It is nearly confirmed that Colin Firth and Natalie Portman would get the top honor at the Academy Awards on February 28, 2011. After the duo clinched the top actress trophies at BAFTA and earlier concluded Golden Globe Awards.

‘The King’s Speech’ expectedly won the Best Film award in addition to unpredictable Best British film of the year. The film based on the British Monarch’s triumph over his stammering struggle delivered the punch with 7 BAFTA awards out of 14 nominations.

What's next? Oscars probably!

However, the ‘Black Swan’ makers would be a little upset with the only award ‘Best actress’ which went to Portman despite 12 nominations it has received.

Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter, the duo who played the speech therapist of the monarch went home with the best supporting actor and actress trophies.

But, what would have been the most satisfactory award, the best director trophy for ‘The King…’ Tom Hooper went to ‘David Fincher’, who directed ‘The Social Network,’ which also got two other awards including the best adapted screenplay to ‘Aaron Sorkin’.

Mila Kunis: The Seducing Ballerina of ‘Black Swan’ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/02/07/mila-kunis-the-seducing-ballerina-of-black-swan/ https://www.bollywoodnites.com/2011/02/07/mila-kunis-the-seducing-ballerina-of-black-swan/#respond Mon, 07 Feb 2011 12:06:06 +0000 http://www.bollywoodnites.com/?p=3170

Mila Kunis, if you have seen ‘Black Swan’ you can easily remember the seducing ballerina who has given even the lead actress Natalie Portman a bump into her belly-in-dance. Though, Portman’s bump came from her relationship with boyfriend, now fiancé Benjamin Millepied.

In an interview to LA Times magazine, Mila revealed that she was never interested on taking a project to pay her bills.

‘I know people say this all the time, but it’s true: I don’t ever want to work for the sake of working,’ she told the magazine.

Kunis has played the same role for eight magnificent years for a 70’s show, however she was looking for some variation in her professional career and it surprisingly happened with Oscar nominated ‘Black Swan’ where she didn’t even go for a formal audition. Luckily for her the role was offered to Mila after few video meetings with the director Darren Aronofsky.

‘I was very lucky to have a show for eight years. Now I can sit back and think about what I want.’

The 27-year-old actress has posed for the LA Times Magazine in a white Rick Owens dress which shows her dancer-like figure.

It’s a saying in Hindi, “Bhagwaan Jab deta hai to chappar phad ke deta hai” (when he gives, he gives in abundance) which aptly describes Frieda Pinto’s case.

Yesterday, she was a small time model in Mumbai, unknown and unrecognized. Luckily, Danny Boyles ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ happened which not only gave her recognition and fame across the globe but also looks establishing her into an actress! So much so less that three-time Oscar winner Woody Allen wish to cast her in his next flick.

In an interview to U.S morning news programme Today, the 24 year sensation credited Boyle for landing the role in Allen’s new venture- but forget Rahul Antao for anything.

The lady expressed her eagerness, Yes, it’s up (begins) in July (09). So thank you, Danny Boyle, for helping me take off,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

Now, we expect some disclosure from the lady- hopefully Dev Patel relation could soon hit the headlines! We look forward to it or another success and…
