Culture: Celebrities are just like us: You know, heroes!

  • winslet Actress Kate Winslet stayed at Richard Branson’s (founder of the Virgin Group) this past weekend. While she was there, a fire broke out on the Caribbean compound. Winslet carried his 90-year-old mother to safety. What a woman!

Culture: Our quick little attempt at Oscar analysis

  • The quirky winners “Wall-E” and “Man on Wire” handily won in their respective categories, Best Animated Feature and Best Documentary. Both had great reviews. Both should have been nominated in the larger categories, like “Best Picture.” One day, Pixar will get a “Best Picture” nod. And we will cheer. source

  • The acting categories You could see the winners coming from a mile away. Heath Ledger won his category a year ago. Kate Winslet won hers a month ago. Penelope Cruz was kind of a shoo-in, too. The only really competitive contest? Best Actor, where it seemed Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn both had a shot. (Penn won.) source

  • Upset of the night In the foreign language category, the frontrunner seemed to be “Waltz with Bashir,” an Israeli documentary with breathtaking use of Flash and traditional animation. It had some pretty awesome reviews and still has some strong buzz. But, sadly, it lost to Japanese film “Departures.” source

Culture: Kate Winslet won’t let anyone draw her naked anymore

  • I think I won’t do it again: a) I can’t keep getting away with it, and b) I don’t want to become ‘that actress who always gets her kit off.’
  • Kate Winslet • on her decision to stop getting naked for the camera. The actress, nominated for a Best Actress Oscar for “The Reader,” apparently does it too much and is worried about her onscreen reputation. If she changes her mind, a bunch of perverts probably wouldn’t mind. • source
