Ronaldinho and Kaka are unlikely to play together at the 2014 World Cup

Kaka (up) and Ronaldinho (down) 

Former FIFA World Player of the Year winners Ronaldinho and Kaka are unlikely to play together at the 2014 World Cup, according to Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari.

Both have been called up by Scolari for international friendly matches this year but neither has convinced the 64-year-old manager, reports Xinhua.

Ronaldinho, 33, has been named in Brazil’s squad to face Chile in Belo Horizonte on Wednesday.

“There is 90 percent chance that they won’t play together,” Scolari said on Monday. “I have given chances to both of them and I will give one more chance to Ronaldinho on Wednesday. I never had the opportunity to play them together in the recent friendlies because of the different situations both of them were in. It’s probable that I will have to choose only one.”

Brazil's national head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari

The pair is the only remaining survivors from Scolari’s team that won the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.

Kaka, 31, has struggled for form since joining Real Madrid in 2009, while Ronaldinho last year resurrected his career with Atletico Mineiro by being named player of the season in Brazil’s Serie A championship.

Scolari also said he was looking to add at least one defensive midfielder to his preferred starting formation.

Among his current defensive midfield options are Ramires (Cheslea), Paulinho (Corinthians), Fernando (Gremio), Jean (Fluminense), Ralf (Corinthians) and Hernanes (Lazio).

“This idea of having goal-scoring central midfielders sounds really nice to the media, but not for the coach,” Scolari said.

“When you have full-backs like Daniel Alves and Marcelo you need to have protection.”

Sachin's 100th Century finaly made after 1 year + 5 days

One year and five days since he scored his 99th international century, Sachin Tendulkar reached the unprecedented landmark of 100. For over a year a legion of fans had watched in anticipation as Tendulkar strode to the crease in India, England and Australia, and at 17:07 local time, when he nudged towards square leg for a single, there was a collective release of emotions.

Tendulkar, 38, had been stuck on 99 international centuries since March 12, 2011 when he scored a century against South Africa during the World Cup. During the time he took to move from 99 to 100, so much has changed for the Indian cricket team. In the last 12 months they have won the World Cup, slipped form their No. 1 perch in the ICC’s Test rankings, been whitewashed in consecutive overseas Test tours, failed to make the finals of a tri-series, and have seen Rahul Dravid make his exit from the international scene.

In those 12 months, Tendulkar’s batting returns had also diminished. In 11 Tests he has scored 778 runs at an average of 37.04, with a best of 94. He came close to scoring that a hundred a couple other times too; at The Oval he made 91 and in Sydney he reached 80. That innings of 94 was the best chance he had of getting to three figures – Tendulkar came out on the fourth morning in Mumbai in robust mood – but an unwarranted dab to third man ended up in the slips.

Tendulkar did not play an ODI since the World Cup final on April 2, 2011 until he was named in India’s squad for the CB Series after the Test debacle in Australia. That period included four ODI contests, against West Indies and England home and away. Injury played its part, with Tendulkar being ruled out of the ODI leg in England. In 12 ODIs since that century in Nagpur Tendulkar had made 307 runs at 25.58, with his best shot at the 100th hundred being his chancy 85 against Pakistan in the World Cup semi-final. He had not crossed 48 since then, until today.

Tendulkar’s 100th century was a fluent innings, which began a brilliant cover drive for four in the second over of India’s innings in Mirpur. His cutting and driving was especially eye-catching, and the way he maneuvered the Bangladesh spinners was masterful. His half-century came up with a lofted boundary over extra, off the 63 balls, and three figures came in the 44th over, off 138 deliveries and with ten fours and one six.

Upon reaching three figures, Tendulkar closed his eyes and looked up to the skies as he has so many times before this. And yes, a big sigh of relief.

Anand plays out draw with Adams

World Champion Viswanathan Anand played out an easy draw against Briton Michael Adams with black pieces in the first round of third Chess Classic here.

