffice.com told MTV News that Streep's status as a Hollywood legend should have precluded any talk of upsets. "You can never call a Meryl Streep win a real upset, because she's so beloved in the industry," he said. "It's important to remember that she was running very close to Viola Davis for most of the season."

Meryl Streep Wins Best Actress For 'The Iron Lady'
Legendary actress wins third Oscar in upset victory over front-runner Viola Davis
By John Mitchell
Meryl Streep wins at the 84th annual Academy Awards

In a surprise that clearly shocked even her, acting legend Meryl Streep won the Best Actress Academy Award on Sunday (February 26) for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady."
It's Streep's third Oscar; she won in 1979 for her supporting turn in "Kramer vs. Kramer" and for Best Actress in 1983 for "Sophie's Choice." Her nomination for "The Iron Lady" was her 17th, the most of any actor in film history. She's received 13 nominations in the 29 years since her last win.
"When they called my name, I had this feeling I could hear half of America going, 'Oh no, come on. Her? Again?' But, whatever," Streep joked from the podium.
In the lead-up to the awards, the race seemed to be a two-way contest between Golden Globe winner Streep and Davis, who took home the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actress. But Davis was easily the front-runner. Her film, "The Help," was by far the most successful of all the films nominated in the Best Actress category, and she was the only contender whose film was also nominated for Best Picture.
Streep even embraced her former co-star Davis on her way to the podium. The two were both nominated — Streep for Best Actress and Davis for Supporting Actress — for their turns in 2008's "Doubt."
"First, I'm going to thank Don, because when you thank your husband at the end of the speech, they play him out with the music, and I want him to know that everything I value most in our lives, you've given me," a teary-eyed Streep said.
She also lavished praise on longtime friend and makeup artist Roy Helland, whom she worked with on her very first play when she moved to New York City to be an actress in the 1970s. They first worked together on the big screen in "Sophie's Choice" and have since collaborated on "every single movie in between." Helland scored his first Oscar for his work on "The Iron Lady."
Colin Firth, last year's Best Actor winner for "The King's Speech" and Streep's co-star in the box-office hit "Mama Mia!," presented the actress with the award. The actress dedicated much of her speech to her many colleagues in the room.
"I really understand I'll never be up here again," Streep said. "I really want to thank all my colleagues, all my friends. I look out here and, you know, I see my life before my eyes. My old friends, my new friends. And really, this is such a great honor, but the thing that counts the most with me is the friendships and the love and the sheer joy we have shared making movies together, my friends. Thank you, all of you, departed and here, for this inexplicably wonderful career."

2012 Oscars: Best And Worst Speeches
Meryl Streep and Jean Dujardin won us over, while Bret McKenzie made a critical omission during his acceptance.
By Kevin P. Sullivan

One of the most essential parts of any Oscar night is the speeches. If you win, your job is only halfway done. Now you have to get up onstage in front of a billion people and practice your public speaking.
Some are heartfelt, some are funny, and some will go down in history — for better or worse. With so much of the ceremony dedicated to acceptance speeches, it's important to look back and decide who owned the night and who fell on their face.
Here are our best and worst speeches of the 2012 Academy Awards:
Best
Octavia Spencer for Best Supporting Actress
For as predictable as Spencer's win for Best Supporting Actress was, her speech ended the long road to Oscar night in style. She went with the time-tested acceptance-speech traditions of emotion and honesty. Plus, she thanked the state of Alabama, the only state to get a shout-out during the night.
Meryl Streep for Best Actress
It came as a big surprise, and no one knew that better than Streep. Her "whatever" attitude almost had us forget the upset win over Viola Davis. It may not have been the most just outcome, but at the very least we got a funny speech instead.
Christopher Plummer for Best Supporting Actor
As the oldest person to ever win an acting Oscar, Plummer outdid most everyone younger than him and delivered one of the most memorable speeches of the night. It was class all the way for Plummer, who sincerely thanked his wife, daughter and co-star Ewan McGregor. He joked that, in his mother's womb, "I was already rehearsing my Academy acceptance speech, but it was so long ago, mercifully for you, I've forgotten it."
Alexander Payne, Nat Faxon and Jim Rash for Best Adapted Screenplay
You have to admit that Angelina Jolie was standing a little oddly, with her right leg out of the high slit in her dress, as she read the names of the nominees. Jim Rash, known for his role on "Community," also took note and mimicked the strange posture after he won the award for his work on the "Descendants" screenplay.
Jean Dujardin for Best Actor
A good way to score points as a Frenchman winning an Academy Award in America is to open your speech with, "I love your country!" Dujardin read the rest of his speech to help with his English, but it was the outburst in French at the end of his acceptance that really won us over.
Worst
Bret McKenzie for Best Song
Listen, Bret. We love you, and we're so happy you won. But there would be no Muppets movie without Jason Segel. He may not have written any of the songs, but he co-wrote the film, put his name on the line and sang "Man or Muppet," the winning song. At the very least, you should have given the man a simple "thanks."
Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall for Best Editing
It's understandable that you were caught off guard — "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" didn't get a whole lot of nominations — but you need to be a little more prepared than you were. You're still expected to give a speech. You won just a year ago, so you have enough experience with this kind of thing.
Mark Coulier and J. Roy Helland for Best Makeup
It's OK if you write your speech down before you head onto the stage to accept your award. It's even OK if you read your speech directly from the cards you wrote them on. But please make sure that the speech is a good one if you're going to do so.

For the most part, the Best Director nominees for this year's Academy Awards are a delightfully eclectic but expected bunch, save for a much-discussed alleged snub of industry legend and three-time Oscar winner Steven Spielberg for "War Horse." And for all the love "The Help" has received, there was none for its newbie director Tate Taylor. The chosen five nominees are: Martin Scorsese for "Hugo," Woody Allen for "Midnight in Paris," Terrence Malick for "The Tree of Life," Alexander Payne for "The Descendants" and rising star Michel Hazanavicius for "The Artist."
One could make the "It takes a village ..." argument about filmmaking, but when it comes down to it, a film's director is responsible for the finished product, whether it's good or bad. This year's nominees have made five individually beautiful and moving films, each more than deserving of the Best Director distinction.
But who will win? Hazanavicius and "The Artist" have arguably the most momentum going into the big show on Sunday but face stiff competition from industry favorites Scorsese and Allen, along with the highly respected Malick and Payne.
Who Will Win: Martin Scorsese, but only by a slim margin! As mentioned previously, this one is a tough call. It comes down to the excitement for and love surrounding newcomer Michel Hazanavicius and the excitement for and love surrounding Scorsese for making his first family-friendly film — and a very well-received one to boot. I think the Academy will award Scorsese for "Hugo" to encourage him to flex those family-friendly muscles again.
Who Should Win: Going out on a limb for Woody Allen, because "Midnight in Paris" was one of my absolute favorite films of the year, and the prolific writer/director hasn't taken home a Best Director prize since 1978's crowd-pleaser "Annie Hall." Not all of Allen's films are Best Picture or Best Director caliber, but "Paris" definitely is.
