Fresh off his gig as second-unit director for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit, motion-capture actor Andy Serkis is ready for the big time. He’ll be directing a retelling of the George Orwell classic, Animal Farm. But will he play one of the animals as well?

Cosplay is fun no matter what but when you’ve been doing it a few years, you start to think outside the box and see how you can mix things up a bit. There’s also those first-timers out there who want to start with something a little less complicated (what am I saying, cosplay is always complicated!) that’s more of an outfit than a costume yet still portrays their favorite character. In the last few years, genderswap and alternative versions of costumes have gotten popular in the cosplay world. Here’s a collection of just those kinds of cosplays from Comic-Con International 2012.

The woman who was named Hollywood’s highest grossing female director, Jennifer Yuh Nelson, can add another honor-notch to her belt: She was named Best Director at last week’s Annie Awards, which honors achievements in animated films. Rango won Best Picture, and if you thought that this is where The Adventures of Tintin would catch a break … you were mostly right.

Okay, that title is pure Hunger Games fanaticism, but seriously, when one of the major themes of The Hunger Games is the shallowness and self-pandering nature of pomp and circumstance, it doesn’t get more surreal than to see Jennifer Lawrence announcing the Oscar nominations like she was picking random tribute children on Reaping Day. Above, you can see the video, below, a list of the nominees, to remind you of all the movies you intended to see this year and didn’t.

Neil Gaiman has drawn up his own tribute to the Year of the Dragon (a “wobbly dragon”), and we believe this is relevant to your interests. More about this from the author after the jump!

Steven Spielberg is a busy guy, what with The Adventures of Tintin, War Horse, and the upcoming Lincoln on his plate. But he insists that despite this somewhat crammy schedule, we might still be making another trip back to Jurassic Park. Indeed, according to a new interview with Coming Soon, Jurassic Park 4 is “on schedule” for production and is definitely happening. No, really! It’s totally happening!

Andy Serkis is certainly a professional at what he does. The English actor now has motion capture roles under his belt for of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, The Adventures of Tintin, King Kong and Rise of Planet of the Apes but the he may not be doing himself any favors for future job opportunities with comments he’s been making about the industry and who deserves to be recognized for what at the Oscars.

Last year, only 15 animated films were eligible for the Academy Award for Best Animated Film, so there were only three nominees (winner Toy Story 3, How to Train Your Dragon, and The Illusionist). But this year, there are 18 films eligible (full list after the jump), so there could be as many as five nominees. Some of them haven’t even come out yet (Happy Holidays, Tintin!), but it’s never too early to guess who’s a shoo-in and who might be snubbed!

Those who saw Rise of the Planet of the Apes know that the new take on the film series left the door wide open for sequels. And I’ll bet the $453 million worldwide gross didn’t hurt either. The film’s motion capture star, Andy Serkis, has just been officially confirmed for the sequel, and it seems the studio is readying a big Oscar push for the actor as well.

The Adventures of Tintin hits theaters December 21st in the United States but fans of the Belgian artist Hergé’s classic comic book series have been slightly worried the planned film trilogy wouldn’t come to fruition like Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson had planned. Worry no longer, Jackson unequivocally said, “Yes” when asked if he’d be making the next Tintin film after he’s done with The Hobbit. In other news, Peter Jackson is a glutton for punishment.

In a perfect world, that would make those men MORE sympathetic to women when they talk about objectification of women in media.
Susana Polo
But really the take away from this is that two seconds of quickly covered up Chris Hemsworth stomach makes some men feel objectified.
Susana Polo
Good to know that a broad trend across much of visual media has effected one man, in one shot. We can all go home, sexism is over.
Susana Polo
Whenever we bring up objectification of women in modern action movies, people always bring up the one shot of Chris Hemsworth shirtless.