Taking into account his mediocre result in the just finished Tal Memorial, where the World Champion ended with as many as nine draws, this was Anand's 10th draw in a row in classical chess.

World Number one Magnus Carlsen of Norway snatched an early lead after defeating the lowest-ranked David Howell of England in a tense game.

In the other two games of the day, Levon Aronian spoilt a position of strength against Luke McShane of England while Vadimir Kramnik of Russia played out a draw with Hikaru Nakamura of United States.

With the soccer-like scoring system in place with three points for a win and one for a draw, the Norwegian enjoys a two-point lead over his nearest rivals as the other games ended in draws.

Anand, Kramnik, Adams and Nakamura share the second spot with one point each.

Nigel Short is yet to play a game while Howell stands at the bottom of the table. Anand went for the Sicilian Najdorf and faced a harmless-looking Classical set up from Adams who played white.

The middle game witnessed exchanges at regular intervals and the experts even thought that Anand might have had some chances.

However, with precise liquidation, Adams came down to a queen and pawns endgame which was a routine draw.

Commentator Daniel King cheekily reminded the world champion that he had now drawn 10 games in a row and that a win counts for three points in London. Anand was not at all put out and his reply was self-deprecating. “Even if they had been using a 9-1-0 scoring system in Moscow, I would probably still have drawn all my games.”

The Father of C-Language "Dennis Ritchie" was Dead

Dennis Ritchie, a pioneer in computer programming, has died at age 70, according to his longtime employer.

Ritchie created the popular C programming language and helped create the Unix operating software. He died a month after his birthday, according to his biography on a webpage of Alcatel-Lucent’s Bell Labs. Ritchie joined Bell Labs in the late 1960s.

The company confirmed his death to The Associated Press but would not disclose the cause of death or when Ritchie died. A spokeswoman said the company was trying to contact his family.

Ritchie is best known for his contributions to computer programming and software. The C programming language, which Ritchie developed in the early 1970’s, is still popular. It has gone through a number of upgrades, and it is commonly used for website development and other computer tasks. The Unix operating software also surged in popularity. It and its offshoots, including the open-source Linux, are widely used today, in corporate servers and even mobile phones.

Ritchie’s biography on the Bell Labs site says that he was born on September 9, 1941 in Bronxville, New York, and studied physics and math at Harvard University.

“My undergraduate experience convinced me that I was not smart enough to be a physicist, and that computers were quite neat,” Ritchie wrote. “My graduate school experience convinced me that I was not smart enough to be an expert in the theory of algorithms and also that I liked procedural languages better than functional ones.”

Jeong Kim, president of Bell Labs, wrote in a blog post on Thursday that Ritchie was “truly an inspiration to all of us, not just for his many accomplishments, but because of who he was as a friend, an inventor, and a humble and gracious man.”

Steve Jobs resigns from Apple, Tim Cook becomes CEO

Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs relinquished the reins at Apple Inc to right-hand man Tim Cook on Wednesday, after 14 years in command at a company he brought back from the brink and turned into the world's largest technology corporation.

Jobs, who fought and survived a rare form of pancreatic cancer and revolutionized the technology arena with the iPhone in 2007, is deemed the heart and soul of a company that started in a garage and is today neck-and-neck with Exxon Mobil in the race to become the largest U.S. corporation.

Analysts do not expect Jobs' resignation -- which was more a question of when than if -- to derail Apple's fabled product-launch roadmap, including possibly a new iPhone in September and a third iteration of the iPad tablet in 2012.

But the company's shares still dived as much as 7 percent in after-hours trade after the industry icon, who has been on medical leave for an undisclosed condition since Jan. 17, announced he will be replaced by COO and heir apparent Cook.

"I have always said if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's CEO, I would be the first to let you know. Unfortunately, that day has come," he said in a brief letter announcing his resignation.

The 55-year-old CEO had briefly emerged from his medical leave in March to unveil the latest version of the iPad and later to attend a dinner hosted by President Barack Obama for technology leaders in Silicon Valley.

