      Oscars 2020 Follows Golden Globes' Footsteps in Serving Vegan Food

      by

      The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has issued a statement in which the organization declares its commitment to support the planet by reducing carbon footprint.
      Jan 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The organisers of the Oscars are following the Golden Globes’ lead and serving the stars plant-based food after the ceremony.
      The Governors Ball will be 70 percent vegan, with chefs also catering to those who just want vegetarian and fish fare.
      Meanwhile, the menu in the lobby at the Dolby Theater before the Academy Awards will be entirely plant-based.
      “The Academy is an organization of storytellers from around the world, and we owe our global membership a commitment to supporting the planet,” a statement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences reads.
      “For the past decade, the Academy has been committed to reducing its carbon footprint. For the past seven years, the Oscars show has had a zero-carbon imprint. We continue to expand our sustainability plan with the ultimate goal of becoming carbon neutral.”
      The 2020 Golden Globes became the first major awards show to go vegan earlier this month (January 2020).

      'Pinocchio' Live-Action Remake Gets 'Forrest Gump' Director

      by

      Disney

      Robert Zemeckis has officially been signed on to sit behind the lens for the upcoming Disney movie while his frequent collaborator Tom Hanks is in talks to play Geppetto.
      Jan 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Oscar-winning filmmaker Robert Zemeckis has officially signed on to direct Disney’s live-action remake of “Pinocchio”.
      The “Back to the Future” and “Forrest Gump” director will also co-write the latest adaptation of Carlo Collodi’s story about the puppet who becomes a real boy.
      Sam Mendes and Paul King were both previously attached to the project. King stepped down at the beginning of last year 2019.
      Tom Hanks was in talks to portray Pinocchio’s carpenter creator Geppetto in the film, but it is unclear if the project is moving forward with the Oscar-winning star of Zemeckis’ “Forrest Gump”, “Cast Away”, and “The Polar Express”.
      The live-action movie is not the only Pinocchio project in the works – Guillermo del Toro has teamed up with Netflix bosses to make his animated feature film directing debut with a revamped version of the story.

      Sam Mendes Wins Big at 2020 DGA Awards

      by

      Universal Pictures

      The former James Bond director has taken home the top honor for his movie ‘1917’, beating his rivals Bong Joon-Ho, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin Scorsese.
      Jan 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sam Mendes took home the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film prize for his war epic “1917” at the 2020 Directors Guild of America (DGA) Awards on Saturday, January 25, 2020.
      The star beat off fierce competition from Bong Joon-Ho’s Neon’s “Parasite”, Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, and Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” for the award, and thanked his grandfather as he took the stage.
      “My grandfather inspired this film, and he made me when I was 12 sign a contract promising I would write a novel by the age of 18,” he said. “Obviously I’m not a freak, so I didn’t do that, but I did do this.”
      Sam’s victory comes hot off his success at the Producers Guild Awards (PGA) last weekend, leaving the filmmaker a frontrunner for Oscars success next month.
      Meanwhile, Alma Har’el also enjoyed a successful night, winning the Outstanding Directorial Achievement of a First-Time Feature Film Director award for Amazon’s “Honey Boy”, which started as notes from Shia LaBeouf who was doing a writing assignment for his court-ordered rehab.
      Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert were also recognised for their Netflix documentary movie, “American Factory”.
      On the TV side of things, HBO dominated with four of the 11 total categories on offer. Bill Hader took home the Comedy Series prize for “Barry”; Johan Renck was recognised for “Chernobyl” in the TV Movie/Limited Series category; Nicole Kassell won for her episode of “Watchmen” in Dramatic Series; and Amy Schatz won her sixth DGA Award for “Song of Parkland” in the Children’s Program race.
      Don Roy King also won his fifth DGA Award for “Saturday Night Live” ‘s fall finale, which featured returning host Eddie Murphy and musical guest Lizzo.

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      The ‘Empire’ actress is one of the favorite candidates to portray the late ‘I Have Nothing’ singer in an upcoming true-story movie in the works with Clive Davis.
      Jan 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taraji P. Henson could be set to channel late diva Whitney Houston on the big screen, if the singer’s sister-in-law Pat gets her way.
      Pat is working closely with record executive Clive Davis, who played a key role in the “I Have Nothing” star’s rise to success, on the upcoming project, and told TMZ her hopes for the planned movie.
      While the film is in its early stages, she teased the pair are considering several “options” to play the leading role, before adding, “I love Taraji P. Henson.”
      She added, “Taraji is my girl.”
      Pat was also full of praise for Clive, who she described as a “wonderful person.”
      “Let me just say this… We have a wonderful relationship,” she said, adding, “Anything that we can do for him… it’s done. ”
      Whitney passed away at the age of 48 after she was found unconscious in a bathtub on 11 February, 2012. The Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office listed her death as an “accident” caused by drowning and the “effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use,” while toxicology results discovered substances including Benadryl and Xanax in her system.
