Selma's Oscar snub is still a sore point among film fans. The story was powerful and timely, the director's work was astounding, and the performances were strong. So why didn't it get any love outside of Best Picture and Best Original Song? There's one Oscar voter who has a reason, but chances are it'll infuriate all those who adored the film. As part of an ongoing series, The Hollywood Reporter has been publishing conversations with different Academy voters each day leading up to the Oscars on February 22. The most recent installment centered on an anonymous female voter, who's said to be a longtime member of the Academy's 378-member public relations branch. When asked about her vote for Best Picture, she had some extremely blunt words to say about Selma. What no one wants to say out loud is that Selma is a well-crafted »

2 hours ago | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

About two months, District 9 director Neill Blomkamp teased the world via his personal Instagram account with some badass concept art suggesting that he was developing a brand new movie in the Alien franchise that would bring back original series star Sigourney Weaver. There has been plenty of questioning in the weeks since regarding whether or not this project would actually ever be happening, but today we have an actual answer - and it's yes! This confirmation came this afternoon, once again from Blomkamp's Instagram feed.
