Adele to Perform 'Skyfall' at the Oscars
Adele will perform her Oscar-nominated theme song from Skyfall at the 85th Academy Awards ceremony, the show's producers said Wednesday. They said that the performance will be the first time she will have performed "Skyfall" anywhere live and her first U.S. TV performance since the Grammys last year.
After a break from the spotlight due to her pregnancy, Adele recently appeared at the Golden Globes and accepted an award for the song there.
Producers previously also announced a tribute to the 50-year-old Bond franchise during the Oscar show and telecast.
The song, "Skyfall," from the James Bond film, is nominated in the best original song category at the Oscars. Written by Adele and Paul Epworth, it is the first Bond theme ever to debut in Billboard's top 10 chart and the first to be nominated for an Oscar since "For Your Eyes Only" in 1981.
"It's an honor to be nominated and terrifyingly wonderful to be singing in front of people who have captured my imagination over and over again," said Adele. "It's something I've never experienced and probably only ever will once!"
"We have enormous respect for Adele's unique artistry as a songwriter and a singer," said Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the producers of this year's Oscar show. "She is currently one of the most successful recording artists in the world, and we believe that her performance of "Skyfall" will be an exciting Oscar moment for audiences watching at the Dolby Theatre and on television screens around the world."
The Oscars will be handed out on Feb. 24, at the Dolby Theatre at the Hollywood & Highland Center. Seth MacFarlane will host the awards show on ABC.

Barbra Streisand will sing at Oscars
The Oscars are beginning to look a lot like the Grammys.
Barbra Streisand is the latest high-profile singer to sign on to this Academy Awards' telecast, marking her second performance on the show. The first time was in 1977, when Streisand sang "Evergreen," the love theme from "A Star Is Born," winning the original song Oscar later that night for the tune.
“In an evening that celebrates the artistry of movies and music, how could the telecast be complete without Barbra Streisand?” the show's producers, Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, said in a statement.
The producers provided no additional details on what Streisand will sing, but her appearance could encompass a medley of her work in movie musicals such as "Funny Girl," "Hello Dolly!" and "The Main Event."
Or she could pay vocal tribute to the late composer Marvin Hamlisch, who composed the score and co-wrote the title song to Streisand's 1973 film, "The Way We Were," as well as Streisand's last Oscar-nominated song, "I've Finally Found Someone," from the 1996 movie "The Mirror Has Two Faces." Hamlisch died at age 68 in August after a brief illness.
Streisand did not perform "I've Finally Found Someone" at the 1997 Oscars, choosing to watch from the audience as Celine Dion sang the number.
Streisand's addition is the latest indication that Zadan and Meron are putting a heavy emphasis on music, befitting their background on Broadway and producing such movies as "Hairspray," "Footloose" and "Chicago."
The 85th edition of the awards will include a celebration of three movie musicals from the last decade: "Dreamgirls," "Chicago" and this year's best picture nominee, "Les Miserables." In addition, English chanteuse Adele will sing "Skyfall," her soulful Top 10 title song from the latest James Bond film, and Norah Jones will perform "Everybody Needs a Best Friend," a song she co-wrote with Oscar host Seth MacFarlane.
The music-heavy lineup stands in stark contrast to last year's ceremony, which featured no musical performances, save for Esperanza Spalding's rendition of "What a Wonderful World" during the "in memorium" segment.

Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible
I'm not much of a movie person, but sometimes watching these movie ads make me go
I don't understand how some of these people get hired 
The chick from Twilight makes my head spin. She's so untalented, and I don't get the entire Twilight thing. This girl has time for school in between her busy schedule of vampires, werewolves, and poetry. And I don't understand what smells like to be so irresistible to vampires and werewolves. Does she smell like cake batter and money or what? Regardless, I think she's horrible.
Any actors/actresses you think are horrible?

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible
Pretty much my list.
KS is one of the most untalented actors ever.
And she must lose a gallon of blood every time she menstruates in twilight in order to make any vampire or werewolf sniff after her.

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible
I'll share an observation that my 82-year-old father made...
Today's actors are better trained and more "real" acting than the actors of 50 years ago or more.
Look at some of the "Hollywood legends" in their best films, and the acting was mediocre at best...
John Wayne was crappy in any movie that didn't have a horse for him to ride. (eg. "Brannigan" and "The Quiet Man")
Clark Gable...don't get me started. He couldn't act, and he wasn't good looking by today's standards...
Katherine Hepburn...if she wasn't opposite Spencer Tracy (who was exquisite most of the time)all she could play was the spoiled aristocrat..
Bob Hope was a one joke comedian in most of his movies (exception: The "Road to___" movies with Bing Crosby)
Charlton Heston..he basically played the same character in all of his films (the struggling hero)
However, I have to agree with the posters above and their lists....
many of them were people who hit it lucky on TV and suddenly thought they had talent enough to carry a motion picture...
Who do I think is good (and I know that there will be posters below me who will disagree, so I'll make that disclaimer right now...) ?
Harrison Ford
Tommy Lee Jones
Sandra Bullock (she makes me laugh)
Johnny Depp (he gets weird , and has given some weird performances, but there's a solid actor under all that oddity, besides, he works with Tim Burton, who definitely has some issues...)
Robert Downey, Jr.

I don't give a shit what people say about Kristen Stewart. She Played a fabulous Joan Jett in The Runaways.

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible
@ronboy: i think thats more a question of acting styles that were fashionable at the time rather than "good" or "bad" acting.

They get hired because they suck cock, because they go to the right yeshiva, and because they're part of an agency's package-deal.

Re: Oscars coming up: Actors/Actresses you think are horrible
Of all the names named, I'm surprised that Tom Cruise, Adam Sander, and Will Ferrell are absent. Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseu deserves an honourable mention for destroying the Pink Panther franchise. (I won't mention Sgt. Bilko.)
Did Priscilla Barnes ever do movies? If so, put her on the list.

Re: The categories you would remove from The Oscars (to make the show bearable)
I'd get rid of them all. It must easily be the most sycophantic, self-congratulatory thing on TV.

You still haven't explained the semitic reference. Please do. We'd all like to know more.
