The nominees for the 84rd Academy Awards was just announced and I wasn’t expecting anything this year, but I just saw “Man or Muppet“, from the original The Muppets soundtrack, was nominated as Original Song.

The song is performed by Jason Segel and Walter.

I have a few updates to do here at AAF, and I’ll start it with some photo sessions our gallery was missing. Check it:

One of the year’s best-loved family comedies and among the best-reviewed films of 2011, Disney’s The Muppets, debuts March 20 on Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD, Digital Download and On-Demand formats. The Muppets release includes the DVD and music soundtrack packaged together and also offered as the ultimate Muppets experience, a Wocka-Wocka Value Pack, which contains the movie on Blu-ray high definition, DVD and Digital Copy (three discs), plus a download card which allows fans to own all the songs from the film’s hugely popular soundtrack.

Disney’s The Muppets: Blu-ray Combo Pack, with its flawless picture and pitch perfect sound, comes with a fantastic slate of bonus content including the laugh out loud “The Longest Blooper Reel Ever Made (In Muppet History–We Think).” The exciting release also includes the hilarious featurette “A Little Screen Test on the Way to the Read Through,” which follows Jason Segel, Kermit the Frog, The Great Gonzo, Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy and others as they get ready for the first day of production, and much more fun.

Additional fun-filled features on Disney’s The Muppets Blu-ray include a groundbreaking industry first — ‘Disney Intermission,’ a hilarious all-new feature that allows viewers to press Pause on their remote control and watch as the Muppets take over the screen and entertain until the movie resumes playing. The release also includes “Explaining Evil: The Full Tex Richman Song,” an extended version of the rollicking rap song by villain Tex Richman (Academy Award® winner Chris Cooper) who provides the hilarious backstory of why he hates the Muppets. Audio commentaries with screenwriter and star Jason Segel, director James Bobin and screenwriter Nick Stoller are also included.

With the Muppet’s signature irreverent comedy, songs and dancing, Muppet fans of all ages will cheer as the gang reunites to put on a benefit show to save the crumbling Muppet Studios from being razed by nefarious oil baron Tex Richman. New fans and long-time devotees will find the rainbow connection when they bring Disney’s “The Muppets” into their very own homes.

Check the whole features in the original article.

Look at this beautiful shoot picture from Amy and Meryl taken to promote “Doubt”. Amazing, isn’t? Many thanks to Frederik for sending in for us!

Producer Charle Gillibert has announced the following, via Twitter: “Am happy to share with you : OTR french release the 23rd of may, more to come.”

OTR? That’s On the Road, directed by Walter Salles, and starring Kristen Stewart, Sam Riley, and Garrett Hedlund. As for the May 23 released date in France, does that mean On the Road will be screened at the Cannes Film Festival? Possibly. Cannes 2012 runs from May 16-27.

Warner Bros. will reveal the first trailer and new images this June to prepare for Superman’s highly anticipated return to the big-screen. Warner Bros. will begin promoting its Zack Snyder-directed Superman reboot ‘Man of Steel’ a whole year before it’s 2013 release date. The studio had a similar strategy for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’. The teaser trailer for that film debuted July 18, 2011, almost a year to the day of its July 20, 2012 scheduled release date. The ‘Man of Steel’ teaser trailer is set to debut on or before June 11th with official movie stills to appear in movie magazines and online before that date. (MovieNewz)

Amy Adams talks to TotalFilm, in the issue out today. When asked to compare Kermit the Frog to Henry Cavill, Amy says “Henry Cavill is very Kermitty!” She also told being fan of “The Muppets” since forever. “My dad’s really into gadgets and he had one of the first VCRs, so he was constantly taping The Muppet Show. ‘The Rainbow Connection’ is one of my all-time favourite songs!”

Scans will be up soon.
