Watch: Between Two Ferns Oscar Buzz: Part 2 with Sally Field & More
"So she looks like an average-looking redhead with a weird dress on?" Yesterday The Hangover star Zach Galifianakis sat down with several Oscar nominees in the first part of a special episode of his talk show Between Two Ferns. Today he's back with the second part including Jessica Chastain, Sally Field, Daniel Day-Lewis and Bradley Cooper, all appearing after being nominated for Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln and Silver Linings Cookbook respectively. As always, Galifianakis is well-informed and treats each guest with the utmost respect. There's clearly a special bond between him and Cooper. Watch below!
Olly Moss Reveals Spectacular 85th Anniversary Oscars Poster Art
85 Oscars. 85 Years. 85 Best Picture Winners. The Academy (via Awards Daily), as part of the Gallery1988 artwork collaboration, has unveiled the official poster for the 85th Academy Awards this year. The actual official design, which features a new representation of the iconic statuette, shows the "light Oscar" which is based on Gjon Mili's 1949 Life magazine photographs of Pablo Picasso. It also includes the title of all of the nominated films this year. But besides that, they got Olly Moss to create a special 85th Anniversary poster, featuring an iconic character statuette for each and every Best Picture winner over the last 85 years. It's brilliant. This is why I love that the Academy is working with Gallery1988 to create stunning art like this.

'Skyfall' DP Roger Deakins Wins ASC's Best Cinematography Award
Finally, a celebrated win for the cinematographer who shot the best looking movie of 2012! It's time for the American Society of Cinematographers award, honoring the talented people behind the camera. The 27th Annual ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards were held last night in Hollywood, and the big 2013 winner was Roger Deakins, taking top prize for his work on James Bond's Skyfall. Deakins just lost the BAFTA award to DP Claudio Miranda for Life of Pi this weekend, but this is finally a deserving win, the one where even his peers have come to recognize how stunning the cinematography in Skyfall really is. Bravo!

Affleck wins again! Can Argo be stopped? What a year of awards! This weekend in London, the BAFTA (or British Academy of Film and Television Arts) held their annual show, the BAFTA Awards, honoring the finest in film and television from 2012. This year's biggest winner was quite a surprise, but nonetheless yet another sweet victory. Ben Affleck and Argo won Best Director and Best Film, along with Best Editing, but nothing else. Most of the other technical wins were split up between Tom Hooper's Les Miserables and Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, with a few for Amour and Silver Linings Playbook snuck in there.

The Academy & Gallery1988's Art Prints for 2013's Best Picture Noms
Stunning. The Academy has taken a bold move and commissioned, in conjunction with Gallery1988 in Los Angeles, a special series of artwork/posters for the nine 2013 Best Picture nominees. Together they found nine different artists to create a piece for each movie, and the results are impressive. Oscar.com (via Collider) has posted the full gallery of all nine prints, with artists, including popular names like Phantom City Creative (Les Mis), Matt Owen (Amour), Rich Kelly (Beasts), Tom Whalen (Life of Pi). Overall, these turned out kind of amazing, and I wish I could even get my hands on a copy of one print. See all below.

Seth MacFarlane in 'The Matrix' & Talking Movies in New Oscar Promos
We've already seen a handful of Oscar promos featuring host Seth MacFarlane and various one-liners as we get closer to the 85th Annual Academy Awards on February 24th. Now a couple more videos have surfaced hyping up the Oscar nominee (Best Original Song for Ted) and "Family Guy" creator that put him in The Matrix alongside Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne. If anything, this gets me excited for the standard opening that will likely put MacFarlane in the middle of some of the Oscar nominated films. Plus, there's a cool longer featurette with the comedian talking about movie memories from his childhood. Watch!
Ben Affleck & 'Searching for Sugar Man' Win Directors Guild Awards
So history was made. Last night the Directors Guild Awards were held in Los Angeles, announcing the winner of their 65th Annual Awards. The DGA chose from nominees including Bigelow, Hooper, Lee and Spielberg (but not Tarantino or Zeitlin) to give the top honor to Ben Affleck, director of Argo. Damn! In addition to Affleck, they also chose Malik Bendjelloul's Searching for Sugar Man as Best Documentary, Jay Roach's Game Change as Best TV Movie, and Looper director Rian Johnson for his "Breaking Bad" episode. Affleck admitted: "I don't think this makes me a real director. But I think it means I'm on my way."

Twitter Launches Nifty 2013 Oscars Index Site to Track Awards Buzz
Can Twitter predict the Oscar winners? Or even better, can Twitter influence the Oscar winners? We're now only 39 days until the 85th Academy Awards on February 24th, with the nominees already announced, so Twitter has launched a new page called the "Twitter Oscars Index". Using data from real-time tweets worldwide, they calculate who has the most buzz between the top six categories and all of the nominees in them. The page even has a handy awards calendar and live Oscar-related tweets. This is pretty sleek, and the data is presented well, easy to look at and decipher. But what does it all mean? Or is it just random chatter?
