Leave it to the folks behind the Grammys (that would be The Recording Academy) to put things right when it comes to movie music. Sure, they have a bazillion categories, but, unlike the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (the Oscars), they know a good musical score when they hear it and don't allow outrageous reasons to disqualify it.
Specifically, we're talking about The Dark Knight, whose composers James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer were disqualified for consideration because they listed too many people on the cue sheet, and There Will Be Blood, whose composer Jonny Greenwood was DQed because the Academy thought his score was "diluted by the use of tracked themes or other pre-existing music."

Veronica Mars actress Kristen Bell is set to play a vocal role in the upcoming animated feature film presentation by Warner Bros., Astro Boy. The film is directed by David Bowers and is based on the classic Osamu Tezuka comic series, which began as a Japanese manga and later was drawn into a cartoon in the early ‘60s. It was then recreated in the ‘80s and most recently, in 2003.
The main character is a robot boy who was created by a professor in memory of his dead son. The story is set in the futuristic Metro City, where humans and robots peacefully co-exist.
While no announcement has been made about which character Bell will be playing, Zap2It reports that she will be joining other cast members such as Nicolas Cage, Scarlett Johansson, Donald Sutherland, Billy Nighly, Nathan Lane and Eugene Levy in the film, which is set to be released next year. »

Oh, I can’t stand the suspense! This week, the 34th annual Saturn Awards handed out their usual fare of achievement recognizing statues.
In the event you aren’t aware of what they are, the Saturn Awards are the honors handed out by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films. The Academy has been delivering their awards for over thirty years and they look to recognize cinematic achievement.
It’s a recognized validation of the genre we so fervently appreciate.
Some of the more noteworthy recipients of the awards:
Walt Disney Studios picked up three awards, ABC’s Lost snagged four awards, and 300 picked up 2 awards.
More specifically, some of the categories that caught my eye were:
Best Science Fiction Film: Cloverfield
Best Action/Adventure/Thriller Film: 300
Best Actor: Will Smith (I Am Legend)
Best Special Effects: Scott Farrar, Scott Benza, Russell Earl, John Frazier (Transformers)
Best Network Television »
