Academy Rescinds Oscar Nomination for ‘Alone Yet Not Alone’ Song

Songwriter Bruce Broughton has been stripped of his Oscar nomination for “Alone Yet Not Alone”.


Academy Rescinds Oscar Nomination for ‘Alone Yet Not Alone’ Song


The best original song nomination of controversial “Alone Yet Not Alone” has been revoked by the Academy’s Board of Governors.


The decision was prompted by the discovery that its composer Bruce Broughton, a former Governor and current Music Branch executive committee member of the Academy, had emailed members to make them aware of his submission during the nominations voting period, the Academy said in a release.


“No matter how well-intentioned the communication, using one’s position as a former governor and current executive committee member to personally promote one’s own Oscar submission creates the appearance of an unfair advantage,” said Cheryl Boone Isaacs, Academy President.

Genres don't define film's success: Kodi Ramakrishna

Genres don't define film's success Kodi Ramakrishna


Kodi Ramakrishna, known for churning out blockbusters such as ‘Ammoru’ and ‘Arundhati’ in mythology and fantasy genres, says that the success of any film depends on its ‘story’ and ‘execution’, but not on genre.


“I don’t think genres have anything to do with the prospect of a film at the box office. It’s the story and how it’s executed that eventually decides the fate of a film. We’ve had so many films across several genres not doing well because of a weak story,” Ramakrishna told us.


His upcoming Telugu film titled ‘Avataram’ is in the science fiction genre. Read More On MSN

The two used to work out together in the gym where Salman, 48, noticed the hard work put in by the newcomer Haroon, who was spotted at the gym by his brother Sohail Khan — also the director of ‘Jai Ho’.


“We both trained together on the sets and before the film. When I met Haroon the second time, a month after the first (meeting), I found that he was working out to tone his physique more. And I had to fight a villain who was fitter,” Salman said in a statement.


But, it was not easy for Haroon to beat up the superstar. The actor, who won the Gladrags Manhunt in 2000, said that he worked out a lot and also added that Salman’s “home-cooked” food helped him in achieving a fit body.Read more on msn.

Randeep Hooda: Imtiaz is like a Sufi artist

Randeep Hooda thought someone was pulling on a prank when he was told that Imtiaz Ali wanted to work with him in ‘Highway‘.


Randeep Hooda Imtiaz is like a Sufi artist


With the film ready to release, Hooda, 37, looks back with joy on their road adventure which took the cast and crew through six different states of India.


“It was very nice working with Imtiaz. He guided us beautifully in the film. He is a Sufi artist kind of fellow but has the diligence of a school boy so you always feel safe. He really participates and helps you with what you are going through as an actor without interfering much.


“Sajid Nadiadwala and I used to joke that he is such a nice guy that it can’t be true. He must turn out a villain in the end but that did not happen,” Randeep told us over phone from Kolkata.


Produced by Imtiaz’s Window Seat Films and presented by Nadiadwala, the film will be released worldwide by UTV Motion Pictures on February 21.


Hooda, born in Haryana, seemed like a perfect choice to play the role but the actor found his Jat dialect would often interfere with the Gujari dialect that he was supposed to speak in the movie.Read more on msn.

“Initially I was nervous as I was thinking how my chemistry will appear with Abhay in the film,” the model-turned-actress said in an interview.


“It is my first film with him but it was a smooth chemistry between us. We were very professional while working in the film,” she added.


However, she feels that it is the audience that will decide their pairing in the film after watching it.


“The audience will decide when they watch the film,” she said.


‘One By Two’ is a love story and revolves around a couple who meet each other while living in Mumbai. Both are fed up with their lives and desperately want their situation to change.


Abhay says the film is a mix of his earlier films, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara‘ and ‘Socha Na Tha‘, that talked about romance, philosophy and adventure.Read more on msn.

Kamal Haasan, who has been named for a Padma Bhushan, says it is a “good fortune” that he has been chosen for India’s third highest civilian honour, but the artiste in him will only be satisfied when he takes Indian cinema to the international arena.


“I think it’s by sheer chance and my good fortune that I have been chosen for the award. But as an artist, awards don’t bring me satisfaction and happiness. I want to take our cinema to the international arena. We have achieved that feat in other fields, but commercial success is not everything,” Kamal told us at his residence.
