Geoffrey Rush

Nicole Kidman and Cate Blanchett showed support for their fellow Australian actors when they attended the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts Awards in Sydney yesterday. Nicole walked the red carpet in a yellow Erdem dress with nude Brian Atwood sandals while Cate turned up the glamour factor in a red Armani gown. The ladies joined host Russell Crowe and AACTA president Geoffrey Rush at the event, marking the first time that all four actors — who have each won an Oscar, BAFTA, a Golden Globe, and an AFI Award — were in the same room at the same time. At the event, the Australian film The Sapphires won the biggest awards of the night, including best film, best direction, and best actor for Chris O'Dowd.

Although the official AACTA Awards took place in Australia, there was a special AACTA Awards lunch held in LA over the past weekend. At the lunch, we caught up with honoree and Aussie actress Jacki Weaver who talked about playing Bradley Cooper's mom in Silver Linings Playbook. Jacki also revealed at the AACTA lunch that her costar Jennifer Lawrence is battling pneumonia, although Jennifer pulled it together to attend the SAG Awards on Sunday.

With the Oscars only a couple of weeks away, we've got a few predictions, and it looks like certain people (go Christopher Plummer, go!) might be sweeping this award season. There are many actors who have pulled off this feat in the past, so if you're curious to see the talented people who took home the Golden Globe, the SAG, and the Oscar for their work, just take a look at this list of triple winners (and you can check out the ladies here).

Disneyland rolled out a black carpet for Penelope Cruz and Johnny Depp at the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides world premiere last night. New mom Penelope was without her two favorite guys, husband Javier Bardem and baby Leo, but she did stop to hug Mickey Mouse before joining the rest of the cast on stage. Johnny too walked the press line solo before stopping to chat with his close friend, and Jack Sparrow inspiration, Keith Richards. Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush was in high spirits as was up-and-comer Sam Claflin. Sam's fairly fresh to the Hollywood scene, but the British actor just landed the role of Prince Charmot opposite Kristen Stewart in their upcoming take on the classic fairy tale, Snow White and the Huntsman. Many celebrities also turned out to catch the fourth installment of Jerry Bruckheimer's Pirates franchise. Best friends Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale posed together as did mother-daughter duo Teri Hatcher and Emerson Rose. Eva Longoria joined her Desperate Housewives cast mate Teri at the event after throwing Victoria Beckham a baby shower earlier in the day.

As we inch closer to Sunday's Oscars, I'm starting to break down all the major categories and make my own predictions for the night's winners. Yesterday I tackled the best supporting actresses, but now let's take a closer look at the men in supporting roles.

Fans of The King's Speech gathered at LA's Chateau Marmont last night to toast the film's stars, Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, as well as director Tom Hooper. The event gave new dad Orlando Bloom his latest chance to get social as he mingled in a crowd that included his ex-girlfriend, Kate Bosworth, and her current flame Alexander Skarsgard. Michelle Williams looked fab earlier in the day at the Oscars nominee luncheon, and she kept the good times rolling by enjoying another girls' evening out with her best friend Busy Philipps. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony also got in on the award season fun, with him breaking from their special date to hang out with pal Lenny Kravitz.

Colin Firth, James Franco, Mark Ruffalo, Javier Bardem, Jeff Bridges, and Jesse Eisenberg were among the best actor nominees who dressed up for today's Academy Awards Nominees Luncheon in Beverly Hills. The men joined the female contenders for a celebratory afternoon, but before sitting down for the meal, they stopped by the interview room to chat with the press. James Franco talked about what he and Anne Hathaway will bring to the table as cohosts at this year's ceremony, while Jesse Eisenberg sang the praises of Mark Zuckerberg, whom he met for the first time earlier this month. Javier, who was spotted admiring Natalie Portman's engagement ring and congratulating her inside the luncheon, said he felt "protected" by his circle of famous friends and fans. While this year's competition in both the leading and supporting categories is stiff, Jeff said he thinks Colin will take home the award for best actor in a leading role for his work in The King's Speech.

The big winners from last night's SAG Awards reconvened in the press room after accepting their statues during the star-studded show. Colin Firth celebrated his best actor nod alongside his The King's Speech costars, Helena Bonham Carter and Geoffrey Rush. They also picked up the outstanding cast in a motion picture accolade, and Colin spoke about how fans have connected to the movie. The Fighter's Christian Bale, meanwhile, spoke about how his victory felt pretty "freaking good," and Temple Grandin's Claire Danes commented that her third award season win almost felt excessive. The Modern Family gang was particularly jubilant when they spoke to the assembled reporters, with Eric Stonestreet breaking from the celebrations to once again compliment Sofia Vergara's assets. Natalie Portman reveled in her latest honor for Black Swan following her dazzling appearance with the other ladies on the red carpet — make sure to check out all of our coverage from Hollywood's most recent big night, and stay tuned later for more on PopSugar Rush!
