READ MORE'Persepolis' Banned In Lebanon
Oscar-nominated animated movie Persepolis has been banned in Lebanon. Authorities in the Middle Eastern country claim the film, about a young girl growing up during the 1979 Iranian revolution, presents a distorted image of Muslims in Iran.
Lebanese officials say they've banned the movie, which is based on the autobiographical graphic novel by co-director Marjane Satrapi, because they want to avoid potentially offending any pro-Iranian elements in Lebanon, including political and paramilitary opposition organization Hezbollah.
However, Persepolis' distributors Front Row Entertain...

Who Will Win An Academy Award? Check Our Oscar Preview For Our Predictions
It's going to happen after all. For months Hollywood was left to wonder whether or not its crown jewel, the Oscars, would even go on. But with the strike resolved and plenty of time left to plan, tinsletown is certain to be completely alight once again this Sunday for yet another four or five or maybe even six hours in heaven.
But what should we expect from the first real movie awards show of the season? Probably some lame jokes, great performances and many upsets since the out-of-work voters actually had a chance to see all the nominees.

Which Animated Films Will Be Nominated For An Oscar?
It's almost here. The Superbowl of Hollywood (a.k.a. The Academy Awards) will be held for its 80th run on February 24. With the announcement ceremony on January 22, I would like to take a moment to look at one of my favorite categories: Best Animated Feature.
Some real gems have been nominated in this category in the past (i.e. Spirited Away, The Incredibles, The Triplets of Belleville, etc.). For this year's Oscars, there are 12 animated features that have been submitted for consideration:

Golden Globes Ceremony May Be Cancelled But We Still Have Our Predictions
The writers' strike has officially infiltrated awards season. The Golden Globes have been reduced to a lackluster news conference. That means no best and worst dressed list. No boozy celebrities making a fool of themselves. All that remains is an hour-long meeting at the Beverly Hilton Hotel with angry WGA picketers surrounding the premises.
So, until the Hollywood powers-that-be finally buckle down and give the writers what they want and deserve, we here at Starpulse are going to call the winners and losers. We looked at reviews, other expert predictions, viewer attitudes and who we ...

What To Do On Christmas Day... How About Going To The Movies?
For some families, there is no greater holiday tradition than Christmas day at the movies. Perhaps they like to enjoy an activity that, due to everyone's busy schedule during the rest of the year, is not as regular an occurrence as they wish. For some, they probably cannot think of another activity that provides something for everyone.
And then, there are those families who are looking for a dark room to pass some of the agonizing together time that is annually forced upon them. For many, it is likely a combination of the three.

Sean Penn Calls For Photographers To Be 'Locked Up'
Oscar winner Sean Penn hates paparazzi photographers so much he wants to see them imprisoned. The Persepolis star has long harbored a resentment towards the paparazzi - he was once arrested for scrapping with a photographer while dating pop superstar Madonna and was also accused of manhandling members of the press at his brother's funeral in 2006.
But the 46-year-old is unrepentant about his actions.
He says, "I still think photographers should be lashed out at. They should be put in a cage where you can poke them with a stick for a quarter. But not in a hostile way, just for gi...
