The New York Post have listed Fair Game as one of the top contenders for next years Oscars. Seeing as this years Oscars were only held less than 48 hours ago, it’s a bit futile to be making guesses about next year, but we certainly hope Fair Game will garner some serious buzz in the next 12 months, and get Naomi some deserved recognition!

“Fair Game” — Biopic with Naomi Watts and Sean Penn as outed CIA agent Valerie Plame and her husband.

Top Spanish sales company Imagina Intl. Sales has pre-sold Woody Allen’s “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” to much of the world.
Banner pacts on the pic, which shot last summer in London, include Italy with Medusa and Germany with Concorde.

Sony Pictures Classics took North America in a deal revealed last week. Warner Bros. Ent. France has taken all French rights.

Now being edited out of New York, “Stranger” toplines Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Gemma Jones, Freida Pinto, Lucy Punch and Naomi Watts.

Newly-announced sales range from Sun Distribution taking all Latin America, to Central Partnership (CIS), Scanbox (Scandinavia), Paradiso (Benelux), Kino Swiat (Poland) and Frenetic (Switzerland).

The apple didn’t fall far the tree when it comes to 2 ½-year-old Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete Schreiber — so says his mom, actress Naomi Watts.

“He’s acting now … a lot of acting,” she jokingly reported to Celebrity Baby Blog backstage at the Calvin Klein fashion show in New York City recently. Insisting that she’s “not a stage mother,” Naomi later revealed that her firstborn “likes to play little characters.”

With that said, her second child with fiancé Liev Schreiber — 14-month-old Samuel Kai — has also been giving the couple plenty of reasons to celebrate.

“Kai is definitely starting to talk. He says ‘book,’ ‘apple’ and ‘banana,’ ‘Sasha’ — his brother’s name — and ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daddy.’”

Sporting a dress and cashmere coat, Naomi, 41, appeared fresh and well-rested at the event — and for good reason!

“Both kids slept through,” she revealed. “It was a good night last night.”

Tonight is the 82nd Annual Academy Awards, honouring the best films of the past year. While Naomi has not been announced as a presenter, who knows whether she will make a surprise appearance at the main event itself, or at one of the after parties? She did attend the Vanity Fair Party last year.

Stay tuned here for any news on whether Ms Watts attends the celebrations tonight…

Woody Allen’s new film, You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger, has been acquired by Sony Pictures Classics for North American theatrical rights. The film stars Antonio Banderas, Josh Brolin, Anthony Hopkins, Freida Pinto and Naomi Watts. The company plans a fall release.

Said Allen, “I love working with Michael Barker and Tom Bernard and I know my films are in good hands with them.” Sony Pictures Classics released Allen’s recent film, Whatever Works, last summer and Sweet and Lowdown in 1999.

“It is a privilege and pleasure to be bringing this superb new Woody Allen film to the American audience,” said Sony Pictures Classics.

You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger is produced by Letty Aronson, Steve Tenenbaum and Jaume Roures. It is financed by Mediapro, the Spain-based company which also funded Vicky Cristina Barcelona. The film was shot in London in August 2009.

Ms Watts is now in Canada where filming on her new thriller movie, Dream House, has started! She has been photographed on the set the past couple of days, and is seen bundled up alongside her director Jim Sheridan. Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz have also been seen on set this week, and you can see photos of them together at Amazing Rachel Weisz.

Rachel Fox (“Desperate Housewives”) is set co-star in Jim Sheridan’s “Dream House.” She joins a cast that already includes Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz. Pic follows a writer and his family who have recently moved into a house and soon find out it was the site of a recent murder and that the killer may still be at large.

Dream House, starring Daniel Craig, is currently filming in Gairloch Gardens in Oakville, Ontario.

According to one of our tipsters, they have and built the “house” set in the park and were spraying fake snow on trees that were brought in yesterday.

Dream House is a thriller about a family that learns of a brutal crime committed against the former residents of their new home. The movie also stars Naomi Watts and Rachel Weisz.

Today (Feb 25th), marks the first day of filming at this location.

After *ahem* quite a while with the previous layout, we now have a brand new layout up! Samantha created this design for us, and we think it is so pretty and feminine. We hope you love it too, so don’t hesitate to leave a comment!

Stay tuned for some content updates soon too …

Just a small update for today – I’ve added more photos – pretty much all HQs – from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Calvin Klein After Party that Naomi attended a couple of days ago. I’m liking her look at this event more having seen more photos now!

Lots more photos from the Calvin Klein Front Row show coming tomorrow…

Naomi was in attendance at the Mercedez Benz Fashion Week in New York City yesterday, making an appearance at the runway show and after-party for Calvin Klein’s Fall 2010 collection. She was seen alongside other big-name Hollywood actresses at the show, including her Mother & Child co-star Kerry Washington, and – rather excitingly for me! – one of my other all-times favourites, Isabel Lucas!! Her brother Ben was also there with her. Naomi wore a turquoise sweater dress for the runway show, and changed into a simple yet glamorous strapless grey dress for the party.

Over 100 photos from the two events have been added to the Gallery. Unfortunately I don’t have many good ’sources’ at the moment, so we don’t have many HQs yet. But as usual, I’m always on the lookout for more more high quality photos to add to our Gallery, so be sure that we will have more for you as soon as is possible
