Up in the Air

This morning I gave you a little taste of the nominees for the 2010 MTV Movie Awards with the Best Kiss contenders, but now the full list is out! Naturally, the Twilight kids are all over these categories, but New Moon also gets some lofty competition from movies like The Hangover, The Proposal, and Avatar. With categories like "Best WTF Moment" and "Best Scared-as-S**t Performance," we're definitely not in Oscar season anymore, but with the show's history of shenanigans and Aziz Ansari playing host, it should be a night of fun.

Voting is now open so be sure to give some love to your favorite contenders — but good luck trying to edge out the Twi-hards. Check out the full list of nominees when you read more

Anna Kendrick was belted and in blue this morning as she smiled for photographers at a press conference for Up in the Air in Tokyo. Her film is out on DVD in the states already, but it's due to hit theaters in Japan on March 20. The last few months of award season were busy for Anna, and things haven't slowed down for her or her costars since the Oscars. George Clooney headed right off to work on The Descendants in Hawaii, while Anna made a quick trip to Vancouver. She's soon to be back in front of the cameras herself when she joins Seth Rogen in his latest comedy, and then it's back on the promotional trail before Eclipse is out in June.

Before the Oscar hubbub quiets, maybe now is the time to check out a few of the nominees from the comfort of your own couch. This week's new DVD releases include two best picture nominees that you may not have seen yet, along with a documentary for a bit of brain food.

Up in the Air

In Up in the Air, director Jason Reitman brings us the story of Ryan Bingham (George Clooney), the grim reaper of job employment. Bingham zips between companies to orchestrate layoffs, using his disconnectedness to get the job done. However, once an uptight protege (Anna Kendrick) and a love interest (Vera Farmiga) enter the picture, Bingham begins to question his lonely-by-choice stance. Even though it was ultimately overlooked for Oscar statuettes, this one was one of my favorites of the year. DVD extras include a deleted scene with George Clooney in a spacesuit (really) and the video for a song I liked from the film, Sad Brad Smith's "Help Yourself."

Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire

I got major goosebumps during the Oscar clips of Precious in Sunday's telecast. So much that it almost made me want to view it a second time around — and that is saying a lot. The film centers on Precious Jones (Gabourey Sidibe), an undereducated pregnant teen living with a terrifyingly abusive mother (Mo'Nique). It's hard to watch, yes, but the message is surprisingly hopeful. Not to mention, Mo'Nique's performance has undoubtedly been one of the most buzzed about this entire award season. Rent it for her scene at the social worker's office. It's jaw-droppingly good. DVD extras include a featurette with Oprah and Tyler Perry and a two-and-a-half-minute clip of star Gabourey Sidibe's audition.
