Oscar Nominees Lunch - Brad Pitt and George ClooneyGeorge Clooney says the best thing about Academy Awards nominations is not necessarily the prizes. It's hanging with old and new friends.

At the annual Oscar nominee luncheon Monday, Clooney said he's made new pals on the awards circuit this season and has been happy to catch up with longtime friends such as Viola Davis and Brad Pitt, his co-star in the Ocean's Eleven movies.

"A lot of people at home think we all hang out together. I think they think we're always at the Hilton drinking champagne. The truth is I hadn't seen Brad in about a year" until they crossed paths around the time of January's Golden Globes, Clooney told reporters before sitting down to lunch. "So it's fun to catch up, and it's fun to see people I like and haven't seen in a long time."

Both are up for the best-actor Oscar - Clooney for The Descendants and Pitt for Moneyball.

andrew wight, sanctum

Award-winning American cinematographer Mike deGruy and Australian television writer-producer Andrew Wight have died in a helicopter crash in eastern Australia, their employer National Geographic said Sunday.

Police said two people - an Australian pilot and an American passenger - died Saturday when their helicopter crashed soon after takeoff from an airstrip near Nowra, 97 miles (156 kilometers) south of Sydney, but did not immediately release the victims' identities. Australia's ABC News reported that Wight was piloting the helicopter when it crashed.

National Geographic and Titanic director James Cameron confirmed the victims' identities in a joint statement that said "the deep-sea community lost two of its finest" with the deaths of the two underwater documentary specialists.

David Bennett, president of Australia's South Coast Recreational Flying Club, said the pair had set off to film a documentary when they crashed.

chronicle, the woman in black, daniel radcliffe

Some unknown kids with superpowers have nudged out the actor who plays the world's most famous teen wizard at the weekend box office.

The 20th Century Fox release Chronicle, featuring a relatively unknown cast as youths who gain telekinetic abilities, debuted in first place with $22 million.

Sunday studio estimates put Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe's ghost story The Woman in Black, released by CBS Films and Alliance in Canada, just behind with a $21 million opening.

The two movies had healthy starts considering it was Super Bowl weekend, when few people go to theaters on Sunday because of the big game.

PudvokinThe word montage comes from the French word “monter” which means to assemble. In editing, a montage means to effectively communicate the emotions and ideas with which the artist is concerned. Russian filmmaker Vsevolod Pudovkin came up with constructive editing in the 1920s, which revolutionized the modern montage. Constructive editing was a method whereby Soviet filmmakers would take apart old films and put them together in different ways. Pudovkin felt that the use of new shots should make their own point and create new meanings through their juxtapositions. Using the psychology of Ivan Pavlov's conditioning (an experiment he used with a bell and his hungry dog), Soviet filmmakers theorized that the associations of ideas could work the same way. They believed that filmmakers should be concerned with creating new techniques that could create meaning, not just using the same old conditioned ones. Editing consisted of the thesis (shot 1) and the antithesis (shot 2), which when juxtaposed together created the synthesis (shot 3) which was a whole new idea.

As Cineplex celebrates 100 years of movie memories over the next twelve months, we’ll take a look back at some key moments, classic stars and technological milestones from each week in cinematic history, ones that helped shape and define the modern film industry into the memory-making marvel we view it as today.

So dig in with our third look back! This week's edition looks at Star Wars, Gene Kelly, the origin of Hollywood, and more!

It's Super Bowl Sunday, where the New England Patriots will take on the New York Giants and one team will win the big game and take over Monday's headlines, after which the general population will go back to not caring all that much about football.

It's also an occasion for Madonna to strut her inexplicably ageless stuff as our half-time entertainment maker. So while you figure out what kind of sauce to serve with your wings and what movie trailers and million-dollar commercials you're most excited to watch, we're getting you ready for Super Bowl XLVI with our Top 10 Football Movies.

Get the list after the jump!

billy crystal, oscars, academy awards

"Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up my prescriptions."
—Billy Crystal announcing his return as Oscar host on Twitter (November 10th, 2011)

News that Billy Crystal is appearing in a movie no longer draws crowds. News he's returning as host of the Academy Awards, however...

Some people just have a niche.

The most emotional moment of last year's Academy Awards ceremony didn’t come courtesy of awkward young hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco; it was when Billy Crystal stepped out to present a surprise tribute to another great host, Bob Hope.

"Wow," Crystal responded to the standing ovation. Then, after a beat: "So, where was I?"

It had been seven years since Crystal last hosted the Awards; that was his eighth time. The Academy struggled to find a suitable replacement in his absence, plugging the spot mostly with comedians like Jon Stewart, Chris Rock and Ellen DeGeneres. But no one stuck.

mark ruffalo, scarlett johansson,

They assembled for The Avengers and now the big, green angry dude and the one they call Black Widow are joining forces to make music together in John Carney's Once follow-up Can A Song Save Your Life?

As we reported way back in June, Scarlett Johnasson was lending her vocal and acting chops to the musical and such disparate choices as Mark Ruffalo and Jim Carrey were being considered for the male lead. Thankfully, Ruffalo won the role and The Playlist had more details about the Judd Apatow produced romance.

Johansson, a lady who knows her way around a microphone - lest we forget her solo album of Tom Waits cover and a collaboration with M. Ward - will reunite with her The Avengers co-star Ruffalo and play an aspiring musician who moves to New York with her long-time beau only to be cruelly dumped when he starts getting a little recognition.

Tom HiddlestonFrom the broody baddies of Twilight and Underworld, to the popular small screen vamps from "True Blood" and "The Vampire Diaries", there's certainly no shortage of projects to satisfy your hunger for the undead these days. And lest you think you're immune to the thrall of the on-screen bloodsuckers, director Jim Jarmusch recently revealed he’ll be throwing his hat into the genre ring with a new film that may just appeal to a whole new audience. What sets this one apart? It's set to star Tilda Swinton, John Hurt and Mia Wasikowska.

The centuries-old love story between two vamps, currently titled Only Loves Left Alive , is set to start shooting later this year. Originally slated to star our breakout actor of 2011, Michael Fassbender, the romantic leading role is now in the more-than-capable hands of British actor Tom Hiddleston (Thor, War Horse). Though we have to admit we're bummed about not seeing Fassy front and center in this one, we're equally happy to see the talented Hiddleston get a chance to impress alongside the stellar cast. Did we mention Tilda Swinton? We did? Well...it bears repeating.
