Jeff Cronenweth on His Oscar Nomination for The Social Network and Joining His Late Father as a Nominee

When The Social Network ‘s Jeff Cronenweth was nominated on Tuesday morning for Best Cinematography, he joined a very rare network: Father-son Oscar nominees. His late father, Jordan Cronenweth, had worked on films such as Blade Runner and was among the chosen cinematographers at the 1987 ceremony for his work on Peggy Sue Got Married . Movieline spoke to Cronenweth while he had a rare free moment on the set of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo about his reaction to being nominated (hint: he would like to win, too), his competition, and what it means to be in the same company as his late father.

Jon Favreau Did Not Write the State of the Union Address

How about Barack Obama’s State of the Union address last night? Wasn’t it — um, muted? Yeah, it was. Still, that probably had more to do with the state of the country and the recent shootings in Arizona — plus the awkward bipartisan seating arrangement — than anything else. As such, let’s give it up to Jon Favreau for making chicken salad out of chicken you-know-what! Not that Jon Favreau. “Thanks for all the congratulations,” the Cowboys & Aliens director wrote on Twitter. “But I didn’t write the State of the Union address.” No truth to the rumor that Political Favreau — the president’s speech writer — walks around the White House talking about how he’s BFF with Robert Downey Jr. [ @Jon_Favreau ]

Lil Wayne Calls Shooting ‘Welcome To My Hood’ Video ‘Scary’

‘I don’t know about these n—as, but I’m scared of heights,’ he tells MTV News on the set of DJ Khaled’s single. By Mawuse Ziegbe, with reporting by James “FLX” Smith Lil Wayne on the set of DJ Khaled’s music video for “Welcome To My Hood” Photo: MTV News Even though the track ” Welcome to My Hood” dropped just two weeks ago, DJ Khaled wasted no time getting his superstar homies to the M.I.A. to shoot the accompanying video. Khaled — along with Lil Wayne, Plies, Rick Ross and T-Pain — headed to the Overton area of Miami on Thursday to shoot the ‘hood-centric visual and told MTV News that the clip will reflect the same rugged bombast of the posse cut. “We going in,” he said, with his trademark hype-the-hell-out-of-everything energy. “This the movie: ‘Welcome to My Hood,’ biggest record in the country, hurtin’ the streets right now.” Director Gil Green, who has helmed tons of Khaled visuals, said the video will demonstrate what the Miami DJ is known for: packing his visuals with A-list hip-hop names. “DJ Khaled, he always brings the all-star team, and that’s what he’s doing today,” he said. Green added that he was on hand to add artistic finesse to the clip. “We shooting a movie-type video — a lot of cinematic camera work and flavor and a lot of ‘hood stuff.” Frequent Khaled collaborator T-Pain said the single from the We the Best Forever star’s first Cash Money project is a follow-up to another major record, which also features the Auto-Tune king, alongside Trick Daddy, Ross and Plies. “This one’s special, ’cause everyone was asking for ‘I’m So Hood’ part two, and that’s what we giving everybody,” Pain explained. “So, you know, in due time, we gonna get to everyone’s request, but right now, we just working on ‘I’m So Hood’ part two, ‘Welcome to My Hood.’ It’s part two, and it’s gonna do just as good as ‘I’m So Hood.’ ” “I’m So Hood (Remix)” alum Wayne was also around for the fun — although he did cop to getting shaken up while filming one of the scenes on a raised platform. “We just shot a shot up there; it was super scary,” Weezy said. “I don’t know about these n—as, but I’m scared of heights.” Aside from briefly facing his fear for a dope “Hood” shot, Wayne, who was accompanied by Cash Money boss Birdman and Young Money honcho Mack Maine, maintained he was feeling good otherwise and admitted he had another mission to tackle off set: finding ladies. “I’m fresh out,” he said. ” … Holla at ya boy if you see me in the streets, baby.” What do you think the “Welcome to My Hood” video will look like?

A “Lil Positivity” Michelle Obama And Wal-Mart Team Up For “Lets Move!”, Promotes Healthy Eating For Families

The first lady is trying to save the youth and change their eating habits, and after taking a look at the kids around the local mall, we’re not mad at her. Michelle Obama is really making an effort to change the way Americans view healthy food. Her “Let’s Move” campaign aims to promote exercise and better food choices for families, and already she has started to push for salad bars in school cafeterias, and encouraged food giants like Kraft and Coca Cola to stop serving out crap (for lack of a better word). So, it makes sense then that companies who want to make the First Lady happy might heed her advice. And now Walmart is doing just that, by unveiling a plan to overhaul the types of food sold at its super center stores across the country. “No family should have to choose between food that is healthier for them and food they can afford,” stated Bill Simon, president and CEO of Walmart. “We are committed to working with suppliers, government and non-governmental organizations to provide solutions that help Americans eat healthier and live a better life.” Its not a joke people, the sh*t they tryna feed us nowadays WILL kill you if you don’t take care of yourself. Act accordingly… Source

Is Justin Bieber’s “Never Say Never” Movie a Must Watch?

