Harrison Presenting at the Oscars

HARRISON PRESENTING AT THE OSCARS

The list of year's Oscars presenters was announced yesterday and "our" man is among them. We don't (yet) know which category he'll do.

May we add that we think it's high time he was at the recipient end of that statue. He's been passed over a couple of times too many --

The ceremonies are due on Sunday Feb 24 at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood and will be broadcast on ABC from 8 pm EST/5PT and live in over 200 countries worldwide.

PS. Don't forget the interview Barbara Walters will do with Harrison on her Oscar Special on the same channel at 7 pm EST/after the ceremonies broadcast on the West Coast.

Scan from the last issue of German movie magazine "Cinema"
 
As of writing it's early morning here at HFW's European office and the undersigned admits to not having slept much... The reason: today is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Trailer Day and the butterflies are having a heyday down the ol'stomach.

For our those of you who are night owls or happen to be living in the Eastern hemisphere: rest your eyes on Da Man while waiting those last few incredibly long hours before we get to see the first new Indiana Jones footage in 19 years.

A Reminder and On Broken Hearts, George Talks History Too

A REMINDER
...and on broken hearts, George talks (history) too


Just a little reminder: Harrison will be appearing on Barbara Walters Oscar Special on Sunday Feb 24 at 7 pm EST and after the Oscars broadcast on the US West Coast.
 

At the VES Awards (l-r): Dennis Muren, Steven Spielberg, Douglas Trumbull
Steven Spielberg was awarded the Visual Effects Society Lifetime Achievement Award on Sunday (Feb 10). According to website Rotten Tomatoes, Spielberg reflected on Crystal Skull and admitted it had hurt to let it go:
 
"It was awful the last day of shooting because I didn't want it to end, Harrison didn't want it to end, Karen, none of us wanted it to end. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had."

Other than that the director stayed as mum as ever on the project and promptly referred the more inquisitive to the producers: ""Well, you'll have to ask my producer Frank Marshall and he's not talking. And George Lucas, and he never talks."

The latter is not entirely true   George Lucas has just been heard on Good Morning America Radio on his interest in history and ABC was kind enough to have a camera on duty as well as the mike. Hit Play below to see and hear George talk:
