Peter — Mon, 25 Feb 2013 07:54:34 +0000

With all the other awards the last few weeks, with all their acronyms of guilds, like PGA, DGA, WGA etc, and the Globes and the Spirit Awards and all those predictions ( the most interesting actually an article in Forbes) it is now crunchtime and we’ll see with how many Oscars Django Unchained will go home with tonight. The 85th annual Academy Awards are here (and it’s also Sebastian’s birthday, so the award for ...

Django Unchained takes home 2 Golden Globes

Sebastian — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 13:32:28 +0000

After a much-hyped nomination month, stars took to the red carpet last night for the Golden Globes, awarded by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. Django Unchained was nominated in several categories, and as the Globes are sometimes considered a precursor to the Oscars, the mood was tense and hopeful. The Globes are a mainly TV event, and don’t drag on as much as the Academy Awards. Without further ado, the first Globe went to Christoph ...

Django Unchained nominated for 5 Oscars

Sebastian — Thu, 10 Jan 2013 15:22:51 +0000

The verdict is in. Members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) have cast their ballots in a – not altogether smooth (there had been glitches in the electronic voting process employed this year) – process over the last few weeks, and the nominations for the “Oscar” are in. Some of these do not come as a surprise, but there are some omissions – cruel as always. The Golden Globes will ...

An Oscar for the Jew Hunter

Sebastian — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 13:11:24 +0000

What an evening. Hopes were high, excitement big. Inglourious Basterds was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, and each of them well deserved. The evening started out with no surprise neither: Christoph Waltz took home the golden statuette for his role as Col Hans Landa of the SS. A great speech. But the rest of the evening was a series of disappointments, when it turned out that Christoph’s would be the only Oscar the Basterds ...

Who’s a Basterd?

Sebastian — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 16:05:48 +0000

Inglourious Basterds (read 10 facts about the films here) winning big at the Academy Awards is still little over a week away (read here why it will win), but Monsieur Tarantino is making some space on his bookshelf for the little Oscar fella (even though in an interview he says he things Ms Bigelow should win the best director award), I’m very sure. Christoph Waltz has so many awards for his role as Hans ...

Closer to Oscars, Basterds collects

Sebastian — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 15:34:18 +0000

As we’re deep into the Oscars season, speculation heats about about Inglourious Basterds‘ chances of taking home one or more of the shiny little golden oscar statues. The Academy has increased the number of nominees from 5 to 10, which makes things a little more complicated, and absent a blockbuster that would unanimously be considered “the thing” (think a movie along the lines of Forrest Gump, which snatched it from Pulp Fiction in ’95, ...

To make this really quick, Inglourious Basterds will hit BluRay and DVD (as stated a few times already) before christmas (and after christmas in some countries). We have started compiling a list of all BluRay releases and a separate list of all DVD releases. Please note that these lists are still subject to change, as various Amazons correct the cover image and different version they get from the distributors. The movie will mostly be ...
