You read that right.  Both films have been submitted to the Oscar Committee and are now being considered for nomination.  It would be amazing if Little Ashes was nominated – sorry New Moon not that I would be disappointed if NM was instead either, but Little Ashes in my opinion is far more worthy of an Oscar nomination.  However, let’s not get too excited even if it is a step in the right direction – ok maybe a little excited since I would never have guessed that Robert Downey Jr would be nominated for Best Actor from Tropic Thunder.  So you just never never know what the Oscar Committee is thinking.  We always say we believe Rob will one day be nominated, so hopefully this is an omen even though it’s not for best actor category – yet.  Thanks to the gorgeous Kate at our friends and elite affies ROBsessed and Mira for the tip.

EDIT:  This pic actually flashes & says ‘Happy New Year everyone’ but when using IE it doesn’t want to work *sad face* Think it might be because I made it using FireFox.  Just thought I would let you all know that the pic doesn’t just say ‘Happy’ hehe.  Sorry bout that, should have road tested on both browsers.  Naughty technology lol.  For all the IE users, here is my complete new years message because I want you all to be able to see 🙂

We have just received official confirmation direct from Hopscotch Films that they have the distribution rights for Bel-Ami in Australia.  How exciting is this.  It is so wonderful to hear some Bel-Ami news.  I am seriously so excited for this film & just absolutely cannot wait to see Rob in the role of Georges.  He is going to be brilliant.  Of course no release date is set as yet but we will be bringing you any info we receive as soon as it comes to hand.  Thanks to @remembermefilm for the original tip.

Well I’m not sure what’s happening Sydney, but so far only 18 tickets have been sold for the special screening of Little Ashes at the Ritz.  Considering 4 of them are mine, that’s pretty woeful, and I’m a little perplexed considering 56 said they wanted it to screen on that night.  The cinema seats 220 and I realise it’s mid-week, but how great would it be if we could fill it.   There’s the chance that if we do we can get a screening of How To Be at a later date.   Is this really all of you telling me that Rob’s not worth it? 

Please purchase tickets for Sydney here.  If you plan on purchasing tickets on the night – can you let me know by commenting on the site so at least we know there is definite interest.

I’ve also had confirmation today that there will be a special one off screening in Melbourne at the Astor Theatre, cnr Chapel Street and Dandenong Road, St Kilda on 10 January 2010.  Thanks Terry for squeezing this in.  When I spoke to him last week they had already confirmed their schedule up until April, so again people, let’s show them we are serious about Rob or is it just about Twilight?

 

How long have we been waiting for this film to screen in our cinemas – too long – and so for some the wait is almost over (sorry that phrase can’t just be reserved for Rob and New Moon).   Here’s the details for Adelaide and Kingscliff:

7th Jan 2010 Trak Cinema Adelaide – www.trakcinema.com.au
14th Jan 2010 Cinemax Kingscliff NSW – www.cinemaxcinema.com.au

and of course

9 December 2009 Ritz Cinema, Randwick – www.ritzcinema.com.au

We are hoping to add Melbourne and Perth soon and will keep you posted.  If anyone wants to recommend a cinema in Queensland that might seriously be interested in a screening, please send us an email via the site – robertpattinsonau@gmail.com.

Let’s show Rob how much we truly appreciate him.
