Oprah Winfrey Might Host The 2012 Oscars

Possibilities exist for Oprah Winfrey to host the next year’s Oscar Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre in February. This is based on a report brought out by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences(AMPAS).According to the columnist Bill Zwecker, Academy honchos strongly believe that Oprah Winfrey could significantly expand the show’s audience.

In case, Oprah Winfrey accepts the hosting, then she will be the third solo female host in Oscar history, the other two women being Whoopi Goldberg and Ellen DeGeneres. Until now, there has been no sign of a statement yet from Oprah’s side to acknowledge the Oscar hosting.

If Oprah Winfrey accepts the spot as next year’s anchor for the Oscar Academy, it is expected that there will be a remark on the rise of television ratings. And it will be a new record for the increase of audience and viewers as well. For the 2011 Oscars, Oprah Winfrey was present, handing out the statuette for the best documentary host.

Madonna's Wallis Simpson Film Obtains Oscars Release Date

Madonna's film regarding the relationship between American socialite Wallis Simpson and King Edward VIII is being pitched for awards season glory by legendary Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein.

The pop singer's directorial debut "W.E" will premiere in December in the US, a timing that generally indicates a film is being prepped for an Oscars run. The Academy awards take place in March every year, but the previous months play host to a series of awards ceremonies which studios often use to hype their product before the big event at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

Weinstein stated that Madonna beautifully interweaves past and present in W.E. It's a very smart film, and a stunning feature directorial debut. He also added that he was incredibly excited about this movie and that he wanted to give it a prominent release date.
