Nominees for the 83rd Academy Awards!

After eighty-some years of Academy Awards, it should be clear to almost everyone that Oscar nominations are a measure of the moment, not a marker for the ages. And you could say that the films of the moment are "The Social Network" and "Inception," both scoring 8 nominations. "Network" channels the pulse of the modern world of virtual relationships and communication breakdown and it downloads into Oscar season with dozens of wins from awards associations and critics groups, while the cerebral action thriller "Inception" piles on the technical nominations for its marriage of conceptual ingenuity and visual invention.

In terms of sheer numbers, however, the comfort of tradition triumphs over the discomfort of the contemporary: "The King's Speech," this year's feel-good triumph-over-adversity drama, dominates with twelve nominations, followed by the ten nominations from the Coen Bros.' most popular film to date, "True Grit," an old-fashioned western infused with their sly sensibility.In other words, no surprises in this year's announcements. It pretty much came down as predicted: the final prom of the absurdly overcrowded awards season with the homecoming kings and queens pretty much sorted out. But just because it followed the script doesn't mean it was the right script. Here is our scorecard on Oscar's slights and oversights: they shoulda been a contender.

In terms of pictures

Oscar opened the Best Picture list to ten nominees last year, not out of guilt for leaving out so many worthy nominees, mind you, but as a way to make sure the big audience-pleasing Hollywood movies that Middle America (in other words, the Oscar telecast audience) has actually seen would find a place in the show. This year they score with blockbusters "Toy Story 3" (both number one at the box office and one of the best reviewed films of 2010) and "Inception," Hollywood hits "The Social Network" and "True Grit" and success stories "The King's Speech" and "Black Swan."

What did they miss? I don't think anyone expected "Let Me In," the remake of the Swedish winter-dark vampire thriller "Let the Right One In," to show up this year, being both a remake and a horror film, but this perfectly-realized film surely deserves a nod as much as (if not more than) most films that made the cut. "The Town" was widely predicted to be a nominee and Peter Weir's etched-in-earth survival drama "The Way Back" was the best film of 2010 that no one saw in 2010. But the most egregious absence is Roman Polanski's "The Ghost Writer," which swept the European film awards yet is nowhere to be seen on this year's list of nominees. 

The smart, gripping, subtly Hitchcockian thriller may have simply come out too early in the year, or maybe the recent extradition controversy simply churned up a belated Polanski backlash. Either way, this is the Best Film of 2010 to come out of the nominations empty-handed.

Police Raid Juelz Santana's Studio, Find Guns and Weed.!

A member of Juelz Santana's Skull Gang group was arrested and charged with with drug possession after a raid of the rapper's North New Jersey recording studio, according to prosecutors. Police arrested Toby M. Raynor on Thursday (January 20th), after a 10-month undercover investigation by the Bergen County Prosecutors Office and Gang Unit. Raynor, who raps under the name "Hynief" was charged with two counts of Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance.

On two accounts in the Summer in June and July, Hynief sold an undisclosed amount of marijuana to two undercover officers with the Bergen County Prosecutor's Office Gang Unit. Police raided Juelz' studio, where they found and arrested Raynor. Additionally, officers found two fully loaded 9mm handguns in the studio, along with several boxes of ammunition. Police also found 17 zip lock bags, each containing "a greenish brown vegetation," which police believe to be high grade marijuana. The Honorable Judge Louis Dinice  set bail for Raynor at $50,000 with no 10% option. Raynor was remanded to the Bergen County Jail in lieu of Bail. The arrest caused Juelz to miss a show in Chicago on Friday (January 21st) with rapper Twista.

Can't you force your way through?

In our society today I guess creativity is lost, ideas and basic strategy is not forth coming. We must learn to be creative. It’s not only by learning but also by acting towards it, which in all makes it a reality.  Jobs are not forth coming so why not create one. Take the opportunity you have and create something out of it. You are dynamic and bountifully unique so why would you not force your way through?

Really i just can't ignore this world class music concept, can you?

Happy birthday to all my friends on 15th of the first month of the year!

What a blessed day and a perfect time to celebrate in this beautiful and graceful year. What a happy moment 

(lol).... Wishing you guys a happy moment!

On your birthday,
I’m thinking about how much light and sparkle
you freely dispense wherever you go,
how your sunny smile lights up any gathering.
Every birthday marks another year
of you radiating positive, happy energy,
contagious happiness
that infects all who come in contact with you.
May your next birthday find you the same--
glowing from within,
beaming bright joy on everyone you meet.
I feel blessed to know you. By Joanna Fuchs

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th...HOPE ITS NOT TRUE!

Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”

Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts. “After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.”

Zuckerberg said that the decision to shut down Facebook was difficult, but that he does not think people will be upset. “I personally don’t think it’s a big deal,” he said in a private phone interview. “And to be honest, I think it’s for the better. Without Facebook, people will have to go outside and make real friends. That’s always a good thing.” Some Facebook users were furious upon hearing the shocking news. “What am I going to do without Facebook?” said Denise Bradshaw, a high school student from Indiana. “My life revolves around it. I’m on Facebook at least 10 hours a day. 

Now what am I going to do with all that free time?” However, parents across the country have been experiencing a long anticipated sense of relief. “I’m glad the Facebook nightmare is over,” said Jon Guttari, a single parent from Detroit. “Now my teenager’s face won’t be glued to a computer screen all day. Maybe I can even have a conversation with her.” Those in the financial circuit are criticizing Zuckerberg for walking away from a multibillion dollar franchise. Facebook is currently ranked as one of the wealthiest businesses in the world, with economists estimating its value at around 7.9 billion. But Zuckerberg remains unruffled by these accusations. He says he will stand by his decision to give Facebook the axe. “I don’t care about the money,” said Zuckerberg. “I just want my old life back.” The Facebook Corporation suggests that users remove all of their personal information from the website before March 15th. After that date, all photos, notes, links, and videos will be permanently erased.

Sleek Audio teases wireless headphones, 50 Cent provides inspiration!

What's this? Wouldn't you like to know? Now that Dr. Dre and HP have teamed up to strike gold in the consumer audio space, it looks as if Sleek Audio is doing its darnedest to replicate success. Sleek -- which tickled our ears quite pleasantly with last year's SA1 which is apparently gearing up to unveil something special here at CES. Judging by the image above, we're assuming it'll be a pair of high-end wireless (Kleer?) headphones with the backing of 50 Cent. You'll also notice a svelte carbon fiber exterior, which ought to flex just right as the low-lows are passing through its drivers.

Update: An eagle-eyed tipster has spotted a gallery's worth of shots on 50's Twitter page, and lo and behold, it looks like he's already scored a pair!

50 Cent showcasing new wireless Sleek Audio headphones