Jobs' often-gaunt appearance has sparked questions about his health and his ability to continue at Apple.

"I will say to investors: don't panic and remain calm, it's the right thing to do. Steve will be chairman and Cook is CEO," said BGC Financial analyst Colin Gillis.

AGAIN, DEEP BENCH

Jobs' resignation marks the end of an era at Apple.

A college dropout, a Buddhist and a son of adoptive parents, he started Apple Computer with friend Steve Wozniak in the Jobs family garage in Silicon Valley in the late 1970s.

The company soon introduced the Apple 1 computer. But it was the Apple II that became a huge success and gave Apple its position as a critical player in the then-nascent PC industry, culminating in a 1980 IPO that made Jobs a multimillionaire.

Despite the subsequent success of the Mac, Jobs' relationship with internal management soured, and in 1985 the board removed most of his powers and he left the company, selling all but one share of his Apple holdings.

Apple's fortunes waned after that. However, its purchase of NeXT -- the computer company Jobs founded after leaving Apple -- in 1997 brought him back into the fold. Later that year, he became interim CEO and in 2000, the company dropped "interim" from his title.

On Wednesday, Apple shares slid to $357.40 in extended trading after a brief halt. They had gained 0.7 percent to close at $376.18 on the Nasdaq.

Analysts again expressed confidence in the Apple bench, headed by longtime company No. 2 and supply-chain maven Cook.

"Investors are very comfortable with Tim Cook even though Jobs has been a driver of innovation and clearly an Apple success. Tim has shown Apple can still outperform extremely well when he's been acting as CEO," said Cross Research analyst Shannon Cross.

"I don't know if it's a health issue. I don't know if it is a shock. Most likely it was going to happen at some point. Why today versus another day? I don't know."

Singer Amy Winehouse dies at age 27

Amy Winehouse, the troubled soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead on Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27.

Winehouse shot to fame with the album “Back to Black,” whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse - with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos - one of music’s most recognizable stars.

Police confirmed that a 27-year-old female was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London; the cause of death was not immediately known. London Ambulance Services said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene.

An ambulance could be seen parked beneath the trees outside her London home, and the whole street was cordoned off by police tape. Officers kept onlookers away from the scene.

Last month, Winehouse cancelled her European comeback tour after she swayed and slurred her way through barely recognisable songs in her first show in the Serbian capital of Belgrade. Booed and jeered off stage, she flew home and her management said she would take time off to recover.

Mick Jagger, who has collaborated with A R Rahman for a new band Super Heavy

Former Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, who has collaborated with A R Rahman and three other music superstars for a new band Super Heavy, have released their first single Miracle Worker.

Jagger, Rahman, Dave Stewart, Joss Stone and Damien Marley are also planning to come up with their first album by September. Rahman, who one two Oscars for his music in Slumdog Millionaire, is thrilled by the idea of being part of such a band.

"It took me way back to my high school days when I was playing in a rock band, but this one was a real one!" said Rahman. Jagger says he couldn't believe that the band would actually come to life. "I said it sounds like a good idea, I never thought it would actually happen," said Jagger.

The band Super Heavy with diverse and electric line up who share 11 Grammy Awards between them, have been recording together in various studios around the world.

"It's the most complicated record ever made. Imagine, some of it's recorded in LA, some of it's recorded in the South of France, some of it's recorded off the coast of Cyprus, some of it's recorded in Turkey, some of it's recorded in Miami, some of it's recorded in the Caribbean, and some of it's recorded in Chennai, in India," said Stewart.

Steve Jobs, Former Apple CEO Dies At The Age Of 56

Their homepage is now filled with Steve Jobs Remembrance. Steve Jobs has been suffering from some peculiar form of pancreatic cancer.

Fox News Twitter Hacked and tweets that Obama is dead

Hackers took over a politics Twitter feed belonging to U.S. broadcaster Fox News announcing that President Barack Obama had been shot dead on America’s national day.

