Hollywood’s big night – Oscar night – was last night, and Maria made an appearance at the Vanity Fair After Party! She looked lovely in a shimmery little white dress, and was seen pictured with Sean Penn (they should work together, don’t you think?!!), Hilary Swank and Olivia Wilde. It’s great seeing Maria at such a prestigious event!
The first batch of photos from the event have been added to the Gallery, and more will follow in a day or so.

Before I start adding recent pictures, I’ve gone through the latest news and added a bunch of new articles, which you can read below. With that comes some other content additions, including Trivia, Quotes (one by her about Kristen Stewart, and a couple from William Hurt), updates to the Grown Ups & The Yellow Handkerchief filmography pages (quotes and reviews), and 3 new 2010 Press interviews.
The new interviews are definitely worth a read – Maria is so eloquent and I just love reading her interviews!
“I’ve never been a research person. I believe that my job is just to be present where I am and that one moment will lead to another moment, like in life. I’ve tried to work like that.”
“I know! Can you believe I was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for that? I was shocked!”
“It’s a very intense movie. I just shot it a couple months ago with Michael Sheen, here in LA. Three weeks. It made me fall in love with acting again! It’s a beautiful script and such an emotional story about these parents whose son goes through a Columbine-type shooting. It’s about their relationship really, how it falls apart and coming together and what that means.”
“I’ve never been a big film watcher, but since I got into the Academy two years ago, I try to watch every single thing that I get. I think everyone deserves a fair shake.”
– Movieline – February 25th 2010
“When I was growing up, my mother was a nurse and my father was a construction worker. If anyone was in need, they were there. They would just jump in immediately and get their hands dirty. We’re workers in my family. All I did in Haiti was to lend a hand and be a worker and they taught me that.”

Before Kristen Stewart became ubiquitous as Bella Swan, she shot a little movie called “The Yellow Handkerchief,” about three misfits on a road trip who bond over their shared loneliness. After the film was completed, the actress became a superstar. Yet her “Handkerchief” co-stars insist that Stewart is the same girl she’s always been, even with the pandemonium surrounding her.
“Well, Kristen before the whole hoopla of ‘Twilight’ was an amazing actress when she did this part,” co-star Maria Bello told MTV News at the premiere on Thursday night in Los Angeles. “I saw her in ‘Into the Wild’ as well and I couldn’t believe her depth and emotional integrity. And I’m so proud to be in this with her.”
It’s not just Bello who has kind words for the star. Her on-screen love interest in “The Yellow Handkerchief,” Eddie Redmayne, says that both she and his old pal, Robert Pattinson, have handled their fame with class. He says that as they grow more famous, he hopes their work will continue to become more interesting.

Nanocrowd, the movie search engine, recently published results of their analysis of the most overdue Oscar nominees. Robin Wright Penn topped the list for Most Overdue Best Actress and Leonardo DiCaprio got the nod for Most Overdue Best Actor.
“At Nanocrowd, we analyze movie viewers’ comments to understand how they reacted to movies in order to recommend movies that people will love,” said Roderic March, CEO of Nanocrowd. “We analyzed these same comments to determine which actors and directors should be the most likely to win Academy Awards and then from that analysis determined who has been overlooked by the Academy and is overdue for an Oscar.”

When United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was foreign minister of South Korea from 2004 through 2006, he experienced directly how entertainment can shape popular perceptions, when not one but two TV networks began airing miniseries about the lives of Korean diplomats.
Although the series romanticized diplomat life with requisite dashes of love and conflict, the net effect for the foreign ministry was a burnished public image. “Good storytelling is a very strong tool to change the attitudes and minds of people,” Ban recalled in an interview.
Ban said that’s what was on his mind this week as he led a veritable platoon of top U.N. officials, including the heads of UNICEF and the World Health Organization, on a mission to Hollywood to build relationships with the entertainment community and encourage film and television story lines about issues high on the U.N. agenda, such as climate change and violence against women.

Shutter Island was #1.

Kristen Stewart smouldered in front of a barrage of flashes at the Los Angeles premiere of The Yellow Handkerchief.
The Twilight star, who wore a short black dress, walked the red carpet outside the Pacific Design Centre as the photographers snapped away, and then quickly made her way into the screening.
Kristen’s co-star Maria Bello was full of praise for the young actress.
“I have to say I saw Kristen in Into The Wild and was so impressed with her depth and integrity and was so thrilled to do this film with her, which I think she’s amazing in,” she said.
“I think the Twilight thing is just like a bunch of bells and whistles because she’s going to have a fantastic career because she’s really great at what she does.”

Six years ago, “The Notebook” was viewed as a bomb. Weeks before its release, the film had received negative reviews, bad buzz and was being viewed as a potential failure. Then the people got to see it and reminded critics that ultimately they’re the ones whose voice means the most.
Opening Friday (February 26), “The Yellow Handkerchief” would seem to have a much easier battle. It has a young star in it far more famous than Rachel McAdams or Ryan Gosling were back in 2004 — “Twilight” icon Kristen Stewart — and similarly employs a dual depiction of romance for both old and young romantics alike. So why has it had such a difficult road to a theater near you?
“It’s such a gorgeous movie — it has to be seen, so Arthur Cohn worked his butt off to get the movie out there,” explained Maria Bello, invoking the name of the six-time Oscar winner who produced the film, which was made in mid-2007. “I’m really pleased about it [finally coming out].”
Both Bello (who appears as a skeptical woman wondering if she can once again trust her ex-con lover played by William Hurt) and Stewart (who plays a mysterious teen toying with the heart of a lovestruck character played by Eddie Redmayne) expressed happiness over comparisons to “The Notebook” — and like that film that many now consider to be among the best romantic films of the last decade, you’d better bring a box of Kleenex.

Maria attended the Film Independent Spirit Awards in Los Angeles last night, where she was nominated for Best Female Lead for her role in Downloading Nancy. Unfortunately she did not win – the award instead went to Gabourey Sidibe of Precious – but I think that was made up for by the stunning dress Maria wore! She donned a shiny pale mini-dress, with short wavy blonde hair – I think she looks amazing, and this is definitely one of my all-time favourite looks of hers!
Photos will be added to the Gallery very soon (hopefully later today), but for now here are some small previews…
