BuzzFoto Blind Item
We heard that an Oscar winning film from LAST year has a leading actor that didn’t get the part too honestly. The actor, (who wasn’t nominated himself) allegedly got the part by sleeping with the director. Apparently that old couch-casting stuff still goes on! More surprising, the actor claims to be straight….
Ed Asner for "Up"
ReplyDelete*I'm reading this as a male actor sleeping with a male director but still claiming to be straight, right? So The Hurt Locker is out.
Jeremy Renner
ReplyDelete^ Yeah, my first thought was Jeremy Renner, but that doesn't work because of the director.
ReplyDeleteI don't think James Cameron would swing that way, he doesn't strike me as that type; otherwise, maybe it would be Sam Worthington and James Cameron for Avatar?
ReplyDelete2010 Best Movie nominees were:
"Avatar," "The Blind Side," "District 9," "An Education," "The Hurt Locker," "Inglorious Basterds," "Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire," "A Serious Man," "Up" and "Up in the Air."
Jeremy Renner was nominated.
ReplyDeleteJames Franco from Milk
ReplyDeletesunnyside1213 - The director for The Hurt Locker was a woman, so the whole comment about the actor being straight wouldn't apply to this movie.
ReplyDeleteWhat does he mean by Oscar winning film?
ReplyDeleteI didn't read properly last guess. How about Lee Daniels and Lenny Kravitz for Precious to be different from the Avatar guesses.
ReplyDeleteJJ Abrams and Zachary Quinto
ReplyDelete(Star Trek won for make up)
It says Oscar WINNING film so that only leaves:
The Hurt Locker (female director)
Avatar (cinematograpy but Cameronis known for hooking up with his female starts)
Up (animated)
The Young Victoria (costumes)
The Secrets in Their Eyes (foreign)
Star Trek (make up)
Precious (screenplay)
Borg Queen - Milk was from 2009 Oscars. Enty says this was from last year (2010).
ReplyDeleteall it says is Oscar winning film. So it could be any film that won an Oscar for any category, correct?
ReplyDeleteThat is the thing: Renner, is supposed to be gay, slept with the director, Biggolow, who is female.
ReplyDeleteIt can't be Renner. He was nominated.
ReplyDeleteI guess Zachary Quinto is a possibility, but who else could have played Spock? He was perfect! I can't imagine he would have to go to any great lengths to get the part.
ReplyDeleteIn what world does Zachary Quinto claim to be straight? If anyone suggests Chris Pine and JJ, I will cry.
ReplyDeleteLast year must mean 2009, as 2010 Oscars have not been chosen yet!
ReplyDeleteChris Pine and JJ just to make sunnyside cry. :)
ReplyDelete@G, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I am now officially sobbing.
ReplyDeleteI actually don't know anything about JJ Abrams personal life. Is he gay? The blind suggests that the director is gay (or at least doesn't also "claim to be straight").
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call Lenny Kravitz in Precious a leading role so I am totally stumped.
@Missjenny - Damn. My new guess is now James Franco and Danny Boyle - 127 hours.
ReplyDeleteJJ is married and his wife was the one who suggested Chris Pine for Kirk.
ReplyDeleteWell then unless his wife is also his beard who serves as a pimp, I got nuthin.
ReplyDeleteTarantino and one of the boys? Say it isn't so! LMAO
ReplyDeleteWell it not Jeremy Renner- he WAS nominated for best actor last year.
ReplyDeleteOther than that... im on the Star Trek train.....Pine.

ReplyDeleteLenny Kravitz and the Precious director. That dude is Tyler Perry part deux.

ReplyDeletewhat about Tim McGraw in the Blind Side. I always thought it a bit odd that he got such a big role, seeing as he's not nearly the level of Sandy.... Plus he's married, supposedly not gay. And he didn't win, but The Blind Side did.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Brad Pitt for Inglorious Basterds?
ReplyDeleteOr Rupert Friend in The Young Victoria?
The only other possible guess is Rupert Friend in Young Victoria with the director Jean Marc Vallee. I know next to nothing about the director besides the fact he is French Canadian, but Rupert dated Keira Knightly for 5 years, so would claim to be straight.
ReplyDeleteBut the Lee Daniels/ Lenny Kravitz guess seems a bit better, if his role could be considered a "leading" one.