The @foxnewspolitics feed stated: “@BarackObama has just passed. The President is dead. A sad 4th of July, indeed. President Barack Obama is dead.”

Just an hour before the message, there was a post “Just regained full access to our Twitter and email. Happy 4th”. July 4 is America’s national day.

Even nearly three hours after the last twitter update on the account wishing luck to the “new” President John Biden, none of the messages have been removed.

Reporting that hackers have taken over a Twitter account belonging to Fox News, BBC said a group or individual, calling themselves ‘The Script Kiddies’ appeared to claim responsibility.

Fox News Politics is one of the Twitter accounts associated with the industry-leading cable news network, the BBC said adding its Twitter account carries the “verified” tick icon, indicating that the feed belongs to the organisation it claims to be.

The twitter account that one get to see on the channels website @FoxNews follows the account of @foxnewspolitics.

BBC said it is unclear why Fox News has been attacked in this instance. “However, the broadcaster’s conservative stance has made it unpopular with many Americans.”

Fox News is said to be the most watched cable news network in the United States, with its prime time shows attracting almost two million viewers, well ahead of rivals CNN and MSNBC.

An attack on another Fox Entertainment Group website, Fox.com was the first confirmed hit by hacker group Lulz Security in May 2011, BBC said.

Federer knows a lot about cricket: Tendulkar

It takes a lot to bowl over Sachin Tendulkar as bowlers around the world would confess, but tennis ace Roger Federer managed to do just that by his knowledge of cricket when the two legends caught up during the Wimbledon Championship here.

Tendulkar, a self-confessed Federer fan, met the winner of 16 Grand Slams at the All- England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club after the World No. 3 beat David Nalbandian to advance to the fourth round.

Tendulkar chatted for an hour with the Swiss and posed with him for the shutterbugs.

“Spent an hour with Roger Federer, chatting on the balcony of the Wimbledon Royal box. What a humble guy! And by the way, he knows a lot about cricket!!” Tendulkar tweeted later.

The two also had dinner together after Federer's match.

Federer also talked about his meeting with Tendulkar on his Facebook page. “Today was a special day, played a good match and had the chance to catch up with the great Indian cricket star Sachin Tendulkar,” read the status message on his Facebook page.

Live streamed royal wedding reigns on the Web

The four-hour live Internet coverage included the ceremony at Westminster Abbey, the procession to Buckingham Palace, and the newlyweds' appearance on the palace balcony and their first public kiss.

Prince William and Kate Middleton may have had a traditional wedding, but the Internet traffic that accompanied the ceremony was something very new for the royal family.

Millions followed the affair in live streams on their computers, all the while commenting on social media sites. Among the many outlets webcasting the event was the royal family itself, whose YouTube page offered live video and tweets from Clarence House, the prince’s official residence.

Akamai Technologies, which delivers about 20 per cent of the world’s Internet traffic, said that global page views for the roughly 100 news portals for which it delivers content peaked at nearly 5.4 million a minute on Friday morning. That was good enough for the sixth largest amount of traffic ever, but well shy of the record of 10.4 million page views a minute set last June 24 during the 2010 World Cup.

Still, those numbers were very high considering that the wedding was so ubiquitous on TV and that it occurred (unlike the World Cup record day) when many people in North American and the United Kingdom were not at work, where computer-viewing is often a necessity. Friday was a national holiday for the U.K., and the ceremony took place early morning in the U.S.

There was some evidence, though, that the wedding may have been live-streamed in record numbers. Because it was streamed on so many outlets, a total figure was hard to come by. Akamai said that based on the approximately 25 broadcasters for which it delivered streams; the highest viewer count exceeded that of the World Cup traffic it supported.

Livestream, which partnered with The Associated Press, UK Press Association, CBS and Entertainment Tonight for its live stream, said it surpassed its own record with, at one point, more than 300,000 concurrent live streams.

Yahoo said it experienced its largest traffic for a live video event, surpassing its audience for Michael Jackson’s funeral by 21 percent.

