At the North American box office, Crazy Heart (above), The Blind Side, and The Hurt Locker were the only three movies that benefited from their Oscar victories last Sunday.
Starring Jeff Bridges as a down-and-out country singer who strikes up a relationship with a younger woman (Maggie Gyllenhaal), Crazy Heart earned Bridges the Best Actor Oscar, in addition to another statuette for Best Original Song (&#34;The Weary Kind&#34; by T Bone Burnett and Ryan Bingham). 
More than any other film, Crazy Heart has been immensely helped by the awards season buzz. Following Bridges&#8217; win the film lost a mere 5.7 percent from the previous weekend &#8212; the smallest decrease among the top twelve films at the North American box office according [...]]]></description>

At easyodds.com you can bet on who will win the 2010 Oscar. Things look good for Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock, Kathryn Bigelow, Christoph Waltz (1-20), Mo&#8217;Nique, and The Hurt Locker. Meryl Streep and Avatar come in second place, not far behind the top choices in their respective categories.
At the other end, things don&#8217;t look all that good for Morgan Freeman (25-1), Jeremy Renner (28-1), Helen Mirren (80-1), Gabourey Sidibe (20-1), Quentin Tarantino (33-1), Jason Reitman (150-1), Lee Daniels (150-1), Matt Damon (40-1), Penelope Cruz (33-1), or Maggie Gyllenhaal (40-1). And the odds are totally against District 9 (150-1), An Education (150-1), and A Serious Man (200-1).

Best Supporting Actress: Mo&#8217;Nique, Precious

Other nominees: Penélope Cruz, Nine; Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air; Maggie Gyllenhaal, Crazy Heart; Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air.
Like Christoph Waltz, Mo&#8217;Nique will have to come up with new ways of saying thank you once she is called  onstage to pick up her Oscar statuette. The comedienne&#8217;s highly dramatic performance as Gabourey Sidibe&#8217;s  abusive mother in Lee Daniels&#8216; Precious has earned praise across the board &#8212;  across the Atlantic, even. 
Mo&#8217;Nique has won just about every best supporting actress award available in the United States, in addition to a best actress trophy at the Stockholm Film Festival. Initially, the actress gained a reputation of being &#34;difficult&#34; because she wasn&#8217;t showing up [...]]]></description>

Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal in Crazy Heart (top); Sandra Bullock, Tim McGraw in The Blind Side (bottom)

Those expecting to find major surprises in the 2010 Oscar nominations were in for a major surprise: there were very, very few truly unexpected nominees.
All five Directors Guild nominees, Kathryn Bigelow, James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, Lee Daniels, and Jason Reitman were shortlisted by the Academy. All but one of the 20 Screen Actors Guild nominees received matching Academy Award nods; the sole exception was Diane Kruger (Inglourious Basterds), who was replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal (Crazy Heart).
Gyllenhaal&#8217;s nomination, in fact, could be considered the biggest Oscar surprise this morning. Many were predicting that some other actress would take Kruger&#8217;s place at the Oscars, but most [...]]]></description>

As for the his chances of taking home a best actor Academy Award, Bridges remarked he wasn&#8217;t counting &#34;the chickens&#34; though he was thankful because &#34;these awards, that&#8217;s how we get people into the theaters.&#34;
Bridges, who thus far has been the most unactorish winner backstage, also talked about different topics, from his 33-year marriage (&#34;I&#8217;m madly in love with my wife. It was love at first sight&#34;) to the first time he got nominated for an Oscar, back in 1972 for The Last Picture Show, to stepping on John Wayne&#8217;s shoes in the [...]]]></description>