Just barely legal to do ANYTHING in this country, Justin Bieber has the world, and every tween and teeny bopper (and some grown women) hanging on his every word. With his young voice, his ALL THE WAY fly style (which I can’t even hate on. Cause his shoe point is on point) and who can forget the hair. Now he is adding a film to his repertoire. Never say Never named after one of his songs (of course) will hit both 3d and 2d theaters February 11th (a day before my 21st birthday). Now I’ve watched the trailer and this seems quite interesting. (or not!) It is basically a documentary of Justin Bieber’s life and how he was into drumming from a young age and the movie continues up until current day and the latest craze of Bieber Fever. (glad I don’t have that) If you’re a Bieber fan, I suggest you go to the doctor before seeing this movie cause you just might pass out during the movie. There is an incredible mixture of old family movies, of Justin as a child (lol oh wait he still is a child) No but seriously, it’s good that his family took the time to document Justin making beats on chairs, playing the piano, playing the guitar because it is quite obvious that has paid off. Also mixed in is some of Justin’s You Tube video. Which we all know was how was discovered. (I need to get my You Tube game up) The movie also gives a behind the scenes look at the Biebs on tour with his mentor Usher, his performances with the big names in the industry. And of course quick interviews with the ever loyal Justin Bieber fans, for without which he would be nothing. And of course to make the movie all nice and warm and fuzzy, the moral behind the movie is to never let someone tell you that you can’t do something. Hints the Never say Never title. People close to Justin, in the film attest to the fact that he was turned away by major labels. He was told that he would never sell. And bottom line – he wasn’t going to make it. And if you’ve been living under and rock or smacked on the head by a dead bird, he has proven many people wrong. Part of me, when I first saw the trailer, was like ok he could’ve had his own ‘E True Hollywood Story” and kept on moving, but I think it is a very smart business move for Justin and his team to make it a motion picture. Because I am willing to bet that he was ALL THE WAY hands on with this project, which means possible royalties from ticket sales, and of course when it’s on DVD he will be making money hand over fist. Touché Justin…Touché. I’m not sure I personally would spend my money to see this movie, and even if I wanted to, I do not want to stand in line with a bunch of screaming and over exaggerated Bieber fans. But I know the film will be a hit at the box office without a doubt.

Matt Damon Recognized At Critics’ Choice Awards For Water.org Charity

‘True Grit’ actor receives Joel Siegel Award. By Aly Semigran Matt Damon accepts the Joel Siegel Award at the Critics’ Choice Awards Photo: Steve Granitz/ Getty Images While Matt Damon has taken the back seat to his “True Grit” co-stars Jeff Bridges and Hailee Steinfeld so far this awards season, the actor was acknowledged Friday night (January 14) by the Broadcast Film Critics Association during the 16th Annual Critics Choice Movie Awards for his humanitarian efforts. In a segment presented by Jimmy Kimmel and Emily Blunt, Damon was given the fourth annual Joel Siegel Award for Service to the Community. While Kimmel provided comic relief, joking that the Oscar winner is “the greatest guy in the world,” the actor received serious accolades for his charity, Water.org. Blunt, who stars with Damon in the upcoming film “The Adjustment Bureau,” explained that the organization Damon co-founded with Gary White helps to “provide developing countries with safe drinking water and sanitation by partnering with local communities.” As Blunt delivered the staggering statistics that less than 1 percent of the Earth’s water is drinkable and more than 1 billion people don’t have access to clean water, Kimmel continued to kid with Damon, telling him, “Sean Penn is actually in Haiti right now … carrying things!” Kimmel, who gets the last laugh at Damon’s expense every night on his late-night show, then cried foul on Damon’s many awards, mocking, “You know how much water he wasted in that shower scene in “School Ties”? A lot!” Damon, playing as good a sport as ever to Kimmel’s jabs, then took the stage to accept his award to a standing-ovation audience that included his “Good Will Hunting” collaborator Ben Affleck. After taking a shot back at Kimmel — “I literally have no idea why you’re here,” he quipped — Damon got serious about receiving what he described as “a wonderful honor.” The actor acknowledged the work of late film critic Joel Siegel, who, as Damon told the crowd, “Believed that you should use celebrity to improve the lives of others and he lived that way. So, I’m really honored to get this in his name.” Though plenty of the segment included joking around with Kimmel, Damon got very serious when he delivered the news that, “Every 15 seconds, a kid somewhere on planet Earth dies because they don’t have access to clean water and sanitation.” Calling that information “disgusting and unacceptable and unnecessary,” he added, “These are issues we’ve known how to solve here for 100 years in our country. … Just imagine if we cured AIDS tomorrow and in 100 years people were still dying of it, 3 million of them a year. It’s just really ridiculous.” Damon concluded his speech by thanking his partner, White, and informed viewers that by donating $25 on the Water.org website, they could give a child “clean water for life.” He then promised that they would change the fact that 1 billion people do not have clean water and offered to viewers, “Feel free to join us.” Related Videos Critics’ Choice Movie Awards Red Carpet Interviews Related Photos 2011 Critics’ Choice Awards Celebrity Candids 2011 Critics’ Choice Movie Awards Show Critics’ Choice Movie Awards Red Carpet 2011