The royal wedding was streamed by, among others, CNN.com, NBC’s “Today Show” website and Fox (by way of Hulu). ABC streamed its coverage on Hulu and on Yahoo. CBS, PBS and ET also streamed the event on Ustream. E! streamed its coverage on Facebook.

Facebook said that more than 6.8 million people globally commented on the wedding through public status updates within the past 24 hours, as of Friday afternoon. On the social media site in the U.K., David Beckham’s arrival prompted one of the largest surges in discussion with 9,000 mentions of his name in 20 minutes.

All the traffic caused some problems.

Web performance site AlertSite monitored 15 sites during the wedding. It found that while YouTube’s homepage had 100 percent availability, the Royal wedding channel had 74 percent availability and slower response time. The highest amount of response time, of the sites surveyed by AlertSite, came from AccessHollywood.com, ABCNews.com and BBC.com.

The BBC said in a statement that it was “experiencing some technical issues with BBC Online due to the sheer weight of traffic which may cause the site to be slower than normal in some cases.”

The wedding day online audience was a culmination of rising Web traffic. There were 2.1 million tweets about the wedding over the last week. Google said that in the month of April, searches for “royal wedding” increased 90 percent. On April 25, searches on Google for “Kate Middleton” overtook those for “Lady Gaga.” And on eBay, some 3,000 items related to the wedding were sold in April.

Tendulkar passes 18k runs in ODIs

Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday crossed another milestone as he went past the 18,000-run mark in ODIs during India’s World Cup quarterfinal match against Australia here.

Playing in his 451st ODI, Tendulkar reached the milestone with a single off Australian fast bowler Brett Lee in the 14th over of India’s run chase at the Sardar Patel Stadium at Motera. He was 45 short of 18,000 runs before today’s match.

The 37-year-old Indian maestro is the highest run-getter in both Tests and ODIs. He has till date scored 14,692 runs from 177 Tests at an average of 56.94 with 51 hundreds and 59 half centuries.

His aggregate score in all forms of cricket before today’s match stands at a staggering 32,657.

Tendulkar, who is playing in his sixth World Cup, is also the highest run scorer in the showpiece event.

Sampras-Agassi exhibition match

Pete Sampras defeated Andre Agassi 6-4, 7-5 on Monday night at a charity match in New York's Madison Square Garden. Five thoughts and observations about the match:

Love -- From the looks of it, Agassi wanted to win the match, but Sampras needed to win the match. After last year's debacle at Indian Wells, when Agassi mocked Sampras for being cheap and the two got into an uncomfortable on-court discussion, Sampras appeared to realize that while he'll never be as cool or revered as Agassi, he had the trump card: he was a better tennis player. There was a grand sense of satisfaction on Pete's face Monday night as he worked over Agassi and won in straight sets.

15 -- There wasn't even a hint of Indian Wells at the Garden. Both men realize they acted immaturely that night and were keen not to duplicate it again. There was some frostiness in the air, of course. Sampras wasn't joking in a pre-match interview when he said he wanted to kick Agassi's "[expletive]" but both men played it professionally, said the right things and were gracious in victory and defeat, respectively. There weren't even any passive-aggressive digs, like John McEnroe and Ivan Lendl were taking at one another in the early match.

30 -- Besides a desire not to come across as childish, there were two others reasons things didn't get snippy on Monday. First of all, this match meant something (as much as any charity match between a 39- and 40-year-old can). The incident last year took place during a goofy doubles event at Indian Wells in front of fans in attendance. This was a real exhibition at Madison Square Garden on national television. Second, Agassi and Sampras were wearing microphones last time. As Charlie Sheen has shown in the past 24 hours, somebody with a grudge and a live mic is a dangerous combination.

40 -- Pete can still get up in the air to do his patented jump slam. He may not be as high as he once was (or come to net nearly as often), but you can still see a glimpse of his past greatness:

Rekha Pared With Rajani For RANA

'R' for Rajinikant, 'R' for 'Robot', 'R' for 'Rana' and 'R' for … Rekha! The South Indian superstar, who's biased towards the letter 'R' ever since 'Robot' became his biggest hit, has now convinced Rekha to join the cast of his new mega production, 'Rana'.

