Will the Academy Choose Jennifer Hudson?

PopSugar — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 00:07:38 -0800

Jennifer Hudson looks pretty happy as she blows lots of kisses at a Dreamgirls' Press Conference in Tokyo. We don't blame her - the girl has tons to smile about. She's racked up a slew of awards for her role as Effie. In fact, it seems as if she hasn't lost at an awards show yet. We can't wait to see if the Academy will follow suit. She's already come so far since American Idol, but winning an Oscar would really be the icing on the cake of Jennifer's Cinderella story.

Ellen Gears up for the Oscars (Maybe New Family, too)

PopSugar — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 00:01:38 -0800

Ellen is one of Hollywood's most hardworking women and now in addition to her hit show, she is getting ready to host the Oscars on February 25th. In preparation, Ellen let herself get dressed up a little more feminine than usual for the March issue of W. In the interview, she talks about formal Oscar wear (no dresses for Ellen), her challenging rise to fame, and her relationship with the beautiful Portia de Rossi. She even reveals that she and Portia are toying with the idea of children: "The two are considering having children, and go back and forth on the matter. "Ellen would carry," de Rossi offers. Counters DeGeneres: "That will never happen.""

We love Ellen and think she and and Portia would make great moms. While we wait to see what fabulous ensembles the ladies put together for the Awards, don't forget to cast your Oscar ballot!

Will Honored as a Modern Master

PopSugar — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 08:23:20 -0800

Will Smith went from warming up a NYC crowd of extras to being honored at the 22nd Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival. BFF Tom Cruise presented Will with the Modern Master Award. Will is up for an Oscar for his performance in The Pursuit of Happyness and was asked about the film's success and what it takes to be a good father. Here's more:

"People are enjoying the film and it's reached a level of critical acclaim; it can't get any better than this," he said. "This is such a glorious time, it feels almost like emotional, spiritual greed."

Asked what it takes to be a good father, Smith said patience, compassion and commitment. He's the father of three in real life, including 7-year-old Jaden, who co-stars in the movie.

"You've got to really want to be a good father," he told reporters on the red carpet outside the Arlington Theatre on Saturday night.

Looks like a fun evening! Too bad Katie didn't make it to the event. Do you think Will will bring home an award for an Oscar in a few weeks? More pics of Will, Tom, Jada, Ron Livingston and more so read more