According to a reliable source, "Rajini considers Rekha and the letter 'R' lucky for him. 'Robot' is his biggest hit to date. And he was keen that the title of his new film starts with the letter 'R'. Coincidentally, his director in 'Rana' is named Ravi (K Ravi Kumar). Rajinikant wanted his co star too to be someone with 'R'."

Apparently the timeless diva was hesitant to sign on the dotted line, since she had some reservations about her role in the film which stars Deepika Padukone as the leading lady. But Raijini was insistent and even flew down to Mumbai convince Rekha, who has previously been paired with him in 'Phool Bane Angaaray' and 'Bulandi'.

"Rajini assured Rekha that her role would not overlap with Deepika," says the source. Rajini plays a triple role in 'Rana', out of which one is a cameo. While Ms. Padukone will romance the younger Rajini, Rekha is expected to star alongside the older Rajinikant, in a different time zone.

Rekha has finally given her nod of approval and the project which will be made in Tamil and Telugu is all set to go on the floors in April. The graceful actress is thrilled to be starring opposite Rajini again. "The actress who herself is a big Rajinikant fan, is very excited about her role," reveals the source.

83rd Academy Award Review

“The King’s Speech” has been crowned best picture at the 83rd Academy Awards ceremony as precise as a state coronation, the monarchy drama leading as expected with four Oscars and predictable favourites claiming acting honors.

Colin Firth as stammering British ruler George VI in “The King’s Speech” earned the best actor prize Sunday, while Natalie Portman won best actress as a delusional ballerina in “Black Swan.”

The boxing drama “The Fighter” claimed both supporting acting honors, for Christian Bale as a boxer turned-drug-abuser and Melissa Leo as a boxing clan’s domineering matriarch.

“The King’s Speech” also won the directing prize for Tom Hooper and the original-screenplay Oscar for David Seidler, a boyhood stutterer himself.

British-born Hooper, a relative big-screen newcomer best known for classy TV drama, took the industry’s top filmmaking prize Sunday over Hollywood veteran David Fincher, who had been a strong prospect for his Facebook drama “The Social Network.”

Bale, Leo win supporting Oscars

Christian Bale and Melissa Leo won the supporting-acting Academy Awards for the boxing drama “The Fighter,” while “Toy Story 3” claimed the prize for feature animation.

Leo’s win capped an unusual career surge in middle age for the 50-year-old actress, who had moderate success on TV’s “Homicide- Life on the Street” in her 30s but leaped to big-screen stardom in her late 40s, a time when most actresses find good roles hard to come by.

In disbelief when she took the stage, Leo said, “Pinch me.” Hollywood legend Kirk Douglas, who presented her award, obliged with a little pinch on her arm.

Bale, who is English, earned the same prize his Batman co-star, the late Heath Ledger, received posthumously two years ago for “The Dark Knight.” At the time, Bale had fondly recalled a bit of professional envy as he watched Ledger perform on set like a whirlwind as the diabolical Joker while the film’s star had to remain clenched up as the stoic, tightly wound Batman.

“The Fighter” gave Bale his turn to unleash some demons as Dicky Eklund, a boxer whose career unraveled amid crime and drug abuse. Bale delivers a showy performance full of tics and tremors, bobbing and weaving around the movie’s star and producer, Mark Wahlberg, who plays Eklund’s stolid brother, boxer Micky Ward.

Best original screenplay

Best-picture front-runner “The King’s Speech,” a tale of Britain’s stammering King George VI that led contenders with 12 nominations, won only one of the first nine prizes for which it was competing, best original screenplay for British writer David Seidler.

The win capped a lifelong dream for Seidler, a boyhood stutterer born in London in 1937, a year after George took the throne. Seidler, who overcame his own stutter at age 16, had long vowed to one day write about the monarch whose fortitude set an example for him in childhood.

The Oscar for adapted screenplay went to Aaron Sorkin for “The Social Network,” a chronicle of the birth of Facebook based on Ben Mezrich’s book “The Accidental Billionaires.” “The Social Network” also won for musical score for Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, and for film editing.

'Inception' claims four Oscars

The sci-fi blockbuster “Inception,” which came in with eight nominations, led with four wins, for visual effects, cinematography, sound editing and sound mixing.

“Inside Job,” an exploration of the 2008 economic meltdown, won for best documentary, which proved an uncommonly lively category this time.

The Oscar buildup featured speculation about whether Banksy, a mystery man of the street-art world, might show up for his awards entry, “Exit Through the Gift Shop.” If he was at the Oscars, he did not declare himself.

But it was the topic on most people’s minds the last two years, the economy, that resonated among Oscar voters. “Inside Job” director Charles Ferguson subjected Wall Street players, economists and bureaucrats to a fierce cross-examination to depict the economic crisis as a colossal crime perpetrated on the working-class masses by a greedy few.

“Forgive me, I must start by pointing out that three years after our horrific financial crisis caused by financial fraud, not a single financial executive has gone to jail, and that’s wrong,” Ferguson said.

While “The King’s Speech” came in as the best-picture favorite, “The Social Network” was considered a potent prospect for an upset win.

The two films have led a strong and varied field of best—picture contenders since they debuted nearly six months ago. “The Social Network” was the early leader, grabbing key critics’ honors and winning best drama at the Golden Globes. Momentum shifted to “The King’s Speech” as the film dominated on Oscar nominations morning and swept top awards from influential actors, directors and producers guilds.

Best animated feature

“Toy Story 3,” last year’s top-grossing release and a contender for best picture, won the fourth-straight animated-feature Oscar for Disney’s Pixar Animation unit. Pixar has produced six of the 10 Oscar recipients for animation since the category was added, including “Finding Nemo,” “WALL-E” and last year’s winner, “Up.”

Best foreign language film

The Oscar for foreign-language film went to Danish filmmaker Susanne Bier’s “In a Better World,” a saga of two broken families that centers on two teenage boys struggling with violence at school and plotting revenge.

The Lewis Carroll update “Alice in Wonderland” won the first prize of the night, claiming the art direction Oscar. It also won for costume design.

The show opened as co-hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco inserted into a montage of scenes from best-picture nominees, built as a series of dream sequences reminiscent of “Inception.” The footage included such guests as Morgan Freeman and last year’s Oscar co-host Alec Baldwin.

40 biggest moneymakers of 2010

A definition: this list is limited to creative figures—stars, directors, producers—and to the money they earn from film. Thus we include no executives or agents, and we don’t count earnings from non-film-related projects, such as Steve Carell’s fees for starring on The Office or Jennifer Aniston’s for appearing in SmartWater ads. We did our best to ascertain a star’s up-front advance for a given film as well as his or her share of the movie’s profits, assuming there were any. (Often, the lion’s share of fees for a 2010 release may have actually been paid in 2009 and thus is not counted in this year’s list.) Worldwide box-office figures were culled from the Web sites Box Office Mojo and Box Office Guru. Revenue figures from DVD sales—for the first three quarters of 2010 anyway—were supplied by Screen Digest; we devised our own revenue estimates for fourth-quarter DVD sales by applying a conservative formula based on a movie’s performance at the box office.

While nine-figure windfalls such as James Cameron’s and Johnny Depp’s are still rare, Hollywood’s post-crash aversion to $20 million paydays and gross-point deals seems to be easing. The fact that a mid-range star such as Vince Vaughn asked for—and got close to—$20 million to appear in The Dilemma proves that the big studios are once again hungering to shell out Goldman-like bonuses for (somewhat) proven commodities. As one studio executive put it, “We’re not trying to commit felonies here, just a few misdemeanors.”
